Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 436 - 430: From Now On, Strangers? (Part 1)

She turned around, and Ji Mingyue was studying a pregnancy test she had taken out of a cup. Although she hadn’t eaten pork before, she had seen pigs run; seeing the two lines, she of course knew it meant pregnancy.

"Auntie," said Ji Anning, her face ashen as she rushed over, snatched the pregnancy test from Ji Mingyue’s hand, and threw it back into the cup. Then she took the cup and dumped it into the trash.

"Hey, hey, hey, Ji Anning, what is this? Why are you so nervous?" Ji Mingyue looked at Ji Anning’s reaction, utterly puzzled.

Ji Anning smiled stiffly, denying it, "I’m not nervous."

"You clearly are nervous," Ji Mingyue rolled her eyes at Ji Anning, "If not nervous, then shy."

Ji Anning felt like calling her an ancestor.

Now what to do? If this loudspeaker of the Ji Family found out about it, probably within an hour, the entire family would know.

She was well aware that Ji Chicheng’s tolerance up to now was because he considered her feelings, but if he learned about the child, he probably would throw caution to the wind.

So now she had to find a way to shut Ji Mingyue up.

Ji Anning thought for a moment, then said to Ji Mingyue, "Auntie, let’s make a deal."

Ji Mingyue’s curiosity was piqued, "What deal?"

"You keep the pregnancy a secret for me, and I’ll accompany you on the arranged dates," Ji Anning said as she watched Ji Mingyue’s reaction. "I’ll be there for all the dates Grandpa arranged for you. If you find any of them disgusting, I can even go in your place."

"Why do you need to keep your pregnancy a secret?" Ji Mingyue frowned, not understanding Ji Anning’s point, ignoring the conditions Ji Anning offered in the latter part, focusing on what she said earlier.

Ji Anning answered, "I’m not married yet, I don’t want too many people to know."

Even though this reason sounded so forced she found it ridiculous herself, she really couldn’t think of any better justification.

If it worked, it would be a relief; if not, then she would think of another strategy.

Ji Mingyue indeed couldn’t grasp Ji Anning’s mindset, "But aren’t you and Jingfeng getting married in less than a month? We’re in a new era now; it’s not shameful to be pregnant before marriage."

Ji Anning really couldn’t come up with a better excuse, so she said, "Anyway, I want to announce it after the wedding."

She had thought Ji Mingyue would disagree with her and be eager to tell the family immediately.

To her surprise, Ji Mingyue suddenly had an inspired thought, "I get it, you want to give Jingfeng, give Grandpa a surprise."

Ji Anning’s lips twitched slightly, and she nodded stiffly with a smile, "Yes, that’s right."

Was this the so-called ’blossoms won’t bloom when intended, but the willows grow into the shade when unplanted’?

Ji Anning felt like she was becoming an expert liar; ever since she got involved with the ’demon,’ she kept seeking thrills among lies.

But this time, she truly needed time to think, time to make a decision.

Ji Mingyue didn’t immediately agree to help Ji Anning keep the secret. She had her condition, "Then you go with me to the arranged dates, and when we get back home you tell Grandpa that the date was horribly ugly, extremely lecherous, staring at women’s ****."

Ji Anning: "..."

Although speechless, they were making a deal, and she had no other choice but to nod in agreement, "Hmm, I will do everything exactly as Auntie says."
