Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 119 - 121: Forced to Cohabit (Sixty-Four)

Ji Anning’s heart trembled as she timidly surveyed Ji Chicheng, but his expression was as indifferent as ever, revealing nothing of his emotions or thoughts.

Anxious, scared, uneasy.

Her palms were sweaty, and she dared not look into Ji Chicheng’s dark, piercing eyes.

She felt that his eyes could see every detail, and once their gazes met, she would be completely transparent to him.

Behind her, Bai Guo also lost some color upon seeing Ji Chicheng, as she had come to intimidate Ji Anning today, threatening her to ask to leave the Ji Family on her own initiative.

She didn’t truly want to tear everything apart.

Now that Ji Chicheng had suddenly appeared, if he had heard their conversation, and if Ji Anning were to be expulsed from the Ji family, then her and Ji Jingfeng’s days would not be easy either.

The more Bai Guo thought about it, the more uneasy she became, her discontent growing with her unease. She and Jingfeng, why should they be threatened by a man who dabbled in an affair with Ji Anning and didn’t even dare to show his face?

However, his hand indeed had them by the vitals.

Bai Guo was inwardly conflicted, yet since his appearance, Ji Chicheng hadn’t even glanced at her.

He had been staring at Ji Anning all along. Ji Anning called out to him, but he didn’t respond, which made Ji Anning even more anxious. Her steps halted, not daring to walk forward or get closer to him.

"Come with me for a moment."

Suddenly, Ji Chicheng spoke, almost commandingly. Then he turned around, his gaze sweeping over Ji Anning’s pale face for a moment.

Watching his tall figure leading the way, Ji Anning’s legs trembled, unable to move.

"Um... Uncle... I..."

Her voice shook, too, overcome by extreme nervousness and unease; she felt as if she would collapse inside, wanting to shout at Ji Chicheng, telling him that she, Ji Anning, had cheated and was unworthy of the Ji family.

She didn’t want to continue acting lovingly with Ji Jingfeng in their family, nor did she want to keep deceiving her kind mother.

She was... almost suffocated by all the pressures.

But when she truly opened her mouth, she found it hard even to speak.

After struggling internally for a while, Ji Anning finally stepped forward, following behind Ji Chicheng. Each step sent a shudder through her heart, each one an ordeal.

It was a stark contrast to Ji Chicheng’s calm and casual stride.

Ji Anning felt she had no choice but to follow Ji Chicheng, so she followed him all the way to his apartment.

After all, everyone in the school now knew about their uncle-niece relationship, so no one would think it odd to see them together.

"Uncle, do you..."

Upon reaching the door of Ji Chicheng’s room, Ji Anning couldn’t bear the torment any longer and hesitantly looked at him, still lacking confidence, her tone faltering.

"Can you make coffee?"

Ji Chicheng suddenly interrupted her, asking while he opened the door.

What? Make coffee? Ji Anning was stunned, "Uh?"

Her tension eased somewhat with Ji Chicheng’s question.

Could it be that he hadn’t heard her conversation with Bai Guo? Ji Anning frowned, eyeing Ji Chicheng suspiciously. She was used to him suddenly appearing behind her.

But each time, it seemed like he caught her when she had done something wrong. Would this time be an exception?

Ji Chicheng’s expression remained indifferent, giving not the slightest indication for Ji Anning to speculate about his thoughts.

He said, "I have a guest coming over later. You can help me make coffee."
