Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 337 - 331 Unexpected Heart Flutter (Part 10)
Five fingers twitched in unison.
Damn!
He hadn’t done anything to wrong Ji Chicheng—if it weren’t for him, that girl would have met a tragic fate. Ji Chicheng should be grateful to him, so what did he have to feel guilty about?
Having convinced himself of this point, Qi Helian immediately gained confidence, "You actually believe that guy Rong Feifan, who can never say anything good?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
He hadn’t done anything, hadn’t done anything, hadn’t done anything...
Qi Helian repeated these words in his mind over and over, trying to drive away that slight sense of guilt.
After speaking, Ji Chicheng gave no response for a long time. Qi Helian grew impatient and raised his voice, "Ji Chicheng, do you have anything else to say?"
"Oh, you’re so annoying!"
Suddenly, a girl’s coquettish voice came through the receiver, its charm making his hair stand on end.
He immediately hung up the phone and burst out irritably, "Damn, a wolf in sheep’s clothing."
In the broad daylight.
Qi Helian looked out the window, his brow furrowed in frustration; something felt uncomfortable. He reached up to adjust the tie around his neck.
He then withdrew his gaze from the window and glanced at a constantly waving Doraemon figurine on the desk, which he also found annoying. He grabbed it and threw it into the trashcan next to him.
’Thud thud thud’
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. He glanced at the door and replied in an extremely impatient tone, "Come in."
Then he picked up his coffee, which had already gone cold, and drank it down like it was plain water.
The office door opened, and his assistant Minnie entered with a bunch of files, "Boss, all the documents are ready, and Miss Yueyue is here; we can leave now."
As she spoke, she walked over to Qi Helian, placing the stack of files on the desk, her gaze accidentally catching sight of the Doraemon still waving from the trashcan.
"Uhm..." She paused for a moment, then bent down to pick Doraemon out of the trashcan, looking at Qi Helian with confusion, "Isn’t this the lucky cat Miss Yueyue just gave you yesterday?"
"Have you ever seen a blue lucky cat?" Qi Helian rolled his eyes at Minnie. He then stood up, straightened his suit, took a step forward, thought again, and turned back to snatch the Doraemon from Minnie’s hands, placing it back in its original spot.
Yes, it was a gift from the gorgeous Wan Yueyue, whom countless directors wanted to woo, and she had delivered it herself; why should he refuse it?
"Mr. Qi."
Just then, Wan Yueyue arrived, dressed in new Hermes attire, gently calling out to Qi Helian with a sweet smile, then naturally hooking her arms into his as she approached him.
Qi Helian glanced down and thought to himself that this was the life he was pursuing, the life he wanted.
It involved beauty, but he was never emotionally involved.
...
Separated, yet as if newly wed, Ji Anning found it difficult to get up after being tormented all morning, not even having the strength after having lunch. She locked herself in her room, resolutely refusing to let Ji Chicheng enter.
She leaned against the headboard, casually picking up a book from the nightstand that Ji Chicheng had only read a few pages of and began flipping through it absentmindedly.
It was a book about computer science knowledge, which she neither understood nor could focus on, making her yawn incessantly.
She did not know when she had fallen asleep, but when she opened her eyes again, it was already dark.
The curtains were not drawn. From the wall-sized floor-to-ceiling windows, she could see the bustling night sky, a view that felt completely different from the usual evenings spent gazing out the window.
