I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 1047: Stop Right There

Ning Xixi’s shoulders shook slightly, her whole body unable to suppress the gentle tremors, instinctively wanting to escape.

"You are totally infatuated with me, aren’t you?" Ji Yebai gave her no chance to evade, holding her chin, forcing Ning Xixi to face him. His dark eyes were as profound as the vast stars, "Ning Xixi, you taught me to be straightforward, liking someone means just that. So why are you hiding your true feelings?"

No... don’t ask anymore...

Ning Xixi bit her lip, "Ji Yebai, you’re just being self-indulgent! This is my room, please leave!"

The phrase "self-indulgent" spun around Ji Yebai’s head like a curse.

His eyes suddenly deepened, and he asked in a low voice, "You want me to leave? Erxi, don’t you want me anymore?"

Her eyes itched with warmth, the urge to cry strong... but she couldn’t cry!

She had never seen Ji Yebai so humble and low-key. In her impression, Ji Yebai was always domineering and unruly, an astonishingly brilliant young man. When he stood beside her, her youth was fearless.

Just because she knew she had taken up residence in the heart of a Demon named Ji Yebai.

"Yes... I don’t want it anymore... go away..." Saying those words, Ning Xixi tasted the pain of a heart being cut by a knife.

It hurt so much... it really hurt so much...

Ji Yebai let out a frustrated laugh and slowly released her.

"Ning Xixi, you girls always say men are ruthless, but when you women are ruthless, you’re far worse than men."

He even said those words with a hint of mockery, but as he spoke, his eyes reddened.

Ning Xixi looked at him in shock.

Had she... really hurt Ji Yebai?

She turned her face away, refusing to look at him again to avoid wavering in her decision.

"I saw the news about your marriage to Anna, Ji Yebai. Although I can’t yet bring myself to wish you well, I will try my best, so that one day, I can genuinely wish you a happy and lasting union, never to part." Her voice quavered as if blown by the cold wind, unsteady and shaking.

"Never to part?" Ji Yebai lingered on those words, his expression instantly turning fierce.

Without her, with whom would he never part?

"Ning Xixi, fine, I’ll go, I’ll leave right now. I, Ji Yebai, promise to never appear in your life again!" Ji Yebai’s voice was cold and heavy. He propped himself out of bed, his steps unsteady, stumbling a few times. Ning Xixi couldn’t help wanting to help him, hesitating and holding back.

She heard Ji Yebai’s cold voice, "Grandfather has been saved, Ning Xixi, you did well, you saved him, you are kind, you are righteous, you have failed no one."

He didn’t continue saying anything more, but Ning Xixi covered her mouth.

She understood what he meant. She had failed no one, but she had failed Dabai!

What else could she have done? In that situation, could she have just watched Grandpa Ji die?

She also hated herself like this, weak, incompetent, unable to face reality, and unable to escape.

"And one more thing, I will not get engaged to Anna, nor will I marry her."

Watching his tall yet desolate figure, Ning Xixi was flustered, "But she’s a princess of a nation. If she makes things difficult for you, for the Ji Family, what will you do..."

Ji Yebai said lightly, "Then I’ll pay her back with my life. Goodbye, Ning Xixi."

This time it was Ning Xixi’s turn to try to hold him back. The little girl stomped her foot, "You stop right there!"
