Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Cold War 2
The little girl lost her temper, and the two men, as if ignited by dynamite, instantly calmed down.
"Gong Xiu, I have not acknowledged you as my brother, so please, don’t act like one towards me!"
"I’m doing this for your own good..."
"Your ’for your own good’ is not what I want!" Ning Xixi shook off his hand, "Sorry, I will make my own decisions about my matters."
Ji Yebai’s lips curled up, half-asleep as he watched his little wife puff up in anger.
However, Ning Xixi’s next words made his expression darken.
"I will move out of the Ji Family."
Damn it! Does this bratty girl know what she’s saying?
"Really?" Surprise sparkled in Gong Xiu’s glossy peach eyes, "I’ll take you home then."
"But, I don’t plan on going back to the Ning Family either."
In an instant, Gong Xiu let out an "Eh," staring at Ning Xixi in astonishment.
"I will find a place to live by myself. No need for you guys to worry!" After Ning Xixi said this decisively, she felt a chilling coldness emanating from beside her...
Nervously turning her little head, she met Ji Yebai’s ice-covered handsome face, and she silently cried out: I’m done for!
...
Ji Family.
Nervously, Ning Xixi tiptoed, following Ji Yebai step by step.
He kicked open the bedroom door, loosened his tie, his eyes somber, radiating an aura of "keep away from me".
Ning Xixi had anticipated that Ji Yebai would get angry when she said she wanted to move out, but she didn’t expect it to be this terrifying!
"Ji Yebai... I didn’t mean anything else, and it’s not that I find anything wrong with you or Grandfather Ji’s treatment towards me. But, my staying at your house like this... it’s really not proper... so I..."
"So you want to move out?" Ji Yebai cut her off bluntly, "Ning Xixi, I said I would take care of it!"
He absolutely did not want Ning Xixi to move out. He just didn’t want her to!
Ning Xixi helplessly fiddled with the hem of her clothes.
Some words are destined to be difficult to say.
She no longer had a home, and there was no one she could confide her fears to.
She dared not depend too much on Ji Yebai because she knew too well the taste of loss.
She lacked a sense of security, yet he was unaware.
"I just... don’t want to bother you anymore." She mustered the courage to say.
Ji Yebai’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his chest heaved, and his hands hanging by his sides were now clenched into fists.
Did this damned woman not know how hurtful her words were?
Did "not wanting to bother" mean she intended to draw a clear line with him?
The pent-up frustration in his chest exploded, "If you’re leaving, then go quickly. Don’t linger in my sight!"
He rudely pushed Ning Xixi aside and strode toward the door.
A loud ’bang’ echoed as he slammed the door forcefully.
Ning Xixi, at a loss, tried to chase after him but stopped in her tracks by the door.
This scene... it was just like that day...
Back then, Ji Yebai had pointed at her nose and told her to get lost; was this a repeat of history?
Her exquisite little face was pale, her fan-like lashes trembling non-stop, she sniffed, and started silently packing her luggage.
Unknowingly, when starting to pack, she was shocked to find that she had accumulated so many things in the Ji Family...
At the staircase, Ji Yebai paced back and forth several times, not seeing Ning Xixi come out, he became so frustrated that he returned to the bedroom.
Just then, he bumped into Ning Xixi who was pulling her suitcase.
Instantly, he heard his voice grinding through teeth, "If you leave, don’t come back!"
