I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With
Chapter 114 Engagement 1

Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Engagement 1

Ji Yebai stood up and walked to the balcony, pressing the answer button.

From the phone came the soft and deep voice of Ning’s father: "Is that Yebai?"

"Um."

Ning’s father made some small talk about family affairs before getting to the point: "I’ve been troubling you to take care of Xixi these days, has she caused you any trouble?"

Ji Yebai massaged his temples: "No."

"Then I’m relieved." Ning’s father seemed to sigh with relief, then his tone became cautious and probing: "Did she ever mention to you, things like missing me?"

Without waiting for Ji Yebai to answer, he continued to speak for himself: "Hahaha, I’m just saying. Right, you also know about Xixi’s academic performance, it’s tough to get into a good university domestically, and I’m planning to let her study abroad in Country E. But... I’m afraid she won’t agree, so, by then, I’ll have to ask you to help me persuade her."

Ji Yebai suddenly clenched his phone tightly!

Ning’s father was still rambling: "Getting a gold plating abroad, once she comes back home, even if she doesn’t want to work at my company, she can still find a good job... Yebai, are you listening?"

"Sorry, I have something else, I’m hanging up now."

After ending the call, Ji Yebai’s expression was murky and unpredictable.

Study abroad...

He lowered his eyelids, concealing the desolation in his eyes.

He returned to the living room, rummaged through a drawer, and pulled out a pack of cigarettes, taking it to the balcony.

He lit up, placing the cigarette between his lips.

Surrounded by the curling smoke, the nicotine helped him calm down a bit.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

......

Muying High School.

Ye Qian Xing hid in the changing room, nervous and sweating cold sweat at the thought of Ji Yebai’s threat.

With a clang, someone pushed open the door, startling her to recoil immediately!

Ma Yiqing, with her arms crossed, looked down at her with a mocking smile: "You can’t even handle such a small matter, Ye Qianxing, do you not want the money?"

Ye Qianxing shook her head frantically: "It’s not like that, Sister Yiqing... I..."

Slap—

A harsh slap landed on Ye Qianxing’s face, but Ye Qianxing didn’t dare to retaliate, her eyes welling up with tears: "I was wrong..."

Ma Yiqing glanced at her: "I’m giving you one week’s time, if you can’t drive Ning Xixi away from Young Master Ji, then..."

She deliberately paused, her laughter carrying a deeper meaning.

Ye Qianxing clenched her fists: "I’ll figure it out!"

The last time Ye Jiaojiao’s plan to kidnap Ning Xixi was also orchestrated by her, and taking photos was at her command.

But not achieving the expected results, she could only... continue.

......

Ning Xixi didn’t know how long she had soaked in the water, the water becoming colder and colder, and she finally sobered up, wiped away her tears, took off her soaking wet clothes, put on a set of Ji Yebai’s clothes, and stepped out of the bathroom.

Just as she walked out, she froze.

In the living room... why were there so many people?

Ji’s father, Ji’s mother, Miaomiao, the butler, the maid, the assistant, a bunch of people surrounded Ji Yebai in the middle, and when they saw her coming out, they immediately pushed Ji Yebai toward her.

Ji Yebai wore a headache-ridden expression: "Mom, it’s really not what you think..."

"Rascal! How did I bring you up! You’ve spent the night with Xixi and still want to shirk responsibility?" Ji’s mother was standing with hands on her hips, speaking sternly.

Miaomiao, hugging Ji’s mother’s leg, made a face at Ji Yebai: "Brother is so bashful! Not a good brother!"

Ji Yebai: "..."

Ning Xixi belatedly realized something, did Ji’s mother and the others... misunderstand something?
