Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 160 - 154: Unrequited Love is the Honey of Youth (Part Fifteen)
Lin Yanqin frowned and raised her voice slightly, reproachfully saying, "I will decide what to do about this; you should go see Jingfeng by yourselves. Getting married is a big deal; you must be careful."
Anxious that Lin Yanqin might use this as leverage, Ji Anning didn’t want to talk too much with her and nodded, saying, "I got it. I’m free today; let’s go today then."
Lin Yanqin said, "Today is the day your uncle and Danning meet the parents; I can’t accompany you. You should go by yourself."
Ji Anning was stunned, only then remembering that today was ’the day after tomorrow’ already, the day Danning mentioned they would get engaged.
She also noticed for the first time that Lin Yanqin was dressed very formally. In her white dress with a matte gold trim and her hair done up tightly, she looked dignified and elegant.
At a glance, it was clear she was ready for some formal occasion.
Feeling as if her throat were being choked, it took Ji Anning quite a while before she managed to nod and respond with a ’okay’.
...
It was still Hai City’s most renowned and prestigious private tailor shop. The last time she and Jingfeng got engaged, her dress was made there. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
The studio, brimming with artistic flair, and the designer, also full of artistic sense, enthusiastically introduced the initial designs, holding the sketches in hand.
Ji Anning just listened, just nodded, from beginning to end, without sharing any opinion.
After probably more than an hour, the designer herself seemed a little tired from the introduction. She stopped, took a drink of water, and asked her, "Miss Ji, if there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with, or if you have any ideas of your own, please tell me. I will make sure you are satisfied."
The Ji Family was Hai City’s foremost noble family, the city’s largest financial conglomerate; even the most impressive businesses had to bow down to them.
In the whole of Hai City, the only ones who could have the fashion magazine’s featured chief designer personally attend to them with such patience were the people from the Ji Family.
Yet she never considered herself part of the Ji Family. Now she was just bearing that title. Or, perhaps she was truly like her mother-in-law, or maybe one day, she would be even less significant than her.
At least Jingfeng’s father had loved her, and later there was Jingfeng. She always had some emotional support in that family.
Ji Anning held a cup in both hands, looking downwards into the water in the cup, her eyes gradually filled with melancholy.
Her heart began to conflict again, a conflict so intense it nearly drove her insane.
"We agreed on one o’clock, and yet you dare to be late."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the entrance, interrupting Ji Anning’s thoughts; she looked over.
Seeing the arrival, she gave a wry smile, curved lips. Was this what people called a small world?
The other party’s gaze also turned to her, but without surprise, as if they had known she would be here all along.
Ji Anning wasn’t surprised either and calmly watched the person approach.
Bai Guo wore a light blue, loose-fitting dress that made her seem fuller than last time Ji Anning saw her, highlighting her womanly charm.
She carried a pink Chanel bag in one hand and a cell phone in the other, talking on the phone while walking towards Ji Anning, chin slightly tilted, full of confidence.
"I have seen your fiancée. I’m hanging up now. I’ll give you just ten minutes; if you don’t show up, I’ll have the baby and give it my surname."
Hearing Bai Guo deliberately bring up ’the baby,’ Ji Anning’s gaze instinctively moved to Bai Guo’s abdomen.
The baby!!!
Realizing something, she suddenly placed her hands on her own lower abdomen, eyes widening, her face losing its color in an instant.
"Ji Anning?"
Bai Guo walked up to Ji Anning, wearing a look of arrogance, and scrutinized her sudden movement with suspicion.
