Chapter 55: Chapter 055: Openly Pursuing Ning Xixi

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qianxing trembled like falling leaves in the autumn wind, her face filled with disbelief as she looked at Ji Yebai.

Yes, the slap just now was indeed done by herself, then she framed Ning Xixi.

"I, I..." She opened her mouth, trying to explain, but Ji Yebai glanced at Ning Xixi and said, "What are you waiting for, come and slap her!"

Ning Xixi was also shocked, and after thinking it through, it indeed was the case. If Ji Yebai hadn’t seen through it instantly, she wouldn’t have known to what extent this little white flower would have schemed against her!

Not far away, Gong Xiu elegantly put away his dinner plate, his gaze swept across them nonchalantly, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a smile.

He had witnessed the entire process.

There were many ways to expose that girl, but Ji Yebai chose the most straightforward and brutal one.

But, it was the most effective!

However, this required a deep understanding of Ning Xixi to make such a judgment.

Ning Xixi cleared her throat, "Forget it, I don’t want to dirty my hands by hitting her."

Ji Yebai didn’t insist, his disdainful gaze swept over Ye Qianxing, "Beware of your actions! Remember, Ning Xixi is not someone you can scheme against!"

Originally, Ye Qianxing’s tears were forcibly squeezed out, but now she was genuinely frightened into tears, shrinking into a ball, "I, I didn’t do anything..."

Ji Yebai disdained to deal with such a girl, walked over to Ning Xixi, and said with a cool expression, "Let’s go to the infirmary."

His tone was imperious and authoritative.

Ning Xixi didn’t like him acting this way, puffed her cheeks, "I’m fine, no need for the infirmary. I haven’t finished my meal yet!"

Shit!

Ji Yebai’s face soured, and he sat down next to Ning Xixi with his long legs.

As Ning Xixi just stuffed a piece of braised pork into her mouth, seeing him staring at her, she mumbled unclearly, "What’s wrong?"

"I want to eat too!"

"Didn’t you already have your meal?" She bought so much yet it still wasn’t enough for him?

"Did you forget something?" Ji Yebai narrowed his eyes threateningly.

Ning Xixi, not fully satiated, was in a bad mood, glaring at him, "Right! I forgot! I am a fish, with only a seven-second memory, I don’t remember anything you said or did!"

The little girl is actually challenging him?

The rage around Ji Yebai almost materialized, like a fuse on dynamite, ready to explode at any moment.

Just when the standoff between the two seemed unresolved, a tall and upright figure slowly approached, flashing Ning Xixi a charming smile.

His handsome features and enigmatic aura seemed to dazzle the very essence of time with a smile.

"Ning Xixi, I have something to say to you. Can you come over for a moment?" Gong Xiu asked elegantly.

Ning Xixi bit her lip, her feelings towards Gong Xiu were complex.

On one hand, she hated that he used her, but on the other, the secret love of three years wasn’t something she could give up so easily.

"Not convenient!" A cold voice made the decision for Ning Xixi directly.

Gong Xiu’s gaze shifted to Ji Yebai, "Second Young Master Ji, don’t you think you’re meddling a bit too much? As far as I know, you and Ning Xixi have already broken up."

Ji Yebai’s face visibly darkened, "What’s it to you?"

"Of course, it’s my business." With a flutter of his peach blossom eyes, he said earnestly, "If you were together, I would have kept my distance from Ning Xixi. But now that you’re broken up, I can pursue her openly and rightfully."

Boom—

Ning Xixi felt as though she had been struck by a meteorite, otherwise, how could she hear Gong Xiu talking about chasing after her?
