Those words came from the bottom of her heart. Even if she was guiltless and they were once deeply in love with each other, she did not want to hear his explanation. Because as long as two people were still together, cheating was cheating, and there was no reason to condone infidelity.
Let alone when they were…
“Anan, it’s all my fault. You can hit me or punish me, but don’t take it out on yourself, okay?” Ji Jingfeng embraced Ji Anning heedlessly.
As he hugged her shivering little body, he buried his face into her nape and apologized profusely.
Even if she just slept with another man, thinking about the state Ji Jingfeng and Bai Guo were in in the room, still felt Ji Anning inexplicably disgusted, so she pushed him, “Jingfeng, can you please leave me alone?”
It was not his sexual misconduct, which she found repugnant, but his act of being intimate with another woman before turning around to be affectionate with another one.
Embracing her tightly, Ji Jingfeng refused to let go. “Anan.”
Ji Anning gave up pushing him. Reaching out to wipe her tears, she choked and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t tell Mom or anyone else when I get home.”
Was that not his greatest worry?
Whenever he arrived home late or stayed out overnight, he got her to lie for him each time. She used to believe he was occupied with those matters back then.
In hindsight, he was probably lying to her.
“Anan!”
As Ji Anning got to the heart of Ji Jingfeng’s concerns, he felt as though he was stripped bare of all clothing, and was standing bare naked before her.
His mouth gaped, but he was too ashamed to face her.
Despite the fountain water cascading down on him, his face still felt burning hot.
After Ji Anning used both her hands to wipe her tears, she raised her head to look at Ji Jingfeng while doing her utmost to suppress the choking, “Just go. I only want to be alone for a while.”
Although she sounded frustrated and exhausted, she stubbornly insisted.
Ji Jingfeng powerlessly pursed his lips, “I’ll wait for you over at the flowerbed.”
As he spoke, he stood up steadily. After lowering his head to gaze at Ji Anning for a while, he let out a helpless gentle, “Sigh,” before turning to walk out of the fountain.
Watching Ji Jingfeng from behind as he went further and further away, under cover of the noisy fountain, Ji Anning wailed out loud once again.
“Can I cry just this once?”
She wanted to cry in secret when he was not looking just once. From then on, she would not cry regardless of the wrongdoing she experienced.
In the future, she would continue being strong because she probably had to leave the Jis sooner or later and face the society on her own.
So she must be tougher.
“Anning.”
As Ji Anning sobbed and choked, she suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting for her. Raising her head in surprise while she cried, she turned and glanced towards that voice, “Danning.”
Yang Danning rushed into the fountain and was already next to Ji Anning. Seeing Ji Anning huddling like this appearing so lonely and sad, she got a huge shock. Bending over swiftly, she grabbed her by the arm to pull her up, “What are you doing? Come out with me quickly.”
Ji Anning lost all obstinacy as she let Yang Danning drag her off.
Since Yang Danning had come looking for her, she could only stop crying and go off with her.
“Why are you here?” Ji Anning wiped her tears as she asked Yang Danning.
Before Yang Danning managed to reply, a familiar tall silhouette strode towards her quickly, making her heart shudder swiftly. Under the dim hotel entrance lights, her little face became ghastly pale.
