Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1168 - 1170: Charles Is Missing (Part 1)
I really don’t know if she’s finding an excuse to become sworn siblings with him, or justifying why they can have meals together after they’re each in a relationship.
What kind of lame reason is this?
Just to be able to have meals openly in the future, they need to become sworn siblings?
Xiang Yiqing frowned, genuinely unable to understand Xin Xiaoxiao’s complex thought process.
Xin Xiaoxiao sighed again by his ear, "There’s nothing I can do. Since you treat me better than my own Xin family, I just can’t leave you."
Was she always seeking fatherly love from him?
"Then it’s settled. We’ll become sworn siblings. Next time, gather your friends, and we’ll have a swearing-in ceremony. I don’t have many friends, so I won’t bring any."
Xin Tongxie didn’t even ask whether Xiang Yiqing agreed or not; she just made the decision herself.
...
These last two days, Ji Anning felt like she caught up on all the lost sleep of the past few months.
In a familiar embrace, she slept till she didn’t want to wake up or get up.
A vibrating phone stirred her awake. Ji Anning opened one eye first. It was already broad daylight. The curtains were drawn open slightly, only the thin inner layer was left, and sunlight seeped through, illuminating the room.
The pattern of the sheer curtain reflected on the floor.
The phone had stopped ringing but buzzed twice more. She frowned, "Who on earth is disturbing my sweet dreams so early?"
Grumbling, she reached out to the bedside table, grabbed the phone with groggy eyes, and glanced at the screen.
"Sworn siblings? What the heck?"
A message from Xin Xiaoxiao appeared on the screen.
’Xin Xiaoxiao and Xiang Yiqing will become sworn siblings, holding the ceremony on the second of October at the Hairui Hotel’s Seaview Pavilion on the second floor. This invitation is specially sent.’
Seeing this, Ji Anning instantly awoke. She sat up, leaning against the headboard.
She kept rereading the message from Xin Xiaoxiao, finding it more and more amusing each time.
Ji Chicheng emerged from the bathroom holding Fenfen, noticing Ji Anning sitting at the head of the bed grinning at her phone. He quickened his pace, "What’s happening?"
Reaching the bed, he looked down at the phone in Ji Anning’s hand.
"It looks like your good buddy’s getting another little sister," Ji Anning chuckled, raising the phone for Ji Chicheng to see Xin Xiaoxiao’s text.
Ji Chicheng looked at it, his expression unchanged, and nodded seriously, "Hmm, gaining another emotional sister."
Saying this, he set Fenfen down, letting her crawl to the other side of the bed on her own.
He then bent down, sat beside Ji Anning, and leaned against her.
"What are they up to? In this day and age, becoming sworn brother and sister is truly laughable."
Ji Anning was still thinking about Xiang Yiqing and Xin Xiaoxiao becoming sworn siblings, finding it increasingly amusing, "Nowadays, even calling someone godfather or goddaughter sounds indecent, let alone god brothers and sisters."
Hearing this, Ji Chicheng lowered his gaze and sneered at her, "Heh, didn’t you just gain a new brother a few days ago as well?"
Saying this about god brothers and sisters implying something indecent—what about her?
Always going on about ’Brother Qi, Brother Qi,’ so affectionately—doesn’t she realize how people might talk?
Here we go again...
Ji Anning gave Ji Chicheng a sideways glance, "Look at you, with that sour tone. Getting another brother is still better than you getting another rival, right?"
Regarding her acknowledging Qi Helian as a brother, he had brought it up who knows how many times over the past couple of days.
Does it really bother him that much?
