Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Lifting a Rock Only to Drop It on One’s Own Feet 4

Ning Xixi on the other end of the phone was startled, and before she could speak, the call was abruptly hung up.

The private room was buzzing with conjecture: "Do you think Ning Xixi will come?"

"It’s hard to say, what if she doesn’t come..."

Hearing this, Ji Yebai’s expression darkened, his gaze sharp and cold.

What was he still hoping for? Ridiculous.

He lifted his glass to his lips and slowly took a sip...

Ma Yiqing thought gleefully that now, he and Ning Xixi were definitely over for good!

Just as everyone assumed Ning Xixi wouldn’t show up, Ji Yebai’s phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed, it was Ning Xixi!

"Holy shit!" Xiao Xichen rubbed his eyes, "It really is Ning Xixi!"

He pressed the answer button and switched to speakerphone. Immediately, Ning Xixi’s sweet voice came through, "Hello, I’ve arrived at Miankong Bar, could you please tell me which private room the owner of this phone is in?"

Everyone in the room was stunned!

Xiao Xichen waved his hand, gesturing everyone to keep quiet, then cleared his throat, "1314."

"Alright."

Two minutes later, there was a knock at the door, and everyone’s gaze swiftly turned toward the entrance.

The door opened.

Before their eyes was a small face etched with worry and concern, wearing a plaid pleated skirt and a black coat, her hair draped over her shoulders, shining bright in the dim light!

Instantly, the room erupted with excitement!

Ning Xixi had actually come!

The crowd began to stir restlessly, but Ning Xixi looked around in astonishment, as if she hadn’t expected so many people to be there.

She greeted everyone politely and then walked over to Ji Yebai, asking softly, "Are you okay?"

Ji Yebai’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his lashes quivered, but he was silent.

She came?

"Are you drunk? Do you feel unwell anywhere?" Ning Xixi waved her hand in front of his eyes to catch his attention, thinking he was truly drunk seeing Ji Yebai’s expressionless face.

She fished out the juice and medicine she had bought on her way and blinked her dewy eyes, "Take the hangover medicine, then drink some juice... Here, this is for you."

Ji Yebai’s deep black eyes were fixed intently on her.

It was really her.

She even bought these things for him...

Ning Xixi tilted her head, noticing he had yet to take them, and said with realization, "Too drunk, perhaps? Come now, Dabai kiddo, I’m not a bad person. Open your mouth for candy, come on, ah..."

The others in the room nearly had their eyeballs popping out, Emma, was this woman treating Mr. Ji like a child?

Ma Yiqing’s eyes burned with jealousy, unable to resist making a sarcastic comment, "Ning Xixi, weren’t you having hotpot with Qiao Nancheng? Coming here to find Mr. Ji after leaving him, aren’t you afraid that Qiao Nancheng will be heartbroken?"

"Heartbroken?" Ning Xixi’s eyes were filled with confusion, "Why would Qiaoqiao be heartbroken?"

"Ning Xixi, what are you pretending not to know for? You’ve abandoned Mr. Ji for him, Ning Xixi, are you blind?" Ma Yiqing pressed on aggressively, intent on making Ning Xixi uncomfortable.

"Blind or not, what’s it to you?" Ning Xixi had realized this was all a nasty prank, probably arranged just to mock her, and her mood turned even more sullen and low, "Think whatever you want about me. Oh right, with so many of you here, there’s no worry about who will take Mr. Ji home, so I won’t be interfering needlessly!"

She was ready to leave, grabbing her bag, but her wrist was seized by a forceful, tight grip!
