Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 689 - 681: We Are Close Uncle and Nephew (Part 9)

Seeing her standing there unmoved, she added, "It’s such cold weather, and in this area, unless someone takes a taxi here, it’s really hard to find one now."

Then her gaze shifted back to Ji Chicheng in the driver’s seat, "This way I can sit in the passenger seat and get closer to him."

As she spoke, she suddenly leaned forward, reaching her hand around Ji Chicheng’s neck, her lips coated in lipstick, and planted a kiss on his cheek.

Ji Anning’s heart twinged in pain, and Ji Chicheng hadn’t expected it either, his face turning instantly ashen.

Just as he was about to lift his head to push Xin Xiaoxiao away, Ji Anning’s voice, light and airy, drifted in from outside, "No need, someone is coming to pick me up soon. Enjoy your meal."

She curved her lips into a slight smile and then gracefully turned and left.

Ji Chicheng’s body stiffened, catching a glimpse of Ji Anning’s petite figure gracefully turning away in his peripheral vision. The next second, he wrapped his arm around the waist of the woman next to him.

A scene filled with passion unfolded in Ji Anning’s peripheral vision, yet she had to pretend as if nothing was happening, calmly looking it over.

She tilted her head up slightly, watching the snowflakes fluttering in the air. It was so cold, this world was so cold.

...

Lately, the internet was abuzz with news about Young Master Ji Chicheng of J.C Group and Xin Xiaoxiao of Hairui Group. Rumors swirled that the two had secretly eloped, and that J.C and Hairui were collaborating.

So Ji Anning didn’t even want to check her phone. After two days of snow, the sky finally cleared up, the sunlight was lovely, and she leaned against the railing of the seaside park, taking pictures of the distant seascape with her camera.

"Anning."

A familiar voice suddenly called out from behind her, her complexion paused, and her finger, ready to press the shutter, stiffened.

Listening to the light footsteps approaching, she detachedly continued to focus her attention on the beautiful scene through the lens, pressing the shutter several times.

"Anning, I finally found you."

Yang Yufang approached Ji Anning, looking at her, cautiously excited.

The woman in front of her, almost fifty now, stunned Ji Anning as her appearance differed drastically from the sickly Yang Yufang she once met on the island; her complexion was rosier and fuller than when she first entered the Ji Family, spirited and vigorous.

Yes, she had finally started living the life she wanted. In that household, she could finally hold her head high. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Ji Anning coldly glanced at Yang Yufang, then turned back to continue taking pictures.

"Anning," Yang Yufang again intruded into Ji Anning’s frame, prompting Ji Anning to frown in disgust, "Did I not tell you never to show up before me again?"

After saying that, she decisively walked away.

Yang Yufang followed closely, "Ji Chicheng is getting married to someone else, aren’t you giving up yet?"

Ji Anning retorted coldly, "Whether I give up or not, what does it have to do with you?"

"Anning, haven’t I done all this for you? How many years can I still live..." Yang Yufang pleaded earnestly, but Ji Anning couldn’t stand listening anymore. She stopped in her tracks, interrupting Yang Yufang’s sentimental speech, "Stop! The shares have already been given to you and Ji Jingfeng. You and he should just live the life you’ve dreamt of."

Yang Yufang’s eyes reddened, her voice choked with tears, "I truly did it all for you. You are my own flesh and blood..."

Before she could finish, Ji Anning sent a warning glare her way, causing her to tremble and seal her lips shut.

Ji Anning scoffed coldly, "Say what you should say, and don’t mention what you shouldn’t. I have no relation with you, and I want to live a peaceful life. Don’t force me."
