Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 887 - 880: Not Touched, and I Don’t Owe You (Part 7)

Be soft when you need to be soft, be tough when you need to be tough, play dumb when you need to, and be so cunning it drives people mad.

And there’s that maddening clingy spirit.

No wonder Ji Chicheng ended up meddling in her business. Probably had no choice but to push her onto him.

Damn it, Ji Chicheng, just you wait. One day I’ll find a chance to make you suffer in front of Ji Anning!

Xiang Yiqing stared at Xin Xiaoxiao, thoughts racing, then reined them in, and solemnly said to her, "I’ve called you, your goal’s achieved, now go back, and don’t bother me anymore."

Xin Xiaoxiao blinked, looking completely sincere, "I’m not someone who forgets to return a favor."

Xiang Yiqing frowned, "Please, don’t repay me."

"Then..." Xin Xiaoxiao pouted, "If you need my help with anything in the future, just say the word, I’d go through fire and water for you..."

Not wanting to hear more empty words, especially from her mouth, Xiang Yiqing felt it all sounded particularly hollow. He waved his hand, cutting her off, "Go."

"Okay." Xin Xiaoxiao nodded, then added, with an unexpected touch of concern, "Dr. Xiang, you should go to bed early; there’s nothing here needing your watch. Don’t stay up late."

After saying that, she turned to leave.

Watching her tall, thin figure, Xiang Yiqing suddenly felt a bit sorry and asked, "You live nearby?"

Xin Xiaoxiao stopped, turned back to look at him, and replied, "At Lucheng Hotel, just a few steps away."

Xiang Yiqing knew that hotel. He thought for a moment, then stepped forward toward Xin Xiaoxiao, "Let’s go."

"What are you doing?" Xin Xiaoxiao looked at Xiang Yiqing, puzzled.

Xiang Yiqing said, "This area is the outskirts."

Meaning it’s unsafe.

Of course, Xin Xiaoxiao wasn’t dumb; she knew Xiang Yiqing was escorting her, so she quickly matched his pace, "You’re so much better than Ji Chicheng, both in character and poise."

Xiang Yiqing heard this, looked at her with interest, "You like him?"

He mischievously thought, if he created a love rival for Ji Anning, Ji Chicheng’s life would surely be interesting.

Xin Xiaoxiao snorted, "He’s a dad already; why would I like him?"

She puffed her cheeks, "It’s not like no one likes me. Why would I demean myself?"

Xin Xiaoxiao’s words left Xiang Yiqing a bit surprised. He turned his head, smiling as he looked admiringly at her innocent face, "It’s rare to meet someone as carefree as you."

"But he really is handsome. For a while there, I seriously considered becoming his kid’s stepmom."

Xin Xiaoxiao said, glancing at Xiang Yiqing’s face, then grinned, "Of course, that’s before I met you. After meeting you, I don’t find him that handsome."

Truly adept at riding the tide...

Xiang Yiqing ignored Xin Xiaoxiao, walking ahead of her. The hotel was just ahead, in plain sight. He stopped, "We’re here."

Xin Xiaoxiao walked to Xiang Yiqing, suddenly acting shy, "You did me a big favor. If you want me to repay you with myself, I won’t resist." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"..."

Xiang Yiqing was speechless. Turning around, he stuffed his hands into the pockets of his white coat and quickly walked away.

Xin Xiaoxiao’s mischievous laughter echoed behind him.

"Hahaha..."

This girl, did she forget her dad is still locked up in the police station and might even go to jail?
