Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1160 - 1162: Ji Chicheng, Your True Colors Are Showing (Part 7)
All around were noble figures, sparkling brightly under the dazzling lights.
The most dazzling of all was tonight’s main character, Yue Sen Charles.
People constantly approached him with wine glasses, engaging in small talk.
He weaved through the crowd, seemingly busy yet without any hint of happiness on his face.
Ji Anning and Ji Chicheng arrived at the entrance, not in a hurry to go in, watching Charles constantly socializing. Ji Anning pressed her lips tightly and said, "Uncle, you really look like him."
"Are you blind?" Ji Chicheng rolled his eyes haughtily at Ji Anning.
Then he stepped inside, holding Ji Anning’s hand with one hand and tucking the other in his pants pocket.
As they moved through the crowd, they attracted countless glances.
The reason was partly their good looks, but also because Ji Anning’s face had appeared too frequently in the news lately.
Moreover, she had previously been on Fashion magazine, so many celebrities here knew of her.
But primarily, it was because of the incident earlier at the east garden that drew a crowd.
This wasn’t Ji Anning’s first time at such events, but being watched made her a little uneasy.
She kept her pace alongside Ji Chicheng, trying to ease the tension and awkwardness by debating with him, "I’m serious, even though he’s outrageously domineering, I must admit, you really look like him."
Ji Chicheng turned to her and asked, "What were you chatting about with Qi Helian so affectionately yesterday?"
Ji Anning: "..."
What did he mean?
Was he expressing his trust in her, unlike Charles’s behavior towards her mother...?
"Cheng, Niannian."
While Ji Anning was pondering Ji Chicheng’s thoughts, Charles suddenly called them, his voice coming from ahead.
She looked up to see Charles, one hand in his pocket and the other holding a wine glass, walking towards them.
As Charles reached Ji Chicheng and Ji Anning, someone else came up to greet him.
"Mr. Charles, happy birthday."
A tall middle-aged man with a high nose, blue eyes, and golden hair, exuding nobility and elegance.
"Mr. Buffer, thank you for your wishes." Charles clinked his glass with the middle-aged man’s.
Both took a symbolic sip of their drinks, and Charles introduced Ji Chicheng and Ji Anning to the man, "This is my son and daughter-in-law, Cheng and Niannian."
"Your daughter-in-law is very beautiful, I’ve seen her on a magazine cover."
The middle-aged man glanced at Ji Anning, first complimenting Charles, then extended his hands to hug Ji Anning.
Ji Anning was caught off guard.
Realizing, she also extended her arms and courteously returned the hug.
This was foreign etiquette.
After the hug, the middle-aged man looked at Ji Chicheng.
Ji Chicheng’s face darkened as he looked at the man, intimidating the smile off his face, leaving him awkward.
Seeing this, Charles cheerfully introduced the man to Ji Chicheng, "Cheng, this is Mr. Buffer, the son of your grandfather’s most trusted aide."
Ji Chicheng ignored Charles’s introduction, coldly saying to Charles, "Tell them, my daughter-in-law and I are both Chinese and do not accept cheek kisses or hugs."
