Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 149 - 141: Unrequited Love is the Honey of Youth (Part Four)

Startled for a moment, she quickly walked over, "Chicheng."

Cao Muyun bent down, picked up the documents off the floor, and placed them back on the coffee table.

Then she raised her head to look at Ji Chicheng and spoke cautiously, "Her foot seems to be seriously injured, you should hurry up and go check on her."

Ji Chicheng’s face was grim, silent, his hands clenched into fists, the veins on the back of them bulging, exuding an intimidating and fierce aura.

Cao Muyun dared not say anything more. She reached out to take a document from those she had just picked up and started to read it, her head lowered.

"I need to finish all these tasks today, my flight is the day after tomorrow morning."

Suddenly, Ji Chicheng picked up his phone and, with an order to Cao Muyun, got up and strode towards the main door.

...

It was only when she reached the roadside that Ji Anning realized she didn’t have a penny on her, and she was even wearing what looked like pajamas for home clothes, with slippers on her feet.

Standing on the road, her disheveled appearance was beyond description.

She leaned against a small tree that could barely support her, mouth slightly agape, even breathing seemed extremely difficult.

’With your wimpy look, how can you even begin to resent me.’

Ji Anning, with you like this, what are you trying to prove?

She really didn’t understand what was the point of her repeatedly standing up for her dignity so firmly in front of him.

"Beep!"

Suddenly, the sound of a car horn startled her. Turning her head, she saw a red Lamborghini parked at the side of the road with its convertible roof down, looking very flashy.

The man in the car was dressed in the latest Prada, his handsome face on the advertisement of the bus shelter next to them outshining even his flashy car, with one hand holding sunglasses and the other supporting his chin, gazing at her.

When he saw her looking over, he waved the hand with the sunglasses, smiling brightly and warmly, "Ning Ning."

Ji Anning was momentarily surprised, then managed a weak smile in return, "Young Master Qi."

Her voice was very weak because of her feebleness, and she wasn’t sure if Qi Helian heard her.

Then her hand reached behind, grabbing the tree trunk, and she slowly straightened up. Her injured foot, by now, was so damaged she couldn’t even touch the ground with it.

Qi Helian quickly got out of the car and rushed over to Ji Anning’s side, "Why are you standing here?"

He caught one of Ji Anning’s arms, supporting her, then looked down at her feet with a shocked expression, "What happened to your foot?"

Without waiting for Ji Anning to reply, he lifted up the arm he was holding, hooked it around his neck, supporting her as he walked towards his car.

Her foot was in so much pain that even breathing felt weak as though she could pass out at any moment; Ji Anning did not put on airs and let Qi Helian help her into his car.

Penniless and without even a mobile phone, who at home would come out to pay the cab fare if she tried to get back?

Sitting in the passenger seat of Qi Helian’s luxurious sports car, Ji Anning leaned her head back, closed her eyes and thought about her more than a decade with the Ji Family. It was such a failure; she had no money on her and didn’t even dare to call a cab home.

With that thought, she felt even more ridiculous about her former pride in front of Ji Chicheng. He must be laughing at her to death.

In the Ji Family, she had no dignity yet held her head high, acting haughty and self-righteous.

Suddenly, a subtle fragrant scent enveloped her, and she faintly felt Qi Helian draw closer. Her instincts made her open her eyes, only to find Qi Helian leaning over her chest.

Her body instinctively sat up straight, her back pressed against the seat, holding her breath, frowning and looking irritably at Qi Helian.
