Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 429 - 423 Fair Competition (Part 5)

Ji Ruoqian pouted, "Of course it’s not normal, I heard Anning stayed in Jingfeng’s room last night, that’s called cohabitation before marriage."

The old master’s face darkened, and he turned his head to glare at Ji Ruoqian, asking sternly, "How many points do you plan to score in your final exams?"

Just then, an angry figure entered through the door.

"The Young Master is back."

Before the butler could even greet him, Ji Chicheng had already reached the sofa, stopping in front of Ji Ruoqian with a cold face, looking down at her from above, "What did you just say?"

"I..." Ji Ruoqian was frightened by Ji Chicheng’s appearance, her mouth agape, her lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence after a long while.

Of course, it was also because the old master was beside her, and she was deliberately acting weaker.

It was as if she was saying, "Uncle, please don’t bully me, I’m scared."

"Ruoqian, you go upstairs first."

The old master, with a stern face, glanced at Ji Chicheng, knowing the reason for his mood, and purposely sent Ji Ruoqian away.

"Alright."

Ji Ruoqian nodded, but before she could get up, Ji Chicheng’s steps headed towards the stairs ahead of her.

The old master’s brows were tightly furrowed, his face full of melancholy as he watched Ji Chicheng’s disappearing figure going upstairs.

Immediately after, a deafening knocking sound came from the second floor.

Upon opening Ji Anning’s room door, Ji Anning’s figure was nowhere to be seen; Ji Chicheng turned and furiously knocked on Ji Jingfeng’s room door.

It was Ji Jingfeng who opened the door, dressed in a silver-white silk pajama, one hand on the doorknob, the other covering a yawn, looking like she just woke up. Seeing Ji Chicheng’s angry face, a flicker of satisfaction crossed his eyes, and he feigned confusion, "What’s the matter so early in the morning?"

"Get out of the way." Ji Chicheng pushed Ji Jingfeng aside and barged into the room.

Ji Jingfeng, caught off guard, staggered several steps and ended up hitting the wall.

Ji Anning’s eyes widened in horror as she watched Ji Chicheng approaching her, shaking her head.

"Uncle, please don’t."

She stepped back until she was against the bed, with nowhere left to retreat.

The man’s sinister eyes stared at her like sharp swords, piercing her heart with pain as he drew closer with his chilling presence.

"Ji Anning, I’ve told you that I will give you anything you want!"

His originally slow pace suddenly quickened, and in a large stride, he was right in front of Ji Anning.

Ji Anning felt like she was suffocating, unable to face him, she turned around to open the window, and with a leap, one leg was already outside the window.

Not only Ji Chicheng, even Ji Jingfeng, who had closed the door and was watching the drama from the entrance, turned pale for a moment.

"I won’t force you," Ji Chicheng blurted out nervously.

His steps also came to a halt.

Ji Anning’s movements paused as well; Ji Chicheng’s nervous shout just now had shattered her heart, as if his voice broke, and with teary eyes, she turned to look at him.

Her eyes brimming with tears, she said nothing.

Ji Chicheng punched his thighs, with clenched fists, tiredness evident in his eyes, which now also had a hint of bloodshot red.

"But I won’t let go," he said as he coldly turned and walked away.

Ji Jingfeng, watching him leave, arrogantly lifted his chin, "Uncle, let me remind you, from now on, Anning is my woman. I hope you’re clear about your own status."

Ji Chicheng had not planned to even look at him, but upon hearing his words, he stopped in his tracks, and his fierce gaze swept over him, "Ji Jingfeng, if you dare to touch a single hair on her, I guarantee you will be carried out of the Ji Family," he threatened.
