Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 262 - 256 We Really Got Together (Eight)

Ji Anning grumbled inwardly as her lips pursed, "Uncle Jingfeng, aren’t you tired at all?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

After sitting on a plane for more than ten hours, his dark circles were clearly visible by now.

Ji Chicheng nodded, "Tired."

"Then why aren’t you sleeping?" Ji Anning urged him with concern, "You should go to sleep."

"If I slept, how could you sleep?" Ji Chicheng looked at Ji Anning and raised an eyebrow.

Ji Anning’s face instantly turned red, and she shyly moved her gaze away from the phone screen, contradicting herself, "I actually already slept."

As soon as she said it, she couldn’t believe it herself; replying to messages that quickly and eagerly, no one would believe she had already slept.

Ji Chicheng didn’t call out her lie, his face stern as he asked, "Am I worse than that measly data plan?"

It had finally come... He was finally bringing up this matter.

Ji Anning carefully started to explain, "It’s not like that, it was just instinctive."

It really was instinct; she remembered that she had already gone way over her data allowance.

Seeing her looking like a child who had done something wrong, Ji Chicheng’s eyes softened, and he didn’t pursue it further, "Pack up what you need to, and I’ll come to pick you up early tomorrow."

Totally in the tone of an adult speaking to a child, uncompromising.

Ji Anning pouted, "Can’t I stay a few more days?"

She had finally come home for once, and her father’s condition had improved these days; she wanted to stay and spend more time with them.

She had only hoped to try her luck, but to her surprise, Ji Chicheng actually nodded, "Okay, then I’ll come to pick you up in a week."

"Thank you, Uncle Jingfeng," Ji Anning gratefully said, then looked at Ji Chicheng again and casually asked, "Where are you going?"

A week was quite a long time, and from his tone, it seemed he needed to go somewhere on business.

Ji Chicheng replied, "I still have some things to handle in City N; you wait here for me."

"Okay," Ji Anning nodded, expressing her concern, "Then take good care of yourself and get plenty of rest."

Ji Chicheng gave an expressionless ’hmph’ as his gaze shifted to a spot below Ji Anning’s chin, completely covered by the blanket, "Pull down your blanket; I have no interest in your flesh."

Saying so, he disdainfully rolled his eyes at her.

Ji Anning couldn’t help but laugh, "Then why are you asking me to pull it down?"

After she asked, she herself was shocked; she actually... actually dared to talk back to him, and even with a teasing tone.

Ji Anning thought about it, and immediately regretted it.

"It’s not like there’s anything I haven’t seen before," Ji Chicheng still expressionless, slightly tilted his chin up in a snobbish manner as his gaze briefly flickered over Ji Anning’s chest, "Gotta go."

Before Ji Anning could even say goodbye or goodnight, he had already hung up.

Ji Anning blinked, took quite a while to process and remembered what Ji Chicheng had said just before hanging up, and her cheeks turned red.

...

People are spirited when happy, and Ji Anning slept dreamlessly through the night. The next day, as the sun was high, she was languid and turned over in bed, wanting to continue sleeping.

Her legs wrapped in the blanket, she shifted to a more comfortable position.

"Jiajia, are you up yet?"

Suddenly, her mother’s voice came from the door; it sounded like her room door was already open.

Ji Anning turned her head toward the door, frowning in her half-awake state in her pajamas, "Mom, what is it?"

"Uncle Jingfeng is here," Li Fen said softly while looking at Ji Anning.
