891 My Mind Is Filled With Fireworks
The Ji Family members changed their clothes and made a reservation at the restaurant before leaving. They did not invite anyone else. They just gathered together as a family to celebrate.
“Would you like me to host a banquet for all of you later?” There was a faint smile in Ji Yan’s black eyes. He had drunk some wine. His expression remained unchanged, but his cold gaze was like moonlight crushed in strong liquor, clear and dazzling. The arc of his lips did not change as he said gently, “This is a joyous occasion for our family. We should invite everyone to celebrate together.”
“There’s no need, right?” Although Ji Mo rejected him verbally, his eyes were shining. He had already finished his college entrance examination and was considered an adult. He was allowed to drink some fruit wine during his meal. His cheeks were slightly red, and his curly hair was soft, making him look especially obedient. When Ji Mo heard Ji Yan’s words, he pursed his lips in embarrassment. “It’s just an exam. We don’t need to make a big fuss about it.”
“The college entrance examination is not an ordinary examination!” Hearing this, Ji Qian immediately put down her chopsticks disapprovingly. With a smile in her eyes, she said, “This is a major event in life! We should have made a big fuss and invited many people to celebrate!” As she spoke, she imagined happily. “When the time comes, I’ll invite all my sisters over!” She wanted to let them all see how powerful her sister-in-law and brother were!
Although she was stupid, her family members were smart! They were all top students!
Seeing Ji Qian’s arrogant look, Ji Mo was momentarily speechless. “It’s not like your exam results are out. Why are you so excited?”
“I’m happy. What do you have to do with it?” Ji Qian retorted.
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Grandma said in a soothing voice, “We still have to hold it. Even if you don’t want to show off or be high-profile, it’s normal to hold half a banquet after the college entrance examination.”
Since they had decided to hold it, the banquet was bound to be grand. They had to prepare it a few days in advance. Everyone enjoyed the meal. Even though Ji Zhou and Ji Yang couldn’t come back for the time being, they still called to congratulate them. When the meal was about to end, Shen Hanxing went outside to answer the phone.
Shen Hanxing had never revealed her school or major preference. Professor Xu Jinhe had been thinking about Shen Hanxing’s plan for the development of the eastern city area. He felt it was a waste for Shen Hanxing not to study economics and finance. After being rejected by Shen Hanxing on the previous call, he was still not satisfied and wanted to call to probe her again.
Shen Hanxing had no choice but to make it clear that she had no intention of pursuing further studies in finance before hanging up. If she had not recovered her memory, she might have chosen to major in finance. However, she remembered the things from her previous life. In her previous life, she had learned a lot of financial knowledge for Lu Shaoyang and the Lu Corporation. She had read a lot of related books. Even if she did not have a degree certificate to prove her efforts, she knew very well how much time she had spent on it. Now that she was in a new life, she wanted to try different things, just like loving different people and living a different life.
Shen Hanxing sighed and turned around, only to bump into a broad chest. The familiar cold embrace was mixed with the faint smell of alcohol, making it even more pleasant. Shen Hanxing didn’t even need to look up, and a smile appeared on her face. She called out softly, “Mr. Ji.”
“Have you finished the call?” Ji Yan responded and straightened Shen Hanxing with both hands. However, he did not let go of his hands. Instead, Ji Yan forced Shen Hanxing into a corner and moved his hands behind her waist so her back would not touch the cold wall. His breath was filled with the fragrance of alcohol. Ji Yan lowered his head and rubbed his nose against Shen Hanxing’s. His warm breath was a little hoarse. “So many people want to compete with me for my wife.” His words sounded a little aggrieved, especially because he had drunk alcohol. His black eyes were wet, and he looked more like a big dog that had been wronged.
Ji Yan’s jealous look made Shen Hanxing widen her eyes. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Mr. Ji is talking nonsense. Who would fight with you?”
“Your time has been allocated to too many people, Madam.” Ji Yan kissed Shen Hanxing’s lips with slight displeasure and whispered, “It’s been so long since the results were released, but I haven’t been able to congratulate Madam alone.”
“It’s not too late to say it now.” Shen Hanxing smiled and placed all her weight on Ji Yan. She wrapped her arms around his neck and looked up with a smile on her gorgeous face. “I’m listening. Mr. Ji, tell me quickly.”
