Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 247 - 241: Come Over for a Hug (Part 3)

Ji Anning, who had finally mustered the courage to cast aside everything and throw caution to the wind, found herself blushing with shyness again. She hurriedly pushed away from his embrace, hanging her head, fiddling with her hair, and wiping away tears to mask her embarrassment.

But in the next second, the man reached out with his long arm, wrapped it around her waist, and assertively pulled her close against his muscular frame.

This time, he was not as composed, and with his other hand, he tilted Ji Anning’s chin, forcing her bright black eyes to meet his own. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He stood so tall that he still needed to look down at her, but she no longer felt as though his gaze was condescending.

Rather, it was a domineering tenderness that made her long to snuggle into his arms and act coquettishly.

Ji Chicheng just stared at her, silent, his eyes gleaming and brimming with light, until Ji Anning’s cheeks turned red and her gaze grew flirtatious.

He merely leaned slightly forward, and his soft lips met her small mouth.

It was like they were laced with honey, a sweetness that spread through Ji Anning’s mouth and reached the deepest depths of her heart.

Ji Anning reached out her arms and embraced Ji Chicheng, something she had wanted to do so many times when he kissed her forcefully, and now, finally letting go of all hesitation, she embraced him genuinely.

More solid than she had imagined.

The kiss did not last long; while Ji Anning was still too immersed to pull away, Ji Chicheng had already withdrawn, gazing at her charming face. He frowned, "How many times do I have to do this before you will not be shy?"

Ji Anning’s face turned even redder, and only he would ask such a tone-deaf question.

She was a girl, wasn’t it normal for her to be shy?

Could it be that he preferred her to be more unrestrained?

"Why don’t we try again," Ji Chicheng suddenly coaxed, lifting Ji Anning’s chin and looking at her with a hint of slyness at the corner of his lips.

Ji Anning’s eyes widened, her gaze flickering as she stared at his handsome face, like a little white rabbit facing a hungry wolf.

’Heh,’ Ji Chicheng chuckled softly, full of doting, and gently brushed a kiss on the corner of her mouth, as transient as a dragonfly skimming the water.

Then he released his hands from Ji Anning.

Afterward, his voice filled with command, "Don’t sing in public from now on."

She could only sing for him.

Being domineering was one thing, but what was fatal was that his domineering manner left her without the slightest will to resist. Ji Anning nodded helplessly, "I know."

Anyway, she did not like singing in public, and tonight had truly been a special case.

Ji Chicheng, satisfied, withdrew his hand and leaned against the staircase railing, his gaze still examining Ji Anning.

There was not a trace of embarrassment or discomfort.

But Ji Anning couldn’t remain as calm and collected, and as the atmosphere quieted down again, she tried to find a topic to break the awkward silence, "Why did you suddenly come here?"

Ji Chicheng’s response was indifferent, "You said you missed me."

Ji Anning: "..."

She had only said that after he arrived.

But that argument was pointless because she indeed missed him, really missed him. The moment she looked up and saw him earlier was the biggest surprise of her life so far.

"Jiajia... Jiajia..."

Suddenly, her mother’s calling voice came from the doorway.

Only then did Ji Anning remember that she had run out crying just now, and her parents must still be worried about her.

She quickly rubbed her eyes and took a few steps to the staircase door, preparing to answer her mother, who was looking for her outside. Suddenly, she realized Ji Chicheng was following right behind her.

She hurriedly closed the door again, leaning back against it, frowning at Ji Chicheng, "Uncle, you better hide quickly, why are you following me?"

(It’s so sweet, aren’t you going to vote?)
