Ji Yunhuan looked at him like this and didn’t refuse his kindness. She just felt that Qi Cheng was being too nice to her today.
She felt a little embarrassed and said, "Qi Cheng, you actually don’t need to pity ."
"Pity?" He looked at her confused, recalling what had happened last night.
After listening to her feelings, he felt deeply guilty. She thought he was pitying her?
He didn’t know what to say.
"Let’s eat! We’re already married, I want to treat you better."
"Qi Cheng..."
"Isn’t it natural to treat one’s wife well? Besides, you’ve been working hard these past few days." Seeing she wanted to say sothing, Qi Cheng interrupted her, reaching out to help her tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.
This gentle gesture made Ji Yunhuan’s heart beat inexplicably faster.
She also didn’t understand why she seed to have no resistance in front of this man.
From the first eting, the feeling he gave her was unusual.
She reached out to push him away and quietly started to enjoy her breakfast.
After eating, they prepared to go ho. After all, the hotel wasn’t as convenient as ho.
Ji Yunhuan also wanted to see Chenchen. She had often left him aside while Qi Cheng was sick, and she felt she was failing her duty.
Qi Cheng didn’t like staying in the hotel either. After they ate, the driver was already waiting downstairs.
Early in the morning, the guests staying in the hotel also began to leave one after another.
The second sister-in-law sent Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan off. "You should go back first. I’ll handle things here."
"Thank you, second sister-in-law," Ji Yunhuan said gratefully.
The second sister-in-law smiled. "No need to be so polite. We’re all family."
In the car, Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng and said, "Second sister-in-law is really kind."
Qi Cheng glanced at her and said, "She is quite enthusiastic. When I was very young, she often ca to the Qi Family, so she’s naturally closer to us."
She really treated the Qi Family mbers as her own family and was enthusiastic about everything.
"What about the eldest sister-in-law?" Ji Yunhuan thought about yesterday’s events. But the eldest sister-in-law was also a mber of this family. She wanted to know more.
Qi Cheng actually didn’t want to talk about the eldest brother and sister-in-law. "The eldest sister-in-law and eldest brother seed to have t in school! In the beginning, their relationship was very good. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have had two children. But both of them are workaholics. The eldest sister-in-law has always cared more about her career, which might be why the eldest brother felt sothing for another woman. It was two years ago when we found out about the other woman. She was pregnant. The eldest sister-in-law sohow found out and made her abort the child. After that, the eldest brother rarely ca ho."
"Didn’t the eldest brother consider divorcing the eldest sister-in-law?" After all, the eldest sister-in-law had aborted his child.
Qi Cheng couldn’t help but laugh at her naivety. "Divorce just like that? How could it be so easy? Marrying into the Qi Family is harder than climbing to heaven, and leaving the Qi Family is just as difficult. In principle, the n in the Qi Family aren’t allowed to divorce." Spreading the news would be bad. Grandfather was extrely stubborn, and unless soone died, the couple had to stay together. No matter how bad their relationship was at ho, they had to appear loving outside.
Listening to Qi Cheng, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but be surprised. "What about ?"
In the beginning, Qi Cheng said that the timing of the divorce would be up to him. He made divorce sound so easy.
Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan. "Isn’t it good not to divorce? You should be happy to be with for a lifeti."
"I’m not happy at all," Ji Yunhuan turned her face away, not looking at him.
She found herself increasingly unable to understand Qi Cheng.
He actually said being together for a lifeti...
In the beginning, she didn’t know why he married her. Now, could it be that he had feelings for her?
It shouldn’t be possible.
A man like him had seen all kinds of won.
As he himself said, he wouldn’t have real feelings for any woman.
He could easily give up his first girlfriend, let alone her.
She didn’t even know which girlfriend she was to him.
After experiencing so many won, it was impossible for him to easily fall in love with soone.
Qi Cheng, seeing her like this, didn’t speak either.
At that mont, he felt very conflicted and didn’t want to think about the future.
It felt like a nightmare that could co at any ti. He was especially afraid of the day she would know the truth. The more he liked this woman, the deeper that fear beca.
When they returned to the Qi Residence, the servants had been waiting.
When they saw them co down, they said in unison, "Congratulations, sir and madam, on your happy marriage and lasting union!"
Hearing the words "lasting union," Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but smile.
It all seed a bit ridiculous!
She helped Qi Cheng down. Seeing the sincerity in everyone’s faces, Qi Cheng was so pleased that he asked the female housekeeper to give out red envelopes to everyone.
After receiving the red envelopes, the servants went happily about their tasks.
Ji Yunhuan helped Qi Cheng into the house and sat him down.
Leaving Qi Cheng downstairs, Ji Yunhuan went upstairs alone, returned to the bedroom, and found a box. It held all the items she had brought with her. Since it was her stuff, the servants who cleaned the room never touched it.
Even though there were many servants here every day, there was no worry about losing anything.
Ji Yunhuan opened the box and found the item she had ntioned in front of her parents. It was a list nearly including all of Mr. Gu’s covert transactions. It involved not only him but also so of the influential people in City A.
Although her father was a businessman, he also held a part-ti position in a special departnt and had connections with many influential people. When trouble ca, he almost took all the bla himself, while those who had dealings with him remained unscathed. Because of this, Ji Yunhuan and her brother Chenchen had been able to live a peaceful life for the past few years.
So from the beginning, she didn’t intend to hand over this list and ruin her and Chenchen’s peaceful life. She had threatened the Gu Family before simply because she found them unpleasant.
But she didn’t expect the Gu Family to use such vicious ans.
Mr. Gu’s current position was quite good. Though it couldn’t be compared to the wealth and power of the Qi Family, he was still a notable figure in City A. As soon as this list was revealed, it wouldn’t only affect him but the entire city’s power structure.
This list was like a hot potato in her hand, and the Gu Family certainly wouldn’t let it go easily.
However, it was also impossible for her to compromise and hand it over to the Gu Family, who wanted her dead.
Should she give it to Qi Cheng?
But she wasn’t sure if Qi Cheng was trustworthy.
She couldn’t trust people she had known for years. She had only known Qi Cheng for a few months. He might not be trustworthy. She couldn’t imagine the consequences when it ca ti for a divorce.
Just then, a servant knocked on the door. "Madam, sir is here."
