538 Coming of Age Gift

“I just learned how to do it not too long ago, so I’m still not familiar yet.” Han Yin chuckled. She was too embarra.s.sed to complain to Shen Hanxing in front of Ji Yan. They had been pulled out of their beds in the middle of the night to learn how to ride a horse!

“Happy 18th birthday, Hanxing. You’re a very nice girl. Thank you for being in our lives.” Xiao Yu took a deep breath and handed the rose in his hand to Shen Hanxing as his gaze fell onto her face. There was reluctance, attachment, and infatuation. He thought perhaps the best choice was for him to protect her silently. He would never be able to give Shen Hanxing the same attentiveness as Ji Yan and help to heal her wounds. Xiao Yu’s gaze softened. He smiled faintly and said, “I hope that in the future, you will be successful and overcome all the challenges you face.” This was the first bouquet of roses that he had given her, and it was very likely to be the last. Eighteen roses represented the age of eighteen, and it also meant that there would be one more person in their lives after this age.

“Hanxing, I hope you can fly higher and farther and live the life you want. You’ll be loved and adored, and you will s.h.i.+ne in this world.” Han Yin’s eyes were also red. She knew that from now on, Hanxing was about to officially start a new phase in her life. She handed over the gift and revealed a brilliant smile. “Happy 18th birthday, Hanxing. We will always love you.”

“Hanxing, please be happy.” Chu Feng’s tone was firm as he revealed a big smile at Shen Hanxing. “You have to live your life happily and with content.”

Shen Hanxing’s hands trembled as she received the roses and gifts. She tried to stifle her tears over and over again. However, a tear still slid down her cheeks. “Thank you. I also feel very happy to be able to grow up with you. You’ll always be my family.”

“Honey, don’t cry. You should be smiling.” Ji Yan wiped the tears from the corner of Shen Hanxing’s eyes with affection and said gently, “Don’t you want to see your coming-of-age gift, dear?”

Shen Hanxing raised her hand and opened the gift box. Inside was a bank card and a property t.i.tle.

“You’re now 18 years old, an adult. My wife is already slim and graceful; I hope she has her own little nest to shelter her from the wind and rain. I hope you won’t have to worry about money or trivial matters and live a happy life.” Ji Yan hugged Shen Hanxing tightly and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. “I love you, honey.”

Tears blurred the world in front of her eyes. Shen Hanxing covered her mouth. Material goods and money sounded tacky, but to an eighteen-year-old like her, such a gift was more than fitting and the one that warmed her heart the most. With money, she didn’t need to give up her dignity and kneel at the entrance of the Shen Family home. She didn’t need to beg for Shen Yong’s meager bit of charity. She didn’t need to cry her heart out at the entrance of the emergency room, afraid of losing her grandmother. She didn’t need to be lost in despair, facing the outside world filled with unease. She had a home of her own. She would always have a place to go and a place of her own. Shen Hanxing was so touched that she shed tears. These were tears of joy and also tears of happiness.

“President Ji, I hope that you will treat Hanxing well.” Xiao Yu’s gaze was filled with tenderness and affection. His gaze fell on Ji Yan; his tone was solemn. “If you let Hanxing suffer, I… we will definitely not forgive you.”

Ji Yan raised his black eyes and met Xiao Yu’s gaze. Sparks flew between the two men as if there were faint flashes of swords.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Xiao.” Ji Yan gave a distant smile and spoke very confidently. “My wife is my treasure. I will absolutely not allow her to suffer even the slightest bit of injustice.” He would protect her well so that not even the wind and rain would reach her.

“That best be the case.” Xiao Yu’s gaze was fierce. It was as if a sharp knife was hidden in his gaze as he looked at Ji Yan. “If you dare to let Hanxing down, I will definitely take her away. I will take her far away so that you will never be able to find her.”

“You won’t have the chance.” Ji Yan’s gaze suddenly turned sharp. His black eyes were filled with a domineering possessiveness as he looked coldly at Xiao Yu. Whenever he thought of the possibility of Shen Hanxing being taken away… he couldn’t help but feel a surge of killing intent in his heart. In this world, no one could separate him from his wife.

Under Ji Yan’s cold gaze, Xiao Yu’s face turned slightly pale. However, he didn’t give in at all. He stood his ground. Their gazes met in the air for a long time before they looked away under Han Yin’s and Chu Feng’s worried gazes, as if they had reached an agreement. Xiao Yu tugged his reins. The white horse beneath him slowed down and followed behind Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan at a distance.
