Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 706 - 698: The Love I Forgot to Express (Part 1)
Charles’s expression also turned ugly, a murderous look in his eyes.
Seeing his furious expression, the two bodyguards with him took it as a command and immediately turned to chase Ji Chicheng and Ji Anning.
Ji Anning was dragged by Ji Chicheng all the way to the elevator. Just as the elevator arrived, they entered, and at that moment, Charles’s two bodyguards caught up. Ji Chicheng’s eyes flashed sharply, and he kicked out, sending a female bodyguard who was about to enter flying out of the elevator.
Then, he quickly reached out and closed the elevator doors.
"Ji..."
Ji Anning finally had a chance to catch her breath. Angrily, she shook off Ji Chicheng’s hand, but before she could scold him, the man suddenly closed in on her, cupped her small face with his hands, leaned down, and sealed her lips with his soft ones.
Ji Anning struggled, her hands pushing against the man’s solid waist, trying to push him away forcefully.
Ji Chicheng simply freed one hand and wrapped it around her waist, pressing their bodies close without any gaps, leaving her unable to push him away.
He was going mad, he was about to lose his mind, he wanted Ji Anning, no matter who she was.
’Ding’
The elevator reached an unknown floor, the door opened, and a middle-aged man standing at the door turned green with anger. He turned around and shouted at the people about to walk toward the elevator, "Get lost, all of you get lost, send the order down, no one is to use this elevator."
This concerned his, Charles’s, face and dignity.
He was utterly furious.
At his command, the staff relayed the message via intercom. The elevator doors closed on Ji Anning and the rest, and the elevator genuinely stopped moving.
Charles was locked out, seething for a while. Then, belatedly realising, he looked at the tightly closed elevator doors, somewhat puzzled.
Why hadn’t he just shot the guy, instead of helping him and giving him space to humiliate him?
Fortunately, in the entire corridor, there were only him and his two bodyguards.
"Mmm..."
Ji Anning was almost out of breath from struggling. Her rapid breathing made Ji Chicheng regain a trace of his senses.
His hands once again stuck to Ji Anning’s body, slowly moving up, passing her neck to cup her delicate face. His lips withdrew, his forehead resting against hers as he breathed painfully, "Anning, I love..."
A word ’love’, just formed with his lips and not yet spoken, when Ji Anning suddenly placed her hand over his mouth. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
She looked up at him, tears shining in her eyes, "Don’t say it, don’t say it out loud."
She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to resist saying ’me too’.
In memory, he seemed never to have said those three words to her, though he had once doted on her so much.
Once forgotten to be said, but now it had become a forever unspeakable taboo. Ji Anning, with trembling lips, kept her hand over Ji Chicheng’s mouth, saying, "My willfulness has hurt so many people. Grandfather eventually died because of us, you don’t know... don’t know how painful it was for me during Fenfen’s pregnancy. Now, whenever I look into Fenfen’s eyes, I feel immensely sinful."
"Uncle, our lives can’t just revolve around that one word."
A word ’love’.
For that, they had paid such a heavy price.
Her voice choked up, she took a breath and continued, "While I suddenly want to let go, to give up, don’t force me to face the strange looks from the public, don’t force me to endure the pressure of public opinion, I really... I’m truly exhausted."
