When he woke up, he looked beside him and found that Ji Yunhuan had already gotten up. He breathed a sigh of relief. He put on his pajamas, sat down, coughed for a while, and his gaze fell on the cradle next to him.
Ruirui was already awake, his big black eyes staring at the ceiling.
Nearly three months old, he could already recognize people.
Qi Cheng reached out and picked the baby up from the cradle. Qi Cheng held the baby and went downstairs, finding Ji Yunhuan standing alone by the coffee machine brewing coffee.
Hearing the sound, she turned to look at Qi Cheng. Seeing him holding the child, she smiled, "Ruirui is awake?"
"Awake. He didn’t cry, just stared with big eyes, daydreaming." After their son’s full-month celebration, he had been busy with work and rarely spent ti with him.
Ji Yunhuan walked to Qi Cheng’s side, not taking the baby but letting him hold him. She stared at her son and said with a smile, "He’s really cute."
Seeing Ji Yunhuan smile, Ruirui smiled along with her.
Ji Yunhuan laughed at this and looked at Qi Cheng, "The older he gets, the more he looks like you."
"Of course he looks like . He’s my son." Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan, "Have you been up for long?"
"Yes, the food is ready. We can eat now." She took the baby in her arms, "You go wash your hands first."
Qi Cheng went into the bathroom and ca out shortly.
Looking at the food, it seed to have been ready for so ti. He looked at Ji Yunhuan, "Why didn’t you call when it was ready?"
"I saw that both you and the baby were sleeping soundly. I didn’t want to wake you." Ji Yunhuan was already seated. Qi Cheng took it upon himself to serve the rice.
Ji Yunhuan held the baby and ate, eating slower than usual.
After a while, she said to Qi Cheng, "You’ve lost a lot of weight recently."
"Have I?" Qi Cheng said, "I weighed myself yesterday and found I had gained so weight."
Ji Yunhuan said, "If you’re not feeling well, go to the hospital."
"Why are you bringing this up again?" He didn’t want to discuss hospitalization with her.
Ji Yunhuan looked at him, "Qi Cheng, if you get seriously ill, I won’t know what to do. Don’t worry about the money. I’ll find a way."
If he still refused, she would borrow so money from Bai Liyan.
After all, his health was no joke.
It was all because of her that he had fallen ill.
Now, she had to watch him suffer so much.
Working day and night without rest.
Qi Cheng knew she was worried about him. He sighed helplessly, "I know, if I really feel unwell, I’ll go to the doctor. Even if you don’t tell , I will go. But I’m fine right now. Coughing isn’t sothing that gets better imdiately. Even in the hospital, it takes ti, right?"
Once he was hospitalized, he would no longer be able to work and earn money.
The family was in financial straits. He didn’t want to waste money.
"Qi Cheng, seeing you like this really pains ." This made her feel she shouldn’t have been with him and dragged him down.
Qi Cheng looked at her and didn’t speak.
Ji Yunhuan finished eating and took the baby upstairs. He stayed behind to clean the dishes and wash them.
Ji Yunhuan waited upstairs for a while. When she didn’t see Qi Cheng co up, she went downstairs and found he had already left.
She didn’t know where he had gone.
She walked out the door and wandered around, finding him at the restaurant he worked at.
She stood outside the glass window, looking at him, a feeling of despair welling up inside her.
Clearly, she was angry with him, but he didn’t even notice and imdiately went to work.
When Qi Cheng ca ho in the evening, he found that Ji Yunhuan had gone to bed early and didn’t pay attention to him.
He got into bed and habitually reached out to hug her. She quickly pushed him away.
He looked at her and suddenly realized sothing was off, "Are you angry?"
She ignored him and didn’t speak.
How could she not be angry?
She was so angry her stomach hurt. She had made dinner for him, but she was so angry she couldn’t eat at all.
She felt utterly helpless with this man.
Most of the ti, he didn’t listen to her.
Qi Cheng gently held her, saying, "I promise you, I’ll go to the hospital for a check-up in a couple of days, okay?"
She opened her eyes and looked at him, "A couple of days, a couple of days. Why do you keep lying to ? Am I so easy to deceive?"
Even if he did get checked, he would find a way to persuade the doctor not to admit him.
Her eyes were slightly teary. She wasn’t soone who cried easily. Qi Cheng was startled by her reaction, "Why are you suddenly crying?"
"I’m not crying." Ji Yunhuan turned her face away coldly, "Qi Cheng. Let’s split up."
"..."
Qi Cheng’s body shook violently.
He looked at her, helplessly reaching out to pull her into his arms, "I’m sorry. I might have upset you. But... I don’t want you to worry about . It’s just a cough, an old problem. It’ll get better when the weather warms up. Besides, the doctor said I’m fine."
His embrace was warm. Ji Yunhuan leaned against him, feeling his heartbeat. She looked at him, helplessly cupping his face, "I know you care about and our son, but Qi Cheng... I really don’t want to see you suffering so much because of ."
For such a long period, no matter what happened, she tried to comfort herself, but she was really at her limit.
Seeing him in pain made her feel miserable.
She even had soone trying to sell her family ho in City A but couldn’t find a buyer.
The Qi Family simply didn’t want to see her and Qi Cheng together.
Originally, no matter what difficulties she faced, she shouldn’t give up, but Qi Cheng... he just happened to be her biggest weakness.
She had endured so much hardship for Chenchen. Later, she t him. He saved her, and she was grateful to him but also realistic.
Now, he was walking a similar path as he did before, bearing the sa pressures.
So what if they couldn’t be together? As long as both of them were healthy and he could live well, she could endure all the pain in the world.
In the following days, Qi Cheng stayed ho. He knew Ji Yunhuan was angry and naturally didn’t want to annoy her further. However, his cough still didn’t improve. He continued to cough up blood. Although he hid it from her, she could find traces of it in the trash can.
To save money for his treatnt, they had turned off the heating at ho, leaving it very cold at night.
Although it was already spring, Jiangling was still extrely cold. The winter was so long it seed endless.
Bai Liyan ca to Jiangling. Ji Yunhuan went to the station to pick him up.
Facing Ji Yunhuan, who had co to pick him up, Bai Liyan was surprised, "I could have co by myself. I’ve been here twice already."
He looked at Ji Yunhuan and found no sign of happiness on her face.
"What happened?" Bai Liyan asked with concern.
This ti, it was Ji Yunhuan who called and asked him to co.
He guessed she had sothing important, so he ca as soon as he could.
