Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 543 - 535: Jealousy (Fourteen)

He entered, his gaze indifferently sweeping past Ji Anning and settling on Fenfen, smilingly asking her, "Fenfen, where is auntie?"

"Gone!" Fenfen pouted, looking somewhat upset.

Watching the little girl’s disappointed expression, Ji Chicheng reached out, affectionately ruffled her hair, and said, "I’ll take you to see auntie tomorrow."

Fenfen nodded happily, "Okay."

Have to see her tomorrow... and it seems he’s quite interested in that Korean lady too, looks like their relationship is really complex.

Ji Anning lowered her eyes and thought quietly, not in the mood to pay attention to the interaction between father and daughter that followed.

Thus, she failed to notice that Ji Chicheng’s gaze was firmly fixed on her face all along.

Fenfen had been at the hospital for an afternoon, and Ji Chicheng had waited here as well, with his laptop in his arms the whole time.

He was never idle for a moment anyway.

"Mr. Ji, the food is ready; it’s in the thermal container. You and Fenfen can just take it out and eat after you get back,"

said the auntie as she arrived, with evening approaching. She was carrying a thermal container in one hand and Ji Anning’s change of clothes in the other. Upon entering, she greeted Ji Chicheng.

Hearing this, Ji Chicheng closed his laptop, packed it up, then stood up, his gaze turning to Fenfen, who was playing Candy Crush with Ji Anning, "Fenfen, let’s go."

He called out.

His phone, which he had just slipped into his pocket, rang again. He pulled it out to look at the caller ID, then put it to his ear to answer the call.

Ji Anning had just heard the ringtone of Ji Chicheng’s phone and looked at him warily.

She didn’t know who was calling him, but saw him glance at his watch before finally speaking, "Buy one for tomorrow noon."

During the call, Ji Chicheng said only that one line.

After hanging up, he left with Fenfen.

After dinner, Ji Anning lay in bed, but couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.

She knew she shouldn’t think about it, she truly didn’t want to think about it, but she couldn’t control herself.

She put on her earplugs again and listened over and over to Zhou Xun’s song "Endless Love."

Even if we don’t meet again, we’ll reunite, the face neither fully familiar nor completely strange... Give me ten thousand years, a year, two, it doesn’t matter... Some love, you can’t escape the vast network...

Give me ten thousand years, ten million years, to comprehend rights and wrongs... Your arrival, I’m still unable to soar even with wings...

Your arrival, I’m still unable to soar even with wings!

But how can she not fly?

There’s such an insurmountable wall between them, so even if her wings can’t fly away, she should still crawl away from him, shouldn’t she?

The next day.

When the auntie came back to the hospital after making breakfast at home, she brought Fenfen with her, explaining that Ji Chicheng had gone on a business trip.

Since Fenfen didn’t want strangers around at night, she could only stay in the hospital for a few days.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Chicheng had been on his business trip for three days. Ji Anning and Fenfen were bored at the hospital, so she applied for discharge.

Chisen, the doctor, had suggested that she stay for a longer time if she had the opportunity, but she insisted on being discharged.

In fact, there wasn’t much of a problem; the X-rays showed that she was almost healed, and she just needed to take care of herself and rest.

At first, after returning home, Ji Anning obediently lay in bed, but later, she couldn’t bear lying around any longer and would sneak off the bed and walk around when the auntie wasn’t looking.

After lunch, she stealthily made it to the balcony and cautiously stretched her body.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She turned her head to look, then walked over to answer the call; the caller ID read ’Director Beck.’ Picking up the phone, she answered, "Hello, Director Beck."
