Chapter 567 - 559: Face-to-Face Confrontation with Charles (Part 3)

Why was I so irrational today, getting riled up by just a few words from Charles.

Watching Ji Chicheng and Charles challenging each other with drink after drink, Ji Anning felt her opinions carried little weight, so she chose to take a back seat.

Attending to the little princess.

"Ji Anning, what’s the relationship between this Charles and that Charles?"

All of a sudden, Ji Mingyue approached Ji Anning with her phone, looking bewildered, and pointing to the screen of her chat history, she asked Ji Anning.

Ji Anning glanced over and saw it was a chat with Xiang Yiqing. She looked where Ji Mingyue was pointing and was taken aback by a familiar name.

Yue Sen. Charles.

She replied indifferently, "It’s the same person."

Upon hearing this, Ji Mingyue’s mouth formed an O, and her gaze towards Charles was filled with disbelief, "You... you mean he is that representative of Y country’s elite, the legendary Yue Sen. Charles who has a foothold in both the underworld and high society?"

Ji Anning nodded confidently, "Yes, he is Yue Sen. Charles."

Then, holding back her laughter, she watched the expressions change on Ji Mingyue’s face, who had been showing off so gleefully and ostentatiously just a moment ago.

Knowing her well, she must feel too embarrassed to stay here any longer, right?

"I have something to deal with, I’ll be leaving first."

Indeed, Ji Mingyue grabbed her bag, bid everyone farewell, and hurriedly left.

Ji Anning had been holding back, but finally, she couldn’t help it and burst into a muffled giggle.

Charles and Ji Chicheng were still drinking, three bottles of red wine had already been emptied. Ji Anning wanted to intervene several times but ended up holding back each time.

Ji Chicheng was clearly tipsy, but he still refused to admit defeat, continuing to keep pace with Charles.

She frowned, feeling very distressed.

After contemplating, she whispered in Fenfen’s ear, "Tell Daddy to stop drinking and let’s go home."

Fenfen obediently nodded, then swiftly got down and began climbing up on Ji Chicheng, her voice soft and childish as she said, "Daddy... let’s go home."

Ji Chicheng looked down at the little one climbing on him, his drunken eyes slightly curving into a smile. He put down his glass and picked up his little girl, affectionately pressing his lips against the corner of her mouth, "Fenfen is good, let Daddy give you a kiss."

That hazy smile was unspeakably enchanting, and just watching them stirred her heart with longing.

Ji Anning watched the man beside her with a captivated gaze, unable to extricate herself from his every smile and frown.

Completely uncontrollable.

"Kiss Daddy." Fenfen wrapped her arms around Ji Chicheng’s neck, kissing him energetically without showing any sign of distaste for the smell of alcohol on him.

Across the table, Charles rested his arms on the tabletop, his hands crossed and propping up his chin, his lips curving into a smile as he watched the affectionate scene between Ji Chicheng and Fenfen.

His deep blue eyes lingered on Ji Chicheng’s handsome face, also filled with a hint of infatuation.

As if he had just savored a sip of vintage wine, the aftertaste lingered on.

"Let’s go home."

Fenfen’s little hands cradled Ji Chicheng’s face, pouting her lips and planting another kiss on his alcohol-scented mouth.

Ji Anning frowned—hadn’t Fenfen had enough, "Fenfen, Daddy’s been drinking. Don’t kiss his mouth."

She didn’t know why those words had just slipped out.

Ji Chicheng’s gaze suddenly swept toward her. He leaned back lazily, his captivating eyes teasing, "Do you really find me repulsive?"

Ji Anning shook her head, "No... it’s not that."

Ji Chicheng curled his lips in satisfaction, then looked at Charles, "Mr. Charles, I think it’s time we left."
