Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 478 - 470: A Kiss, One Million (Part 13)

"Chicheng!" the old master called out, his voice full of emotion as he watched Ji Chicheng’s retreating figure.

Ji Chicheng’s footsteps paused, but he did not turn around.

"Anning has started a new life and is living it wonderfully, can’t you let go?"

With a deeply furrowed brow, the old master’s expression was one of heartache; he had aged significantly over two years.

Once upright and robust, his body had now stooped so much that he needed to lean on something to stand up after sitting for a long time.

At the mention of ’Anning’, Ji Chicheng’s hands by his legs trembled slightly, he turned his head, eyebrows raised emotionlessly at the old master, "If you can let go, then why do you insist on not stepping aside for Ji Jingfeng? Why does it have to be me?"

The old master was left speechless by the question.

Withdrawing his gaze, Ji Chicheng too turned back around and continued walking towards the main entrance.

As his figure vanished from sight, all that was left in the old master’s eyes was desolation.

"Master, it’s time for your medicine."

With one hand holding medicine and the other a glass of water, Mrs. Wu approached the old master and interrupted his stream of thoughts.

"Is Chicheng going abroad again today?" the old master redirected his attention away from the doorway and asked Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu nodded, "Yes, he mentioned it during breakfast, said he won’t be back for a while and asked you to take care of your health."

Upon hearing this, the old master’s eyes dropped in sadness, murmuring, "He just came back for breakfast and now he’s leaving again."

His voice carried an inexpressible depth of vicissitudes.

With sincere concern, Mrs. Wu consoled him, "Master, young people have their own lives. Young Master has always been unrestrained; you should know to let go a bit and take good care of yourself."

While speaking, she sorted out the old master’s medicine, handing it to him one by one.

Taking care of all sorts of affairs over these two years, his health had suffered, and now he had to take several kinds of medicine every day.

He drank the water and finished his medicine in one go.

Ji Zhengdao set the empty glass on the coffee table, then glanced at the large clock in the living room, showing the date and time. He pondered for a moment, then instructed Mrs. Wu, "Arrange for someone to bring Yang Yufang back."

Mrs. Wu was surprised, "Master, do you mean to bring the second wife back?"

"Yes," the old master nodded, his eyes darkening for a moment before he added, "Jingfeng has graduated from university. It’s time to bring her back. Otherwise, he’ll always feel unbalanced."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu also nodded in agreement, "Yes, master, you’re right."

...

In the evening, the Capital City traffic was always congested. With a 7:30 flight and it already being 6 o’clock, still in the city, Ji Anning alternated between checking her watch and the road ahead.

Anxious as the blowing wind.

Just then, her mobile phone, placed to one side, suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID, quickly picked up the phone, and held it to her ear, "Make, how is it going? Is Fenfen emotionally stable now?"

A gentle female voice came from the other end of the line, "She’s stabilized now, she was just playing hide and seek with me, quite happily."

Ji Anning breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "My flight’s in an hour, I should be there by tomorrow noon."

After ending the call, the phone’s screen returned to the main display. Seeing the photo of the chubby-cheeked little girl with a sweet smile on the screen, the corners of Ji Anning’s mouth also rose involuntarily.

She reached out, gently touching the girl’s face in the photo, then lowered her head and gave a kiss, "My sweetheart."
