Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1187 - 1189: The Old Ox Returning for Tender Grass (Part 5)

After Xiang Yiqing poured water for both Ji Anning and Ji Chicheng, he poured another glass, sniffed it, and then called the waiter to replace it with plain water.

Upon hearing the waiter’s response, he put down the glass, turned to Qiu Yang sitting beside him, and said, "I remember you didn’t drink barley tea before."

Qiu Yang was a bit surprised, a touch of emotion flashing in her eyes, "I didn’t expect you to remember."

She stared at Xiang Yiqing’s handsome face for a moment, probably feeling shy, and quickly lowered her head, her lips curving into a faint smile.

Ji Anning and Ji Chicheng sat across from them, observing their interaction.

’He once had a romantic relationship back in college, with a senior one year above him...’

Xiang Yiqing’s words suddenly reminded Ji Anning of some gossip she’d heard from Qi Helian, that Xiang Yiqing had dated a senior in college.

Combining that with Ji Chicheng’s earlier remark ’an old cow munching on young grass’... So this Doctor Qiu is... Xiang Yiqing’s first love senior?

She looked up again, studying Qiu Yang carefully. No wonder, no wonder her usually calm uncle showed a different expression when he saw Qiu Yang.

Turns out she was Xiang Yiqing’s first love.

As Ji Anning pondered, she suddenly heard Ji Chicheng’s voice, "Didn’t Xin Xiaoxiao say she wanted to become sworn siblings with you and invited us to join your ceremony on the 12th?"

He lounged back in his chair, lazily looking at Xiang Yiqing across from him, asking nonchalantly.

Thinking about this sworn sibling thing, Xiang Yiqing frowned, "She’s just being silly, and you believe her."

That little girl, she really told them. He thought she was just joking around. She certainly wasn’t afraid of stirring up trouble.

Ji Chicheng said leisurely, "You two becoming sworn siblings makes sense. A friend of women with a loving nature, and a poor little girl lacking love since childhood—it gives her more brothers to take care of her."

A friend of women with a loving nature...

Uncle, right in front of a potential current girlfriend’s ex, you’re calling him a friend of women; have you thought about your good brother’s feelings?

If they were about to get back together, but failed due to your words, wouldn’t you become a historic villain?

Thinking about this, Ji Anning reached under the table and pinched Ji Chicheng’s thigh hard.

Across from them, Xiang Yiqing retorted to Ji Chicheng, "Oh, why don’t you become siblings with her? Why don’t you take care of her?"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Ji Anning, continuing, "She accompanied your wife during your incident, even helped her fend off a little mistress. You should be the one looking after her most."

Ji Anning agreed wholeheartedly with Xiang Yiqing, nodding vigorously, "Exactly, if it weren’t for Xin Xiaoxiao, your admirer Korea might have murdered me in the hospital that time."

Hearing this, Ji Chicheng cheerfully shrugged, "Sure, I’ll treat her to dinner someday, invite all of you, and thank her in person."

This didn’t seem like her uncle at all.

What on earth was he up to?

After the meal, having finally parted with Xiang Yiqing and the others, Ji Anning eagerly asked Ji Chicheng in the car, "Uncle, why did you keep mentioning Xin Xiaoxiao in front of someone’s potential ex who might reconcile?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

She felt like he was unusually talkative today, something seemed off.
