Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 260 - 254 We Really Got Together (Six)

Ji Anning didn’t know how many people, after interacting for more than a decade, would still feel their heart skip a beat upon looking back.

But for her, whether he was the aloof young man who looked down at her or the man who now looked up, refusing to let go, her heartbeat always changed for him.

Her lips curled into a slight smile, sweet and moved, "Uncle, you should head back to the hotel to rest, see you tomorrow."

As she spoke, she waved her hand at him. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The corners of his mouth also lifted slightly, he nodded lightly and uttered a "hm," but his feet remained unmoved.

"Then I’m going upstairs."

Ji Anning pointed upstairs and then resumed climbing the steps.

She knew that if she didn’t leave first, Ji Chicheng would definitely not leave. They couldn’t bear to part and wouldn’t rest.

Listening to Ji Anning’s footsteps grow distant, until they stopped and could be heard no more, Ji Chicheng finally withdrew his gaze and smiled broadly.

He took two gentle steps back, leaning against the wall sprinkled with powder, lifting his head, the curve of his lips growing wider, his handsome face like a blossoming snow lotus, like fireworks blooming in the sky.

His smile dazzled the silent night.

...

Ji Anning stood on an old window at the stairwell corner, looking down at the black car parked at the entrance.

After a long while, the man’s figure appeared, walking to the side of the car, reaching to open the door, and after getting in and starting the car, he looked up towards the upper floors before driving off into the distance.

Only when the car disappeared from her sight, the lights no longer visible, did Ji Anning withdraw her gaze and energetically jumped down from the old window frame.

’I am willing for you, I am willing for you...’

She clapped her hands and hummed a tune happily as she entered her home.

Upon opening the door, the living room light was still on, and apparently hearing the door, her mother came to greet her.

"Jiajia is back."

Seeing her mother in pajamas, looking tired, Ji Anning frowned, "Mom, why haven’t you gone to bed yet?"

She changed her shoes and linked arms with her mother.

"You hadn’t come back yet. I was worried."

Ji Anning pushed her mother to the doorway, "I’m fine now, go sleep."

"Hmm," her mother nodded, "You should go to bed early too."

"I know."

Watching her mother enter the room and close the door, Ji Anning then went to her room.

The house was seldom occupied; means were limited, and every day heating water for washing was necessary, taking a bath was even more troublesome, but fortunately, the weather was cool, not requiring daily baths.

Even when washing up, Ji Anning was always very thorough, taking a long time. Today, she washed quickly, impatiently hugging her phone and lying on the bed, tossing and turning, but her eyes stayed glued to the phone screen.

Several times, she composed a message, then deleted it.

Just like last night, yet her feelings were worlds apart.

Now, her mind was filled with images of Ji Chicheng kissing her multiple times that evening, deeply immersed in that sweetness, unable to extricate herself.

She didn’t know if Ji Chicheng would message or call her after reaching his destination, but she knew the taste of this wait was also blissfully sweet.

’Ding’

The quiet phone finally made a sound— Ji Anning eagerly picked it up, not disappointed—it was a message from "demon" on WeChat: "Why don’t you care whether I arrived or not?"

Even through the text, Ji Anning could feel the deep discontent of Young Master Ji.
