Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 114 - 116: Forced Cohabitation (Fifty-Nine)
"Was this guy here to see Mom off?"
Yang Yufang was also surprised when she saw Ji Chicheng, "Chicheng."
Ji Chicheng’s gaze swept over Ji Anning’s face, then he smiled slightly as he looked at Yang Yufang, "I came out to see you off."
As he walked, he stopped next to Ji Anning, standing shoulder to shoulder, very close to her.
His hands were in his pockets, and his bent arms deliberately opened a bit—viewed from the front, it looked as though he was embracing Ji Anning.
That phrase Ji Chicheng used, "I came out to see you off," startled not just Yang Yufang herself but Ji Anning, too.
Had she heard it wrong?
The proud man whose whole world seemed to consist only of himself, was actually the only one in the family who came out to see her mother off.
Ji Anning looked up at Ji Chicheng with a surprised gaze that held a hint of inquiry, suspicious of his motives for seeing Yang Yufang off.
Yet she couldn’t think of any motives he might have, considering he was practically omnipotent in this household.
"Anning, what are you looking at?"
When Yang Yufang saw Ji Anning staring at Ji Chicheng, she frowned and softly reminded her, then looked at Ji Chicheng with a smile, "Chicheng, thank you so much for coming out to see me off."
Indeed, at this moment, she was just as puzzled about Ji Chicheng coming out to see her off as Ji Anning was.
Ji Anning’s train of thought was interrupted, and only then did she realize that she had been staring at Ji Chicheng’s face in a trance, regardless of what she had been thinking of before.
Drawing her eyes away from him, she felt a bit guilty and looked down, remaining silent.
"Second sister-in-law, take good care of yourself on the island." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Ji Chicheng made a nodding gesture toward Yang Yufang out of politeness, then after he finished, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Ji Anning’s neck, and a slight, meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
It was hardly noticeable.
"Thank you," said Yang Yufang, surprised and flattered, then paused and looked at Ji Anning, weighing her words before looking back at Ji Chicheng and smiling sheepishly, "Chicheng, you’ve watched Anning grow up, and she’s a bit weak, second sister-in-law wants to ask you, if she does anything wrong at home, help her out, be a little patient with her."
What she said about Anning also being someone he watched grow up—it wasn’t as if he was older than her by much, just four years!
Between them, there was no generation gap, no generation gap, no generation gap!
Ji Chicheng pursed his lips, taking it as an acknowledgment.
Yang Yufang took that as his agreement, feeling very happy, and immediately she turned serious and instructed Ji Anning and Jingfeng, "You two, at home, you must listen to your uncle, do you understand?"
Without waiting for their response, she turned to Ji Anning and specifically instructed, "Anning, listen to your uncle, do you understand?"
Ji Anning: "..."
Where on earth did this old lady get the confidence that Ji Chicheng would take special care of her?
It would be good enough if he didn’t join in bullying her.
Ji Anning powerless to argue with Madame Yang’s judgement, had no choice but to nod noncommittally to reassure her, "I understand."
After a long and difficult farewell, they still had to say goodbye, had to say take care.
Watching Yang Yufang’s car disappear from her sight, Ji Anning’s eyes reddened, and tears sparkled in them.
"Let’s go home," Jingfeng withdrew his gaze, walked over to Ji Anning, and took her hand.
Despite his extreme distaste for her, in this household, he still had to play the loving couple with her.
