The Art of Pursuing: The Unyielding Ex-wife-Chapter 457: You come here, I definitely won’t hit you

Really, saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, Munni glared at Ji Nanqing and grumbled, "Xu Yisen is really not human."

Ji Nanqing chuckled, "I told you this morning he’s not like a human, and yet you defended him."

"Well, only I can scold him."

Her petulant words left Ji Nanqing a bit at a loss, and he finally asked, "When are you planning to move back?"

"It’s been so long, I want to stay at your place a few more days. What do you think?"

"I think, since your ex-husband sincerely admitted his mistakes, why not give him a chance to change? Go home and reunite with him, maybe then you’ll sleep better."

Munni had never told him about her insomnia. He only discovered it by accident when he saw Munni taking sleeping pills, and after persistent questioning, she admitted her serious sleep issues.

Ji Nanqing wanted to take her to see a therapist, but she firmly refused, leaving him helpless to give up.

At night, when Munni couldn’t sleep, she would come to his room to bother him, chatting, gossiping, watching shows, reading, or doing face masks together, usually until the early hours of the morning when Munni finally fell asleep.

Ji Nanqing only went to sleep after Munni did those days, and his routine got a bit disrupted.

"Old Ji, I think you seem to be supporting the wrong side."

Receiving Munni’s threatening gaze, Ji Nanqing expressed his loyalty earnestly, "I’m definitely on your side."

He paused, "But being away from home for so many days isn’t good, stop tormenting yourself—just forgive your ex-husband already."

Munni didn’t reply, her steps hastily exiting the mall, as if she feared Xu Yisen would catch up again.

...

In the evening, Munni lay on Ji Nanqing’s bed reading, while Ji Nanqing half-reclined on a chaise longue, working on his laptop.

Munni slowly lifted her gaze from the book, looked earnestly at Ji Nanqing on the chaise, and suddenly called him, "Nan Qing."

Whenever she used that tone to call him, Ji Nanqing had a bad feeling. He paused typing, looked up at Munni, "What?"

"As a handsome young man with fair skin and good looks, why didn’t you do anything when your sponsor was being dragged away?"

The puzzled tone seemed to be disparaging how, earlier, she was taken away by Xu Yisen, and Ji Nanqing just watched without taking any action.

Ji Nanqing felt he wasn’t that untrustworthy, so he earnestly defended himself.

"I was just stunned at the time, didn’t expect he’d be so blatant about taking you. But when I realized, my first reaction was to save you, unfortunately, Tang Haoliang held me back, and I was so frantic I nearly fought with him."

Munni scorned and rolled her eyes, still remembering when she came out of the emergency exit and saw him chatting and laughing with Tang Haoliang, not looking like he was about to fight.

"Tch." Munni sneered at his defense, then suddenly flashed a mischievous smile, sat up, and beckoned Ji Nanqing, "Come here."

Her cunning smile gave Ji Nanqing the creeps, and he instinctively shook his head, "No."

"Come here, I definitely won’t hit you."

These words... Ji Nanqing found them very familiar, vaguely recalling the last time Munni said this to him, what she did afterwards.
