“Lil… Little Uncle.”

Did Grandpa send him to check and search for me because I’m still out at this hour?

In that case…

Ji Anning was too afraid to think further. Staring hard, she looked at Ji Chicheng who was already standing before her.

It was as though a layer of frost froze on his stern face, making him frightfully biting. Worst still was the malice flashing in his dark eyes, which chilled her to the marrow.

Biting her lip, Ji Anning lowered her head, as she waited for her demise.

So be it. They might as well find out and chase her out of the Jis completely to put an end to the suffering in her heart.

Right now, she neither felt like considering her future nor the fate of her convalescing parents and was too powerless to think.

As though detecting Ji Anning’s fear, Yang Danning hurried to explain, “Your mom called to say you haven’t gone back yet. Since I didn’t dare tell her you went back on your own, I just said we were together. After hanging up the call, I came out looking for you immediately. Thinking that I should get all the help I could get, I called your little uncle over too.”

On hearing this, Ji Anning promptly raised her head in excitement and surprise as her previously dim eyes instantly lit up.

It was as though she got resurrected.

Under the lights, gazing at Ji Chicheng’s gorgeous face, his features became even more defined while his outline became particularly distinct and severe.

With coldness in his eyes, he looked at her deeply as usual, making it impossible to surmise the thoughts that were going through his mind during this time.

Yang Danning failed to notice the look in Ji Anning’s eyes. Looking at her all dripping wet in the pitiful state she was in, she reproached her with a prick in her heart, “What were you doing? Are you stupid? Don’t you know how dirty the fountain water is?”
