Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 549 - 541: Jealousy (Twenty)

He didn’t know if it was water in his nose or something else, but Ji Chicheng’s voice was nasal.

Anning felt an extraordinary pain in her heart as she listened. She held his head with both hands, spread her fingers, and inserted them into his thick hair, sniffing as she said, "I’m already so bad, my heart is so hurt, what more do you want me to do?"

There was a tone of helplessness in her voice, mixed with a complaint.

After she had spoken, she was the first to break down, bowing her head, covering her mouth with one hand, as tears fell one after the other.

She took a breath, and her whole body trembled.

"So, I am causing you so much pain."

Ji Chicheng suddenly looked up, gazing at the weeping Anning, and smiled a self-mocking smile.

It was extremely cold.

After mocking himself, he pressed his hands against the edge of the bathtub and slowly climbed out, stepped out of the bathtub, and dragged his wet body, staggering toward the exit of the bathroom.

His silhouette looked so desolate and lonely.

Anning choked up, the word ’uncle’ stuck in her throat, unable to be voiced out. As she watched Ji Chicheng leave the bathroom and disappear from her sight, she broke down once again, leaning on the edge of the bathtub, and began to weep loudly.

The next day, Anning did not see Ji Chicheng.

The third day, Anning still did not see Ji Chicheng.

The fourth day... the fifth day...

Qi Helian finally arrived in M Country. It was also Anning’s last day of shooting, an exterior scene, at a famous seaside park in N City.

The sunlight was beautiful today. She wore a white dress and a stylish beach sun hat, standing by the sea, her skirt fluttering in the sea breeze.

Several camera lenses were trained on her as she gazed into the distance over the sea. There was a touch of melancholy and sadness between her brows, just right.

Director Beck hardly had to make an effort with her expression.

After finishing the shoot in one outfit, Anning felt a bit tired. She sat on a chair, took the water her assistant handed her, took a sip, and smiled as she looked in the direction where she had just been photographed.

A noble and enchanting man, dressed in a smoke grey checkered suit, the checkered lines in several colors, fashionable yet elegant.

In front of the camera, he changed poses now and then, stealing moments to make faces at Anning.

"Sister Nian, we’ll be wrapping up soon. Are you going to pick up Fenfen?"

The assistant packed up the things, walked over to Anning, and asked in a low voice.

Anning nodded, "Yes, I promised to take her to the amusement park. It’s perfect since Mr. Qi is here too, we can all have dinner together."

As she spoke, she glanced over at Qi Helian, where Beck was communicating with him.

Seeing Director Beck, she suddenly thought of Ji Chicheng. She was going out to eat; should she also give him a heads up?

It had been almost a week since that night, without a single message from him. Normally when he traveled for work, he would still video call Fenfen every night, but these past few days, he had completely disappeared.

Thinking this, Anning picked up her bag from beside her, rummaged for her phone, entered Ji Chicheng’s number, hesitated, and hesitated, before finally making the call.

Upon hearing the dial tone, her heart suddenly tightened, rising to her throat.

But no one answered.

This was the second call she made to him since their reunion two years ago, and he hadn’t answered either of them.

Anning felt somewhat downhearted, pursing her lips and lowering her eyelids, holding the phone in her hands for a long time before putting it away.

"Sister Nian, the car has arrived. Why don’t you go and greet the director first?"
