Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 888 - 881: Not Touched, and I Don’t Owe You (Part 8)

Xiang Yiqing chuckled, fished out his phone from his pocket, and sent a message to Ji Chicheng, "Ji Chicheng, you owe me a favor; I took care of your little lover for you."

After reading Xiang Yiqing’s message, Ji Chicheng’s lips curled up slightly, and he replied, "Did you really ask Lu Youtian to handle the lawsuit for her?"

Xiang Yiqing quickly replied, "Yes, how are you going to thank me? Make it up to me with your body."

"I think Xin Xiaoxiao would be more than willing to oblige."

"Daddy, where’s Mommy?"

As Ji Chicheng was replying to Xiang Yiqing, Fenfen reached out and touched his arm, asking him.

"Wasn’t she just here a moment ago?" Ji Chicheng looked around.

There was no sign of Ji Anning in the room, and the door to the hospital room was closed.

"Anning?" he called out once.

No one responded to him. He got up and walked to the bathroom door, peering inside, seeing everything at a glance.

There was no trace of Ji Anning.

"Daddy..." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

On the bed, Fenfen reached out and couldn’t touch anyone, becoming anxious. Ji Chicheng quickly went over and grabbed the little girl’s hand, "I’m here."

The bandages over the little girl’s eyes would need a couple more days before they could be removed. These past few days, her world had been steeped in darkness, making her feel extremely insecure, unable to be without someone around even for a moment.

Ji Chicheng bent down and sat beside Fenfen, picking up a storybook from the bedside table and saying, "Mom might have gone out to buy something; I’ll tell you a story."

Opening the first page of the storybook, he began to read.

"Little chubby pig has two older brothers who grow bigger day by day and start building their own homes. Big Bro Chubby collects a pile of sticks and builds a small log cabin, while Second Bro Chubby brings some stones..."

He turned the pages one by one, completely engrossed in the storytelling.

"Daddy, Fenfen wants a little brother and sister."

The little girl suddenly spoke up, tightly clutching Ji Chicheng’s arm.

Ji Chicheng’s voice paused, and he stared at Fenfen. Even though he couldn’t see her bright eyes, he could still feel how much she longed for and hoped for it.

This wasn’t the first time she brought up this subject; she wished for a little brother and sister to play with her.

Just like she took care of those Barbie dolls, she wanted to tend to a little brother and sister.

Ji Chicheng smiled and asked, "Isn’t it nice that Daddy and Mommy both love Fenfen?"

Fenfen pouted, "I want a little brother and sister to call me ’big sis.’"

"Good girl, Fenfen." Ji Chicheng pressed his lips together, pulling the little girl into his embrace.

Humans are often like this; in the eyes of others, he was like a king, omnipotent.

But who would know that he’s unwilling and unable even to try to have a child?

Ji Chicheng held Fenfen tightly, filled with guilt.

In this regard, he was destined to let her down, destined to make her grow up lonely like other only children.

...

Knowing that Ji Chicheng had arrived at this time and likely hadn’t had dinner, Ji Anning quietly went downstairs to buy some food for him, and grabbed some fruit along the way.

Upon leaving, the sky still bore a rosy glow, but in just that brief moment, it had turned completely dark.

Patients who had been out for a walk were being assisted back to their rooms, with people supporting those who needed it and others pushing the wheelchairs.

"Be careful, Xiaolong."

Ji Anning stepped onto the stairs. Behind her, she heard a woman’s tense warning, and before she could turn around to look, a boy, more than ten years old, suddenly stumbled and fell beside her.

She instinctively reached out to help, but it was a moment too late.

The little boy fell onto the steps, and just watching it hurt her.
