Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 728 - 720: I Want You, I Want You, Just Want You (Six)

He walked in, Ji Mingyue sat in the wheelchair, facing the television, her gaze unfocused, clearly lost in thought.

Not knowing what she was thinking about, Ji Chicheng approached, his eyes lowered as he watched her for a second or two before speaking, "Where is Anning?"

The first thing he asked about was Ji Anning.

Ji Mingyue’s eyelashes fluttered. She did not look up, her voice cold as she said, "You’re asking the wrong person, I’m not Ji Anning."

Ji Chicheng pursed his lips, asked no further, "Get some rest early."

He turned to leave, but suddenly the voice of Ji Mingyue came from behind him, "Take me home, please. I miss home and want to go... visit the old master’s grave."

Ji Chicheng paused slightly, nodded, "Okay."

Then he continued his steps, walked out of the room, and gently closed the door.

Xiang Yiqing was still in Ji Chicheng’s room, dealing with a mountain of work. Seeing Ji Chicheng return, he lifted his head from a pile of documents and asked, "How is it?"

Ji Chicheng gave him silence, and Xiang Yiqing pursed his lips, "Take it slow, she is very depressed and irritable now after losing her legs."

Over the past two years, he and Ji Mingyue had gradually grown closer, and could even be called devoted confidants. Now, seeing Ji Mingyue in such a state, he could not help but feel distressed.

These feelings, how could Ji Chicheng not understand them.

But Charles, who had originally been determined to marry Ji Mingyue, with wedding news already spread far and wide, suddenly changed his mind, forcing Ji Chicheng to consider the reasons.

After all, Anning was still at Charles’s house.

After a moment of silence, Ji Chicheng asked Xiang Yiqing, "When you brought Ming Yue back, did Charles say anything to you?"

Xiang Yiqing shook his head, "No."

Knowing what Ji Chicheng was worried about, he asked again, "Didn’t you see Anning today? Did she not say anything to you?"

"She said nothing," Ji Chicheng replied to Xiang Yiqing, feeling really uneasy, he turned and quickly walked out, "Wait here for me to come back."

As he made his way to the door, he called out to Xiang Yiqing. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The night in L city became crazily windy, Ji Chicheng hurried downstairs, walked out of the hotel’s main entrance, and right then, a phone call ensured that his car was already waiting for him at the door.

He opened the door and got in the car.

Suddenly, the mobile phone in his pocket rang. He took it out, saw the caller ID, and answered eagerly.

"Anning."

They had just parted, and he was already missing her, eager to see her again.

Ji Anning said, "Uncle, I have lived in L city for two years and have come to know it quite well. I want to stay."

"No," Ji Chicheng immediately refused, leaving no room for question, "I’m taking you back, and I’m coming to pick you up now."

As he spoke, he instructed the driver in the front, "Drive."

Ji Anning became anxious on the other end, "Are you forcing me?"

She raised her voice, almost shouting.

Ji Chicheng’s heart jolted. He realized that he simply couldn’t continue to be assertive and forceful, his mind filled with the exhaustion and helplessness Ji Anning had shown him that day.

His mouth slightly agape, he was stunned for a good while before he found his voice, "Why did Charles change his mind about marrying Ming Yue?"

Ji Anning answered crisply, without hesitation, "Because I promised him I’d stay in L city forever, never to return to the Ji family."

Ji Chicheng’s face darkened, "I don’t agree."

No matter what, he couldn’t leave her here, in this place where she had not a single relative.

Moreover, Charles’s intentions were clear, targeted at him, at the Ji Family; how could he allow Anning to be used?
