Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 771 - 763: Who is the True Master of the Ji Family? (Part 1)

"It’s fine, I’ll get the water." Ji Chicheng smiled faintly, turning elegantly.

He left behind a trail of his light perfume scent for Ji Anning.

Ji Anning stared in disbelief, her gaze following Ji Chicheng.

She heard his words, "It’s fine, I’ll get the water," but instead of feeling flattered, she felt a shiver run down her spine.

The man moved towards the water dispenser with graceful steps, his crisp trousers and a handmade shirt tailored from the finest fabric loudly proclaiming his nobility and high status.

He was actually condescending to pour water for her guest. Ji Anning snapped out of it and quickly followed him, "Uncle, I can do it myself. Having you pour water for us... isn’t that shortening my life?"

She said with a laugh, fawning quietly to Ji Chicheng.

Ji Chicheng clenched his teeth, glaring at her coldly, "No, I’m aiming to break your back."

Ji Anning then turned on the water dispenser’s tap, placed the disposable cup underneath, and her expression returned to its high-status indifference.

After filling the cup, he turned and walked over to Jin Yuanyuan, handing it to her with one hand.

Jin Yuanyuan felt even more eerie than Ji Anning. After trying to lift her hands several times, she finally managed, took the cup from Ji Chicheng’s hands, then bent deeply thanking him, "Thank you, Teacher Ji."

Ji Chicheng glanced at Jin Yuanyuan, said nothing, thrust his hands in his pockets, stepped forward, and strolled casually towards the sofa.

This was a special ward; the room was sparse. There was a distance between the sofa and the sickbed. Once Ji Chicheng had sat down on the sofa, Jin Yuanyuan moved closer to Ji Anning with the cup in hand, "Can I drink this water?"

At this moment, Ji Anning finally felt a trace of the old Jin Yuanyuan, her eyes sparkling with simplemindedness.

She rolled her eyes at her, "Yes, it’s not poisoned."

The important issue wasn’t whether the tea was drinkable, but that she had offended a certain uncle who had threatened to break her back. A few days ago, when he was in L city, he had been frustrated by unfulfilled desires.

She had promised him, once his injuries were healed and he returned to the country, she would let him have his way. He wouldn’t want to... tonight, here, would he?

As Ji Anning worried about how to endure the night, Jin Yuanyuan suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "Fenfen... whose child is Fenfen after all?"

After asking, she took a sip of water, looking somewhat gossip-hungry at Ji Anning.

Ji Anning was speechless, "..."

Even now, couldn’t she see it?

But she was someone who would ask with her mouth and definitely not use her brain to think. It wasn’t surprising she couldn’t figure it out; after all, everyone outside believed Fenfen was Qi Helian’s child.

Ji Anning thought, just about to answer Jin Yuanyuan, when her eyes inadvertently swept over the man on the sofa, who was also looking their way, seemingly having heard Jin Yuanyuan’s question.

"Beastly."

Ji Anning didn’t know how her brain had suddenly heated up; she blurted out these three words. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Before Ji Chicheng could react, she was already reflecting inwardly, wondering if she had become a bit too arrogant and presumptuous?

Her boldness was growing.

"Oh..."

Jin Yuanyuan caught the interplay of glances between Ji Anning and Ji Chicheng and wasn’t stupid; she immediately understood.

She pursed her lips and nodded, "No wonder then."

No wonder she had been so cautious before, not telling her who she loved, not telling her whose child she was expecting.

Turns out the rabbit had been nibbling the grass by its own burrow, and it was a forbidden grass at that.
