I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 1028: Life Is So Long, Let’s Just Forget It (Part 1)

However, the Princess apparently had no experience in cursing, repeating the same few phrases over and over until people’s ears almost formed calluses.

Ji Yebai ignored this completely, holding his breath and focusing intently, cautiously escorting Anna towards the waiter step by step.

"Princess, didn’t expect you’d have a day like this!" The waiter sneered, reaching out to take Anna away!

At the critical moment, Ji Yebai made his move!

A punch hit the opponent’s abdomen, and taking advantage of the severe pain, he used a grappling move to seize the man’s wrist.

With a clatter, the gun fell to the ground, skidding far away.

"Anna! Grab the gun!" Ji Yebai was entangled in a fight with the man. This shout woke Anna up. She scrambled and crawled to pick up the gun, aiming it at the man!

The little princess, having been trained in shooting skills, fired and successfully hit the man’s calf!

"Hands up! Or I’ll continue!" Anna shouted loudly. Under the dual pressure of Ji Yebai’s attack and Anna’s armed stance, the man wisely chose to surrender.

The restaurant’s security swarmed in, subdued him, and took him away.

For a moment, only Anna and Ji Yebai were left in the hall.

Anna cluelessly clutched her skirt hem, "Ji Yebai..."

She misunderstood him. He wanted to save her and took the risk by choosing this method.

"It’s good you’re okay, no need to thank me." Ji Yebai said indifferently, taking a faltering step, his left chest aching faintly.

While injuring the man, he inevitably took a couple of blows himself.

"Ji Yebai! I’m hurt, take me to the hospital!" Anna stopped him. Ji Yebai turned around, and she pointed to a small scratch on her arm with a look of exaggerated astonishment.

Ji Yebai frowned, "My wife is waiting for me at home."

The implication: My wife needs me, I must go back to her.

Anna’s eyes twinkled, and she said softly, "If you take me to the hospital, I’ll let you see Dr. Sean."

This condition tempted Ji Yebai.

He stood there with one hand in his pocket, coolly like a tall pine.

After much contemplation, his thin lips moved: "You better keep your word."

...

Hospital.

When Ning Xixi woke up, Ou Fengyi was by the bed, reading a magazine.

"You’re awake, how do you feel?"

"Alright... my head hurts a bit, what happened to me?"

Ou Fengyi patiently explained, "The doctor examined you and said it’s a mild concussion, likely caused by a rear-end car accident. You need to rest quietly for a while."

"It’s okay, isn’t it? I’m fine, right?" Ning Xixi pulled a slight smile, "Can I go home?"

She really disliked the hospital atmosphere.

Sullen and quiet, as if one could feel life and time constantly slipping away.

"I’ve asked the doctor, you can." Ou Fengyi said gently, "Jacks went to handle the paperwork, let me help you downstairs."

"Okay, thank you."

"You’re welcome."

Ou Fengyi helped her into the elevator.

During the descent, the elevator seemed to malfunction, shaking violently. Ou Fengyi immediately took Ning Xixi into his arms, "Close your eyes, take a deep breath, don’t be afraid, leave it to me."

His warm voice seemed to have an invisible magic, calming people down.

As if aided by divine intervention, the elevator, though shaky, arrived smoothly at the first floor.

Beep—the elevator door opened, and Ji Yebai looked up, seeing the scene inside, his eyebrows shot up suddenly.
