Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 751 - 743: Good Girl, Let Uncle Take Good Care of You (Part 4)

Reflecting on her past naivety, Ji Anning couldn’t help but laugh at herself, saying, "Back then, I thought it was so simple, just a matter of money, never considering that as a minor, I couldn’t even get a visa on my own."

"But by the time I had saved enough money for the plane ticket, I suddenly felt like I had grown up and, ironically, became more timid. I no longer had that initial drive. As I saved more money, my dreams grew bigger."

Ji Chicheng looked down at her with interest and asked, "What kind of dreams?"

What dreams could be bigger than his? He felt jealous.

"To earn money to help my parents with their medical bills, to stand tall within the Ji Family, and even, naively, to one day make a lot of money and throw it in Ji Ruoqian’s face, and Ji Xiangting’s face, making them admire me."

As Ji Anning spoke, she began to laugh at herself, giggling with trembling shoulders, and looked at Ji Chicheng, asking, "Don’t you think it’s funny?"

Ji Chicheng, expressionless, replied to her, "Not funny at all."

He felt only an aching sympathy, knowing that it was being bullied that made her think so much, and only severe bullying would make her want to overpower others.

Back then, he had only taught her to resist, to be strong, but had never considered her perspective, her circumstances.

"Back then, I wrote you a letter every week, but I didn’t know your address, so none were ever sent."

"Once, while I was delirious with a high fever, I even foolishly dreamed of you. I dreamed you came back, sat at my bedside, and told me a lot, saying how unhappy you were in City N, and how much you missed me."

Memories flowed through her mind and heart like a clear, long stream in a mountain gully. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The things done in youth, though foolish, now seemed sweet as honey in her heart.

Ji Anning murmured this to herself, then lifted her eyelids to look at Ji Chicheng, only to find him looking back with a contemptuous gaze, which puzzled her.

"I sent you an email every day, but you never replied to any, only later did I realize you had foolishly forgotten your email password," Ji Chicheng said, giving Ji Anning a disdainful roll of his eyes.

"Huh?" Ji Anning was surprised. "You knew I forgot my email password?"

Yes, a long time ago, she had created an email account and made a few online friends, but eventually, she forgot the password. Since it wasn’t an important account, she simply created a new one.

"Later, I logged into your email and discovered that you hadn’t logged in since I left. I expected you to forget that complicated password," Ji Chicheng said, catching Ji Anning’s jaw-dropping expression and coolly continued: "At that time, I did return briefly. You had a new email setup on your computer; this confirmed my suspicions that you had forgotten your previous email’s password, so you set a very simple password for the new one, 123456789."

Ji Anning: "..."

So, it meant that time she wasn’t dreaming; he really did come back.

And he had seen her computer. None of these were important, the important thing was that he knew her previous email password.

No...that wasn’t the most crucial part. The most crucial question was, did he also know the passwords to her other accounts?

Ji Anning suddenly felt very fortunate, fortunate that she had once been so cautious.
