Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin

Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Her Cousin_1

Back at home, both Chencheng and Su Zi were already asleep.

Su Zi had moved her room downstairs, next to Chencheng’s, after she came back.

So Ji Yunhuan didn’t disturb them.

She took a shower and then climbed into bed.

When Qi Cheng returned after a phone call with his older brother, he found her already asleep.

"Ji Yunhuan," he called her.

She was sleeping soundly and did not respond to Qi Cheng.

Watching her like this, he reluctantly lay down and turned off the light.

He found himself quite strange. The entire day, he had all sorts of thoughts about her. Yet at this moment, seeing her lying next to him, he felt happier than anything, even without touching her.

Early the next morning, when Ji Yunhuan got up, Qi Cheng had just finished dressing with his back to her.

He glanced at her, seeming to return to normal, no longer the man who clung to her all day yesterday. "I have an appointment with my older brother today. I might not be back until evening."

"What are you meeting your older brother for? You just got back from a business trip, and there’s more work?"

"It’s not work. It’s about the Gu Family." Hearing this, Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan and thought of what happened five years ago...

He used to do everything to hurt her. Now he did it to protect her...

Thinking about it, it was a bit funny.

But he couldn’t treat this matter involving the Gu Family as if it had never happened.

Ji Yunhuan also didn’t ask how he planned to deal with the Gu Family.

After Qi Cheng left, she went to the hospital to keep Wen Wan company.

When she came out, she ran into Ji Min again.

Because she had promised Ji Min last night to take her to the Qi Family, this girl was waiting here.

As soon as Ji Yunhuan walked out of the hospital, Ji Min quickly ran over. "Sister Yunhuan."

Today was the Winter Solstice. It was very cold. Seeing Ji Min’s red, frozen cheeks, Ji Yunhuan had to admire her perseverance.

Since she had already agreed to take Ji Min home, she didn’t stop her.

"Get in the car!"

Unexpectedly, Ji Yunhuan agreed so easily. Ji Min was very happy inside. In the car, she looked at Ji Yunhuan and asked, "Brother-in-law didn’t accompany you today?"

"He had something to do. Why? Are you more interested in him than in me?" Ji Yunhuan glanced at her indifferently.

Ji Min smartly smiled. "How could it be? Caring about brother-in-law is caring about you!"

Ji Yunhuan turned to look out the window without speaking.

Ji Min looked at her cold profile and said, "Sister Yunhuan, my mom said it was our family that wronged you in the past. She asked me to apologize to you on her behalf."

"No need to apologize."

Ji Yunhuan sat upright and replied indifferently.

Ji Min giggled. "I knew Sister Yunhuan, you’re magnanimous and wouldn’t mind past things. After all, we are one family, right?"

"One family?" Ji Yunhuan looked at her disapprovingly. Thinking of what her second aunt used to say, she really couldn’t see how they were like one family. But saying more about this wouldn’t help.

She said to Ji Min, "When I say no need to apologize, I mean no matter how you apologize, it doesn’t matter. So no need to apologize!"

Ji Min’s face stiffened. But since it was their family that wronged Ji Yunhuan first, she could only accept it.

She waved the gift box in her hand, awkwardly changing the topic. "This is a gift I prepared for Chencheng. What do you think?"

She opened the box. Inside were some small toys. If it were the Chencheng from five years ago, he would have been very interested in these things. Seeing this, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help rubbing her temples.

In the eyes of the Ji Family, was Chencheng still an eleven-year-old kid?

Would he like such things?

Today Su Zi went to class. Chencheng was watching TV alone in his room. Ji Min followed Ji Yunhuan inside. "Little Chencheng, I’ve come to see you."

Chencheng looked up at Ji Min but didn’t say anything.

He had seen the Ji Family at the last wedding, but he didn’t pay attention to them.

He was well aware of how these people treated him and his sister.

Facing Chencheng’s cold expression, Ji Min didn’t mind and handed over the gift she had brought.

Chencheng looked at the box opened in front of him, at the toys inside, and almost couldn’t help but laugh.

He kindly reminded, "I’m already sixteen."

Ji Min awkwardly said, "So you don’t like this?"

Chencheng looked at her. "We haven’t had any contact for five years. Why the sudden closeness? With relatives like us, aren’t you embarrassed?"

"Embarrassed, why would we?" Ji Min exaggerated on purpose.

She originally thought Chencheng would be easier to appease, but he turned out to be tougher than Ji Yunhuan.

She felt very uncomfortable after being rejected by Chencheng. But she had to smile apologetically at Ji Yunhuan, "I didn’t expect Chencheng to grow up so much."

"Didn’t you see him at the wedding last time?"

"There were so many people that day. I didn’t really pay attention." Ji Min said awkwardly.

Even though Chencheng appeared at the wedding, they didn’t pay much attention because they were so focused on Qi Cheng.

In their eyes, they only wanted to study what kind of man Ji Yunhuan married.

This attitude showed Ji Yunhuan that they didn’t care about her or Chencheng.

After checking on Chencheng, Ji Min took a brief tour of the Qi Family house, once again shocked by its luxury.

During dinner, Ji Min curiously asked, "Sister Yunhuan, how did you meet brother-in-law?"

"Is that important?" Ji Yunhuan looked at her indifferently. Like watching a clown perform.

"The Ji Family is no longer what it used to be. It’s unimaginable that you could marry into the Qi Family." After all, after the incident with the Ji Family, even their relatives didn’t want to associate with Ji Yunhuan, let alone ordinary people!

Because of this, Ji Yunhuan realized how much Qi Cheng had given her.

She smiled at Ji Min. "Should I have married a very poor man, then?"

Probably, in the eyes of these people who loved wealth and despised the poor, the poor should spend their whole lives with the poor to be logical.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t expose Ji Min’s little thoughts.

After dinner, it was time to send Ji Min back.

Since she brought Ji Min here, she decided to find a driver to send her back.

The female housekeeper beside her reminded, "Since she is the madam’s cousin, you should give her some gifts."

In the housekeeper’s opinion, Ji Yunhuan’s lack of etiquette would disgrace Qi Cheng.

Ji Min, initially disappointed for her wasted trip, became happy again at the mention of gifts.

Her eyes flashed with joy.

Seeing that she didn’t refuse and was waiting for her to give something, Ji Yunhuan smiled.

Indeed...

If Ji Min left empty-handed, it would be inappropriate.

Ji Min thought that given the house’s wealth, anything Ji Yunhuan gave would be impressive.

She didn’t know what Ji Yunhuan had in mind.

Ji Yunhuan looked at the housekeeper. "The gifts that Second Sister-in-law took a few days ago, prepare the same set for her!"
