"Offend?" Ji Yunhuan looked at Du Yan dismissively. "Did I just offend you? You’re overthinking it. I haven’t even started offending you yet!"
Ji Yunhuan had wanted to do it since the day of the competition. She just wasn’t sure what Qi Cheng was thinking then, so she didn’t want to cause him trouble.
Now that she ran into Du Yan, letting him go would be a joke.
Ji Yunhuan signaled, and the bodyguards quickly grabbed Du Yan.
"What do you an by this?" Despite being extrely angry, Du Yan’s face still carried a fake smile.
Ji Yunhuan said, "It doesn’t an anything. I just want to beat you up. Go ahead!"
The bodyguards grabbed Du Yan and gave him a good beating.
When she thought about those days in Jiangling, how hard Qi Cheng worked on those design drafts, gave them to this man, and didn’t even get paid fully, she felt both angry and distressed.
By the ti the bodyguards let go of Du Yan, his face was bruised and swollen. However, because Ji Yunhuan told them to show rcy, they didn’t inflict any serious injuries on him.
His suit was wrinkled, his once handso face now unrecognizable, looking rather comical. He stood up leaning against the wall and glared at Ji Yunhuan. "You’ll pay for this!"
His anger made his face even more hideous. Ji Yunhuan glanced at him, ignored him, and went back to the restaurant.
"Did you hit him?" Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan hadn’t brought Yangyang and Ruirui ho; they stayed in the room at the top of Jingyang Tower.
Qi Cheng was a bit surprised when he heard what happened today from Ji Yunhuan.
"I didn’t personally; I had soone else do it." Ji Yunhuan was making formula for Ruirui. Despite venting her anger, her fury had not dissipated. "When I think about how hard you worked in Jiangling and how he double-crossed you, I get livid."
For her to hold back until now, she admired her own patience.
Qi Cheng looked at her with his dark eyes in silence. Ji Yunhuan, seeing him staring at her, asked worriedly, "Are you mad at for hitting him? Shouldn’t I have hit him?"
Qi Cheng paused, realizing his gaze had caused the misunderstanding. He smiled, "Mad at you? I’m thankful! Honey, you’re so good to . How can I thank you? I guess I’ll just have to offer myself to you tonight."
"..." She looked at him speechlessly. "What nonsense! Yangyang is here."
Ji Yunhuan quickly returned to her sons with the bottle.
Qi Cheng followed and said, "I’m very happy that you did this for ."
"I’m glad you’re happy. Wash up and go to bed early." Ji Yunhuan handed a cup of milk to Yangyang, and after he finished drinking, handed the cup to Qi Cheng. She didn’t like having servants around when the family was together; she preferred doing everything herself.
Yangyang looked at them and asked, "Are we not going ho?"
"Not tonight." Ji Yunhuan thought he had co to terms with it since he had been so quiet, but she was wrong. He still missed ho. Rather, he missed his second sister-in-law.
Ji Yunhuan looked at her son. After learning they wouldn’t go ho, his eyes quickly showed disappointnt. She gently patted his head, "Yangyang, don’t you like it here? It’s quite nice. Look, you can even see outside. Shall I take you to look?"
Ji Yunhuan carried him to the window, showing him the shimring city below. Qi Cheng had never brought Yangyang here before. To him, this place was like a secret refuge, filled with his loneliness and sorrow.
No matter how successful he was outside every day, returning here with the city’s lights below, he would think of her.
He didn’t want anyone stepping into this place that belonged solely to him.
But now it was different. Ji Yunhuan was back by his side.
This place belonged to him, and his family. That’s why he brought them here.
Yangyang stared outside. Ji Yunhuan asked, "Do you think it’s pretty?"
Yangyang nodded.
Ji Yunhuan smiled. "The scenery is so beautiful here. We won’t leave today, okay?"
"But I miss Mom."
"I am your mom!"
"No, you’re not..."
Ji Yunhuan’s eyes reflected a hint of sadness. She looked at Yangyang helplessly. "These many days, hasn’t Yangyang thought of as your mom? In this world, only I am your mother, no one else. You’re my biological child, do you understand?"
Yangyang looked at Ji Yunhuan and shook his head like a drum.
Honestly, Ji Yunhuan felt hurt by her son’s rejection.
Yangyang was quite fussy because he hadn’t seen his second sister-in-law for two days. He made such a fuss that Ji Yunhuan spent a long ti calming him down before he finally fell asleep. She felt deeply exhausted.
She thought spending more ti with her son would make him gradually rely on her. But it seed he was only being compliant because of his second sister-in-law.
Ji Yunhuan couldn’t sleep. She felt a pair of arms wrap around her from behind. Looking up at Qi Cheng beside her, she whispered, "You’re still awake?"
"You’re awake too!" Qi Cheng said. "Are you upset about Yangyang again?"
"No, I’m not that fragile." She just sotis felt sentintal when Yangyang fell asleep.
Although Yangyang was two to three years older than Ruirui, he was much harder to coax.
Qi Cheng held her hand. His warm breath enveloped her. Ji Yunhuan felt safe in his arms. Thinking of Du Yan’s issue during the day, she asked, "What are you going to do about Du Yan?"
"We’ll see." Qi Cheng said. "Don’t think about people like him. Aren’t you afraid of nightmares?"
"..." She laughed helplessly. "I’m not a child."
"Sleep."
The next morning, the family returned ho. The second sister-in-law was there and missing Yangyang after two days.
Seeing Yangyang running into her arms as soon as the door opened, she hugged him.
Yangyang said, "Mom, where were you the last two days? I missed you so much."
Hearing this filled the second sister-in-law’s heart. She looked up at Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan, who had just co in. They still seed wary of her and weren’t warm at all.
She stood up and continued to express her concern for Yangyang. "Did you have breakfast?"
"No."
"Shall I make it for you?"
"Yes."
"Let’s go upstairs first," Ji Yunhuan said, glancing at Qi Cheng as they went up together.
Taking Yangyang away now would surely make him cry as he had waited for the second sister-in-law for two days.
The second sister-in-law asked, "Aren’t you going to have breakfast?"
