Chapter 140: Chapter 140 The Same Principle_1

Qi Cheng sat down on the lounge chair, his head aching terribly.

Su Zi saw him like this and left with Chenchen.

There wasn’t much she could say about adult matters anyway.

Besides, when Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng quarreled, she didn’t want to intervene.

All day, Ji Yunhuan ignored Qi Cheng.

Even at night, when he returned to the room, she didn’t initiate any conversation and just pretended to sleep on the bed.

Although this matter didn’t affect her interests, it touched her principles.

Qi Cheng slipped under the covers and held her from behind. "Still angry?"

Ji Yunhuan didn’t speak.

To avoid getting more irritated by talking to him.

"Haven’t I already explained it to you? What more do you want me to say? If you love me, you should support me this once."

"Support?" Ji Yunhuan retorted dismissively. "I’m not someone who can’t distinguish right from wrong. Supporting you like your brother does? Even when you’re wrong?"

"Yes, yes, you’re always right, and you don’t love me at all. Tonight, Mom and Dad called to scold me. Even my second brother called... They all think I’m wrong. I thought that even if I did something wrong, when everyone was against me, you would understand. But you’re like this, and it makes me very sad." Everyone else might not understand him.

But she was his wife.

Ji Yunhuan felt a headache. Maybe as a wife, she indeed wasn’t doing well.

But she couldn’t tolerate this, "I can only say that you really made a mistake this time. You should make Ye Suya leave."

"You mean you want me to be someone who breaks promises?" Qi Cheng tried to persuade her.

If possible, he really didn’t want to get involved in these messy issues.

Nor did he want to quarrel with her.

He wished they could be happy together.

Arguing over someone else’s affairs, what was that?

"You can even help a mistress; are you still afraid of breaking a promise? This is something your brother brought upon himself. We don’t have the right to criticize or punish him, but we also don’t have the obligation to help him!" Ji Yunhuan finally turned around and glanced at Qi Cheng, "Can’t you think it over properly?"

"I’ve already thought it over." He couldn’t change that decision.

"So you still think you’re not wrong?"

"I know I was wrong, but he’s my brother."

"That’s the typical case of knowing wrong but not correcting it! If you really want to do right by your brother, you should make Ye Suya leave. Have you thought about Leilei? She’s still so young. If your brother and his wife really get divorced, what should she do? Infidelity itself is disgusting. Everyone in the family wants the best for your brother and sister-in-law, but you’re helping your brother cheat. That’s fundamentally wrong." Obviously, a smart person like him should understand this.

Ji Yunhuan couldn’t understand why he insisted on doing something incomprehensible.

Qi Cheng said, "My brother told me he won’t divorce."

"If he doesn’t intend to divorce, why does he care about Ye Suya? He even hit his wife for Ye Suya. Now he naively thinks he can have it all? If he doesn’t break up with Ye Suya, his wife will definitely divorce him. I don’t want to see that and I don’t want Leilei to get hurt. Have you seen Leilei these past two days? It’s so heartbreaking. Even as a child, she understands some things."

Seeing her righteous stance, Qi Cheng sighed helplessly, "Have you ever loved anyone? Sometimes when emotions are involved, you can’t help it. You know it’s wrong, but still..." It was like him and Ji Yunhuan.

He knew he shouldn’t love her, but he still did.

Ji Yunhuan’s eyes turned cold, "I would never let my feelings be based on a mistake. If you don’t even have basic morality, what right do you have to talk about love?"

Hearing her words made Qi Cheng feel icy cold, "So, in your heart, you see me like this? Both Su Zi and Bai Liyan think I shouldn’t love you. So, you also think I’m wrong, right?"

"That’s not the question." Ji Yunhuan hesitated.

"Yes, it is the question!"

"I am your wife! Not a mistress."

"You are Gu Yubai’s fiancée. He calls me uncle! You’re also someone Su Molang likes. I love my friend’s favorite person... Aren’t these the same?" Qi Cheng’s gaze cooled.

He was truly heartbroken!

Seeing his angry expression, Ji Yunhuan hesitated, "Qi Cheng, you know I didn’t mean that. You can’t drag our matters into this argument just because I’m being reasonable. Are you saying that being with me is worse than being with a mistress like Ye Suya? Is that what you mean? If that’s your thought, then we really shouldn’t be together."

If they were really as despicable as he said, what was the point of being together?

"That’s what you said." Qi Cheng laughed coldly, "So, that’s how little I matter to you. I love you. Even if everyone in the world said you were wrong, I would stand by you, instead of opposing me like you are now and criticizing me with everyone else."

"Qi Cheng, you’re being unreasonable."

"Let it be!" He turned back to the bed, not speaking to her anymore.

Seeing him like this, Ji Yunhuan was too lazy to talk.

She could tolerate anything except a mistress.

But he defended a mistress, using their relationship as a comparison.

How ironic!

The bed in the bedroom, when they were on good terms, it seemed huge.

But now, it felt particularly small.

Each lay on one side of the bed, separated by a seeming ocean.

In the morning, Ji Yunhuan, still groggy from sleep, unknowingly edged closer to his side. When her hand unconsciously touched him, he coldly pushed it away.

She was stunned. Taking this opportunity, Qi Cheng got up, directly heading to the bathroom.

Ji Yunhuan was almost fully awake.

Thinking of his coldness, an unnamed anger and sorrow welled up inside her.

How could he treat her like that?

All for an insignificant woman?

Qi Cheng finished washing up, smoked a cigarette, changed clothes in the dressing room, and left.

He didn’t show up at breakfast.

Just after lunch, second sister-in-law and Qi’s mom came over.

Seeing only Ji Yunhuan there, second sister-in-law asked, "Where’s Qi Cheng?"

"I don’t know." Ji Yunhuan didn’t hide anything.

They had fought anyway!

And this time, it wasn’t her fault.

"Had a fight?" Qi’s mom asked.

Ji Yunhuan stayed silent.

"Because of Ye Suya?" second sister-in-law instinctively guessed.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t deny.

Second sister-in-law said, "Qi Cheng is really over the line. Completely misled by his brother!"

Qi’s mom also didn’t blame Ji Yunhuan this time. She told the female housekeeper, "Call your master."

The female housekeeper left for a while then returned, saying, "Master said he doesn’t want to see you."
