"You know very well that hospital food is barely edible," Ji Yunhuan sighed helplessly.
Qi Cheng looked at her with a hint of smugness in his eyes. "See? Without around, no one even cares if you eat. And yet you still resent ?"
"Yes, yes... Fighting with anyone but you would be a mistake. Mr. Qi, you are my rock; how could I dare offend you?"
Qi Cheng, pleased by her words, sat up and made a phone call.
Before long, the assistant and the female housekeeper arrived.
They hadn’t left at all; they had been waiting for Qi Cheng’s orders the whole ti.
Ji Yunhuan knew that Qi Cheng wanted the female housekeeper to cook. "Let’s eat out! The kitchen at ho isn’t fully equipped, and I haven’t used it since moving back. Cooking would be inconvenient."
It wasn’t too late anyway, and the nights were the liveliest ti of day.
Qi Cheng didn’t like the idea of constant interruptions in his space.
But he didn’t want to disappoint her either.
They didn’t go too far, just to a nearby cozy restaurant.
The restaurant was quite busy by then, so Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng reserved a private room upstairs.
As soon as she heard they arrived, the owner, Nuan, ca over quickly. "Hey, didn’t you just get out of the hospital today? I’ve been busy and couldn’t pick you up. What brings you here?"
Ji Yunhuan said, "I just wanted to see you right after I got out."
Hearing this, Qi Cheng was unhappy.
He thought: She can think of her friend but not co running to see .
Nuan sat down and looked at Qi Cheng. "Mr. Qi, this is your first ti dining at our restaurant! Since we know each other, you should co often. I’ll give you a discount."
"I’ll consider it." He didn’t dislike Nuan.
At least Nuan wanted Ji Yunhuan to be happy with him.
Nuan giggled. "Then it’s settled! You better not be lying to !"
Ji Yunhuan added, "Serving him could be tiring. He’s very picky about food."
"Are you complaining about ?" Qi Cheng raised an eyebrow and looked at the woman speaking ill of him.
"I’m just telling the truth."
Thinking the two were about to argue, Nuan quickly stepped in, "It’s fine! No matter how picky, it’s an honor for our restaurant to serve Mr. Qi."
Ji Yunhuan looked at Nuan, knowing she was trying to improve their relationship.
But today, Qi Cheng didn’t seem to want to argue with her.
Nuan stayed in the private room for a while, then returned after receiving a call from her husband.
After Nuan left, Qi Cheng said, "Your friend is the only one who seems decent."
Ji Yunhuan rolled her eyes at him. "She’s married. No matter how great she is, it has nothing to do with you."
"... I’m not interested in married won," Qi Cheng said, looking at her helplessly.
"I’m a married woman too."
"Alright, then!" Qi Cheng couldn’t help but smile. "Except for you, I’m not interested in married won."
After Nuan left, the restaurant’s waiter ca in, bringing candles, champagne, and roses.
Qi Cheng raised an eyebrow. "I didn’t know your restaurant provided such special services."
The waiter said, "The lady boss said these are a gift for Mrs. Qi and Mr. Qi to celebrate the discharge. She hopes your relationship grows stronger."
Nuan knew Ji Yunhuan had moved out of the Qi Family house temporarily.
She had also scolded Ji Yunhuan several tis in the hospital, feeling that Ji Yunhuan didn’t understand things well.
Ji Yunhuan, being stubborn, didn’t know how to apologize to Qi Cheng.
So, upon seeing them together again, Nuan, as an older sister, of course, wanted to create an opportunity for them.
Ji Yunhuan peeled the lobster in front of her, feeling that a simple dinner had inexplicably turned into a candlelight dinner.
Qi Cheng sat opposite her and reminded, "Move back ho with ?"
He didn’t want her living alone outside.
"No need," Ji Yunhuan replied calmly.
Qi Cheng asked, "Are you still mad at ? Or reluctant to forgive ?"
She glanced at him and smiled. "You’re overthinking it. I just don’t want to go back and see certain people. Besides, even though I moved out, I’ve been staying in the hospital these days. I want to stay at ho for a couple more days."
"I am your family. The Qi Family house is your ho." He wanted her to realize this quickly.
Otherwise, he always felt uneasy.
"Who asked you to bring Ye Suya to stay at ho? You deal with it yourself! I’ll go back once she’s gone."
"Ji Yunhuan..." He hated the feeling of being rejected by her.
Ji Yunhuan said, "You can stay over with !"
She didn’t an to upset him. She just didn’t want to return to a ho with Ye Suya in it.
"Alright." Qi Cheng’s expression stiffened, but he agreed.
Before going ho, the two went to the departnt store, where she held his hand and walked alongside him, helping him pick out towels and a toothbrush.
Qi Cheng stood to one side, his face appearing even more defined under the lighting, with hidden deep tenderness.
He looked at Ji Yunhuan and suddenly suggested, "How about we fire all the servants?"
The female housekeeper, standing not far away, froze. Had she done sothing to upset Mr. Qi?
Ji Yunhuan also looked at him in confusion. "Why?"
"This way, when I’m with you, it truly feels like ho." Watching her pick out daily necessities for him, he felt truly loved by her.
Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but chuckle and teased, "I never thought Mr. Qi liked shopping. Shall we co more often then?"
He was always the one with an entourage. Even dining out required a cleared-out space, living the most privileged yet detached life. Usually, everything was handed to him on a platter. How could he care about these things? Now, just watching her buy so things for him made him this happy?
Qi Cheng snorted. "You know that’s not what I ant."
"Then what do you an?" Ji Yunhuan pretended not to understand.
"I’m just talking to a brick wall." How could he not see that she was pretending not to understand? She dared to tease him!
He was mad.
Suddenly, he pressed her against the shelf and kissed her.
The impact caused so items to fall off, making a sound.
Damn!
Ji Yunhuan never expected him to do this here. The supermarket was filled with caras. Was Mr. Qi trying to stir up a scandal?
But his kiss was intense and urgent, leaving her unable to refuse.
He held her tightly in his arms, kissing her fiercely for a while before letting go.
Because of the psychological effect, the originally bustling mall seed to quiet down suddenly.
Thick eyelashes masked her eyes, hiding her emotions. Her lips, kissed into redness that was more beautiful than usual. Qi Cheng looked down at her, his fingers gently brushing her lips, savoring the taste of her kiss.
