So, the hand that wanted to hang up the phone froze because he was too close.
Qi Cheng leaned on her shoulder, sniffing the scent on her neck. He was surprisingly quiet.
Later, Cheng Yu asked a few more questions. Qi Cheng just held Ji Yunhuan in his arms and did nothing else.
He didn’t even speak.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Yunhuan stared at the man in front of her in surprise. Why had he suddenly changed?
"Aren’t you angry?" Ji Yunhuan asked him unexpectedly.
"Angry about what?" Qi Cheng hugged Ji Yunhuan tighter.
Ji Yunhuan stepped out of his embrace, leaning against the window, and looked at him. "Aren’t you very opposed to my blind dates with others? Weren’t you furious yesterday?"
Qi Cheng looked regretful. "What use is my dislike? I got angry yesterday, and today you are again on the phone with soone else. Instead of you contacting soone behind my back, I’d rather hear what you’re saying."
"Urgh..." He looked so pitiful as he said this.
Ji Yunhuan felt a twinge of guilt.
Qi Cheng suddenly said to her, "From now on, I won’t get angry at you again. Yesterday’s incident was my fault."
The scene from yesterday had scared him to death. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known how to handle it.
So, he had decided not to do what he did yesterday anymore; not to get angry at her or hurt her.
Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng unexpectedly. "Why did you co over again?"
"Do you really not want to see ?"
"No!" Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to say anything too harsh to him for fear that it would upset him, and he wouldn’t let her see their child. In any case, she had to see the child before getting married. She said, "You ss around outside every day. Don’t you care about the child? Leaving him to the servants, you are quite irresponsible."
Qi Cheng said, "If you have ti, you should worry about yourself!"
Ji Yunhuan fell silent.
Qi Cheng’s voice was indifferent. "As a mother, you left without taking care of him. Isn’t it too late to care now?"
Ji Yunhuan’s heart tightened.
Qi Cheng suddenly looked at her, unclear whether he was probing or mocking. "Or do you think you can co back to and fulfill your duties as a mother for the child?"
Ji Yunhuan looked at him and couldn’t help but take a step back.
Qi Cheng mocked, "Weren’t you planning to marry soone else and completely abandon him?"
Qi Cheng’s words left Ji Yunhuan feeling incredibly disheartened. For a mont, she didn’t know how to refute him. She self-deprecatingly said, "Yes! I am destined to be an unworthy mother, and I shouldn’t ntion him again."
After saying that, she went upstairs.
Qi Cheng watched her back. She looked sowhat desolate.
He knew he must have hurt her.
He wanted to care for her as he did before when she was hurt. But at this mont, he hoped she could figure things out on her own. Whether she wanted to continue the wrong choice from two years ago.
Qi Cheng didn’t stay the night. After making sure she was asleep, he left.
On Friday night, Ji Yunhuan finished her work and went to the place she had agreed to et Cheng Yu.
She knew very well that a few words from Qi Cheng couldn’t change her decision.
She was sure about the divorce.
Moreover, she now had an urgent desire to get divorced.
She feared that one day she might lose her mind and make a terrible decision for the child. Like now, she had beco Qi Cheng’s lover.
If she were the old Ji Yunhuan, how could she do such a thing?
Cheng Yu had already booked the restaurant in advance. But when Ji Yunhuan arrived, he hadn’t yet.
He seed like the punctual type, but unexpectedly, he was late.
But since she had nothing to do, Ji Yunhuan wasn’t in a hurry to leave.
"Miss, would you like to order sothing?" The waiter asked.
"Give a glass of juice." Ji Yunhuan sat there, staring at the night scene outside the window, lost in thought.
"Sir, this table is reserved." The waiter’s anxious words pulled her out of her reverie. She turned around and saw Qi Cheng, dressed elegantly, sitting across from her.
As an intruder, he completely ignored the waiter’s anxious expression beside him.
He just calmly sat there, as if this seat always belonged to him.
"Let him sit." Ji Yunhuan relieved the waiter. Where he wanted to sit and what he wanted to do were not decisions others could make for him. She looked at Qi Cheng in surprise. "Why are you here? Weren’t you okay with being with soone else?"
When he was on the phone that day, he didn’t say a word, looking like he didn’t oppose her eting Cheng Yu here.
Qi Cheng casually said, "Don’t worry, I won’t interfere. If he cos, I’ll leave imdiately."
Ji Yunhuan felt there was sothing fishy about his words, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
"Have dinner. What would you like? Last ti, you told your blind date that you had no preferences. But you don’t eat cilantro, do you?"
"..." Ji Yunhuan was speechless as she looked at him.
With Qi Cheng there that day, how could she have had the heart to chat with Cheng Yu? She was just making small talk.
Seeing that he really planned to dine there, Ji Yunhuan reminded him, "Cheng Yu will be here soon. What dinner? What if he cos while you’re here? Qi Cheng, I beg you, please don’t interfere in my affairs."
Obviously, he was there to cause trouble!
"All right! Since you’re not hungry, let’s wait a bit longer." Qi Cheng, obeying her, didn’t order food but calmly sat there, showing no intention of leaving.
Ji Yunhuan kept checking the ti, hoping Cheng Yu would co soon. She couldn’t believe Qi Cheng would stay if he arrived.
Her phone lit up with a call from Wen Nuan.
Ji Yunhuan had told Wen Nuan about having dinner with Cheng Yu tonight.
Since Wen Nuan was calling, she must be checking on the situation.
Ji Yunhuan answered the phone and heard Wen Nuan say, "Yunhuan, are you still at the restaurant?"
"Yeah! Mr. Cheng hasn’t arrived yet." Looking at the ti, he was already quite late.
She didn’t like waiting for people.
Wen Nuan said, "You don’t have to wait. He won’t be coming. I heard from his aunt that he’s fled because he embezzled company funds."
"...No way!" Ji Yunhuan was stunned.
"Why not? Fortunately, you’re lucky. If this had happened after you married him, it would have been a disaster. It was my fault for not investigating thoroughly." Wen Nuan apologized repeatedly, afraid she had caused trouble for Ji Yunhuan.
But Ji Yunhuan’s gaze fell on Qi Cheng, sitting opposite her.
He appeared here, and Cheng Yu couldn’t co!
Although she wasn’t familiar with Cheng Yu and wasn’t sure about his character, this was too much of a coincidence!
"Let hang up first. Be careful on your way ho." After so lanting, Wen Nuan guiltily hung up the phone.
