Looking at the facilities here, it was obvious that this was a house Qi Helian often lived in. Occupying it like this, she truly felt embarrassed.
Qi Helian frowned, "Don’t thank again. Don’t burden yourself with any guilt, I have no ulterior motives towards you."
His candidness made Ji Anning blush. She lowered her head, extended her hand to play with a lock of hair by her ear, her slender fingers, without a bit of flesh, were all skin and bones.
Looking so pitiful, Qi Helian opened his mouth but ended up changing what he was about to say about his concern, "About the housing, I’ve asked soone to keep an eye out for you. There are a few very good brands looking for collaborations now. I’ll have Minnie send so information to you later, see if you’re interested."
Work was the priority for survival. Ji Anning did not refuse, she softly nodded her head. When she opened her mouth, she almost said, "Thank..."
She hadn’t even gotten the word ’thanks’ out when Qi Helian raised an eyebrow at her. She imdiately pursed her lips and gave a faint smile.
Only then did Qi Helian seem satisfied. He then changed the subject, "Minnie said you still had a fever this morning. Make sure you rest. As for Sister Mingyue’s matter, don’t worry about it, Chicheng will definitely handle it well."
Ji Anning nodded and made an ’Mhm’ sound.
Not worrying was a lie, but what could her worry change?
She was wrong from the start, shouldn’t have set Ji Mingyue up with Charles. If anything really happened to Mingyue, she would truly be a sinner.
Qi Helian, who was busy all year round and had a very slow schedule, had breakfast with Ji Anning and then hurriedly left.
Today the snow had stopped, and even the sun erged, bathing the balcony in warmth.
Outside, the wind was strong. Ji Anning watched emotionlessly as the snow piled upon the branches was blown about by the wind.
In the past, she felt that such weather made the house with its heating especially cozy, and she felt incredibly content and at ease.
But now, she just couldn’t find that feeling anymore. The bloom that was just about to open in her heart had withered. All she could feel was desolation and loneliness.
"Did this kid change the door code?"
Suddenly, a woman’s voice ca from the entrance, as if talking to herself. Ji Anning’s train of thought was interrupted.
She turned her head to look towards the entrance, unsure if it was at their door. She pricked up her ears to listen carefully and then there was a knock at the door.
’Knock, knock, knock’
It was indeed their door. Ji Anning got up and walked to the door. Unsure who it could be, she unlocked it warily and cautiously pulled it open, eyeing the exterior.
A very beautiful middle-aged woman ca into view. She was startled.
This was... Qi Helian’s mother, Qi Xiaoxiao.
She’d seen her countless tis on TV and movie screens, this forr goddess of countless young n’s hearts; she couldn’t believe she was seeing her in person.
Once she had asked Ji Chicheng, and he had said he’d barely seen her a few tis himself.
"Young lady, hello."
Still astonished, Qi Xiaoxiao spoke first, greeting her in a very official manner.
Ji Anning was still sowhat stunned, she nodded and said, "Ah... Auntie, hello."
"Don’t be nervous, I just ca to see how you were," said Qi Xiaoxiao, revealing a warm and graceful smile to Ji Anning. Then she stepped in, walking past Ji Anning towards the sofa.
"Uh!"
Ca to see her? Ji Anning turned around, puzzled by the middle-aged woman who was now sitting by the sofa.
Confused by her words, why would Qi’s mother co to see her?
