Ji Chicheng finally had a reaction; he stopped the chewing motion in his mouth, lifted his eyelids, and looked at Ji Anning.
Ji Anning didn't notice him and laughingly responded to Qi Helian, "If I return to the country, I'll definitely count on Qi to get me a few more lucrative roles."
It was just a joke.
She hadn't thought about returning, and if possible, she wanted never to come back. Abroad, she could start anew, living a simple life without worries.
Her words lacked sincerity.
Everyone present could tell, Qi Helian didn't take it seriously, and naturally, neither did Ji Chicheng, as he withdrew his gaze.
When Ji Anning's gaze shifted toward him, she caught a fleeting trace of a light smile in his eyes.
The corners of her mouth, pursed until then, also couldn't help but lift.
As for the trip to the hot springs, Ji Chicheng hadn't voiced his agreement or dissent, and Ji Anning didn't dare to just follow Qi Helian and the others.
