Qi Cheng heard this and looked at Ji Yunhuan. "Did you know I got engaged to Lin Xiang?"
"You’ve always hidden it from ." She was actually very unhappy. It made her feel like a fool. The whole Qi Family laughed at her behind her back.
Ji Yunhuan turned her gaze away sadly and didn’t look at him.
Qi Cheng lowered his head and kissed her on the top of her head. "It’s just an engagent, not a marriage. Are you jealous?"
She denied it with guilt. "Why would I be jealous? Anyway, I know you will be with her sooner or later. Even if you get married, I don’t care."
It would just hurt.
What did heartache matter?
She was already numb to it.
Qi Cheng held her hand tightly. "You really don’t care?"
"I don’t care."
"Then I’ll marry her," he said matter-of-factly.
Ji Yunhuan felt a weight in her heart and looked at him angrily.
Even if he wanted to marry Lin Xiang, there was no need to rush, right?
There were still a few months before the baby would be born.
By then, if he married Lin Xiang, how would she face all this?
"Didn’t you say you didn’t care?" Qi Cheng laughed. "Looks like you do care."
Ji Yunhuan realized Qi Cheng was teasing her and got very angry. "Just go marry her, see if I care."
"You’re going to be a mother. Why are you so angry?" Qi Cheng said. "I’m not really going to marry her."
"Everyone knows you’re engaged to her." Her voice still carried anger.
Qi Cheng smiled helplessly. "I thought you wouldn’t mind."
"Not mind? Why shouldn’t I mind? I do mind! Even if you want to be with her, at least... at least wait until the baby is born. I don’t expect to be with you forever, but before the baby is born, I don’t want you to belong to soone else."
Otherwise, why would she stay by his side?
She might as well leave early.
"Trust , I won’t marry Lin Xiang." Qi Cheng held Ji Yunhuan’s hand and kissed it lightly.
Ji Yunhuan didn’t believe him. But even if he was lying, she took it as truth, assuming he really wouldn’t marry.
She needed him to comfort her too much.
Even if it was a lie, it gave her the strength to hold on.
Qi Cheng said, "I heard from Aunt Liu that you argued with the second sister-in-law last night?"
At this, Ji Yunhuan felt a twinge in her heart. She stayed silent, not uttering a word.
Qi Cheng looked at her with deep sympathy. "Although I haven’t called you these past days, I’ve always been keeping an eye on your matters. Aunt Liu tells everything. So, don’t believe what others say. Just rember, in my heart, no one can replace you."
Ji Yunhuan looked at him. "Really?"
"Yes." Qi Cheng nodded. He said to Ji Yunhuan, "I put you here. How could I ignore you?"
Ji Yunhuan said, "Then you should at least call ."
"I see you focus on Yangyang every day. Aren’t I afraid you wouldn’t pay attention to ? Besides, I’ve been really busy." He hugged her tightly. "That’s why I grabbed ti to co to see you."
"Liar, you’re just busy being with Lin Xiang every day."
"I’ll take you out in a couple of days," Qi Cheng said.
She looked at him. "But your mother won’t agree. Will you fall out with her then?"
She didn’t want to see such a scene.
"Don’t worry about her. I have a way to take you out." Qi Cheng said, letting her lean against him. "Let’s sleep."
Ji Yunhuan leaned beside him and closed her eyes. Qi Cheng also turned off the light.
After a while, his voice ca again. "Did Bai Liyan co to see you?"
Ji Yunhuan stiffened. "So that’s why you ca to see ?"
"Sort of... Ouch!" He hadn’t finished speaking when she pinched him.
Ji Yunhuan’s tone was harsh. "You should hurt. When I’m bullied here, you don’t care. No matter how much I hope you co back, you don’t co. Only when Bai Liyan cos to see , do you appear. You don’t love at all; it’s just possessiveness."
"If you think of like this, I’m very hurt," he said disappointedly.
"Can you be more hurt than ?" Ji Yunhuan furiously reached out and pinched him again.
"Do you really want to pinch to death?" He bit her ear. "Heartless woman."
"If Bai Liyan didn’t co to see , you definitely wouldn’t have co. Every day with Lin Xiang, you’ve already forgotten ."
Qi Cheng said, "I’m very wronged. If I knew you’d think of this way after coming to see you, I wouldn’t have co."
"..."
Ji Yunhuan stayed silent, ignoring him.
Qi Cheng’s hand slipped inside her clothes; because of the pregnancy, they had grown a bit and had a slight pain.
Pregnancy was a very difficult thing. For her, there was no comfort anywhere, with so many troubleso things every day.
Qi Cheng woke up early in the morning. He said to Ji Yunhuan, "I have to go."
"..." She heard his voice but didn’t respond. Even if he left, she couldn’t stop him.
Qi Cheng said, "I’ll take you out in a couple of days. Just hold on for two days."
He really didn’t want to leave, wishing to stay with her all the ti, without a mont apart. But there was no other way. This was at the Qi Residence. He had to consider Qi mother’s feelings.
After all, his mother had raised him for so many years. He didn’t want to fall out with her.
His kiss wandered over her face, reluctant to let her go after a long while, then he left the room.
When Qi Cheng closed the door, he bumped into the second sister-in-law. Seeing Qi Cheng coming out of Ji Yunhuan’s room, she went directly downstairs.
It was still early, and most people hadn’t gotten up yet.
Qi Cheng left the Qi Residence imdiately after coming out of Ji Yunhuan’s room.
Qi mother had just woken up and saw the second sister-in-law. "Why are you up so early today?"
"Couldn’t sleep." Yangyang had been talking to her about recent events last night. It was evident that Yangyang and Ji Yunhuan got along very well. The second sister-in-law was so worried that she almost had insomnia all night.
She hadn’t intended to leave. Qi mother forced her to go. The second brother insisted on taking her away. Thinking of not being able to accompany Yangyang these days, she was so angry that she didn’t even bother with the second brother.
Qi mother glanced at her but said nothing and went to sit on the terrace.
The second sister-in-law walked over and said, "I just saw Qi Cheng."
"I heard he ca over last night, very late."
"He just ca out of Yunhuan’s room." The second sister-in-law said, "Mom, I know you want to keep Yunhuan under your watch. But don’t you think this gives Qi Cheng more opportunities to be with her?"
...
Ji Yunhuan still got up at around eight o’clock.
At the breakfast table, Qi mother looked at her and asked, "Did Qi Cheng co to your room last night?"
Ji Yunhuan didn’t know why Qi mother brought this up. The second sister-in-law was eating breakfast next to Yangyang, and everyone was very quiet. But surely soone would have known Qi Cheng went to her room. Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to lie, so she nodded.
