Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 273 - 267 Sharing a Bed Together (Part 11)

The slender figure wavered as if about to fall. Lisa, who had been standing by and watching, couldn’t resist stepping forward, almost compulsively reaching out her hand to support him.

But before her hands could touch his clothes, Ji Chicheng gave her a cold and warning look. Lisa’s hands trembled in the air, stiffening for a second or two before she awkwardly withdrew them.

Then the man’s icy voice rose again, "Miss Lisa, the cooperation between N.C and your company was cancelled the moment you asked me to appear in person."

He wouldn’t allow anyone other than Ji Anning to dictate terms to him.

Upon hearing that the cooperation had been cancelled, Lisa was dumbfounded, "Mr. Ji."

Ji Chicheng didn’t bother with her and strode towards the door. When he reached it, he pulled it open and left with a decisive and carefree air.

Lisa stood with her mouth open, then turned to look at Yang Danning.

Yang Danning wiped away her tears and choked out, "I will continue with my entrance party, using your Beautiful Castle."

"Danning, you know," Lisa said with a comforting look at Yang Danning, "I’m not worried about the party, but I think this man is really not suitable for you. He’s not warm. It’s nearly impossible for you to enter his world. You, with your warmth, should find someone warm."

"No," Yang Danning cried again, reaching out and hugging Lisa tightly, "I like him, I’ve liked him since we were young."

But she didn’t have any way to get him. The bags she liked, the clothes, the jewelry, and the cars and houses could all be bought with money.

In her social circle, many males of equal standing courted her, but she fell for the one and only Ji Chicheng, whom she couldn’t buy with money or trade her heart for.

Time and again, she was painfully made aware that she didn’t have the slightest place in his heart. But what could she do?

She still loved him.

...

After speaking with Ji Chicheng on the phone, Ji Anning leaned back in the stone chair, looking at the fallen leaves fluttering down, holding the phone that Ji Chicheng had called her on.

The sunlight was plentiful and the breeze was warm, like his large warm hands caressing her face. She had hardly slept last night and had been extremely tense. Now, relaxing like this, sleepiness immediately overcame her.

She yawned repeatedly, her eyelids growing heavier and heavier, until she finally couldn’t resist and closed her eyes.

Asleep, she felt cold but was too exhausted to bother. Hugging her arms, she shifted position and didn’t want to open her eyes.

Suddenly, she no longer felt cold; something had clearly been placed over her.

Who had covered her? Ji Anning, who hadn’t fallen deeply asleep yet, suddenly opened her eyes to see the man’s hand just retracting, his waist not yet straightened.

Ji Anning was slightly surprised, "Doctor Xiang."

"Ah, you’re awake." Xiang Yiqing offered an apologetic smile before he reminded her, "But since you’re awake, you should go into the house to sleep. You might catch a cold if you sleep outside in this season."

Ji Anning smiled and shook her head lightly, "No, I’m just sitting for a while. I wasn’t planning on sleeping."

As she spoke, she looked down at herself to see the doctor’s white coat covering her. Xiang Yiqing wasn’t wearing his jacket, so it wasn’t hard to guess it was his.

She quickly lifted the coat and handed it back to Xiang Yiqing, "Doctor Xiang, thank you."

"No need for thanks," Xiang Yiqing said, taking the white coat back. He didn’t rush to put it on, instead he reached into the pocket and pulled out two stuffed buns, handing them to Ji Anning, "You haven’t had breakfast yet, right? I just bought these from the cafeteria."
