Chapter 421 - 415: We Are All Adults, Why Can’t We Take It? (Part 4)

He forcefully dragged Ji Anning to the door of Ji Chicheng’s room.

"Let go!" Ji Anning struggled, but her strength was no match for his.

As she struggled, Ji Jingfeng had already started knocking on Ji Chicheng’s door.

From inside, the familiar sound of footsteps came, one after another, as if stepping on Ji Anning’s heart. She clenched her gloved hand, the other hand that Ji Jingfeng was holding instinctively pulled back.

But Ji Jingfeng didn’t allow her to succeed, deliberately keeping it in plain sight.

The door opened.

She wasn’t sure if it was psychological, but it seemed as if his distinctive, light scent of cologne drifted past her nose, tantalizing her, making her heart tremble lightly. She dared not lift her head, dared not glance at him.

That face of his had already become something she couldn’t extricate herself from in her mind.

How could she dare to look?

"Uncle, grandfather is asking us to come downstairs for dinner," Ji Jingfeng deliberately raised Ji Anning’s hand a bit higher, as if afraid Ji Jingfeng couldn’t see it.

He smugly hooked one corner of his lips, clearly exhibiting the demeanor of a victor.

"Let go," Ji Chicheng said coldly, commanding Ji Jingfeng.

Even though Ji Jingfeng felt he was bound to win now, he still couldn’t directly face Ji Chicheng’s formidable aura that seemed inherent to his being.

Like a sovereign leader.

His gaze involuntarily trembled, a trace of fear flashed across his face, but his hand still stubbornly gripped Ji Anning’s tightly.

He tried to appear calm as he looked at Ji Chicheng, "Uncle, what do you mean by this? The marriage between Anning and me is already settled. Even if I share a bed with her now, it would be within reason."

As he spoke, he released Ji Anning’s hand, simply wrapping his arm around her waist.

"Ji Jingfeng, I told you to let go." Ji Chicheng reached out, grabbed Ji Jingfeng’s collar, and suddenly pushed him against the wall opposite, nearly lifting him off his feet, his eyes furiously glaring at him as he warned, "If I see you touch her again, I will make sure you have no place to stand in the Ji Family."

His fury erupted without restraint.

Ji Anning was terrified, her eyes wide with shock as she looked at Ji Chicheng’s trembling back, "Unc-..."

She opened her mouth, almost letting a familiar address slip, but then she looked at Ji Jingfeng, "Jingfeng, this family will soon be yours to command. If people see you being treated like someone with no real power at home..."

She couldn’t finish her ruthless words, for Ji Chicheng suddenly turned, his piercing gaze sweeping towards her.

Her voice was uncontrollably halted by his stare, after adjusting herself, she suppressed her trembling heart, arrogantly tilted her chin up at Ji Chicheng, and coldly smiled, "Uncle, you still don’t know how to respect others, selfish and arrogant. Don’t forget, Jingfeng is the one who will be the true master of this house, and you will at most continue to be nominal with your little shares."

With almost every word, her heart seemed to bleed the first drop of blood.

It hurt so much she was nearly suffocating.

"Ji Anning."

Barely had Ji Anning finished speaking, before Ji Chicheng could react, suddenly, from the direction of the stairs came Ji Mingyue’s furious shouting towards her.

Ji Mingyue charged furiously to Ji Anning’s side, unstoppable.

"Slap!"

Before anyone could react, a slap landed fiercely on Ji Anning’s left cheek.

At that moment, everyone involuntarily held their breath, the atmosphere weirdly tense.

Ji Anning was slapped by Ji Mingyue, stars bursting before her eyes.
