Chapter 54 (1/2)

It was a luxurious hotel, it was above five stars and had a posh lobby. The moment Ji Anning exited the lift, she caught sight of Ji Jingfeng sitting on a couch in the reception area with a lit cigarette between his fingers.

Astonishment flashed across her eyes. When did he start smoking?

The Ji Jingfeng whom she knew neither smoked nor drank and was diligent. He did not suffer from any of the problems that most other rich men’s sons were prone to.

All it took was less than a week for the image she had in her heart to alter entirely.

Did Ji Jingfeng have a hard time pretending in the past?

“Anan.”

While Ji Jingfeng flicked a cigarette, he caught sight of Ji Anning. Hastily throwing the half stick of cigarette in his hand straight into the ashtray, he rose and walked towards her.

Ji Anning pursed her lips and said mildly, “Let’s go.”

She sensed the immense constraint and helplessness in Ji Jingfeng’s smile.

But it was not her fault, and she did not pester him. He wanted to remain an obedient child in his mother and grandfather’s heart and rise to his coveted position.

She had her concerns and desires too.

Both of them were now selfishly thinking only for themselves. She always felt there was nothing wrong with being a little more selfish.

Ji Anning walked up ahead while Ji Jingfeng followed behind her, keeping a pace’s distance between them.

“Anan.”

Ji Jingfeng suddenly took a big stride to reach and hold Ji Anning by the hand.

Without any hesitation, Ji Anning flung him aside, “Jingfeng, you can start acting when we get home.”

After finishing in a moderate tone, she walked off without turning back and boarded Ji Jingfeng’s car.

Staring at the gloomy Ji Anning from behind, a sense of disgust swept across Ji Jingfeng’s eyes. Lowering his eyes to see the hand he used to hold Ji Anning’ earlier, he found it so repulsive he wanted to chop it off.
