Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 107 - 109: Forced Cohabitation (Fifty-Two)

Her fingertips sprayed onto the bottle, and her lifted index accidentally brushed against Ji Chicheng’s knuckle. Her heart trembled slightly, and her hand jerked back, her fingers tensing unnaturally before she boldly reached out again and grasped the bottle.

"Thank you!"

After expressing her thanks, she pulled her hand holding the bottle back.

Unable to move it, she frowned, lifted her head, and found herself looking into his eyes.

He was watching her too, his gaze mocking yet not quite smiling.

Ji Anning’s face changed, and she let go in annoyance.

’Clap’

She hadn’t anticipated that Ji Chicheng would also let go at the same time, causing the mineral water to drop to the ground.

Both looked down simultaneously, the bottle rolled a few times, and stopped by Ji Anning’s feet.

Without hesitation, she bent down to reach for it.

Ji Chicheng also bent down almost at the same moment, and due to his height, Ji Anning bent first, exposing her pale neck from the side to Ji Chicheng’s view.

A shadow crossed his handsome face, and a trace of jealousy flickered across his eyes, unmasked.

’Thud’

Ji Anning picked up the mineral water, about to straighten up, not anticipating that Ji Chicheng was also bending over her, and inadvertently, her head collided with his chin.

It pulled Ji Chicheng’s thoughts back to the moment.

"Uncle, I’m so sorry," Ji Anning said while rubbing her head that hurt from the collision and apologizing to Ji Chicheng.

She looked at Ji Chicheng’s chin, which she had hit red, and embarrassed, she chuckled softly.

"Get out."

Ji Chicheng suddenly spoke coldly. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Ji Anning’s apologetic smile froze, and she stared blankly at Ji Chicheng’s handsome face for a few seconds before she realized what had happened, and her expression turned cold.

"It’s the chicken soup that Danning made for you."

She thrust the thermos in her hand into Ji Chicheng’s hands.

Ji Chicheng instinctively caught it, staring blankly at Ji Anning, unprepared for her sudden temper.

The fire of jealousy inside him was subdued and extinguished by her unexpected flare of temper.

Meanwhile, Ji Anning’s fury only grew stronger, she tilted her face upward, her gaze cold as she mockingly said to the perplexed man before her, "That’s all the skills you, uncle and nephew, have, trying to feel superior to me? What real ability does that show?"

She took advantage of her anger to vent the frustrations and indignation inflicted on her by Ji Xiangting.

"If it weren’t for Danning dragging me here, if it weren’t for you calling me inside, do you think I’d care to be here?."

As she spoke, she twisted open the cap of the mineral water in her hand, tilted her head back, and gulped down half the bottle.

Then ignoring Ji Chicheng’s astonished expression, she turned and left nonchalantly.

The door was half-open. She pushed it forcefully, fully opening it, stepped out, took a few steps, and then glanced back at the open door, clenched her teeth, returned, grabbed the side of the door, and pushed hard.

’Bang!’

The heavy security door shut loudly, nearly vibrating the entire floor.

She showed him, using the same method she would with her niece, that she too had emotions!

...

Ji Anning ran downstairs in one breath, reaching a big tree, leaning against it, gasping for air for a very long time before covering her mouth, allowing the tears that threatened to overflow to quietly run down.

On the tall plane tree above, the withered yellow leaves swayed with the wind under the season’s urging, inevitably falling from the tree, just like their separate destiny.

Like her tears, the more she tried to hold back, the more uncontrollable they became, filled with helplessness.

"Ji Anning, are you crying?"
