Chapter 107: Chapter 107: The Passers-by of Youth_1

Ji Yunhuan returned to the car and searched for the car keys but couldn’t find them.

Bai Liyan stood by and watched her frantically looking for the keys. He walked over and said, "Your keys are here."

His voice was gentle, completely different from the cold demeanor he had earlier.

Ji Yunhuan stepped back instinctively as he approached. She felt that Bai Liyan detested her and found him very dangerous.

Seeing her avoid him, Bai Liyan asked in a steady voice, "Do you think I will hurt you? Don’t worry, I won’t. You are Qi Cheng’s wife now. Unless you’ve done something to hurt him, I won’t lay a hand on you."

Ji Yunhuan tried to take the keys from his hand. "I need to go back."

"I’ll take you," Bai Liyan said but did not hand over the keys. "I’ll take you."

"No need," Ji Yunhuan refused.

She was still digesting difficult facts and didn’t want too much contact with Bai Liyan as her emotions were unstable.

Bai Liyan noticed her discomfort. "You are not in a condition to drive now."

Fortunately, he had brought along a driver. The driver could take his car back while he took the keys and opened Ji Yunhuan’s car door, looking at her, "Or would you prefer to stay here?"

Ji Yunhuan glanced at his composed expression. He was a doctor, exuding an aura of trustworthiness. She hesitated for a moment and reluctantly accepted Bai Liyan’s proposal.

Once in the car, Bai Liyan removed his overcoat and tossed it aside. His driver led the way, and he followed in Ji Yunhuan’s car.

Due to the rain, they drove slowly.

After two hours, the driver called and said, "Mr. Bai, there’s a landslide ahead. We can’t go any further for now."

Bai Liyan stopped the car and went out with an umbrella to assess the situation. Many vehicles were forced to stop.

Back in the car, he told Ji Yunhuan, "We can’t go ahead for now. We passed a hotel on the way here. Let’s stay there for the night. It’s too dangerous to go on now."

They hadn’t even reached halfway back because of the slow pace.

Seeing many vehicles turning back, Ji Yunhuan realized they had no other option.

They arrived at the hotel and booked two rooms. As they were going upstairs, Bai Liyan said, "Take a shower and get some rest. I will call you if anything comes up."

He knew the things he told her today might have been a considerable blow. She hadn’t spoken much during the entire journey downhill, and her expression didn’t look good.

He originally intended to give her a minor punishment, but seeing how unsettled she was because of Su Molang, he felt he might have gone too far.

Ji Yunhuan nodded and closed the door.

A second later, there was a knock on the door.

Ji Yunhuan opened it to see Bai Liyan standing there.

"Dr. Bai, is there anything else?"

"This kind of hotel isn’t very safe. For a woman like you, be cautious. If anything happens, call me first."

Several men had ogled her when they entered the elevator.

Ji Yunhuan nodded. "Thanks for the concern. I understand."

She locked the door and went to the bathroom, noticing her complexion was indeed poor.

Learning the news from Bai Liyan not only filled her with guilt and anxiety but also made her question Qi Cheng’s motives for marrying her.

Reflecting on Qi Cheng’s reactions since their marriage, she realized it wasn’t just simple affection that led him to marry her.

In fact, the disdain she felt from him before was not her imagination. The more she thought about it, the more stifling it became.

Instead of showering, she only washed her face and lay down on the bed. The rain continued to pour outside as she closed her eyes in exhaustion.

"Hello, my name is Su Molang." On her father’s birthday, Su Molang appeared in her sight for the first time.

When Su Molang greeted Ji Yunhuan, one of his classmates quickly stopped him: "Let’s go somewhere else!"

Implying that he shouldn’t provoke the temperamental heiress.

Ji Yunhuan had long been used to the way people looked at her and didn’t care.

Walking back after a round, she found Su Molang still following her.

Hands leisurely in his pockets, he observed her. Sixteen or seventeen-year-old Ji Yunhuan had proud eyes but a tender face.

Her features destined her to become a stunning beauty.

Su Molang fell for her at first sight.

But shortly after, he witnessed the heiress’s temper: "Why are you following me?"

Her voice was cold and icy.

Yet it pierced his heart deeply.

Fate is meeting the person you’ve been waiting for in a sea of people, and he felt lucky to have met her.

Su Molang smiled, "Because you’re beautiful."

"If you keep following me, I don’t mind having someone kick you out."

And that day, Su Molang was indeed expelled from the Ji Family by her. In front of all the guests.

Not only had he followed her, but he had also gone to the backyard and seen her with her brother. The way she lovingly treated her brother was unlike her cold demeanor in public, her gentleness unprecedentedly beautiful.

So, she wasn’t indifferent to everyone! This made him want to get closer to her even more.

Though expelled, Su Molang was undeterred.

After that, at various A City events, she would always run into him.

"Why are you alone today? Your little boyfriend didn’t accompany you?"

"He must have gone on a date with some beauty, leaving you here alone."

"..."

She also ran into him in different classes.

He even practiced the violin with her.

After encountering him many times, they became acquainted. Ji Yunhuan didn’t bother driving him away anymore.

After all, a clingy stalker like him was a first for her.

At that time, Ji Yunhuan’s relationship with Gu Yubai wasn’t good.

They had just gotten engaged not long ago, and both were in their teens. They would give each other the silent treatment for a long time after arguments. Though it always ended with "Mrs. Gu dragging Gu Yubai to apologize," it gave Su Molang plenty of chances.

In Su Molang’s eyes, Gu Yubai, her fiancé, had already become just a background figure.

However, Ji Yunhuan’s understanding of Su Molang was limited to the fact that he studied at A City University.

He never mentioned his family, and Ji Yunhuan wasn’t interested in knowing.

On her birthday, he gave her a wooden pet.

Unlike others who only gave her luxury items.

Seeing the meticulously crafted piece, she couldn’t help but smile.

She didn’t have many friends, and Su Molang was rare, drawn into her inner circle.

Later, Su Molang said, "Yunhuan, be my girlfriend!"

She refused, "I already have Gu Yubai."

"You two have no feelings for each other." He had been by Ji Yunhuan’s side long enough to know. And at that time, Gu Yubai was rather immature.
