His lips curled up in smug satisfaction, a continuous sense of achievent he had never experienced before swelled within him.
From childhood to adulthood, countless won had been infatuated with him, yet he only ever spared a glance for her.
His gaze was so intense, so scorching, it startled Ji Anning who had been staring at him with infatuation.
"How much longer until we get there?"
Caught staring at his face like a lovestruck fool, Ji Anning felt a bit embarrassed and tried to find a topic to ease her awkwardness.
"What’s that shiny thing on your chin?" Ji Chicheng stared at Ji Anning’s chin, asking with an expressionless face.
Shiny? Ji Anning was stunned, "What... what?"
She couldn’t possibly be drooling, could she?
No way, she might like his face, but there’s no way she’d lower herself to the point of drooling.
Ji Anning was convinced she couldn’t be drooling, and as she lifted her head, she caught the sly smile flickering in Ji Chicheng’s eyes and scowled.
She knew it; how could she possibly infatuate to that extent? Apart from sleeping in the wrong position, she never drooled over anything.
Just a mont ago, she was about to reach for her chin. Thankfully, her mind turned the corner in ti.
Thinking this, she shot Ji Chicheng a resentful glare; this bad guy was really rotten to the core, rotten without showing it, rotten in the bones.
Ji Chicheng paid no attention to Ji Anning’s embarrassed and resentful gaze; the red light turned green, and he calmly started the car, continuing to drive forward.
Ji Anning looked ahead at the road, which was wide and had few cars, feeling that they had left the city area and it seed a bit remote.
She couldn’t help but ask Ji Chicheng, "Uncle, where is Doctor Xiang taking us to eat? Why haven’t we arrived yet?"
Ji Chicheng turned his head to look at her and countered with a raised eyebrow, "Didn’t you say you would go wherever I go?"
Ji Anning fell silent; she did say that, but asking where they were going should be alright...
Forget it, better to ask in a different way, "Then how much longer will it take?"
Not knowing where they were going, telling her how far or how long it would take to reach the destination should be fine, she thought, tilting her head to glance at the man’s face.
Seeing his lips tightly pressed, with no intention to speak, she added, "I’m worried about going back late; my mom will worry if she doesn’t see ."
Previously, when she wasn’t ho, her mother would stay night and day at the hospital with her father. In the past few days she had been back, her mother would always co ho to be with her at night.
Her father in the nursing ho was left with the nurses, and then the next day, at the crack of dawn, she would go to take over for the nurses.
It was getting late, and her mother would definitely worry if she didn’t see her when she ca back.
"Then let’s go to your house now."
No sooner said than done, Mr. Ji braked sharply, arrogantly stopping the car in the middle of the broad road, ready to make a U-turn imdiately.
Ji Anning: "..."
So this is the legendary decisiveness?
Ji Anning was speechless for a mont, then quickly waved at Ji Chicheng, "Stick to your original plan. I’ll call my mom and tell her I’ll be back late."
She knew that when he said he would go to her house, it wasn’t just talk. If she relented, he would really go.
It was best to nip that idea in the bud.
As she spoke, Ji Anning imdiately fished out her phone from her bag, dialed her mother’s number, and while waiting for her to pick up, she made a gesture with her eyes to the man in the driver’s seat, signaling him to keep driving.
Ji Chicheng didn’t make it difficult for her and restarted the car.
