Chapter 109: Chapter 109: He Who Is Deeply Poisoned_1

"Qi Cheng." Ji Yunhuan spoke.

Qi Cheng’s hand paused. He finally looked at her. "What?"

He thought, Ji Yunhuan must have hated him to the core.

He didn’t even have a chance to be forgiven.

"Do you know Su Molang?" Ji Yunhuan looked into his eyes, holding his gaze.

This sensitive question made Qi Cheng’s heart tighten suddenly.

He suppressed his inner feelings and nodded. "Yes, he is my best friend."

She already knew from Bai Liyan. There was no point in hiding it.

"Do you know he used to like me?" Ji Yunhuan’s hand subconsciously gripped the quilt.

Qi Cheng paused and nodded again.

He knew Su Molang liked her. Yet he still developed feelings for this woman.

Thinking of this, he hated himself more than anyone else.

"So, you married me because of him, right?" She was afraid to meet his eyes, but forced herself not to look away.

She did not want to believe that was the truth.

This time, Qi Cheng chose silence.

He did not nod, but he did not deny it either.

Ji Yunhuan took it as a tacit admission.

She asked, "Did you marry me out of sympathy for me because of him, or to take revenge on his behalf?"

Both were possible. However, either way made her heart ache.

Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan. He did not understand why these questions haunted him a thousand times each day. But when she asked them so directly, he found them difficult to face.

He lowered his head, reached out to pull her into his arms, and pressed his forehead against her face, trying to divert her attention. "Rest for a while. We can discuss this later. You look awful right now!"

He did not want to face it or answer the question.

He really did not want to see her hating him.

Ji Yunhuan reached out to push him away, but he grabbed her hand, looking as if he was afraid of losing her.

Helplessly, she reminded him, "I am sick. This can infect you."

He hugged her tighter. "I do not care, just infect me."

Staring at Qi Cheng, Ji Yunhuan felt that it was not her who was sick, but Qi Cheng.

He looked very guilty.

Was he this scared because she found out the truth?

"So, you married me really just for Su Molang, right?"

"Sorry," Qi Cheng thought she knew everything about Su Molang and what happened to her family. He felt any further explanation would be useless. So, he did not explain.

Seeing his remorseful look, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh. "Many times, I naively thought I held some place in your heart, but I didn’t expect..."

It turned out he married her only for Su Molang.

Now that the truth was out, he did not even bother to comfort her.

Qi Cheng looked at her, unsure of how to tell her that she held more than just a place in his heart. Many times, she was so important that he almost forgot about Su Molang and the past.

But now...

As a man who indirectly caused her family’s downfall, he did not seem to have the right to say such things.

He found himself unable to utter a word in defense.

Looking at Ji Yunhuan, he felt his throat tighten painfully. "Get some rest. I’ll call the doctor for you."

"Qi Cheng!" Seeing him about to leave, Ji Yunhuan felt reluctant.

Very reluctant.

Couldn’t he just lie to make her happy?

Why did he have to admit that being with her was just for Su Molang?

Whether he wanted to take care of her for Su Molang or seek revenge for him, regardless of the reason, it seemed ridiculous to her. Because this meant he never truly cared about her?

But what about her?

Why was she so heartbroken after learning the truth?

Qi Cheng knew she called him to unravel the past question by question. He stopped but dared not look back, taking a deep breath. "If you don’t want to live with me anymore, we can divorce. I won’t force you!"

After saying this, he quickly walked out, missing the look of despair in Ji Yunhuan’s eyes.

Ha ha... ha ha...

It was too laughable.

He had desperately wanted to marry her. Yet the truth behind it was because of someone long gone.

How cruel!

How ironic!

She did not know why, although she knew he had no feelings for her, the truth still hurt so much.

Qi Cheng left the room to find a doctor. Right at the door stood Bai Liyan, the best doctor.

Seeing him, Qi Cheng felt a surge of disappointment and anger.

This was his most trusted friend who had stabbed him in the back.

Had Bai Liyan not revealed everything, he wouldn’t be facing this difficult situation now.

Bai Liyan noticed the coldness and anger in his eyes. "Qi Cheng."

"Leave, I don’t want to see you." The usually elegant and restrained man had lost his composure. He ignored Bai Liyan and instructed the servant outside, "Call a doctor."

"Aren’t you looking for a doctor? I am a doctor. I know her illness best. I can prescribe her medicine." Bai Liyan volunteered.

"I do not need your hypocrisy." Qi Cheng refused coldly.

The servant glanced at Bai Liyan, thinking with Dr. Bai here, there was no need to find another doctor. But Qi Cheng’s attitude was terrifying.

She had never seen Qi Cheng being so rude to Bai Liyan.

She dared not say anything and left.

Qi Cheng coldly told Bai Liyan, "Do not show up in front of me from now on. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee I will still consider our past friendship."

"Just for her? Just for a woman?" Bai Liyan had only mentioned Su Molang’s matter, hoping Ji Yunhuan could understand Su Zi through it. He had not expected this deep resentment from Qi Cheng.

"In my heart, she is more than just a woman!" Qi Cheng said angrily. "Anyway, I do not want to see you. I have nothing to say to someone who betrayed my trust."

"She would have known eventually. I just chose an appropriate time to tell her."

Bai Liyan hadn’t expected that within such a short period, Qi Cheng had fallen so deeply for Ji Yunhuan.

"You are not qualified to tell her everything!" Qi Cheng said coldly, walking alone to the balcony.

He needed to calm down.

Watching his back, Bai Liyan sighed helplessly and turned to leave.

Soon, the servant brought the doctor. "Sir."

Qi Cheng led the doctor into the bedroom.
