Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1238 - 1240: Signs of Jealousy (Part 7)

These hypocritical words make Xin Xiaoxiao feel particularly disgusted; she wants to throw up.

Not wanting to listen to him anymore, she impatiently waves him off, "Alright, before the engagement, you have no right to interfere with my personal freedom. My dad wants you to reform me, but that has to wait until after marriage."

As she spoke, she tightened her hold on Qi Helian’s arm.

Zhong Qingyang, unwilling to give up, opened his mouth to say more, but Xin Xiaoxiao hit back with something even more damaging to his male pride, "I love to play around, my dad probably told you that a long time ago. You’re not unaware; even he wasn’t my first man. You better be prepared mentally."

"You..." Zhong Qingyang grits his teeth, glowering at Xin Xiaoxiao.

No man could tolerate such humiliation. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

In the shadows, the onlookers were all amazed by Xin Xiaoxiao’s behavior.

"I finally got to witness Xin Xiaoxiao’s prowess."

Ji Anning shakes her head, looking at Xin Xiaoxiao with admiration, "So cunning."

Just like she said, she loves to play, and her dad knows it. Even if Zhong Qingyang goes to her father to tattletale, Xiaoxiao’s father would probably just console him and brush him off.

Whether to marry her or not is still up to him.

Anyway, his daughter is like this; it’s up to you to see if you have the ability to control her after marriage.

"That fiancé seems pretty nice."

Ji Chicheng commented positively on Xin Xiaoxiao’s fiancé, "Good-looking."

Ji Anning scoffed, "Still miles behind compared to Qi Helian."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chicheng frowned, a pang of jealousy surged in him. He lowered his gaze and raised his eyebrows at Ji Anning, "Do I outrank him by thousands of miles in your eyes?"

Indirectly praising himself as better than Qi Helian.

Ji Anning immediately caught on and countered by raising her eyebrows at him, "Uncle, where do you get the confidence to outshine my brother Qi by hundreds of miles?"

Ji Chicheng didn’t want to hear Ji Anning praising Qi Helian. Even if he knew it was just banter, not even jokingly.

Anning could only praise her; in her eyes, he alone is outstanding.

He said, "Qi Helian pairs well with that little rascal; why don’t you just play matchmaker and make her your sister-in-law?"

Ji Anning nodded in agreement, "Xin Xiaoxiao might really be interested in my brother Qi. When she barged into the box earlier and dragged him away, she didn’t even hesitate."

As she spoke, her gaze swiftly swept over Xiang Yiqing’s face.

Xiang Yiqing stared at Xin Xiaoxiao over there with a look of disdain.

So...?

"What are you all standing here for?"

At this moment, Xin Xiaoxiao came over, holding Qi Helian’s arm.

Ji Anning collected her thoughts and smiled back at her, "Watching you and Qi Helian act."

"Watching isn’t free," Xin Xiaoxiao said, withdrawing her arm from the bend of Qi Helian’s elbow.

The distance between them immediately grew, along with the loss of intimacy.

After replying to Ji Anning, Xin Xiaoxiao turned to look at Xiang Yiqing, who was gazing down at her with a blank expression.

She glared at him fiercely, "What are you looking at? I almost got burned to death earlier."

She wouldn’t have remembered if not for mentioning it; now it hurts again. She frowned and quickly pursed her lips.

Xiang Yiqing rolled his eyes slightly at her, "Don’t you know to test the temperature when you drink water?"

Xin Xiaoxiao pouted, "You usually care so much, I thought you’d give me room temperature water. I overlooked that you weren’t paying attention to my water’s temperature then."
