Chapter 79 Drink More Hot Water

"Scared?" A playful glint flashed in Chi Jun'an's eyes. "Or what do you expect me to do?"

"Who said I'm scared!" Ji Xiaonuan quickly closed her eyes.

But she immediately regretted it.

Why did she become so stupid whenever she was with Chi Jun'an? She actually let his激将法 succeed again and again.

Forget it. Since she had already closed her eyes, it would be a bit pretentious to open them now.

But what was Chi Jun'an going to do? He couldn't really give her those postgraduate entrance examination questions, could he?

Ji Xiaonuan waited for a while. Suddenly, she felt a soft touch on her lips.

She quickly opened her eyes and saw Chi Jun'an standing in front of her with a gentle smile.

"Why did you kiss me secretly?" Ji Xiaonuan's cheeks turned red.

"How can it be called a secret kiss?" Chi Jun'an smiled tenderly. "You kept your eyes closed and refused to open them. I thought you were expecting me to kiss you."

"I didn't!" Ji Xiaonuan said angrily. Suddenly, she looked down in surprise and found a unique amulet around her neck.

But it felt a bit heavy, and she didn't know what was inside.

"Is this for me?" she asked in surprise. "Yeah." Chi Jun'an nodded. "A Christmas present."

Ji Xiaonuan was curious and was about to open it.

"The amulet won't work if you open it." he reminded.

"Oh." Ji Xiaonuan immediately stopped. "Why did you suddenly think of giving me an amulet?"

"When I was on a business trip, I heard others say that the amulets from the nearby temple are especially effective, so I got one for you by the way." Chi Jun'an said calmly.

"Thank you." Ji Xiaonuan smiled happily and put the amulet close to her body.

It was just an amulet, and Ji Xiaonuan quite liked it, so she accepted it. However, she never expected that this amulet would actually save her life later.

Chi Jun'an let out a barely noticeable sigh of relief.

What he wanted to give was not the amulet, but the thing hidden inside it. Because if he gave it directly, Ji Xiaonuan might not accept it, so he could only hide it in the amulet.

After dinner, Ji Xiaonuan was already a little tipsy.

"Stay here and sleep." Chi Jun'an said gently.

He didn't expect that Ji Xiaonuan's alcohol tolerance would be so low.

There was a charming blush on her face, but she firmly shook her head. "No, take me back..."

Chi Jun'an's eyes flashed. This little girl still didn't trust him very much.

"Okay." he agreed.

Chi Jun'an drove her back to Q University. Before coming back, he specifically called Xu Wenwen and asked her to come downstairs to pick up Ji Xiaonuan.

Seeing that she was safely upstairs, Chi Jun'an felt relieved. As soon as he got into the car, he received a call from Han Siyuan.

"What's the matter, Siyuan?" he asked indifferently.

It was so late, and Han Siyuan was calling, so there must be something urgent.

"President, it's about the Yang family." Han Siyuan said.

Chi Jun'an's eyes darkened slightly.

After he left the hospital, he had already arranged for someone to keep a close eye on the people of the Yang family. He knew very well that since the Yang family didn't get any benefits from him this time, they definitely wouldn't give up easily.

"What has Yang Guomao done?" he asked in a deep voice.

Han Siyuan hesitated for a moment. "He has contacted a lot of people and is looking for the materials from that year. It seems that he is preparing to search for the missing daughter of the Chi family..."

Chi Jun'an's eyebrows raised slightly.

Why did Yang Guomao suddenly think of this matter?

After a moment of thought, he quickly guessed Yang Guomao's plan.

Chi Jun'an's fingers tapped on the steering wheel. He asked in a low voice, "Siyuan, has the result of the paternity test between Xiaoxi and her parents come out?"

"It has already come out. Miss Ji has no blood relationship with the Ji family at all." Han Siyuan paused. Finally, he couldn't help asking, "President, is Miss Ji really... her?"

"In this world, there can't be such a coincidental birthmark." Chi Jun'an's eyes narrowed slightly. The birthmark on Ji Xiaonuan's chest was almost exactly the same as that in the photo.

He had confirmed it several times when he was helping her take a bath before. Whether it was the position or the shape, they were all exactly the same.

However, now Yang Guomao had actually started to investigate this matter.

He absolutely couldn't let anyone find out that Ji Xiaonuan was the daughter of the Chi family who was missing all those years ago! This identity would only bring her danger.

Before he could ensure her safety, he would help her conceal her identity.

"Siyuan, keep an eye on the Yang family. They might take desperate measures. It's best to find their handle before that happens." Chi Jun'an's fingers that were tapping on the steering wheel suddenly stopped. "Also, make arrangements. I'm going on a business trip tomorrow."

Han Siyuan immediately agreed.

Chi Jun'an didn't expect that this business trip would last for more than half a month. However, he found time to talk to Ji Xiaonuan on the phone every day. Ji Xiaonuan was just approaching the final exams, and she devoted all her energy to the exams.

Yang Wanrong, of course, wouldn't stop causing trouble. She attempted suicide twice, but as soon as she learned that Chi Jun'an had gone on a business trip to another place, she became much more obedient.

After the final exams, Ji Xiaonuan unexpectedly caught a cold.

She was lying in bed, feeling sick and sleepy. But in a daze, her phone rang.

Ji Xiaonuan pressed the answer button. "Who is it?"

"It's me." Chi Jun'an said in a low voice. "Xiaoxi, I heard that you are on vacation today. Can you leave the school?"

"Yeah." Ji Xiaonuan replied listlessly. "Wenwen and Lin Xin have already gone home."

"Then when are you going to leave?" Chi Jun'an's voice became a bit gentler. "You promised before that you would move to my place during the vacation. Should I send someone to pick you up?"

Ji Xiaonuan was drowsy. She didn't expect that Chi Jun'an would actually remember this.

Clearly, he hadn't mentioned it at all in the past half month. Ji Xiaonuan thought he had already forgotten about it. Now that he suddenly asked, she didn't know how to answer.

After waiting for a long time, Chi Jun'an suddenly asked, "Xiaoxi, are you not feeling well?" "Ah? You can tell?" Ji Xiaonuan felt a bit ashamed. "It's not a big deal. Maybe it's because of the change in the weather these days, and I caught a cold."

"Why are you so careless?" Chi Jun'an paused. Then he suddenly smiled and said, "At this time, should I say drink more hot water?"

Ji Xiaonuan was almost annoyed into a laugh, but she felt a bit wronged in her heart. "Do you think hot water can cure all diseases?"

She was feeling sick now, and Chi Jun'an only told her to drink more hot water?

She felt a bit sour in her heart. When she was sick, she was already vulnerable, and now Ji Xiaonuan felt that Chi Jun'an was really not considerate at all.

"You're right." Chi Jun'an agreed. "Hot water really can't cure all diseases. Open the door."

Ji Xiaonuan was stunned.

What did Chi Jun'an say in the end?

Was she so sick that she was already having auditory hallucinations?

A sigh came from the phone receiver. Then, at the same time, there was a knock on the door both in her ear and on the phone.

"Is this for real?" Ji Xiaonuan said in surprise.
