Chapter 96 We'll Meet Again Soon

"Don't drink it!" Chi Jun'an raised his eyebrows and quickly snatched the cup from Ji Xiaonuan's hand.

Ji Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment. After a moment of reflection, she said, "Was what I just drank wine?"

"Yeah." Chi Jun'an nodded helplessly.

This little girl who could get drunk even from drinking fruit wine would probably be drunk for a long time this time.

"What should we do now?" Ji Xiaonuan asked blankly. She didn't want to make a scene while drunk in front of so many people.

"Come on, let's go home." Chi Jun'an gently took her hand.

The two of them bid farewell to Professor Wang and then walked out of the living room together.

Just as they stepped down the stairs, Ji Xiaonuan suddenly sprained her foot. Fortunately, Chi Jun'an was beside her and caught her.

"Is the effect of the alcohol kicking in?" Chi Jun'an asked helplessly.

"It seems so. I'm a bit dizzy." Ji Xiaonuan replied truthfully, and her cheeks were somewhat flushed.

Chi Jun'an let out a soft sigh. He slightly bent down and said, "Come on, I'll carry you on my back."

"No need. I'm not injured..." Ji Xiaonuan replied somewhat shyly.

"Same old rule. You can choose between being carried on my back or being carried in my arms." Chi Jun'an said calmly.

Ji Xiaonuan was speechless for a moment and then climbed onto his back.

"You still haven't answered my question." She remembered the question she had asked before.

"Yeah." Chi Jun'an nodded.

"What do you mean by 'yeah'?" Ji Xiaonuan asked angrily and curiously.

"It means I admit it." Chi Jun'an said calmly.

"Why are you being so tough on her?" She was confused.

"Because she wants to bully you." Chi Jun'an explained indifferently.

Ji Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment. Although she was a bit slow-witted due to the alcohol, she was still able to figure out some things.

"She's so bad!" Ji Xiaonuan was furious. Suddenly, looking at Chi Jun'an who was carrying her, she felt an inexplicable sweetness in her heart. The next moment, she gently blew a breath into Chi Jun'an's ear and said, "Chi Jun'an, you're so nice~"

It was as if a faint current spread from his ear. Chi Jun'an's body suddenly stiffened.

This girl was seducing him again while being drunk! He gritted his teeth in anger.

Chi Jun'an quickened his pace. When he reached the car, he opened the car door and put Ji Xiaonuan inside.

Then, he got into the car and kissed Ji Xiaonuan passionately.

Not far away, Yang Wanrong was hiding in her own car, gritting her teeth in hatred!

After she came out, she originally wanted to leave, but she just couldn't accept it. So she had been waiting there, wanting to ask Chi Jun'an for an explanation when he came out. But she had witnessed with her own eyes Chi Jun'an carrying Ji Xiaonuan on his back! Their intimate appearance was like knives stabbing directly into her heart!

Yang Wanrong clenched her palms tightly. Her fingernails dug into her flesh, but she didn't even feel the pain!

Watching Chi Jun'an's car drive away, the hatred in Yang Wanrong's heart grew even stronger.

Time passed quickly, and finally, it was the Spring Festival. The Chi Corporation also had a holiday. Chi Jun'an had already booked a plane ticket for Ji Xiaonuan to return to City S in advance.

Chi Jun'an drove Ji Xiaonuan directly to the airport. Looking at the bustling crowd in the airport, Chi Jun'an couldn't help but frown.

"Be careful on the way." He reminded.

"Got it, got it." Ji Xiaonuan said with a smile. At the moment, she was so excited about going home to see her parents that she didn't pay much attention to what Chi Jun'an was saying.

"Don't think that just because you know a little bit of martial arts, you can ignore your safety." Chi Jun'an raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Why are you being so naggy? You're almost as naggy as my mom," Ji Xiaonuan said with a touch of annoyance. She raised her wrist to check the time. "I won't talk to you more. I'm going to board the plane. Don't miss me too much... Mmm!"

Before she could finish her words, Ji Xiaonuan was pulled into his arms, and a passionate kiss landed on her lips.

Ji Xiaonuan's heart softened. She wouldn't be able to see Chi Jun'an for several days. Even Aunt Zhang had gone back to her hometown for the Spring Festival, leaving him alone in the capital city for the festival. At this moment of separation, she decided to humor him.

Chi Jun'an released her in surprise.

Ji Xiaonuan affectionately wrapped her arms around his neck and said gently, "Chi Jun'an, I'm just going back for the Spring Festival. Don't worry. We'll meet again soon."

Chi Jun'an's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said with a half-smile, "Yes, we'll meet again soon."

Ji Xiaonuan was a bit surprised. Why did Chi Jun'an suddenly repeat what she had said? However, she didn't think too much about it.

After saying goodbye to Chi Jun'an, Ji Xiaonuan boarded the plane.

Looking at the floating white clouds outside the window, she suddenly felt something strange in her heart.

How could this be? Ji Xiaonuan smiled bitterly.

She had just separated from Chi Jun'an, and yet she was actually... starting to miss him. Even the joy of going home had faded a bit.

Forget it. It was just a few days' vacation, and she would be back soon.

A few hours later, Ji Xiaonuan arrived at the airport in City S.

Her father, Ji Haifeng, had already been waiting outside the airport. Ji Xiaonuan saw him from a distance and happily ran over to give him a big hug. "Dad!" Ji Xiaonuan happily looked into the car and asked, "Where's Mom?"

"You little girl," Ji Haifeng tapped her on the head in dissatisfaction. "You come back and the first thing you think of is looking for your mom. It's me, your dad, who came all the way here to pick you up with so much effort!"

"I just didn't see Mom, so I asked about her." Ji Xiaonuan stuck out her tongue.

"She's at home, busy cooking delicious food for you," Ji Haifeng said with a smile. "Come on, you can have a taste as soon as you get home. She can't bear to let you go hungry even for a moment."

Ji Xiaonuan happily got into the car, and soon they arrived home.

As soon as they entered the house, they indeed smelled the rich aroma of the food.

Ji Xiaonuan gave her mother, He Rou, a big hug and then rushed straight to the table. Just as she was about to pick up the chopsticks, she saw He Rou pick up the chopsticks first and give a smack on Ji Xiaonuan's hand. "Go wash your hands first."

Ji Xiaonuan obediently went to wash her hands.

The three of them sat down at the dining table. Ji Xiaonuan bit her chopsticks and asked, "Is my brother really not coming back this year?"

"He's a grown man in his twenties. He should go out and make a good career for himself. What's the point of always sticking around at home?" Ji Haifeng said.

Seeing that He Rou also nodded in agreement, Ji Xiaonuan was somewhat speechless. She really doubted whether her brother was their biological child. Why did her parents seem to be so laissez-faire with him? But they doted on her and were willing to give her everything in the world.

"Try the chicken soup I made." He Rou placed the filled bowl of chicken soup in front of her.

"By the way, Xiaonuan, you're almost graduating. Have you got a boyfriend?" Ji Haifeng suddenly asked.

"Cough, cough—" Ji Xiaonuan was drinking the chicken soup and was choked so that she couldn't speak.

"So, is it yes or no?" Ji Haifeng asked persistently.

"...No." Ji Xiaonuan blushed and lied.

"Xiaonuan is still young. Why the rush?" He Rou patted him disapprovingly. She looked at Xiaonuan affectionately and said, "It's okay, my dear daughter. You don't have to worry. Even if you don't find a boyfriend, our family can support you for a lifetime."
