CHAPTER 669: CHAPTER 669: THE ONE LYING NEXT TO ME CAN ONLY BE NING XI

After tossing and turning for most of the night, Ning Xixi fell asleep from exhaustion. Ji Yebai tucked her in and then went to sit on the doorstep, lighting a cigarette.

He did not smoke, letting the ash burn freely, the pale blue flame glimmering in the night.

"Young Master, I don’t understand, you clearly should have broken up with Miss Ning!" Ji Yao stood beside him, his voice lowered to a roar.

Ji Yebai squinted at him, "Why should I break up with Ning Xixi? Ji Yao, since when is it your place to tell me what to do?"

"I wouldn’t dare." Ji Yao frowned, "It’s just that, you and Miss Ning have the same clan..."

"Shut up!" Ji Yebai coldly rebuked, "Ji Yao, you should know how much I trust you. So far, it’s only you and I who know this. You better keep this secret to yourself! Don’t force my hand!"

Ji Yao clenched his teeth, silently praying in his heart, Young Master, everything I do is for your own good!

Please don’t blame me!

...

The next day, the morning light filled the entire city.

Early in the morning, the doorbell rang abruptly, making quite a racket.

Ji Yebai opened the door, only to see Yan Yichen standing outside looking exhausted with dark circles under his eyes.

"What happened to you?"

"Damn it! I’ve been calling you all morning but you didn’t pick up; turns out you hid here."

"I turned on silent mode, didn’t want to wake Ning Xixi," Ji Yebai glanced at him, "Come in and we’ll talk."

Yan Yichen walked into the living room, plopped down on the sofa, loosened his tie, and said despairingly, "What would you do if you woke up and found a woman lying next to you?"

Ji Yebai poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, cool and collected, "The one lying next to me would only be Ning Xixi. I’ve been used to sleeping with her since we were kids. I’d just keep holding her and go back to sleep."

Yan Yichen: "..."

Damn, he shouldn’t have come here to torture himself!

"Can’t you live a day without showing off your love?" Yan Yichen said exasperatedly, pinching the bridge of his nose, "I think I slept with Xixi’s friend..."

"Who? Yuran? Be careful Xiao Xichen doesn’t fight you over it." Ji Yebai, enjoying the commotion, continued to drink his water.

"If it were Yuran, it would actually be easier to handle... That girl is so infatuated, I could probably bluff my way through..."

"Then who did you sleep with?"

"Jian Yixue."

"You’re truly a beast." Ji Yebai flipped him off.

"I didn’t want to!" Thinking of Jian Yixue’s delicate face, Yan Yichen felt a headache coming on. He glanced at Ji Yebai, regaining some confidence, "And you talk about me being a beast! Look at all the bite marks on your arms and neck, damn, Xixi bit you, right? She’s so petite, can she handle your torment?"

"It’s the spice of being an old married couple, what would you know."

Yan Yichen: ...!!

Although annoyed by Ji Yebai flaunting his relationship, as a good friend, Yan Yichen could sense something was off with Ji Yebai.

"What’s going on between you and Xixi?"

"I’ve locked her up."

"What?" Yan Yichen jumped up from the sofa, the usually mild-mannered him cursing out loud, "F*ck! Ji Yebai, what are you playing at? Have you lost your mind doing this!"

Out of nowhere, Ji Yao appeared, his voice somber, "Sir Yan, Miss Ning’s biological father is Mr. Ji Qing, meaning she and our young master are from the same clan. Please advise him, his relationship with Miss Ning goes against moral principles!"
