Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 667 - 659: I’ll Let Her Go to You (Part Two)

Ji Chicheng looked at him with icy eyes and sneered, "Since she can’t be utterly devoted to me, since I make her so tired, and since you like her so much, why not just give her to you."

Having said that, he forcefully pushed Qi Helian aside, pulled open the door, and left with resolute steps, without the slightest hesitation.

"Ji Chicheng!"

Qi Helian, furious to the point of being unable to suppress it, chased after him, rushed up, and slammed Ji Chicheng against the wall, his hand gripping a fist tightly, and he brutally punched him in the face.

Ji Chicheng’s mouth was split by the punch, bleeding. He tilted his head, licked his lips with his tongue, and then he smirked malevolently again, snorted at Qi Helian, and then pushed him away.

Just as he turned around, the elevator arrived, and he stepped inside.

Qi Helian did not chase after him into the elevator. Once the elevator doors closed, he turned back home, and upon reaching the door, he looked up, his expression one of shock.

He stared at the center of the living room, his mouth agape, "Anning."

"It’s nothing." Ji Anning cracked a smile and shook her head, though tears streamed down her face. She kept wiping her tears and repeating it was nothing.

Qi Helian felt his heart clench tightly as he quickly walked to Ji Anning, reaching out to draw her into his embrace.

Ji Anning’s forehead rested against his collarbone. She bit her lip, holding back the tears from making a sound.

Her petite body was so fragile in his embrace that he could not help but tighten his arms, "Without you, he is no longer Ji Chicheng."

After comforting her with those words, his large hand moved to the back of her head and gently patted it.

Ji Anning didn’t give herself much time to adjust. She struggled out of Qi Helian’s arms and with the palm of her hand wiped away the tears that were about to fall again, lowering her head she said to Qi Helian, "Thank you, Mr. Qi."

Qi Helian withdrew his hand and elegantly slipped it back into his trouser pocket. He took a small step back, then lowered his eyes and looked at Ji Anning, "You just had a fever. If you feel uncomfortable, you can take a bath. Minnie has gone to buy you some food."

Ji Anning shook her head, "No need, I want to go back."

"Where do you want to go?"

Qi Helian asked without much thought, leaving Ji Anning unable to answer. Where could she go?

In Hai City, aside from a few places, aside from Ji Chicheng’s apartment, where else could she go?

Qi Helian saw right through her thoughts and said, "Just stay here then. I didn’t go home for dinner on New Year’s Eve, and the Empress Dowager at home is in a bad mood. It’s just as well that I should go back and keep her company."

He knew she would refuse, so as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around, walked to the sofa, picked up the clothes resting there, and then headed for the main door.

Ji Anning watched Qi Helian’s retreating back, she pursed her lips and swallowed back the words of refusal she had been about to speak. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

It was still snowing outside; she had no home to return to, and she had no right to put on airs.

Although she had just sweated and felt sticky and uncomfortable, she had just had a fever and had no strength left in her body. She didn’t want to move.

She sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, arms wrapped around her knees, her head resting against the glass window, her eyes listlessly staring outside.

"Miss Anning, if you’re not going to eat, at least get up and drink some more hot water, the floor is still somewhat cold."

Ji Anning didn’t eat and continued sitting on the ground, worrying Minnie to death. She poured another cup of water and handed it to her.

"Thank you." Ji Anning reached out and took the cup, holding it with both hands, then lifted her head and said to Minnie, "If you don’t live here, you should go back, I’m fine by myself."
