Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 172 - 166 The Child is Mine (8)
He was wearing a bathrobe, its belt loosely tied, looking utterly relaxed as he held a glass of red wine in one hand and gripped the balcony railing with the other.
Upon seeing Ji Anning, a flicker of surprise crossed his handsome face before a satisfied smile gradually spread across his deep, dark eyes.
However... before his smile fully surfaced, Ji Anning had already lifted the bird’s nest porridge in her hand and, gritting her teeth, hurled it at him.
Ji Chicheng, quick with his reactions, dodged the white porcelain bowl as it flew toward him, narrowly missing him and shattering on the ground upon impact.
He turned around to see the smashed pieces of white porcelain and the bird’s nest porridge spilled on the floor, his handsome face darkened, a cold flash in his eyes.
Turning back, he could no longer see Ji Anning’s figure; her room’s window was closed, even the curtains were drawn.
He clenched his fists in annoyance.
This damn girl, not satisfied with splashing a cup of water, now using a bowl to hit him.
He had given her the best of everything, had given her everything. Could it be that all this was still less compared to Ji Jingfeng, who blatantly flirted with her right in front of her?
Did she despise him that much?
Ha, it seems he must completely break off her hopes, let her give up on the idea of becoming Ji Family’s young mistress for good.
Determined, Ji Chicheng frowned deeply and stormed back into the room, heading straight for the door.
Suddenly, his phone rang; he hesitated for a moment but eventually, he stopped, walked over, and picked it up. The caller ID read ’Xiang Yiqing’.
He answered and put it to his ear, "What’s up?"
"How is Anning?" Xiang Yiqing’s first words showed his concern for Ji Anning.
Ji Chicheng’s tone was cold, with a hint of young master’s temper, "She’s in great spirits, capable of throwing something over a kilogram six meters far."
As he spoke, he glanced back at the balcony where the pieces of the white porcelain lay; without obstacles, it would definitely be more than ten meters.
Even the highly intelligent Xiang Yiqing was puzzled by this response and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Xiang Yiqing, why are you concerned about her?" Ji Chicheng belatedly realized Xiang Yiqing’s interest in Ji Anning.
He was very displeased.
Xiang Yiqing quickly explained, "Isn’t she pregnant? You, always lost in your coding and gaming research, definitely lack common knowledge in this area. I just wanted to remind you that women in the early stages of pregnancy are usually emotionally unstable and easily irritated. Some might have severe morning sickness and vomit a lot. Often, they crave sour or spicy foods—all of this is part of the pregnancy reaction."
He was sure Ji Chicheng was unaware of these basic facts.
Emotionally unstable, easily angered? Cravings for sour or spicy food? Images of Ji Anning furiously dumping hot sauce into her bowl and throwing the bird’s nest porridge at him flickered through Ji Chicheng’s mind.
After a moment’s contemplation, he then asked Xiang Yiqing, "So, do they tend to get physically violent?"
"What? Did she hit you?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Xiang Yiqing’s tone was certain, tinged with a touch of schadenfreude.
Ji Chicheng coolly responded, "I’m just asking."
Getting splashed with water couldn’t really be considered being hit; at most, it was being splashed.
Xiang Yiqing chuckled and said, "Women are delicate and sometimes overreact. If they hit you when they’re unhappy, it’s actually a form of coquetry. At such times, you must cooperate, just go with it, and they’ll feel better."
Should he not have dodged then? Ji Chicheng frowned, his gaze turning back to the shattered porcelain on the balcony floor, somewhat regretting that he had dodged so quickly and completely.
