Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1161 - 1163: Ji Chicheng, Your True Colors Are Showing (Part 8)

Ji Anning: "..."

So that’s what he’s fussing about.

Charles was taken aback.

Ji Anning, who was beside him, also lowered her head, feeling extremely embarrassed. It seemed that losing his memory hadn’t changed his nature one bit.

Wicked, sly, petty, yet blindly proud and domineering...

But what did he just say? Me and your daughter-in-law?

Is he admitting he’s Charles’s son now?

Thinking of this, Ji Anning looked up in surprise at Ji Chicheng. He was still the same as always.

As if the whole world owed him money, and everyone was his rival in love.

Then Charles introduced them to many people, and all the while, you could hear him introducing Ji Chicheng as his son, but not once did Ji Chicheng call him Dad.

After making the rounds, Ji Anning was a bit overwhelmed, and luckily she had spotted Yao Yiyang standing in a less crowded area.

After greeting Charles, she dragged Ji Chicheng and walked towards Yao Yiyang.

"Brother Yao."

Seeing them coming hand in hand, Yao Yiyang raised his glass to Ji Anning, "Congratulations."

His face showed a faint smile, making Ji Anning somewhat embarrassed.

"Thank you," she said, blushing, then asked, "Why are you here alone?"

Isn’t this a social occasion? Does he not have any acquaintances?

"Actually, I don’t really like these kinds of events."

Yao Yiyang replied softly to Ji Anning, then quickly changed the subject, "She just messaged and asked how you were doing, if you’d seen Ji, and seemed more anxious than you."

Ji Anning knew exactly who he was referring to and asked with a smile, "Did you tell her?"

"Mm," Yao Yiyang nodded, lifting his gaze to the man standing behind Ji Anning.

He thought of greeting him, but the man showed no expression, nostrils flared skyward, clearly not intending to acknowledge him.

Having some understanding of Ji Chicheng, Yao Yiyang didn’t find it awkward and smiled slightly, looking away.

Ji Anning gave a sidelong contemptuous glance at the man behind her and then softly apologized to Yao Yiyang, "Ignore him; he’s just like that."

Yao Yiyang chuckled, giving Ji Anning an "I understand" look.

As Ji Anning spoke, she looked at Yao Yiyang, and her expression suddenly became serious, "Brother Yao, I’ve always wanted to ask you something."

Yao Yiyang knew what she wanted to ask and replied with a mild smile, "What you want to know, I might not understand myself. I just want what’s best for her without causing her trouble."

Want what’s best for her without causing trouble...

Such a nonchalant statement resonated with Ji Anning more than countless ambitious declarations of ’I love her.’

"If you don’t try, how will you know if it’s trouble or a way out?"

Ji Anning said, raising an eyebrow at Yao Yiyang. Yao Yiyang shared a smile with her, "That’s what I plan to do."

"I wish you success." Ji Anning raised her drink, clinking it with Yao Yiyang’s glass, gratefully saying, "Thank you once again for helping me with such a big favor. I truly can’t repay you."

Otherwise, she and her uncle wouldn’t know how long it would take to meet again.

And who knows how long it would take for her uncle to recover his memory.

Yao Yiyang didn’t stay long and left shortly after. Once he had gone, Ji Anning and Ji Chicheng went up to the second floor of the banquet hall. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Ji Anning leaned against the railing on the second-floor observation deck, looking downstairs. Probably all of Y Country’s high society was here.
