Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin
Chapter 124 Not Tonight_1

Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Not Tonight_1

The female housekeeper glanced awkwardly at Ji Yunhuan. "Madam, isn’t this inappropriate?"

Seeing the housekeeper’s reaction and hearing it was Qi Cheng’s second sister-in-law, Ji Min felt delighted.

She never expected Ji Yunhuan to be so willing.

"There’s nothing wrong." Despite the housekeeper’s objections, Ji Yunhuan was insistent.

Not wanting to go against Ji Yunhuan’s wishes, the housekeeper nodded and instructed the servants to prepare.

A moment later, a large foam box was placed on the living room table.

Ji Min looked curiously at her gift. "What is this?"

"These are pesticide-free vegetables grown at the Qi Family Farm, specially prepared for relatives and friends, so we prepared a portion for you as well. You can’t buy these at a regular market." Whenever there were distinguished guests at home, they loved to pick some vegetables from the farm to take back.

Growing vegetables was one of Qi Cheng’s hobbies.

Even Qi Cheng’s mother and second sister-in-law were very interested in the family farm.

"Vegetables?" Ji Min looked at the box in front of her.

She suddenly felt Ji Yunhuan might be joking with her!

Who gives vegetables as gifts?

"Put it in her car and send it to her home." After speaking, Ji Yunhuan glanced at the extremely embarrassed Ji Min. Knowing her materialistic cousin for so many years, how could she not know her personality?

Whenever Ji Min visited their home, she wished Ji Yunhuan would give her everything.

Back then, Ji Yunhuan, thinking they were family, didn’t think much of it. But now...

The more disappointed Ji Min was, the happier Ji Yunhuan felt.

Facing certain people, she realized she could be quite petty too.

"I heard you gave your cousin a box of vegetables?" Qi Cheng asked during dinner.

Ji Yunhuan nodded. "Yes."

She didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

"The last time our second sister-in-law visited, she also received vegetables and was very happy!"

Qi Cheng sighed helplessly. "I understand you have issues with your uncle and aunt, but Yunhuan, you’re not a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl like Su Zi anymore."

"What does my age have to do with it?"

"Even if you don’t like someone, there’s no need to make it so obvious."

"Why?" Ji Yunhuan glanced at him disapprovingly. "If I don’t like someone, do I have to try to please them anyway?"

"It’s not about pleasing, but for people you don’t see often, just put on a facade. You aren’t a child; there’s no need to wear your likes and dislikes on your face. It’s too easy for people to read you." Qi Cheng said, speaking about social etiquette.

Isn’t that just reality?

In life, whether you like someone too much or dislike them too much, you have to learn to endure. Only then can you suffer less.

Ji Yunhuan said, "I’ve always been like this. If I don’t like it, I won’t try to please."

Trying to please Qi Cheng was probably the most unprincipled thing she had ever done.

Listening to her, Qi Cheng sighed helplessly. "Without me, I really don’t know how you’d live."

"Haven’t I always lived well without you?"

Seeing her a bit unhappy, Qi Cheng said, "If you feel bad, forget it. Anyway, I’ll always be by your side to take care of you."

As his wife, she naturally didn’t need to hide her true self.

Ji Yunhuan was momentarily stunned by his words.

She didn’t believe she and Qi Cheng could last. Should she really try to change her flaws?

"Why, are you upset because I said something?" Qi Cheng gazed at her.

His intention was for her own good, not to anger her.

In fact, after her parents’ accident, the reason everyone disliked her was because when her father was around, she spoke and acted bluntly, offending people. That’s why she ended up in such a predicament.

"No." Ji Yunhuan was well aware that her personality wasn’t the best.

In the evening, Qi Cheng followed Ji Yunhuan back to the room. She looked at him. "Are you not working today?"

"I want to rest early today. Unlike last night."

By the time he came back, she was already asleep.

She had no intention of waiting for him at all.

Seeing his gentle gaze, Ji Yunhuan could feel what he was hinting at.

"I’ll go take a shower first." She turned away awkwardly, trying not to think too much.

"No rush." He reached out and wrapped his arms around her from behind, her back against his chest. "After being out all day, I just want to spend some time alone with you now."

"How did the talk with my brother go today?" Ji Yunhuan was concerned about matters at the Gu Family Residence.

Because of what happened five years ago, Qi Cheng didn’t want to discuss it with her, simply saying, "It’s all good."

He leaned on her shoulder. "Did you miss me today?"

"No," she denied.

Qi Cheng was displeased. "You ran through my mind all day, but you didn’t miss me at all? Do you think that’s fair?"

"In this world, is there anything fair? I honestly didn’t miss you!"

"Heartless woman." He tightly embraced her and stayed in the room for a long time.

When Ji Yunhuan went to take a shower, he said, "I’ll join you."

She ignored him, filled the tub, and then pushed Qi Cheng out of the bathroom.

Watching the door close mercilessly, Qi Cheng helplessly smiled.

His wife seemed to be very shy...

After her bath, Ji Yunhuan lay on the pillow, looking at the soft light above, and the man kissing her gently. She could feel his body’s reaction.

"Qi Cheng."

"Yeah?" He looked at her. Seeing that she still had the mind to think about other things, it seemed he hadn’t tried hard enough.

But he patiently waited to see what she had to say.

"You might be disappointed today."

"Uh... why?" Was she rejecting him?

"My period started today." Ji Yunhuan wickedly revealed the truth.

Qi Cheng frowned, "Isn’t it supposed to be in two days?"

"I don’t know either! Maybe it’s because of the recent stress?" Ji Yunhuan looked at him innocently.

Ahem, she didn’t want to disappoint him either.

But there was no choice.

Tonight, it was destined that she couldn’t meet his expectations.

"How about I help you with my hand?" She suggested again.

He grabbed her hand. "No need. I’ll take a shower instead."

"... Is it really okay?" Seeing his disappointed expression, she felt quite guilty.

Seeing her guilty eyes, Qi Cheng couldn’t help but bow down and continue kissing her.

"You don’t think I’m lying, do you?" She asked, teasingly. But he continued. Wasn’t this asking for trouble?

"I know you’re not lying." He looked at her with deep affection, "Holding you like this makes me happy."

Seeing him like that, Ji Yunhuan was a bit touched.

In fact, she also didn’t want Qi Cheng’s so-called love to be just about sex.
