"One million, to buy the future of the Gu Family? Do you think I’m greedy?" Ji Yunhuan looked at the elegantly dressed Mrs. Gu. "For the esteed Mrs. Gu, do you still care about this small amount of money?"
She knew that last ti, Mrs. Gu gave her a few thousand dollars with great reluctance. Now giving one million was equivalent to cutting Mrs. Gu’s flesh.
But she knew that one million was nothing to the Gu Family. However, when the person taking the money beca her, Mrs. Gu couldn’t bear it.
Not giving Mrs. Gu a chance to hesitate, Ji Yunhuan said, "You can regret it slowly later! Don’t regret it when it’s too late."
She pushed open the hospital room door and walked in. Because there was a corner in the room, she could see Qi Cheng sitting in his previous spot, but Gu Yubai couldn’t see her.
Gu Yubai was talking to Qi Cheng. "She is my fiancée. No matter what Uncle says, I will not give up on her."
"So, are you competing with for a woman?" Pretending not to see Ji Yunhuan, Qi Cheng continued to ask.
Gu Yubai, who was always respectful to Qi Cheng, was uncharacteristically firm at this mont. "Yes!"
Only Ji Yunhuan—he didn’t want to let her go to soone else.
"No one can take what’s mine."
"But she is mine!" Qi Cheng argued.
"That day at the Ji Family, you said with your own mouth that you had broken off the engagent with her. Only then did I get together with her. You couldn’t possibly have forgotten that, right?"
That was the statent Gu Yubai regretted the most. He had never expected it to bring such trouble upon himself.
Now he regretted it imnsely. Thinking of Ji Yunhuan, he thought of the Ji Yunhuan who once trusted him. He clenched his fists tightly. "How did I know that Uncle would be so interested in my woman? I was just angry with her and talking nonsense at the ti. Furthermore, she has already slept with ..."
He had no power to compete with Qi Cheng for Ji Yunhuan. He could only spout nonsense here, trying to make Qi Cheng give up on Ji Yunhuan.
Anyway, Qi Cheng was a man who quickly tired of new things. He would soon grow weary of Ji Yunhuan as well.
Qi Cheng’s face stiffened. "Gu Yubai, you should be clear that she is now my wife. Are you saying this to anger ?"
"I am just telling the truth."
Actually, Gu Yubai was just testing him. From what he knew about Ji Yunhuan, he really didn’t believe that she would get together with Qi Cheng in such a short ti.
Unexpectedly, Qi Cheng didn’t expose his lies.
Therefore, he could conclude that Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan hadn’t slept together.
He was secretly delighted, thinking he still had a chance. If she was unwilling to sleep with another man, it proved that she still had feelings for him.
Thinking this way, he made up his mind to deceive Qi Cheng thoroughly.
Ji Yunhuan’s face also turned slightly pale. That damn man! She wished she could rush in and tear Gu Yubai’s mouth apart. But she was more eager to know Qi Cheng’s thoughts...
He clearly knew she used to be Gu Yubai’s fiancée... yet he married her.
That day, he refused to touch her. Was he worried that she had already been touched by Gu Yubai?
"Now that you call Uncle, you should call her Aunt." Qi Cheng stood up, his face as cold as ice. "In any case, in the future, you better not entangle with her again, or I won’t consider our familial ties."
When he married Ji Yunhuan, he had never thought about any of this.
Now, hearing Gu Yubai admit that he had already slept with Ji Yunhuan, he felt extrely uncomfortable.
He hated the feeling that she had already belonged to another man.
Sensing his displeasure, Ji Yunhuan finally understood. Because of this matter, Qi Cheng felt uncomfortable. Therefore, he didn’t touch her that night!
n cared about this kind of thing. She should explain it. But thinking of Xie Xingwei, thinking of his nurous lovers, she inexplicably didn’t want to explain.
This was good too!
Without an explanation, he would disdain her. As long as he disdained her, he wouldn’t touch her.
She didn’t want to sleep with him anyway.
Leaving the hospital, she retrieved her belongings from Butler Gu. After checking that nothing was missing, she got into Qi Cheng’s car.
He sat in the car without saying a word. She glanced at him. "Thank you for coming here for ."
He looked at her and couldn’t help but laugh softly. "I just ca to see Gu Yubai. Who said I ca specifically for you?"
Even if he didn’t admit it, Ji Yunhuan knew he had saved her. "Thank you anyway for helping ."
For the past five years, she had often felt like she was alone.
Until she was with him, she suddenly felt as if she had an extra support. At least today, in that kind of situation, he chose to believe her.
Seeing her sincere gaze, Qi Cheng’s heart softened. His eyes fell on her fair face, which had a distinct handprint. "Is your face alright?"
She heard that Mrs. Gu had slapped her. With her temper, she shouldn’t have let it go easily, but why did she seem to be in a good mood?
"It’s fine." Ji Yunhuan raised the corner of her mouth. "Just a slap."
One slap, one million. It was worth it.
However, she didn’t tell Qi Cheng about the things she took from her father nor that she extorted one million from Mrs. Gu.
She felt that Mrs. Gu would definitely take the money!
She was too poor, almost penniless. Even though she was with Qi Cheng now, she didn’t want to have nothing of her own.
Although she was thankful to him, she never thought he would be her eternal support.
Because, as he himself said, when to divorce would be his decision.
"As long as you’re fine."
He gazed at her.
She no longer spoke voluntarily.
She must have overheard his conversation with Gu Yubai. Now that she didn’t ntion it at all, in his view, it ant she felt guilty.
So, she and Gu Yubai had already been intimate.
The two had been together for so long and were engaged. Doing such things was supposed to be natural.
But mysteriously, he didn’t want her body to belong to anyone else.
Neither of them spoke again. The car fell into silence as they quietly returned to the Qi Family.
"Sir, there’s a call from abroad." As soon as they entered the hall, the housekeeper ca up and said.
Because Qi Cheng didn’t like traveling, he handled most of his work here.
He nodded and went upstairs first.
Until dinner ti, he didn’t co down.
Ji Yunhuan, pushing the dinner prepared for him, knocked on his study door. After getting permission, she pushed the door open and entered.
"Why are you here?" Delivering dinner should have been the servants’ job.
Ji Yunhuan said, "You didn’t have dinner, so I thought I’d co to check on you. Very busy?"
It seed that delivering things to him was the most natural thing.
Her actions reminded Qi Cheng of how she used to ignore him when he was angry.
She clearly didn’t care about him, but now she was so attentive. So, she must be feeling guilty!
Therefore, his attitude was not warm. "Just leave it there. I’ll eat after finishing up here."
