Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Cold War 4
Only Ji Yebai knew very clearly, this fool had experienced a temporary blindness due to the car accident involving Ning’s mother, so she knew better than anyone how terrifying it is to be unable to see.
But it was she, so fragile, who actually had such courage.
Ji Yebai suddenly rushed towards the door, and Grandpa Ji asked loudly, "Where are you going?"
"...To take a walk!"
Grandpa Ji rolled his eyes, "Going for a walk at eleven o’clock at night? Do you think I’m a fool? Hmph, this stinky kid’s stubborn character, I don’t know who he inherited it from..."
The butler remained unfazed, recalling the glorious days when Grandpa Ji chased after Grandma Ji with such arrogance; he marveled inwardly: A family full of arrogance, how on earth did they all get wives?
...
"Mom, don’t go... Don’t!" Ning Xixi woke from a nightmare in a cold sweat, trembling nonstop as she held a cup.
Mom, don’t leave me alone...
She clenched the quilt, her eyes red and startling, yet she stubbornly refused to let herself shed a single tear.
She had promised Song Weiyang to live well, to live with a radiant smile, so she had to hold back...
Don’t cry... I can’t cry...
After taking a few deep breaths, she suppressed the surging emotions and was about to lie down to continue sleeping when she suddenly heard rustling noises!
The sound was coming from the balcony.
The balcony... it seemed to be without any protective netting...
Ning Xixi was jolted, cold sweat spreading down her back!
A stray cat? Or... a thief?
She picked up her phone intending to call the police, but the phone died due to low battery!
Ning Xixi was so frightened that her fingertips trembled. Remembering the news about burglars who ended up committing sexual assault, and even murder, her brain whirred into action.
Should she pretend to sleep? Or should she try to escape?
No, sitting and waiting for doom would only give the intruder an opportunity!
She went to the bathroom to grab a mop, using it as a weapon for self-defense, and rushed towards the door.
However, to escape, she needed to go through the living room, and the balcony was on the east side of the living room...
Just as Ning Xixi ran into the living room, a "bang" was heard from the balcony—it was the sound of the window being opened, followed by the leap of a tall figure.
With no stars or moon outside and only a dim orange night light on inside, Ning Xixi, who had night blindness, could not see the intruder’s face clearly. Suppressing the urge to scream, she desperately ran forward—
A pair of large hands suddenly grasped her collar! Her supposedly fast pace was easily caught up to by the other party!
"Dammit! Let go of me!" Ning Xixi’s spirit exploded, wielding the mop to hit the intruder!
To her surprise, she actually struck a hit! It was as if the other side had been enduring for a long time before finally lowering his voice and roaring, "Ning Xi, you pig! How dare you hit me, the young master?!"
Nani?
This voice...
This tone...
"Ji Yebai?" Ning Xixi called out uncertainly, which was answered by the man’s low grinding of teeth. He picked her up with one hand and identified the direction of the bedroom.
Walking briskly, he tossed the little girl onto the bed and immediately pressed his warm body upon her!
Click.
He turned on the light, and the room was instantly filled with bright light like daylight, revealing a handsome and rebellious face!
"Can’t recognize me? Huh?" Ji Yebai’s voice was low and menacing, his sharp gaze as if it could drill a hole through her; his well-defined hand lifted her delicate chin, "Take a good look at me! Who exactly am I?"
Ning Xixi could no longer hold back and burst out crying, "You... you scared me to death..."
