Chapter 22 (2/2)

Ji Chicheng’s already stern features instantly turned as black as coal, “Qi Helian, don’t you have filming to do?”

Shivering from his wintry manner, Qi Helian promptly shut up and turned to sit down on his recliner. He gave Ji Chicheng the space to reprimand his nephew’s wife for clandestinely being a body double.

He hung around watching while waiting for a good show.

The entire time, Ji Anning kept her head down too afraid to raise it as she could sense Ji Chicheng’s chilly gaze trained on her.

She was currently trying to decide whether or not to run.

Sure enough, misfortune befell her the minute this fellow came back.

She had worked as an extra for two years or so, keeping it under wraps all this time, but she got exposed the minute he came back.

There was no other reason but that they must have been born enemies.

Ji Anning smiled bitterly.

The silent atmosphere left Ji Anning particularly stifled as she wrung her skirt hem with her hands tightly.

“Qi Helian, let her be the female lead on my account.”

Concealing the annoyance in his coldness, Ji Chicheng finally spoke as he veered his head to the side, he looked at Qi Helian, who was lying back lazily.

At the sound of that, Ji Anning raised her head, looking up at him and shook her head, “No… Little Uncle.”

Since young, he looked down on her for her cowardice. Now that she became a body double, he must feel she was embarrassing the Jis as she could sense that he was truly mad.

But she could not let him tell the family about it, or else she was done for. Based on her grandfather’s temperament, she was bound to get banned from ever setting foot in the university again.

The old man would have Ji Jingfeng tie the knot with her immediately and have children.

Ji Anning contemplated, then stepped forward without hesitation and held Ji Chicheng by his wrist. With all her might, she begged him, “Little Uncle, I know I’m in the wrong. I honestly do. Please don’t tell Grandpa.”

The rims of her eyes, which were already red, got worse as tears gradually welled in her eyes.
