Ji Yunhuan lowered her head, quietly listening to his words. Her heart felt like it was being crushed under a heavy stone, making it hard to breathe.
Qi Cheng looked at her. "It’s okay. I don’t want you to understand either. This ti, it was my fault. I made the wrong decision and almost lost our child. Regardless of whether this child is mine or not, I will treat him as my own. As Liyan said, he can accept my child. Why can’t I accept this child after all these years of friendship with him? For you, I’m willing to endure everything. The fact that I love you is only for to know. It’s your choice if you don’t want to know."
He held her hand tightly, refusing to let go.
For the rest of the way, Ji Yunhuan didn’t speak.
The sightseeing bus driver dropped them off at a place and stopped.
The breeze from the flower fields carried a faint floral fragrance.
Ji Yunhuan glanced at the hand Qi Cheng was holding. "Let go."
He looked at her hand that he was holding, but he refused to release it.
Ji Yunhuan looked at him in pain. "Are you going to let go or not?"
"No." He looked at her disappointedly. "I’ve said so much, but you didn’t hear a single word?"
"You said it. Whether I listen or not is my choice." If it were before, she might have softened toward him. But not now.
She had been too soft on him too many tis, and she had suffered too much because of it.
Especially with this child, she was determined never to forgive him.
Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan. "You are the most heartless woman I’ve ever t."
"Then why are you still clinging to ?"
He gave her a glance. "I can’t help it. You’re beautiful."
"..." Being complinted in such a roundabout way, Ji Yunhuan didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. She helplessly looked at the hand he held tightly. "Aren’t you afraid your fiancée will see this?"
"This has nothing to do with her!"
"You said you would marry her. Saying this and not following through. Can you really do that?" Ji Yunhuan pulled her hand away and walked forward.
Qi Cheng quickly caught up. "I said I would marry her because you made angry."
That day he had been almost driven crazy by her.
That was why he said such things out of spite.
Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng. "Aren’t I angry with you now, too?"
"..." She was too good with words. He didn’t know what to say anymore.
It was his own fault for being useless, for not being able to make her wholeheartedly devoted.
Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan. "Yunhuan, co back to . I’ll take good care of you."
Ji Yunhuan smiled, but it was a helpless smile. "You said before that I’ve hurt you too many tis. But Qi Cheng, do you think I haven’t been hurt? Even after my parents went bankrupt, my life might not have been as smooth, might have been harder, but I didn’t suffer any grievances. But being with you, I feel like I’ve beco soone else. You are indeed handso, rich, even gentle, and you love . But if a woman has to endure her man entangling with other won and sharing him with others... that’s the saddest thing. What does it matter if you have billions? It’s not that I don’t love you. I just don’t want to love you anymore. Whether it’s Xie Xingwei or Lin Xiang ... they might be willing to endure for you, but I absolutely won’t wrong myself for you. Do you understand?"
"Xie Xingwei? Lin Xiang?" In Qi Cheng’s eyes, these people did not exist. "The person you love the most is yourself."
Ji Yunhuan said sternly, "I don’t want to be the person you love most. I want to be the only one you love!"
"I’ve always treated you as the only one!" Qi Cheng found her difficult to understand. "Since I t you, I’ve had only you."
"Heh..." Ji Yunhuan lifted the corners of her lips, but her eyes were full of sadness. "Since you say I’m your only, the one you love most, then why did you bring Lin Xiang here? And why did you let Xie Xingwei carry your child?"
She tried to restrain herself, not to complain, and not to appear like a jealous woman.
Qi Cheng said, "You think Xie Xingwei is carrying my child?"
"Isn’t that the case?" She knew he would always lie to her.
But she would no longer believe him.
"Of course not!" Qi Cheng asserted.
"That night, she wasn’t with you? When you were sick, Xie Xingwei didn’t go to your house?"
Ji Yunhuan had asked this question before. At that ti, she and Qi Cheng were both too impulsive to calm down and resolve the misunderstanding. But Qi Cheng was calm now.
"She did go, but I didn’t touch her."
"You lie!"
Qi Cheng suddenly understood. He looked at Ji Yunhuan. "So you left because you thought she was pregnant with my child?"
"It’s not a thought. It’s a fact."
"The child is not mine." Qi Cheng explained, "She disgusts . I didn’t even want to touch her. How could she be pregnant with my child?"
"..." Ji Yunhuan looked at him coldly, as if wanting to see how he could turn black into white.
Seeing that she was willing to listen, Qi Cheng knew he must not miss this opportunity. He quickly explained, "That night she did get into my bed, but later I woke up. I was so angry that I gave her to one of my n. Because of this, I soaked in the bath all night. Just thinking of her makes feel sick. I didn’t want to ntion this, so I kept it from you. The child can’t possibly be mine!"
"So, you an to say, Xie Xingwei is framing you?" Ji Yunhuan laughed incredulously. "Qi Cheng, do you think I’m that easy to deceive? Would you really give your woman to another man?"
"Besides you, why wouldn’t I?" His gaze was resolute.
Ji Yunhuan asked, "If you have no feelings for Xie Xingwei, why did you let her go to your house?"
"Because I rarely go ho, she was willing to interact with the servants there. It was her own decision; it has nothing to do with ."
"If you didn’t permit it..."
"You just don’t believe !" Qi Cheng said impatiently. "How can I explain it so you’ll believe ? If you don’t believe , I can get proof. Many servants at ho know about this, but they’ve just never ntioned it."
His serious deanor made Ji Yunhuan pause. "You really... didn’t touch her?"
"Not only didn’t I allow her to have my child, but during the two years you were gone, there was no one else by my side. There’s only you!" Qi Cheng said solemnly. "You should believe . Even if you’ve been with Bai Liyan, I don’t care. Why can’t you believe ?"
His eyes showed urgency and grievance.
He didn’t want to be misunderstood by her all the ti.
Ji Yunhuan silently turned around and sat down on a stone bench nearby.
