Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 374 - 368: Going to Sleep Over a Disagreement (Part 22)

He grasped the doorknob and sneakily winked at Ji Anning standing opposite him, sending a flirtatious glance.

Ji Anning returned a polite, obligatory smile, her gaze barely lingering half a second on his roguish face before immediately looking at Qi Helian, "Then I’ll be going. I’ll send over the things you need once I have them ready."

Qi Helian nodded, "Hmm."

Watching Ji Anning walk away, Rong Feifan was finally willing to get in the car. As he buckled the seat belt, he gossiped, looking at Qi Helian, "Bro, what’s Anning supposed to give you?"

Qi Helian ignored him, started the car, and concentrated on making a U-turn on the two-lane road.

The more he kept silent, the more curious Rong Feifan became, leaning in and asking, "Do you like Anning too?"

Hearing that question, Qi Helian’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat. He turned his head, guiltily looking at Rong Feifan, "How can you tell I like her?"

"I’m just asking," Rong Feifan said with an air of it being self-evident: "After all, Anning is so beautiful and pure. For someone like you who’s always surrounded by vulgar makeup-wearing women, the moment you meet someone different, you’re bound to be moved, nine times out of ten."

He analyzed like a seasoned player in the game of love.

The words were clearly asking for trouble, yet he had little confidence to scold him. Qi Helian watched the road ahead, slightly lost in thought.

Rong Feifan suddenly reminded him by his ear, "Hey hey hey, brother, what are you daydreaming about, watch the road!"

Qi Helian snapped back to the present, the front of the car almost crashing into the bench by the roadside. He quickly steered away.

Feeling unexplainably irritated, he turned and commanded Rong Feifan, as if venting, "Shut your mouth. Don’t let me hear your voice again."

Rong Feifan reflexively pursed his lips tightly, afraid to look at Qi Helian’s almost livid face, and obediently turned to look out of the car window.

’For someone like you who’s always entangled with women in vulgar makeup, the moment you encounter someone different, you’re bound to be moved...’

Rong Feifan’s words echoed in his ears, Qi Helian’s thoughts were in disarray. He shook his head, pressed down hard on the accelerator, increased his speed, and wouldn’t let himself think about anything related to Ji Anning.

They were not people from the same world, besides, she was Ji Chicheng’s precious darling; he shouldn’t have any thoughts about her.

...

Ji Anning placed the envelope Yao Yiyang had given her on her computer desk and took a photo with her phone, sending it to Jin Yuanyuan.

"Yao ’School Hunk’ asked me to give this to you. When are you coming back?"

The message went unanswered for a long time; Jin Yuanyuan did not reply. She opened the drawer and placed the envelope inside.

She was curious about why Yao Yiyang seemed to know Jin Yuanyuan, but curiosity was of no use. No one could provide her with answers, and she couldn’t open someone else’s letter.

Ji Anning skipped class in the afternoon to go home and retrieve her identification. Fortunately, her residence registration book was separate from Yang Yufang’s, so it was easy to take out.

She stuffed her documents into her bag and hurried out. There was a bit of wind outside, which felt cool and biting on her skin, making her wrap her clothes tightly around her.

"Anning, you’re back."

Just as she arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, she encountered the old master’s car. Seeing her, the old man instructed the driver to stop the car, rolled down the window, poked his head out, and watched her with a warm smile.

Ji Anning replied, "I came back to get some things."

While speaking, she slipped the keys she had just used to open the drawer in her pocket into her pocket.
