Ji Yunhuan heard her ntion unhappy things, her eyes darkened for a mont. Qi Cheng said to Aunt Liu, "You may go now."
Knowing that she had said the wrong thing, Aunt Liu left in embarrassnt.
Ji Yunhuan glanced at Qi Cheng. "I’m not angry."
"I don’t want to see you upset." Even with the most ordinary glance from Ji Yunhuan, Qi Cheng could tell what she was thinking.
Ji Yunhuan said, "Yangyang will co back sooner or later. It’s just... When I look at Ruirui, I think, Ruirui is several months old and still can’t be away from for a step, but when I left Yangyang, he had just turned one month old. I don’t know how he got through it. Having a mother like and a father like you."
"....."
Qi Cheng said nothing. He feared that anything he said would upset Ji Yunhuan. When it ca to their child, Ji Yunhuan was particularly sensitive, but the past was irrevocable.
Even if they wanted to make ands now, Yangyang might not want it.
In the morning, Qi Cheng got up early. Ji Yunhuan lay in bed, realizing this was her first overnight stay in this house. She had co once after they divorced, but the outco then was appalling, a mory she now loathed to recall.
Her long hair lay on the pillow like silky smooth strands, her dark and bright eyes fixed on Qi Cheng as he dressed. "Are you going out?"
"Just got back. I’m planning to et with so uncles and handle so matters with Qi Ling. You stay ho with the baby, get so rest, and wake up later. I’ll have breakfast prepared for you." He buttoned his shirt as he spoke.
He took out a suit and put it on, looking incredibly handso.
Ji Yunhuan said, "Rember to take your dicine before you leave."
"Yes." He walked back and gently kissed her on the lips. "Be good, wait for to co back."
Ji Yunhuan smiled, "Hurry up, or Qi Ling will laugh at you again."
He was already laughed at yesterday.
Qi Ling always had sothing to say about everything.
Qi Cheng walked out and casually closed the door.
The morning courtyard was very quiet. After waking up, Qi Cheng had brought the baby to Ji Yunhuan’s side. She lay in bed, watching Ruirui, her heart deeply concerned for Yangyang.
She wondered when her sister-in-law would co over. She missed Yangyang very much.
Though they hadn’t t for over half a year, they barely spoke when they finally did.
Lately, she’s been dreaming often, dreaming of Yangyang angrily asking her:
"Why did you leave and not return?"
"Why did you abandon ?"
"Why are you kind only to my brother?"
Though she knew these were just dreams born of her daily worries, Ji Yunhuan also realized that Yangyang might indeed think of these questions. Even if not now, he might ask them when he grows up.
So often, when she saw Ruirui, she couldn’t help but think of Yangyang.
She always felt she hadn’t done well enough, but after thinking about it carefully, she didn’t know what else she could do.
Her sister-in-law had given up everything for Yangyang. She couldn’t possibly repay her kindness with enmity.
And even if she did turn against her, bringing Yangyang back wouldn’t make him forget the past.
In his heart, his sister-in-law was his mother.
A montary lapse, a lifeti of regret.
Thinking of these things, Ji Yunhuan felt extre pain.
After lazing around in bed for a while longer, she got up, washed, and took care of the baby. The morning passed quickly.
In the afternoon, she took Ruirui to the garden to bask in the sun. She found that this house was much bigger than she rembered. The last ti she ca, she didn’t get a chance to explore it.
Compared to this, it was truly a mansion.
Even Qi Cheng’s house paled in comparison.
Judging by its age, it must have been built a long ti ago, but everywhere showed signs of nobility.
"Oh, isn’t this Ms. Ji?" Lin Zhenyu walked over from the depths of the garden with Lin Xiang.
The Lin Family had a good relationship with the Qi Family. Lin Xiang ca and went as if it was her own ho, especially now that she had been dumped by Qi Cheng. Grandfather felt sorry for her.
Seeing the sisters here, Ji Yunhuan greeted them politely, "Madam Zhou, Ms. Lin."
Lin Xiang looked at Ji Yunhuan, jealousy flashing in her eyes. She hated Ji Yunhuan, truly hated her to the core.
Lin Zhenyu, however, remained calm. She glanced at Ruirui in Ji Yunhuan’s arms, "Is this your child?"
Ji Yunhuan smiled, "Madam Zhou, your question is amusing. Of course, the child is mine."
Lin Zhenyu looked over Ruirui, whose little face looked rosy and cute in the sunlight. Lin Zhenyu said, "I heard this child is Bai Liyan’s. Qi Cheng must be really tolerant, accepting another man’s child willingly. Ms. Ji must be quite capable. Even if you’re involved with another man, you still manage to keep Qi Cheng tightly in your grasp, unlike our Lin Xiang who’s so useless."
"....." Although every word from Lin Zhenyu was gentle and reasonable, each was full of malice.
With one word, she insinuated that the child was Bai Liyan’s, which was an insult to Ji Yunhuan’s integrity.
Fortunately, Ji Yunhuan was used to such slander. She smiled, "Congratulations, Madam Zhou."
"Congratulations?" Lin Zhenyu was taken aback. Was Ji Yunhuan ill? Congratulating her?
Ji Yunhuan said, "You’re lucky, Madam Zhou. If Qi Cheng were here and heard you claim his child was soone else’s, he might get so angry he would want to kill."
Lin Zhenyu, who had seen much more of the world than Lin Xiang, remained calm. She chuckled, "Are you trying to threaten with Qi Cheng? You should know I am not afraid of Qi Cheng."
"Mm." Ji Yunhuan responded, "I certainly know you don’t fear Qi Cheng. But do you think Qi Cheng fears you? Since no one fears anyone, why would Madam Zhou co here to stir up trouble?"
"....." Lin Zhenyu didn’t expect Ji Yunhuan to be so fearless. She said, "I was rely stating the truth that everyone knows. Who outside doesn’t know that you and Qi Cheng are divorced? And who doesn’t know about your ambiguous relationship with Bai Liyan? I haven’t wronged you. Since I’m just stating a fact, how is it causing trouble? But you, if you fear gossip, why leave evidence for others to gossip about?"
Seeing Lin Zhenyu becoming increasingly arrogant, Aunt Liu walked over, "The lady is resting here. Please leave."
She was responsible for looking after Ji Yunhuan. If anything happened, Qi Cheng would likely bla her when he returned.
Lin Zhenyu glanced at Aunt Liu indifferently, chuckling, "Where did this servant co from? She doesn’t seem like she’s from the Qi Family."
