With a shout from Ji Chicheng, the bodyguard holding the cake trembled in her grip. But she didn't stop because she was Charles's bodyguard and only followed Charles's orders.
Charles continued to watch Ji Chicheng calmly. "Taking back something I have given would be quite embarrassing; you can throw it away," he said.
He paused for a moment before changing the subject, "But wait until I've left. I don't like to see food wasted."
With that, as if afraid that Ji Chicheng would throw the cake away right in front of him, Charles immediately turned around and left without looking back.
At that moment, watching Charles's retreating figure, Ji Anning couldn't feel his imposing manner. Instead, she saw loneliness and desolation.
When Charles left, his bodyguard promptly set down the cake and followed him out, preparing to close the door behind her.
