Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 249 - 243: Come Over for a Hug (Part 5)

When she came out, Ji Chicheng could tell what she was thinking. As she got into the car, she was cautious, acting like a thief, which displeased him, "What are you looking at?"

His cold voice made Ji Anning shiver.

She hurriedly withdrew her gaze from outside and looked at Ji Chicheng, "Where are we going now?"

Before she could finish speaking, she noticed the car window beside her had been rolled down, not just hers, but all four windows, and Ji Chicheng had also turned on all the lights in the car. The cold wind blew in, making Ji Anning shiver from the chill.

She hugged her arms and hunched her neck, asking Ji Chicheng in confusion, "Uncle, why are you opening the car windows?"

It was already deep autumn, nearly winter, and the temperature outside was only about ten degrees at night.

"Xiang Yiqing invited us to dinner."

Ji Chicheng replied coldly to Ji Anning, still avoiding the question.

Then he started the car, and as it moved, the cold wind whistled through the interior.

Ji Chicheng glanced at Ji Anning through the rearview mirror. She was curled up, hunching her neck, and without showing any emotion, he closed the car windows again.

Only then did Ji Anning dare to sit up straight, grabbed the seat in front of her, and asked Ji Chicheng, "Uncle, where is Doctor Xiang taking us to eat?"

She felt a bit tired and didn’t really want to go, but mainly, she felt embarrassed about crying in front of Xiang Yiqing the day before.

Ji Chicheng, hearing her reluctance, replied indifferently, "If you don’t want to go, I can stand him up."

Ji Anning shook her head, "No, I want to go."

After all, he had saved her several times, and if it weren’t for her, she still wouldn’t have had the courage to take this step.

As a way of repaying and expressing gratitude, she should at least join him for a meal.

However, she answered too quickly, even eagerly, which made Ji Chicheng displeased again, "Do you really want to go have dinner with Xiang Yiqing?"

Ji Anning: "..."

Could he be jealous over this? She smiled helplessly, "Wherever you go, Uncle, I go."

His thoughts were truly hard to fathom; she would let him decide.

Wherever you go, I go...

This unintentional and reluctant sentence, heard by Ji Chicheng, surpassed all sweet nothings.

He had finally waited for this day; wherever he went, she would go, he could reach out to hold her hand, and just turn his head to see her face.

...

Every city has neon lights and nightlife, but the night scene of City C could not compare to the bustle of Hai City.

At this hour, there were also fewer cars on the roads than in Hai City; the car drove at a steady speed, the windows were tightly sealed, and no sound from outside could be heard.

Ji Chicheng was driving, and he was not much of a talker to begin with. If Ji Anning didn’t initiate conversation, both of them would maintain their silence.

Ji Anning also wanted to find a topic to chat with Ji Chicheng, but she was somewhat shy about it and also feared that if she talked too much, he might find it annoying.

She rested her head against the car window, her gaze fixed on the man in the driver’s seat. Under the dim light, he looked less domineering, more gentle.

Just being able to watch him like this, to be with him, made her content even if she had to be mute.

She now understood why the Little Mermaid was willing to sacrifice her sweet voice to be by the prince’s side; to be able to watch the person you liked like this was truly blissful and satisfying.

At an intersection, they encountered a red light, and the car came to a steady stop to wait.

Ji Chicheng turned to look at Ji Anning, who was staring at him in a daze, her eyes reflecting the dim light, obviously infatuated.

(Yang Ge is going to take his driving test tomorrow, so I’m off to sleep now. Good night, and don’t forget to vote after you finish reading this week’s update...)
