Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 676 - 668: Who Donated the Cornea Again? (Part 1)

The airport’s loudspeakers repeatedly reminded passengers that the flight to L City had begun boarding,

Attendant servants standing nearby kept glancing at Ji Chicheng, several times they seemed on the verge of speaking but then stopped.

They didn’t dare to rush him, yet were also afraid of missing the flight.

Finally, the scene on the large screen changed, no longer showing the news about Qi Helian and Ji Anning. Ji Chicheng shifted his gaze away and continued walking toward the boarding gate.

"Chicheng?"

As Ji Chicheng’s steps took him towards the boarding gate, someone suddenly called out to him, a middle-aged woman’s voice.

He halted in his tracks, turning to look in the direction of the voice, a middle-aged woman who embodied nobility, elegance, and beauty approached him with a slight smile.

In his usually unflustered eyes, a ripple of emotion appeared as he watched the woman approach, and he nodded slightly, "Mrs. Qi."

Qi Xiaoxiao was dressed in a short white down jacket, her long hair piled up high, her face bearing minimal makeup; she looked notably young.

She looked up at Ji Chicheng with confusion, "It’s only the second day of the New Year; where are you flying to?"

Ji Chicheng responded indifferently, "I have matters to attend to."

Although the response was perfunctory, it still gave due respect. To him, this was a dull question, and had it been anyone else, he likely would’ve ignored them completely.

Qi Xiaoxiao also prided herself on her dignity. Having asked once and received no clear answer from Ji Chicheng, she didn’t pursue the question of his destination further, but she continued to smile at him, "I was just thinking of visiting your home when I get back."

Upon hearing this, a flicker passed unnoticed through Ji Chicheng’s eyes, and a trace of coolness flashed as well, as he spoke calmly, "Mrs. Qi, I need to catch my flight."

One wouldn’t visit without good reason; he clearly knew why Qi Xiaoxiao said she wanted to visit his home.

After a brief greeting, he turned and continued toward the boarding gate.

"Don’t be in such a hurry; it won’t delay you but a few minutes," Qi Xiaoxiao followed Ji Chicheng’s steps, and while walking beside him, said, "I wanted to talk to you about Helian and your Anning. Since the two children are fond of each other and the fact is the rice is already cooked, wouldn’t it be better to settle this matter sooner? What say you?"

"I have no particular opinion," Ji Chicheng replied coldly, without breaking stride.

Qi Xiaoxiao frowned, "You don’t agree?"

Not looking at her, he continued, "I know Anning has been with your Ji Family for years, and you’ve spent quite some effort on her, but after all, she is a person, and in today’s society, everyone has rights."

At this, Ji Chicheng suddenly stopped walking, his stern eyes intently gazing at Qi Xiaoxiao, but a cold smirk curled up at the corners of his mouth, "You can have her in exchange for your family’s social status."

Without waiting to see Qi Xiaoxiao’s reaction, he straightened up and resumed striding with long steps, quickly leaving her far behind.

Watching his proud figure disappear into the distance, Qi Xiaoxiao felt a bit downcast, "Hey! This youngster."

The personal assistant by her side, seeing Qi Xiaoxiao’s frustrated expression, stepped forward and in an indignant manner offered sycophantic comfort, "Young Master Ji really has the gall. Even if our young mistress was raised by their Ji Family, there are so many who wish to marry our young master, enough to go around Hai City."

"What’s that?" Qi Xiaoxiao frowned, displeased, glancing at the bootlicking assistant, "You think the young mistress isn’t worth a social status?"

The assistant quickly shook his head, "No no no, Sister Xiaoxiao, I didn’t mean that."
