Chapter 622: Chapter 622: Say It Again If You Dare
Ning Xixi shrank into the covers with a look of grievous injustice, biting the quilt corner pitifully.
"You still feel wronged? You went missing and almost worried me to death, do you know that!" Ji Yebai scolded her with a stern face for a long time.
Unable to help herself, Ning Xixi poked her head out, "I didn’t ask you to worry! You worried on your own!"
Besides, where did she ever go missing? She clearly had explained things to Miaomiao!
Ji Yebai’s eyes narrowed dangerously, "If you dare, say that again!"
Such a carefree brat!
Ning Xixi was wise enough not to talk back to Ji Yebai and capitulated, "I don’t dare..."
Ji Yebai was actually amused by her and laughed, "Since that’s the case, you better obediently listen to your master! It’s so dangerous for a girl like you to be running around outside. Jojo the fool may protect you, but can he watch over you when you go to the toilet? Maybe while you’re at it, a trafficker will abduct you! I’m telling you..."
Listening to Ji Yebai’s endless nagging, which was like Monk Tang’s recitations, Ning Xixi felt like her ears were forming calluses.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts..."
She whimpered, and Ji Yebai’s expression changed, "Does it still hurt? Come on, have another glass of brown sugar water."
Ning Xixi mentally praised herself for successfully diverting the topic.
Ji Yebai anxiously watched over Ning Xixi until she fell asleep peacefully, only then did he feel relieved.
He stood up, walked to the balcony, and expertly lit up a cigarette.
Sliding open his phone, the email that was like a nightmare popped up before his eyes.
The content of the email was the investigation results from Ji Yao.
Ning Jingshen went for a paternity test.
The result showed Ning Xixi was not his biological child...
And after further investigation, Ji Yao found out Song Weiyang had indeed lived together with Ji Qing before the marriage...
Now with Song Weiyang deceased, without any proof of her side of the story, and Ji Qing nowhere to be found, the truth of the matter was unverifiable.
If Ning Xixi truly was Ji Qing’s child, Ji Yebai dared not think further...
Ji Family, due to their ancestral special bloodline, had established a family rule: no marriage within the same clan.
Once, a young couple from the family tree defied societal norms and married. Their several children were either mentally deficient or physically disabled...
It was then the Ji Family realized the severity of the matter.
Same clan, meaning close blood relations, and incestuous marriage itself is taboo.
Especially for a family with a special bloodline like the Ji Family.
Erxi adored children so much, but if the child that they were to have was also... The cigarette ash fell onto his fingertips, burning hot, yet Ji Yebai appeared numb to it, staring blankly into the night sky.
Unaware, more cigarette butts accumulated on the ground, the sky began to lighten, and dawn’s faint glow spread gradually until the sunrise cast down beams of golden light, the morning glow covered the earth with ripples of spreading colors.
Ji Yebai stood half in the sunlight, the other half still in shadow...
He put out the cigarette fiercely and cursed under his breath.
The immediate priorities were, first, to find Ji Qing and verify the facts! And second... to keep this matter from Erxi, from everyone, especially... the Ji Family.
"Dabai..." Ning Xixi’s drowsy voice came from behind, and Ji Yebai turned around.
Ning Xixi walked towards him barefoot, rubbing her eyes.
Just at that moment, sunlight suddenly flooded the entire room, coating her in a gentle, pale golden light.
She walked towards him step by step, as if bringing redemption, as well as sin—
Should he push her away? Or... embrace her into his arms?
