Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 364 - 358: Falling Asleep After a Disagreement (Part 12)

Suddenly, Ji Anning’s phone rang again, this time with an incoming call. Anxious, she reached into her pocket, touched the screen, and tried to hang up the call.

Just then, the puzzled voice of Yang Yufang reached her ears, "Anning, how come your phone has a signal?"

"Huh?" Ji Anning was also puzzled, and she asked in return, "Isn’t there any signal on the island?"

She pulled out her phone, turned her back, and glanced at the screen. The call that had just come in was indeed from Ji Chicheng, and now it had disconnected.

But on the screen was a string of messages, WeChat texts, missed calls, and even news push notifications... The signal bars were full, although it was only 3G.

How could there be no signal then?

"Only landlines can make calls from here," Yang Yufang said, her voice filled with confusion as she leaned in to look at Anning’s phone screen.

With a sensitive reaction, Ji Anning immediately locked her phone screen, then turned and gave Yang Yufang a slight smile, "Maybe the signal has gotten better."

As she spoke, she quickly reached out again to hook Yang Yufang’s arm, dragging her to continue upstairs, "Let’s go upstairs to rest, I’ll tell you a bedtime story in a bit."

Successfully diverting Yang Yufang’s attention, she looked at Anning with a frown and an air of annoyance, "You’re treating me like a child, aren’t you?"

Although she said this, a happy and joyous smile was already uncontrollable on her face, she raised her other hand to affectionately hold Ji Anning’s hand.

With a tilt of her head, Ji Anning snuggled into her shoulder, acting coquettishly, "When I was young, you used to tell me stories all the time, now it’s my turn to tell them to you."

"Anning, Mom hasn’t given you enough," Yang Yufang suddenly began to blame herself, patting the back of Ji Anning’s hand with a tone of self-reproach and deep melancholy, "In the future, when you and Jingfeng... when you have children, Mom will definitely love them dearly."

As she spoke, her eyes moistened again.

Her words nearly made Ji Anning let slip the thoughts that had been brewing inside her, but at the last moment, she still lacked the courage. She changed her words, "Mom, no matter what happens in the future, you will always be my mom, okay?"

Reunited for just one day, she realized that she still depended on her so much and really longed for her support.

Setting aside the guilt in her heart, Ji Anning felt that this reunion with Yang Yufang was even more thrilling and joyous than the last reunion with her biological parents, filled with reluctance and attachment.

Perhaps it was because the time spent with her biological parents was far too short, really far too short.

Yang Yufang was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously with excitement, "Okay, okay!"

She didn’t think too much, tightly holding onto Ji Anning’s hand as if she had become several times more spirited.

Ji Anning watched her with a complex gaze, her lips curling into a complicated smile.

...

After taking Yang Yufang back to her room, Ji Anning immediately returned to her own room, closed the door to prevent Ji Jingfeng from suddenly coming to find trouble with her like he did at dinner, and she locked it.

She tugged at it, making sure it was locked, and then she felt at ease.

She took out her phone, and while looking at it, she walked to the bed.

In that short time, Ji Chicheng had sent many WeChat messages, scaring her to death. She frowned, feeling like exploding with anger, and clicked on WeChat, curious to see what important matter Ji Chicheng had to contact her about.

But when she checked WeChat, flipping from top to bottom, she found they were all damn emojis.

They were all part of the same series of emojis, which she didn’t study in detail.

She just felt very annoyed, "Uncle, are you being annoying or what, why are you sending me so many emojis?"
