Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 654 - 646: Framed (4)
Watching her tightly wrap her clothes around her with somewhat hasty steps, as if desperately trying to avoid something, Ji Chicheng’s eyes gradually darkened.
Ji Anning entered the bathroom and closed the door, standing in front of the mirror. She looked at her flushed cheeks, taking deep breaths repeatedly, her heartbeat gradually calming down.
But the feeling of the man’s desire swelling in the palm of her hand lingered in her mind, refusing to fade away.
She turned on the tap, continuously scooping up cold water and splashing it on her face.
The sound of rushing water and the coldness of the water could not stop the cluttered thoughts in her mind.
This couldn’t continue, she had to control the barriers within her heart.
Otherwise, it would be too cruel to herself and to her uncle.
Ji Anning, you can do it, you... can do it.
With both hands bracing against the sink and facing the mirror, she repeatedly reassured herself in her mind, finally mustering the courage. She turned around and opened the bathroom door.
But the man was no longer in the room. She walked slowly to the bed, to the side where Ji Chicheng had just been sleeping and bent down to touch it; it still held his warmth.
Her heart ached spasmodically.
Right then, her phone rang, and looking toward the familiar ringtone coming from the direction of the sofa, her bag was on the sofa, and her phone was in the bag.
She walked over, pulled out the phone, and saw an unfamiliar Hai City number displaying. She frowned, guessing who it might be, then answered the call and tentatively said, "Hello?"
Immediately, the tiresome and somewhat intimidating voice of a man came from the other side.
"Anning, it’s Jingfeng. Let’s meet and talk," he said.
His tone was calm, as if he was assured of victory.
Ji Anning replied coldly, "Ji Jingfeng, I think there’s nothing for us to talk about. Don’t bother me."
Ji Jingfeng chuckled at his leisure, "There’s a lot we can talk about, like our marriage, for instance." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Without waiting for Ji Anning to respond, he added, "And the thirty-two percent shares grandfather left you, right?"
"That was his decision, and I have no say in it. If you want it, wait until he passes away. As for marrying you, that’s impossible," she said firmly.
Ji Anning was about to hang up when Ji Jingfeng’s voice preempted her again, "Ji Anning, I want you to give me the shares now, or else your clandestine relationship with your uncle Ji Chicheng will be exposed to the world immediately."
At his words, Ji Anning went pale.
She opened her mouth but didn’t make a sound for a long time.
On the phone, Ji Jingfeng’s patience was wearing thin, "Ji Anning, have you made up your mind?"
A flash of hatred crossed Ji Anning’s eyes, and she made a quick decision, hanging up immediately, clutching her phone tightly as she left the room.
"This isn’t supposed to be left here."
"Leave it here."
In the living room, she only saw the assistant sitting on the sofa playing games with Fenfen; Ji Chicheng was nowhere to be seen. Ji Anning searched each room again, finding nothing.
She then asked the assistant, "Qiqi, have you seen Fenfen’s dad?"
The assistant lifted her head and said, "Mr. Ji just went out, not even three minutes ago, and he seemed to be in a hurry.">
Upon hearing this, Ji Anning didn’t hesitate, turned back to the room, quickly dressed, and left, taking the elevator straight to the underground parking garage.
Her gaze swept over the entire building’s parking lot, car by car, but Ji Chicheng’s car was nowhere to be seen.
