Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 333 - 327: Unexpected Heart Flutter (Part 6)

Qi Helian stared at her intently, living in a family like the Ji Family, yet she yearned so much for making money.

He couldn’t help but recall the first time he saw her on the set. Over and over, she was slapped and her hair was pulled by the supporting actress. He felt an inexplicable annoyance and self-reproach for not having stepped in to stop it then.

He vividly remembered how she was dragged into the sea by her hair, time after time, so fragile, yet so tenacious.

Now he understood that her resilience was actually born out of necessity.

He asked, "So do you want to be a big star?"

Ji Anning nodded, drunk and bleary, "Mhm, I do... Ah..."

After a moment’s thought, she shook her head, "No... I don’t anymore, I have my uncle, he’s rich, my uncle is mine, and his money is mine too."

Such words should be utterly shameless, but coming from her lips, they didn’t repel people but instead made her seem candid and childlike.

Is this the real her?

Looking at her drunken demeanor, adorably naive and cute, Ji Chicheng, your taste is indeed not bad.

Qi Helian shook his head with a smile. A gust of wind blew by, and he shivered from the cold. Glancing at Ji Anning’s thin short-sleeved dress, he felt resigned, walked over, grabbed her arm, and pulled her.

"Let’s take you home," he said, effortlessly pulling her to her feet.

Ji Anning’s brain wasn’t completely muddled; after she stood up and steadied herself, she pushed Qi Helian’s hand away.

But her path was wobbly, nearly stumbling with every step, making Qi Helian watch her with a frightened heart.

It was like watching a babbling child learning to walk; he always felt she would fall over on the next step, so he closely followed beside her.

Ji Anning didn’t just feel dizzy; her body was also burning up. Ji Chicheng’s image kept surfacing in her mind, his cold, aloof face, looking like the embodiment of abstinence, yet she longed to challenge him.

Longed to... seduce him.

It was now late at night, a layer of white mist hung in the air, hazy, like seductive gossamer.

Her petite figure, with its unsteady steps, looked as though she were dancing alone.

Qi Helian watched, his narrow eyes filled with warmth.

"Has uncle come back?"

Ji Anning suddenly turned and asked Qi Helian.

Pure, lustrous eyes, shining like black onyx; filled with innocence, they made one reluctant to let her down. Qi Helian smiled, "When you get home, close your eyes and sleep, and you’ll see him when you wake up."

Ji Anning’s eyes lit up, "Really?"

Qi Helian nodded gently, "Mhm."

"Are you Qi Helian?" Ji Anning blinked, leaning close to Qi Helian’s face, looking at him.

Qi Helian nodded, "Mhm."

"Which has more prize money, the Best Actress or the Best Actor award?"

"Both are a lot."

"Then I want both. I want to be a big star too..."

"... Okay."

...

"Uncle, I miss you, I really miss you so much," Ji Anning said.

She felt as though her body was being smoked by fire, dry from inside out. She reached out and embraced the man lying on top of her, filled with longing.

Longing for his embrace, his hot kiss, greedily breathing in his strong masculine scent.

"Mhm, I know," said a deep voice next to her ear, teasing her.

Ji Anning was impatient; she moved her hands up from the man’s back, "Uncle, kiss me, will you please kiss me?"

She felt like she was about to die from the heat.

"Okay," the man nodded gently, his voice tenderly responding to her.

(Ha, consider this extra Chapter a bonus; the two Chapters tonight will proceed as usual. I’m taking a driving test tomorrow, off to practice...)
