Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 552 - 544: Thawing Relations (Part 3)

He looked like he had just come out of a bath, but he had obviously been downstairs just a moment ago. How had he managed to not only return to his room and take off his clothes but also finish bathing?

Could it be that he really knew some sort of cloning technique?

Facing such a scene, the greatest reaction was still embarrassment. In the face of Ji Chicheng’s piercing cold gaze, Ji Anning stammered an explanation, "I... I knocked on the door just now, and when there was no response, I thought you weren’t in the room."

She pointed at the door, asserting her case with conviction.

But it did not change the fact that it was a lie. Her face grew redder and redder, and, nervous and embarrassed, she forgot to look away, her eyes fixed on Ji Chicheng’s handsome face covered with water droplets, every pore filled with allure.

She swallowed, then continued to explain her purpose for being there, "I came to find some clothes for Fenfen to wear out."

With that realization, she looked away, lowered her head, walked to the wardrobe beside Ji Chicheng, and pulled open the right door of the cabinet.

She casually picked out a set of clothes for Fenfen and hurriedly closed the cabinet door.

She dared not lift her head.

As she prepared to leave the room, Ji Chicheng suddenly stepped forward, and Ji Anning, completely unprepared, bumped into him.

She stepped back and looked up at Ji Chicheng with dissatisfaction.

Ji Chicheng wasn’t even looking at her, he lifted his hand, picked out a shirt from the cabinet, casually slipped it on, then took a pair of underwear out of a drawer.

He bent down, ready to put them on.

Seeing this, Ji Anning hurriedly called a halt, "Uncle, wait a moment."

Ji Chicheng paused, and taking advantage of the moment, Ji Anning dashed out, fleeing from Ji Chicheng’s room. She leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.

Her face was so hot, she could practically cook an egg on it.

It was downright bizarre; he had clearly been downstairs just before, so how had he managed that so quickly?

After calming her wildly thumping heart, Ji Anning returned to her room, quickly helped Fenfen change into her clothes, and then took her out.

When they left the house, Ji Anning saw Korea sitting in her red BMW, seemingly waiting for Ji Chicheng. She paid her no mind and walked straight past her.

The dinner was to entertain guests, and considering it was for two highly distinguished individuals, naturally, the restaurant had to be upscale.

A famous western restaurant in N city was chosen, and Ji Anning had asked her assistant to reserve a seat the night before.

There were no private rooms; everyone was seated in the main hall. However, the layout for their seats was particularly luxurious, with a considerable distance between each dining table so that people at the same table conversing in a normal voice could not be overheard by others.

Qi Helian held onto Fenfen the whole time, giving her whatever she wanted.

The little girl was by no means polite with him, and to Ji Chicheng’s further headache, she was still calling Qi Helian ’Daddy’, a term she had not been able to shake off since meeting him.

"Give me a kiss."

Fenfen demanded another spoonful of cream from Qi Helian, and Qi Helian humored her with a kiss as a reward.

"Hi, Mr. Qi."

Suddenly, a man and woman from M country approached their table and greeted Qi Helian.

Initially, Qi Helian hadn’t noticed the couple. He looked up, recognized them as acquaintances, and greeted them with a smile.

Ji Anning had some recollection of these two faces; they were also celebrities, but she couldn’t immediately remember what movies they had been in.

Out of politeness, she also gave them a slight smile and a nod, then lowered her head to continue eating her meal.
