Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 382 - 376: The Little Boat of Friendship (Part Five)

This wasn’t the point, the point was that the voice sounded very familiar... very familiar.

It came from directly in front of them, she instinctively looked up, and a familiar face came into view.

Her face turned instantly pale.

That familiar figure gradually approached, Ji Anning snapped out of her daze, stepped back, and tried to turn around, but Ji Chicheng tightened his grip on her hand.

"Uncle," she looked at him with pleading eyes.

But he didn’t look at her, holding her hand firmly, his mind seemingly made up, Ji Anning shook her head, "No... don’t."

"Lisa."

The familiar voice was very close, Ji Anning knew she couldn’t hide anymore, she looked up and met Yang Danning’s gaze.

She was wearing a red and white striped dress with a white thin fur shawl over it, flamboyant yet dignified, from top to bottom, even the sound of her footsteps was filled with confidence.

Upon seeing Ji Anning and Ji Chicheng, her footsteps halted abruptly, her gaze slowly shifting from their faces to their hands clasped together.

"Dan..."

Ji Anning wanted to step forward, but Ji Chicheng forcefully pulled her back to his side, and this time he wrapped his arms around her waist.

This made it even more obvious.

Yang Danning watched, her body trembling, she lifted her head and coldly arched an eyebrow at Ji Anning, "Ji Anning? Aren’t you going to explain?"

Standing beside her, Lisa, not understanding, looked at Ji Anning, then at Yang Danning, and asked curiously, "Do you two know each other?"

"Yes, we know each other," Yang Danning nodded, "And very well at that."

Suddenly gritting her teeth, she lifted a glass of wine in her hand and threw it at Ji Anning.

Ji Anning did not dodge, intending to take the hit, but the man by her side quickly stepped in front of her, shielding her firmly.

The cup of wine in Yang Danning’s hand was all splashed onto Ji Chicheng’s chest, the red liquid instantly staining the collar of his white shirt, and even his chin got splashed, the drops dribbling down.

Not only Ji Anning, even Qi Helian was shocked, "Chicheng."

"Uncle," Ji Anning cried out in fright, instinctively reaching out to wipe the wine from Ji Chicheng’s chin.

Thinking of Yang Danning, her hand trembled slightly, and she quickly withdrew it, her gaze returning to Yang Danning, "Danning, I..."

She opened her mouth wanting to explain, but didn’t know how to.

She had fallen in love with the person she had loved since childhood, that was a fact, she was with the person she loved, that was also a fact.

She was at a loss for words.

Seeing her hesitate and then bow her head, as if she didn’t even want to explain, Yang Danning lost control of her emotions and bellowed, "Ji Anning, what about you? Aren’t you going to give me an explanation, you and this man by your side, are you just simply uncle and niece-in-law?"

Ji Anning shook her head lightly, "No."

She didn’t make many arguments for herself but just bowed her head, with an apologetic demeanor.

Yang Danning’s eyes reddened, "Ji Anning, so you have been playing me all along, spinning me around in circles."

"I haven’t," Ji Anning shook her head and looked up.

But after saying it, she regretted it, she was in a rage, how could she believe her words.

Right now, she should only believe what she thinks and suspects in her heart.

Yang Danning’s bellowing attracted many people’s attention, suddenly the hall quieted down, Ji Anning frightened, hid behind Ji Chicheng.
