Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 98 - 100: Forced to Live Together (Forty-Three)

The video was sent and he followed up with a message asking, "Didn’t you say she was hurt? With those fiery red lips, she looks vibrant. Where is she hurt?"

Ji Chicheng quickly replied, "Her lips."

Qi Helian’s mouth twitched. "Damn, I thought you had her so worn out she couldn’t get out of bed."

He had run several red lights, likely the traffic police were investigating him now, and only now does this guy casually mention that the girl only hurt her lips.

Damn it, just say you’re worried about his woman’s emotions and state and ask him to come check on her. Wouldn’t Qi Helian have come then?

His woman!

Young Master Qi thought of something. A sly gleam flashed through his narrow phoenix eyes as he looked at Ji Anning, who had just stepped out the door. His mouth curved up mischievously.

Ji Chicheng’s woman! Interesting!

Thinking this, he stood up and followed her out, "Anning?"

Catching up to Ji Anning, Qi Helian called out to her in surprise.

Ji Anning saw a taxi approaching, was about to wave it down, heard someone call her, and instinctively withdrew her hand and turned around.

Seeing Qi Helian, she was surprised for a moment, then felt guilty. Meeting him here so late at night, could Qi Helian become suspicious?

Ji Anning anxiously pondered as Qi Helian approached her.

He pretended to be surprised, "It really is you. I saw the figure from behind and thought I was mistaken."

"Young Master Qi, you’re here too, what a coincidence," Ji Anning said unnaturally, curving her lips slightly while tucking some strands of hair behind her ear.

Her actions revealed her nervousness.

Qi Helian was so close with his uncle they might as well wear the same pants. If Qi Helian told his uncle that he saw him here so late in a hotel, his sharp-witted uncle would definitely be suspicious.

In Hai City, aside from Danning, she had no friends. What reason did she have to be in a hotel so late at night?

"What are you doing here so late?"

Just as she expected, Qi Helian would definitely ask that. Ji Anning dared not hesitate and replied with a smile, "I had something to do here, a friend is staying here."

A cunning smile hidden in his eyes, Qi Helian continued to probe, "Oh, is your friend from out of town visiting late?"

His questioning made Ji Anning think he was suspicious. She struggled to keep her composure, her face maintaining a smile, "No, they’re a local."

Qi Helian frowned in confusion, "Then why are they staying at a hotel?"

"Ah!"

Ji Anning stiffened, wondering why she was being so foolish.

She should not have mentioned having a friend here in the first place. That way, there would have been no such conversation.

Qi Helian saw her reaction. The smile hiding in his eyes was about to break through. He said, "This hotel belongs to my friend. Which room is your friend in? I can call them to take care of it."

Ji Anning shook her head quickly, "No need, thank you."

It was too late for regrets now. She had better find an excuse to leave quickly.

Thinking this, just as a taxi stopped in front of her, the passenger paid, and the door was about to close, she hurriedly caught the door and then turned her head to smile at Qi Helian, "Young Master Qi, there’s a taxi, I’ll be going now. Bye."

The more she spoke, the more she felt Qi Helian was growing suspicious. Continuing the conversation would only expose her faster.

She hastily greeted Qi Helian and then bent down to get into the car, closed the door, and asked the driver to drive off.

Watching Ji Anning’s taxi disappear into the distance, the curve of Qi Helian’s lips grew wider, revealing a chilling row of white teeth.
