Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 497 - 489: Fenfen, My Daughter (12)

She had already hurt him deeply, and she wouldn’t let anyone else use her to hurt him.

Ji Anning thought, looking down at the sleeping Fenfen, her gaze falling on her right eye with its thick, long eyelashes. What beautiful eyes.

She couldn’t resist gently sweeping Fenfen’s eyelashes with the pad of her thumb.

Then she looked up at Charles, "I want to take Fenfen to City J to clear her mind and simultaneously visit the hospitals there; the chances might be better."

Charles did not object, "I will arrange for someone to take you there."

"No need," Ji Anning shook her head. "I’ll take her myself; just one more person with us will suffice."

Charles nodded, "Okay, I will have someone tidy up the villa in City J for you to stay in."

The reason she wanted to take Fenfen to City J was to slowly break away from Charles. If they continued to stay in his place, they would still be under his invisible control.

But she couldn’t let Charles realize her intentions just yet.

After all, he had put so much effort into grooming her as his pawn. If he knew that she was thinking of leaving the Charles household, he certainly wouldn’t let her go easily.

Ji Anning thought for a moment, carefully choosing her words, "I won’t stay in City J for too long. I just want to take Fenfen around a bit and spend more time with her. Plus, the commercial I’m working on will be mostly shot tonight; I can let them handle the post-production."

After saying this, she gave Charles a slight smile.

Charles returned a helpless smile, "You know I have never forced you to do anything."

Indeed, besides Fenfen’s surname, he had indeed given her enough freedom over the last two years, from behind the scenes to the big screen.

Whatever she wanted to do, he had never interfered.

And the only thing she had done for him was occasionally accompany him to social events as his partner.

"Mr. Charles." She always addressed him as Mr. Charles, no matter the occasion. Looking at him earnestly, she said, "These last two years, if it weren’t for you, Fenfen and I would have been homeless."

Charles reached out and gently patted Ji Anning’s shoulder. "There’s no need to be formal with me; I am very happy to do anything for you and your daughter."

As he spoke, he glanced at the sleeping Fenfen and continued, "I have left Fenfen’s details at major hospitals worldwide; we should hear something soon."

"Thank you," Ji Anning nodded and expressed her thanks.

She pursed her lips and said no more, turning to direct her melancholic thoughts out the window.

Soon... but she couldn’t wait any longer, couldn’t wait to open another window to the soul for Fenfen, to let her better see this colorful world.

...

In the azure sky, dotted with white clouds, strands of golden morning light passed through the car window glass, illuminating the handsome face and white shirt of the man inside.

But they could not dispel the gloom and melancholy surrounding him.

The elderly man beside him occasionally glanced at him but seemed hesitant to speak, as if afraid to touch something delicate.

Looking ahead, the airport was getting closer, and Ji Zhengdao’s weathered face showed an impatient expression.

’Ding’

Suddenly, Ji Chicheng’s phone chimed with a message.

The old man’s gaze shifted nervously, and Ji Chicheng turned to look at him, his brow slightly furrowed, showing no emotion but making the old man feel uneasy.

The old man quickly averted his gaze.

Only then did Ji Chicheng look down at the message, from ’Qi Helian’: "Just arrived in City J, heading to City N the day after tomorrow. Ready to meet?"
