Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 381 - 375: The Little Boat of Friendship (Part Four)

Ji Anning was dazed, thinking that the two of them had been together just now, and nothing had happened.

Why would he suddenly ask that question? She looked into Ji Chicheng’s dark eyes, which were deep and complex, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

Ji Chicheng didn’t answer her rhetorical question and just kept looking at her, making Ji Anning’s heart race. She said, "You hold a very important place in my heart."

Fearful that Ji Chicheng wouldn’t believe her, she pointed to her chest, "Here, the most important place, no one is more important than you."

Ji Chicheng’s brows relaxed instantly. He didn’t speak but grabbed Ji Anning’s hand that had pointed at her heart and led her into the banquet hall.

Upon entering, Ji Anning’s gaze swept around the luxurious hall like radar. She actually saw several familiar faces.

They were all major stars who were often seen at international events from their country.

And there was the very familiar Qi Helian.

Dressed in noble blue, with a white shirt beneath, he was surrounded by three slim, attractive women, chatting about something, his devilishly handsome face always smiling.

Standing there, he seemed exceptional among the crowd, radiating a distinguished and compelling aura.

Every gesture and every smile was filled with charm.

Ji Anning couldn’t help guessing what this event was and started to worry whether they might encounter someone who knew her and Ji Chicheng.

Ji Chicheng led her towards Qi Helian. As they approached, Qi Helian also noticed them and said, "The young master has arrived."

He raised his hand to Ji Chicheng and gave the several beautiful women around him a slight nod. Then, he stepped forward to meet Ji Chicheng and Ji Anning.

The women’s gazes followed Qi Helian’s movement and landed on Ji Chicheng and Ji Anning.

One of them, a blonde in an ivory strapless dress and bright blue eyes, lit up with surprise, "Mr. Ji."

She fixed her gaze on Ji Chicheng, her face breaking into a generous smile.

Ji Chicheng courteously nodded at her, his handsome face still wearing its usual indifference.

Meeting an acquaintance of his uncle here, and a foreign beauty at that, Ji Anning couldn’t help but take a few extra glances at her. Nothing else about her was as striking as her chest.

It was almost half revealed and so large, squeezed together.

How could her thinking be so liberal?

Just as Ji Anning was silently criticizing how much the other woman was exposing, she elegantly started walking towards them.

"To run into Mr. Ji here is such a surprise."

The blonde approached Ji Chicheng, tilted her chin up slightly, and audaciously admired him while still maintaining an air of nobility and elegance.

Ji Chicheng’s lips curled slightly, and he replied softly, "I’m pleased to see Miss Lisa again."

Lisa smiled, her gaze not lingering on Ji Chicheng much longer. She shifted her attention to Ji Anning, gave her a look, and sincerely complimented, "What a beautiful girl."

"Thank you," Ji Chicheng said without any false modesty and then, wrapping his arm tightly around Ji Anning’s shoulders, introduced her to Lisa, "The person I love."

At that, Lisa could not help but take another look at Ji Anning, then she shrugged and smiled, "Now I finally understand."

Now finally understand? What does that mean?

"Lisa."

As Ji Anning was pondering what Lisa meant by ’now finally understanding’ that comment about Ji Chicheng, suddenly someone called out to Lisa.
