I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 922: Loving You, My Utter Defeat 8

The servant was frightened by her sharp and venomous demeanor and tremblingly retreated.

Xu Liuli ignored the mess on the ground and collapsed onto it, wrapping her arms around herself.

The last time she won Wen Sinian’s concern through suicide, but ever since the TV station competition incident last time, he has inexplicably distanced himself from her. Today, her father slapped her hard, leaving a bright red palm print on her face.

"I made you my daughter to marry you into the Wen Family! Don’t think that just because you’ve been a phoenix for a few days, you’ve forgotten your origins as a wild chicken! If the marriage falls through... I warn you, I can give you wealth and glory, but I can also make you die without a corpse!"

Xu Liuli, no, she should be called Dong Yingluo, her whole body trembled, yet she dared not cry out loud.

Her face was surgically enhanced, with many fillers. If she couldn’t control herself, those fillers might leak...

Ning Xixi, why is your life so good? And I, after exhausting all my efforts, still can’t see the light of day?

The flames of jealousy in her eyes burned fiercely. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

...

At the entrance of the Ji Family.

Ji Yebai got out of the car, and there he was, confronted by a tall figure.

He leaned against the wall, the dim streetlight casting shadows on his profile.

With just a glance, Ji Yebai recognized him as the boy with the white mask from tonight!

He walked over leisurely, and upon seeing him, Qiao Nancheng hesitated slightly, then despondently said, "I-I will leave now."

Ji Yebai sneered coldly and unceremoniously punched him!

Qiao Nancheng didn’t dodge. In his heart, he felt Ji Yebai hitting him was what he deserved.

"What happened tonight, Ning Xi doesn’t know. It’s best that he never finds out." Ji Yebai’s tone was vicious: "Don’t covet my woman!"

Qiao Nancheng wiped his mouth, his fingertips stained with blood. He blurredly recalled that moment: the girl’s exquisite face was so close, her cherry-red lips were moist and glistening...

But he didn’t even have the courage to kiss her—in the end, even in desperation, he only managed to kiss his own hand pressed against her lip corner.

Ning Xixi, loving you, I’ve fallen completely.

But you don’t know, you know nothing. May you never know someone like me once liked you.

"I know." Qiao Nancheng watched their shadows, his and Ji Yebai’s, "Take good care of her."

"Get lost." Ji Yebai unceremoniously issued a dismissal.

Qiao Nancheng smiled bitterly, then stepped forward.

Ring-ring-ring—

His phone suddenly rang, sounding unusually loud in the quiet night.

Seeing it was Ning Xixi calling, Qiao Nancheng quickly answered, "Wh-What’s up?"

"Qiaoqiao, where are you? I made a date with Youyan, we’re going to eat skewers and drink cola~ just at our usual old spot..." Ning Xixi’s cheerful voice came from the receiver, but Qiao Nancheng felt there was something off. He turned around to see Ning Xixi hopping down the steps of the Ji Family, and upon seeing Ji Yebai and Qiao Nancheng by the roadside, she froze!

What’s going on?

"Ahem... ahem..." She awkwardly hung up the phone and looked at Ji Yebai, "Aren’t you at the hospital?"

"Weren’t you asleep?" Ji Yebai raised an eyebrow.

Ning Xixi had the feeling of being caught red-handed in a lie, she gnawed on her finger, "Couldn’t sleep... got up for a midnight snack..."

Ji Yebai’s narrow eyes squinted, gazing at her with an unfathomable look, "I’ve just realized, you and Qiao Nancheng have such a good relationship."

Ning Xixi: ... Crap! Dabai is jealous, ahhhhh!
