Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 253 - 247: Come Over for a Hug (Part 9)

Of course, it was affected, having Xiang Yiqing alone was embarrassing enough for her, and now she had to deal with another acid-tongued, teasing Qi Helian.

Looking at Qi Helian’s slightly smiling face, Ji Anning really wanted to let go of Ji Chicheng’s arm, but she didn’t dare to.

Hey, with their kind of relationship, was it really good to be so high-profile?

"You guys just arrived too?"

It wasn’t until Ji Anning and Ji Chicheng spoke up that Qi Helian leisurely opened his mouth to respond. After he finished speaking, he took off his glasses, looked at Ji Anning, and smiled ambiguously.

Ji Anning, already feeling awkward, felt even more embarrassed when Qi Helian looked at her like that, "Mr. Qi."

She greeted him perfunctorily, not even looking at him. She immediately lowered her head and hid behind Ji Chicheng.

But Qi Helian had no intention of letting her off the hook. He tilted his head, following her with a laugh and asked, "What should I call you? Niece-in-law? Or the future sister-in-law?"

Sister-in-law my ass!

Ji Anning’s face turned beet red as she cursed Qi Helian with swear words in her heart.

The more she behaved like this, the more Qi Helian wanted to tease her, "Little Anning, are you shy?"

The domineering Mr. Ji, of course, wouldn’t allow another ’man’ to tease his... little wife. Hearing Qi Helian so cheesily calling Ji Anning ’Little Anning,’ he slightly turned his face and glared coldly at him, "There are cameras in the elevator."

The reminder came with an undertone of threat and warning.

Qi Helian immediately shut his mouth, just as the elevator stopped, "We’re here."

The door opened, and Qi Helian stepped out of the elevator first.

Ji Chicheng, holding Ji Anning’s hand, followed. The corridor was as luxurious as a hall, with upscale, soft carpeting that felt very comfortable underfoot.

It also made Anning feel dreamy, as if she was truly with him, joining his circle.

The hand held by Ji Chicheng was full of sweat, and she looked around as she walked.

The slight nervousness in her heart couldn’t be calmed, and her fingertips turned somewhat cold as they trembled ever so slightly with her nervousness.

Ji Chicheng glanced sideways, silently taking note of Ji Anning’s thoughts.

Qi Helian always walked in front of them, looking at the room numbers as they walked, until finally, they reached the doorway to their private room.

They stopped walking as Qi Helian reached out to push the door open, but the people inside happened to open the door at the same time.

What sprung into view was the host of the evening, Xiang Yiqing.

When their eyes met, Xiang Yiqing was momentarily stunned, then smiled, "If you hadn’t come, I was about to leave."

He then looked at Qi Helian alone, with an expression that said he couldn’t believe it, "Qi Helian, you actually came."

"So you have to treat me well tonight." Qi Helian puffed out his chest, raising his chin proudly, "I turned down the opportunity to talk about life and dreams with a beauty to come here for your treat."

Xiang Yiqing nodded along with a smile, "Then I’m truly honored."

As he spoke, he pulled the room door open and invited them in, "Come on in and sit down, this isn’t dinner anymore, it’s straight-up supper."

He stepped aside as he spoke, making way for them.

"Excuse us for a moment."

Suddenly, Ji Chicheng stretched out his other hand, grabbed Xiang Yiqing’s arm, yanked him out of the room, then he swiftly pulled Ji Anning inside, and closed the door of the private room as quickly as possible.

"Why..."

Before he could finish asking "why," the door to the private room was closed, leaving them outside.

Both Qi Helian and Xiang Yiqing were taken aback, then they looked at each other, both clearly confused.
