Chapter 228 - 228 228 Are You Harbouring Bad Intentions
?Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Are You Harbouring Bad Intentions? Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Are You Harbouring Bad Intentions? Luo Ning furrowed her brows upon hearing this.
Although she did not sense that her mother and brother were in immediate danger, she couldn’t help but worry.
“What happened?”
Ji Xinghang replied, “Someone tried to assassinate Aunt Xin. Fortunately, you and she were prepared, and the assassin failed.”
“However, the talisman you drew for Xixi self-ignited, combined with dodging the assassin, he’s severely drained and is now very weak.”
Today, his mother dragged him along to help at Aunt Xin’s place.
They did not expect to encounter an assassin and then retreated into the mountains together, exhausting a lot of their energy.
Although everything was fine in the end, it was still a frightening ordeal.
After coming down from the mountain, Aunt Xin originally wanted to call Luo Ning, but he took the initiative to take on the task.
Luo Ning immediately knew who was responsible.
She asked, “My mom and Xixi weren’t injured, right?”
Ji Xinghang replied, “No, thankfully, the talisman you drew blocked it all. Moreover, Aunt Xin was prepared in advance and managed to deal with the assailant.”
Today, he also saw another side of Aunt Xin; he was truly shocked.
Hearing this, Luo Ning felt relieved.
She had always known what kind of people the Gou family mother and daughter were. Appearing in their sights, it was certain that scenarios of hiring killers from past lives would emerge.
Thus, she had spoken to her mother in advance and had drawn an amulet for both her mother and brother to wear.
She had also personally carved jade pendants with Spiritual Energy Arrays for them, guarding against bullets, truck collisions, and knife attacks; it was a double assurance.
Yet, she did not anticipate the adversary acting so swiftly.
Luo Ning said, “Where are you? I will come now.”
Ji Xinghang answered, “We are still on this side of the mountain; you can come over.”
He had not seen Luo Ning for several days and he missed her terribly.
“Yes, I’ll be there shortly.”
Luo Ning hung up the phone and reported an address to Ji Jiayi, “Please take me to this place.”
Ji Jiayi immediately set up the navigation and turned the car around, “Did something happen?”
He felt a chilly and hostile aura emanating from Luo Ning while she was on the phone.
Luo Ning said, “There’s been a bit of an issue with my mom and brother, so I’m going over to check.”
Ji Jiayi asked with concern, “What happened? Do you need my help?”
If Luo Ning’s family encountered any trouble in the Imperial Capital, he could still help resolve it.
Luo Ning smiled, “It’s nothing major, I’ll handle it here.”
Dealing with the Gou family and those three women hardly required Ji Jiayi’s intervention.
Seeing that Luo Ning was not insisting, Ji Jiayi then said, “Alright, but if you need anything at all, don’t hesitate to ask.”
Luo Ning acknowledged his kindness, “Okay.”
Upon reaching the vicinity of the mountain, the car parked by the roadside as there was no way to drive further.
Luo Ning unbuckled her seatbelt, “Thank you for bringing me here.”
Ji Jiayi also unbuckled his seatbelt, “There’s no need for thanks.”
“I’ll come with you to see if there’s anything I can help with.”
Seeing Luo Ning about to refuse, he immediately assured, “Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t cause you any trouble.”
Luo Ning was speechless and couldn’t be bothered with him, “Suit yourself.”
After getting out of the car and walking a bit, they saw Ji Xinghang standing at the door of a cabin at the foot of the mountain.
This cabin was recently built by Jiang Xinxin, mainly to facilitate regular rest stops.
It was furnished with some furniture inside.
Seeing Luo Ning appear, Ji Xinghang’s previously cold face revealed a smile, “Ningning, you came.”
Then he noticed the handsome man following behind Luo Ning.
Ji Xinghang had never met Ji Jiayi, so initially, he was taken aback upon seeing him, then furrowed his brows.
He felt a sense of crisis, “Ningning, who is this?”
Luo Ning replied, “A friend, his name is Ji Jiayi.”
“He insisted on coming with me, so I’ll leave him to you. I’m going to go inside first.”
After dropping Ji Jiayi off with Ji Xinghang, she went straight into the cabin.
Leaving Ji Xinghang and Ji Jiayi staring at each other.
Ji Xinghang scrutinized Ji Jiayi and asked, “You are Ningning’s friend?”
Ji Jiayi sensed the hostility from him, and he didn’t like him either.
However, Ji Jiayi was much more cunning and retained a smile, “Yes, I am Little Ningning’s good friend, and you are?”
Ji Xinghang replied, “I am Ningning’s childhood friend.”
Ji Jiayi raised an eyebrow, no wonder he found this guy so annoying, turned out he was some childhood friend.
He watched a broadcast variety show featuring Luo Ning, and since it was a playback, he fast-forwarded only to watch her parts, skipping quite a lot.
Therefore, he wasn’t familiar with Ji Xinghang.
He feigned a smile, “Nice to meet you!” As if.
Being childhood friends, if they were to be together, they would have already been, not leaving space for Lu Xun to slip in.
Ji Xinghang eyed Ji Jiayi, “Do you have bad intentions toward Ningning?”
A man who had to shamelessly follow, if not harboring ill intentions, then what?
Jealousy gnawed at him, Lu Xinji Dog, the green tea man hadn’t even been dealt with, and now another smiling tiger, white lotus?
It must be mentioned, recently Ji Xinghang had reviewed every drama and comment related to Luo Ning and learned quite a bit.
Terms like green tea bitches, white lotus.
Many online called Bo Xiangxiang a white lotus, so he specifically researched what a white lotus is and found it quite fitting.
Now seeing Ji Jiayi, his first impression was, this is a male white lotus.
Seeing how Ji Xinghang was guarded and unfriendly, Ji Jiayi confirmed, this guy must also be one of Luo Ning’s suitors.
He adjusted his tie, somewhat frustrated, one Lu Xun is troublesome enough, how come another childhood friend has appeared?
However, this also proved that the woman he fancied was indeed extraordinary, so excellent.
Moreover, he could tell, Luo Ning wasn’t the kind of woman who is fickle in love.
She kept an amiable distance while interacting with him, even deliberately maintaining that distance.
Unlike other women he had pursued in the past, who would say they didn’t want to or ought to be just friends, but in reality, would deliberately flirt with him.
Of course, he ended up succeeding with all those women, but none lasted long.
He didn’t see Ji Xinghang as much of a threat, still a childhood friend, not able to win her over for so many years, too timid.
Ji Jiayi didn’t know about Luo Ning and Ji Xinghang being ex-boyfriends; otherwise, he definitely would have been sour.
He flashed an elegant, aristocratic smile, “I am a genuinely good person, so this ill-intention you speak of, what is it?”
Ji Xinghang: “…” Still, a genuinely good person, that can be said, shameless, truly a male white lotus.
He snorted, “No matter what you’re thinking about Ningning, you had better stop, she doesn’t like your type.”
When it came to potential rivals, he was always unapologetic.
Ji Jiayi curved his lips, “I also didn’t notice that you’re her type. Shouldn’t you also stop thinking about her?”
“Since it’s the same for both of us, perhaps you should take your own advice.” He also chuckled.
The two looked even more displeasing to each other, Ji Xinghang snorted coldly, no longer speaking.
This smiling tiger definitely had no chance; his Ningning would never like this kind of flirtatious, smiling tiger type.
Still, he had to be cautious.
