Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1131 - 1133: Sacrificed His Life for You, Yet Dared Not Love You (Part 5)

Afterwards, she was restrained by Charles’s people, unable to answer the phone.

She knew, it had to be, it had to be that her little uncle also came.

Fetching the dress, she had no intention of trying it on, took it away packed, holding it in her arms, feeling so helpless.

Helpless with this society’s survival of the fittest, helpless that such a powerful man like Charles was monopolizing her little uncle.

Her head leaned against the car window, tears blurred her view outside the window, holding the dress box, her left hand touching the bare ring finger on her right hand.

As if her heart was empty.

"You’ll see him tomorrow, don’t be sad."

Qi Helian felt heartache for Ji Anning’s gloomy demeanor, reached out around her back, embraced one of her shoulders, pulling her into his arms, holding her tenderly.

Ji Anning did not break free; she found that at this moment, having a shoulder to lean on was so nice.

She did not look up at Qi Helian, murmuring, "Do you think when he hears my name, he would remember me?"

Qi Helian nodded, "He will, he definitely will remember you."

He loves you so much.

Qi Helian’s affirmative answer gave Ji Anning a bit of encouragement; she straightened her back and rubbed her tear-blurred eyes.

Qi Helian looked at her, his dark eyes growing deeper, seeing insecurity and lack of confidence in Ji Anning’s eyes again.

He slowly spoke, "Anning, when he was twenty, he went through a fire incident that nearly took his life. At that time, he was even thinner than now, the skin on his entire waist burned down to the bone. With the last bit of consciousness, he called me. When I arrived and saw him, I was so frightened I cried. I thought I would never see him again. He lay in the hospital for more than a week before he was out of danger."

Upon hearing this, Ji Anning’s heart suddenly twisted into a knot, pain suffocating her, her face instantly losing all color.

Nearly took his life; back then, he was even smaller, the skin on his entire waist burned down to the bone...

’I want to see the tattoo on your back.’

’Depends on how you behave in the future.’

’Little uncle, did you previously get injured here?’

’I accidentally got a little hurt.’

Ji Anning, you’re so stupid, so incredibly stupid, even knowing it was him who saved you from that big fire, yet you couldn’t figure out those scars on his back were left from that time.

So, he got the tattoo, is it... is it also to prevent her from feeling heartache upon seeing his scars?

Qi Helian saw Ji Anning’s reaction, as he expected, but he didn’t stop and continued, "I also remembered that year you also went through a big fire, on the same day as him."

Yes, she had only fainted from the smoke.

During the fire, she was always protected in someone’s arms.

"Why? Why didn’t Grandpa know?" Ji Anning’s heart ached so much she couldn’t breathe. She looked at Qi Helian and shook her head, "Why didn’t they all tell me?"

Qi Helian said, "None of them knew because before that, he had already made arrangements to go study in M country."

Back then, he was willing to sacrifice his life for you, yet he didn’t dare to love you.

This sentence, when it reached his lips, he still didn’t say it out loud.

He sighed, "Ah, I just want to tell you, he loves you and won’t always forget you. Even if he forgets, he would fall in love with you again."

Ji Anning held her head with both hands, closing her eyes.

The heartache was beyond crying to express or vent it. She only wanted to see him, embrace him, and love him more doubly.
