Chapter 380: Chapter 380: The Two Had a Falling Out
A formidable presence completely overpowered Ma Yiqing!
She felt humiliated to the point of death, her gazes at Ji Yebai were complex and unpredictable, flickering with a sly glint...
"Since Young Master Ji told me to get lost, I’ll get lost," she said, trying to fix her hair, looking disheveled. Yet, in her heart, an idea to scheme against Ji Yebai started to take shape...
Ji’s mother caressed Ning Xixi’s head affectionately, "Xixi, I’m sorry you had to endure this hardship."
Feeling like she was receiving an honor she didn’t deserve, Ning Xixi could sense that the Ji Family was genuinely kind to her. They protected her so fiercely in front of others, she was truly touched!
"Thank you, Auntie..." she said sincerely, expressing her gratitude.
Ji’s mother looked displeased, "You’re about to be engaged, and you’re still calling me Auntie? Didn’t I tell you to call me Mom?"
Ning Xixi was thoroughly confused, "Engaged?"
She had thought that Ji’s mother had casually mentioned it just to slap Ma Yiqing in the face, but seeing her seriousness, was the engagement really happening?
"Yes, you and Yebai aren’t of age to get married yet, but getting engaged is possible! After that, you’ll officially be part of the Ji Family!" This way, if they doted on Ning Xixi, no one else would have any reason to say otherwise!
Ning Xixi stole a glance at Ji Yebai, hesitating.
It seemed she had never considered what getting engaged to, marrying, and having children with Ji Yebai would be like.
It all felt too distant from her.
Although Ji Yebai wasn’t looking at her, he kept her in his side vision and, sensing her hesitant expression, his face darkened.
Did this girl not want to marry him?
He was in a bad mood, and naturally, his tone worsened, "Mom, I haven’t decided to marry her yet."
"Brat! What did you say!" Ji’s mother glared at him.
Hearing that, Ning Xixi’s cheeks puffed up in defiance, "I haven’t planned on marrying you either!"
"Then we won’t get engaged!" Ji Yebai said coolly with his arms crossed.
In any case, engaged or not, she was his person, Ji Yebai’s person!
When she came of age, he would completely have her, and potentially have a Xiaoxi or a Xiaobai, then see if this girl would marry him or not!
Ji’s father watched the squabbling couple with a meaningful look, tugged at Ji’s mother’s sleeve, and whispered, "They are having a little spat."
Ji’s mother felt helpless. She knew all too well how prideful Ji Yebai was and how oblivious Ning Xixi was to feelings. Deep down, they were just two kids!
"Youth comes with its frictions, let them solve it themselves. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings," Ji’s father said softly to his wife, then glanced at Ji Yebai, "Your wife, you should cajole her. If you can’t do it well, don’t bother coming back to the Ji Family."
Ji Yebai felt a surge of irritation. Was he even their real son?
With that, Ji’s father walked away arm in arm with Ji’s mother, leaving Ji Yebai and Ning Xixi at a standoff.
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!"
Both snorted in unison, turning their faces away, neither willing to yield.
Back in the hospital room, Ning Xixi hugged the blanket, reminding herself: Ning Xixi, you must endure! If you speak first, you lose!
"Miss Ning, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere today?" The gentle and kind head nurse came in for a checkup, followed by a young nurse.
Ning Xixi shook her head, "No."
After asking a few more questions, the head nurse reminded her, "The weather’s been dry recently, make sure to drink more warm water."
As she spoke, the young nurse behind her placed a kettle on the table, poured two cups of water, and her wrist subtly shook over one of the cups...
