Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 78 - 79 Reluctant Cohabitation (Part 23)

Ji Anning’s lips twitched, but she still nodded. After all, comforting people was a virtue.

The two chatted as they left the Hunan restaurant, and Yang Danning received a text message. After glancing at the content, she suddenly frowned and cursed, "Damn!"

Ji Anning was curious, "What’s wrong?"

Yang Danning pouted, looking quite upset, "I ordered a pink quartz necklace from Beautiful City. They’re saying there’s still an extra hundred thousand for shipping insurance."

Upon hearing this, Ji Anning couldn’t help mocking, "What kind of necklace is it that you spent over two million on and still have to buy shipping insurance yourself?"

It was simply robbery, even more brutal than robbery.

Thinking about it, she felt something was off, "Such an expensive necklace should have had all the shipping procedures clearly stated when you ordered it, right? How come they’re suddenly asking you to add shipping insurance? You haven’t run into a scammer, have you?"

"No," Yang Danning shook her head, "It’s an official message from Beautiful City."

Saying this, she showed the message to Ji Anning.

The content of the message was simple and clear, stating that a shipping insurance fee of one hundred thousand was needed. Above it was a message from Yang Danning’s previous conversation with them, confirming it was indeed from the official Beautiful City number.

After a glance, Ji Anning pursed her lips, "Oh..."

Seeing the frustrated Yang Danning, she did not know what to say that would be appropriate. A shipping insurance fee of one hundred thousand, truly freaking insane.

The more she thought about it, the more unreasonable it seemed, but at this point, canceling the order was probably impossible.

"Forget it, if I’ve already spent over two million, then so be it for another hundred thousand."

After struggling with the decision, Miss Yang chose to compromise. Though her tone carried a hint of reluctance, her casual dismissal showed she did not care much about the hundred thousand.

Ji Anning thought, she truly did not understand the world of the wealthy. Despite living under the same roof with them for over a decade, she still couldn’t grasp their world.

"Please arrange dinner with your uncle for me tonight, as a consolation," Yang Danning suddenly reached out, hooking her arm around Ji Anning’s neck with a cheerful smile.

Ji Anning shook her head without a second thought, "No way, if you want to ask him, do it yourself. I’m not asking."

With that, she pushed Yang Danning’s hand off her shoulder and took a big step forward, distancing herself.

This time, she was not going to do it, no matter what.

In the future, apart from greeting him out of necessity at home, she would treat him like a stranger outside and not exchange a word with him.

Let alone call him proactively.

But Yang Danning didn’t let her off the hook and took a step closer, "Please, Anning, you..."

Before she could finish her flattering plea, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Then come up and join us for dinner."

It was a deep voice with a nonchalant tone that did not reveal much sincerity. But because it was him, it didn’t come off as rude but rather pleasantly surprising.

Especially for Yang Danning; she was first startled, then, despite feeling embarrassed, could not hide her joy and excitement.

"Brother Chicheng."

She turned around to face Ji Chicheng at the restaurant entrance.

Dressed in a white T-shirt, with one hand in the pocket of his black sweatpants, the no-name brand watch, because it was on his wrist, shone brilliantly, its value seemingly quadrupled.

Under the sunlight, his dark eyes contained a hint of a smile, making his handsome face appear less aloof.

Ji Anning instinctively turned her head to meet his gaze but immediately shifted her eyes to Yang Danning, "I’m heading back to school first."
