Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 582 - 574: His Warmth (Seven)

"Fenfen."

Ji Anning was admiring one thing after another, dazzled, when suddenly a familiar woman’s voice came from ahead, and she was startled.

Looking over, she saw the tall woman with a slight smile walking towards them, Korea.

She was dressed in a red V-neck undershirt and tight black leather pants, striding with confidence and ease.

Ji Anning had always thought that Ji Chicheng was dating Korea, but seeing her at Ji Chicheng’s company so late, she couldn’t help feeling so upset she wanted to cry.

She wanted to turn around and leave.

However, Fenfen by her side happily ran to greet Korea. Kids her size are fond of whoever treats them well.

She ran up to Korea, her arms open wide, asking for a hug.

Korea bent down and picked her up, kissing her forehead, "I haven’t seen Fenfen for several days. Auntie has missed Fenfen."

After teasing Fenfen, Korea turned her gaze to Ji Anning, smiling politely, "Miss Niannian."

That was the name on Ji Anning’s current passport, the name she used in the entertainment industry.

Ji Anning reluctantly mustered a smile, "Miss Korea."

They were now in the employee office. She glanced around, and although all the lights were on, she saw no one else.

"Hello," Korea began again, "Mr. Ji has a pretty severe cold. He just took some cold medicine and has fallen asleep at his desk."

Upon hearing this, Ji Anning felt her heart clench tighter and tighter, but her smile remained unchanged as she replied faintly, "It’s fine. Fenfen insisted on coming to see daddy, so I brought her over."

She didn’t want to look at Korea’s confident, superior expression anymore, so she bent down to negotiate with Fenfen, "Fenfen, daddy is sleeping, and he has to work later. Shall we go home first?"

"Daddy." Fenfen was adamant about finding daddy.

Ji Anning frowned slightly, "Daddy is busy. When you wake up tomorrow morning, you’ll see daddy."

As she spoke, she bent down and picked up Fenfen.

The bag with the insulated jar got caught on her wrist, and then she said to Korea, "Miss Korea, please go ahead with your work. I’ll take Fenfen home now."

But Fenfen pointed insistently towards Ji Chicheng’s office, determined to find her dad, "Daddy... Daddy..."

Ji Anning, already feeling suffocated, became even more distressed with the little girl’s fuss. Ignoring Fenfen’s tantrum, she turned around carrying her.

Fenfen pouted, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Why not leave Fenfen here, then? Let her go back with Mr. Ji later," Korea suggested, following Ji Anning’s steps, wanting her to leave Fenfen behind.

Ji Anning turned around with a forced smile, "No need, it’s too late. I just brought her to see him for a moment before leaving."

"Daddy."

The little girl, who had come looking for her daddy full of excitement, was about to leave without even seeing him and felt very disappointed and sad, her mouth turned down in tears.

Ji Anning patted her back to comfort her, "Be good. Daddy will come home after he finishes his work."

Korea looked at Fenfen with an air of sympathy and continued to persuade Ji Anning, "Miss Niannian, Mr. Ji will probably wake up soon. I think if he sees Fenfen here, he won’t work too late. Why don’t you leave her here?"

Ji Anning stopped, turned slightly with a faint smile, and handed Fenfen to Korea, "Then I’ll trouble you, Miss Korea."

Korea immediately took Fenfen into her arms, affectionately rubbing her face against Fenfen’s little cheek, then said to Ji Anning, "As soon as Mr. Ji wakes up, I’ll have him take Fenfen back."
