Shao Ran had always been a little afraid of Ji Jingbai, especially when his face had been completely cold. Clenching his teeth, he squeezed out each word from the gaps between his teeth, making her feel as if she was in a world of ice and snow. The coldness spread from her soles of her feet to her four limbs bit by bit, until finally, her entire body was frozen still, and even her brain could not think anymore.
— Just like now.
Being tightly hugged in Ji Jingbai's embrace was obviously a very intimate action, but Shao Ran didn't feel the slightest bit of gentleness or tenderness. She only felt her body tremble, and her entire body felt a chill, as if she had already forgotten to even speak.
Seeing her cowardly look, Lin Shen felt his heart ache, he could not help but frown, staring at Ji Jingbai, her tone was extremely serious: "Ji Jingbai, if there's anything you want to say, come at me, what is the point of bullying a woman?"
"Yo, you two are on the same page now, aren't you?"
Ji Jingbai felt like the fire in his chest was burning even more vigorously, and he looked at Lin Shen as if he was looking at a suicidal person, "Lin Shen, if I were to really fight with you, how much of a chance do you think you have of escaping from my hands? Old Mr. Lin's career was not easy to destroy. Do you think they can accept that? "
"You "
It had to be said that Ji Jingbai was very good at grasping at weak points. He knew what Lin Shen cared about, hitting him in a single strike without giving him a chance to resist.
His father had single-handedly built the Lin Group, and it had only been a short while since the Lin Group was given to him. If he did not achieve any results, and instead caused the company to fall into a predicament, then the family laws that they had treasured for many years would have to be brought out.
Shao Ran naturally knew of Lin Shen's situation. With his current strength, Ji Jingbai did not even need to pay too much attention to it;
Lin Shen had helped her a lot. In these three years, if not for Lin Shen, she wouldn't be able to hide so well and Shao An wouldn't be able to grow up safe and sound. was the savior of this mother and son pair.
Gritting his teeth, Shao Ran finally mustered up her courage once more and gently shook her head at Lin Shen. She gave a weak and forced smile: "Lin Shen, I'm fine, he won't hurt us, you don't have to worry. It seems like I won't have the chance to treat you to a meal today. Next time, alright?
"Shao Ran, but you —"
Lin Shen was still worried for her. He wanted to say something, but when he saw that Shao Ran was still shaking her head like before, even when the words reached her mouth, she was unable to say anything.
After a long while, he finally gave up and nodded. He said weakly: "Alright, since that's the case, then you guys should pay more attention to your safety. I'll "I'll be leaving first. When you get home, remember to send me a text message saying that you're safe."
"I will."
Lin Shen turned his head back three times, reluctant to leave, but in the end, he still got into his own car and drove away.
Watching as his car slowly disappeared around the corner of the street, Shao Ran's heart felt a little depressed. Then, a sarcastic voice sounded in his ears, "What, you're still unwilling to part with him, do you want me to send you to chase after him? "Unfortunately, even if you chase after him, he might not dare to do anything. After all, he already made a clear choice just now."
Such words of ridicule couldn't hurt Shao Ran, it only made her feel that the man beside her was becoming more and more childish. The experience these few years had not allowed him to grow at all.
"So what if we can't bear to? Under your power, aren't we only allowed to tremble? So, there's nothing much to say. We can't blame ourselves for not having the ability to blame others."
What Ji Jingbai detested the most was hearing her strange tone of voice with obvious ridicule. She clearly didn't have any expression on her face, but her entire body was emitting a sense of alienation.
He grinded his teeth, but just as he was about to get angry, his eyes landed on Shao An who was in Shao Ran's embrace.
As a result, the anger in Ji Jingbai's heart miraculously disappeared, and he didn't feel anything at all.
Taking a deep breath, he tried his best to maintain a calm tone and said, "Let's go home."
After saying that, he didn't even ask for Shao Ran's opinion. Instead, he directly hugged her and brought her to the front of his car, pulling open the door to let her sit.
Then he swung into the driver's seat.
"Mom, where are we going?" Shao An held her neck tightly and asked softly.
Every time he rode in a strange car, it would make him feel scared, even when he was taking a taxi.
Shao Ran hurriedly hugged him even more tightly, and gently patted his back, and followed along, one after another. She said softly: "Let's go home, today this uncle will send us back."
"So it's like that."
Nodding his head, Shao An sneakily looked over, just in time to meet Ji Jingbai's eyes. He was so shocked that Ji Jingbai immediately pulled his head back, and then quietly peeked out a little.
Ji Jingbai noticed his little movements and smiled benevolently at him.
He was originally handsome and handsome, but now that he revealed such a sincere smile, it added a lot of gentleness to his smile.
Shao An s courage grew a little as he started to brazenly look at him.
After a moment, he suddenly said, "Uncle, when you laugh, you look like you're laughing with me." Did you know, mother loves to see me smile the most, every time I smile, her mood will become very good. If you want to make Mom happy, smile at her more. "
Hearing that, Ji Jingbai's eyes suddenly turned towards Shao Ran's face, and successfully capturing the moment her expression became awkward, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but raise into a meaningful smile.
"Jing Bai, how can you be so good-looking when you're smiling? You look even better than those little pieces of meat. No, such a beautiful smile belongs to me. Other than me, you cannot smile at another woman, or else I will get jealous and be unhappy. "
In the past, when Shao Ran hugged her and said those coquettish words, they were still lingering in her ears. As Ji Jingbai looked at her ears that were subconsciously turning red, an idea gradually formed in her mind.
"You like An An's smile. Is it because his smile gives you the power to heal, or is it that It's because he looks like me, so when you look at him and smile, it's like seeing me smile at you, that's why you like it, right? "
