Chapter 179: Chapter 179 Go Take a Shower_1

The chubby owner went to greet other guests and ignored her. She sat at the table in the corner, unconsciously drinking quite a bit.

"Sir." The chubby owner’s voice rang out.

A tall, dark figure walked in. The man’s gaze fell on her immediately.

"You’re here to see Xiao Huan?" The chubby owner understood with just one glance.

"Yes." The man softly responded, sitting down in front of Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan raised her head and looked at him without too much surprise. "Why did you come?"

Qi Cheng sat opposite her, his slender fingers lightly resting on the pristine tabletop. He looked at her, knowing she went to see Su Zi, and could tell things did not go as smoothly as expected.

"Came to keep you company."

His voice carried a gentle warmth.

Ji Yunhuan smiled after hearing that.

She had drunk quite a bit of rice wine and felt somewhat dizzy. Supporting her head with her hand, her hair fell messily, covering her face, making it hard for anyone to see her expression. "I’ll leave in a while. You didn’t need to come."

Qi Cheng looked at her without discussing the issue of whether he should have come. "If you’ve had enough, come back with me. If not, I’ll wait here with you."

"Qi Cheng, I’m very sad. I don’t know why at this time I appear so useless." She actually needed to beg Su Zi to feel secure about sending Chenchen into surgery.

"You’re indeed useless." Qi Cheng said mercilessly, "Bai Liyan said the surgery is the day after tomorrow. You should be spending more time with Chenchen, not sitting here feeling sorry for yourself. This isn’t like you."

"Then what kind of person do you think I am?" She laughed, moving her hair back with a hand. This simple action made her seem very charming, albeit a bit disheveled.

Looking at Qi Cheng, Ji Yunhuan appeared helpless. "Actually, I am this kind of person. Inept, cowardly. Precisely because of this, I want others to think I am invincible. I really am useless! I am just this kind of useless person."

"Yes, you are useless." Qi Cheng stood up, took cash out of her wallet, and placed it on the table. Then he helped her up.

Outside, it was a bit cold. Ji Yunhuan looked blankly at the street as Qi Cheng held her in his arms. "Sober now?"

She grabbed his clothes. "I’m not drunk."

"You’re already drunk." Qi Cheng looked at her mercilessly. "A tiny issue can beat you down like this? Ji Yunhuan, you really are cowardly like this, unlike your usual self. Chenchen is having surgery to live better, not to die. But you, why do you act like he is about to die? Why do you think this way? If even you don’t have faith in him, how can he possibly get through it?"

"..." Her head felt heavy, like it was sinking.

But every word he said sobered her.

She rested against his chest, the warmth there made it hard to push him away.

The winter street seemed pale and aged.

Qi Cheng looked at her as she had fallen asleep. He sent her into the car.

"From now on, what you need to do is to stay by his side and give him hope!"

Waking up in a spacious bedroom, Ji Yunhuan’s ears still echoed Qi Cheng’s words.

She knew she was drunk.

Staring at the ceiling, she was in a daze for a while.

"Awake?" Two fingers lifted her chin.

He looked down at her.

Ji Yunhuan responded softly. She knew Qi Cheng had brought her back, and for some reason, she didn’t dare to look into his eyes. "I drank too much."

"It’s good that you know." Qi Cheng glanced at her disdainfully. "Hurry and take a bath."

She clearly felt his disdain and frowned. "Qi Cheng, are you looking down on me?"

"If you get drunk like this again, I won’t just look down on you." He reached out and pulled her up from the bed.

Ji Yunhuan was pushed into the bathroom; the water was already running. He began to take off her sweater.

She looked at him numbly. "I can do it myself."

Qi Cheng insisted on helping her remove her sweater. "Su Zi didn’t agree to see Chenchen?"

"Yes." Her hair was messy, covering her face, making her look like a ghost.

She reached out to grasp his neck. "Are you afraid of me like this?"

Qi Cheng laughed helplessly. "Even if you become a ghost, I will still like you the same."

"Uh..." Ji Yunhuan was really stunned by his words.

He lowered his head and gently kissed her hair, then whispered in her ear. "Have a good bath. I’ll come to check on you later."

The door closed as Qi Cheng left her alone in the bathroom to undress and bathe. After a while, she remembered he said, check on her... Check what?

Ji Yunhuan stood under the shower, wiping away the condensation on the mirror. She saw her face and her body that could make a man’s blood surge, and recalled what Qi Cheng told her.

Indeed, Chenchen was just having surgery, not going to die. Besides, Bai Liyan had never failed before. He had cured so many special cases and never missed. What was she worried about?

Instead of making Su Zi come back now, it would be better to wait until Chenchen recovered.

Thinking of Chenchen running around outside like the other kids every day, she suddenly felt a bit excited.

"Finished washing up?" As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she heard Qi Cheng’s calm voice. He had been standing at the door waiting for her.

Ji Yunhuan nodded. "Yes. Feel free to check!"

He lowered his head and bit her ear. "Trying to seduce me?"

She probed her hand inside his shirt. "You must have been holding back for days, right?"

"As long as you know. Don’t tease me!" Qi Cheng said sternly.

She didn’t expect him to act like a gentleman at this moment.

Ji Yunhuan’s hand still rested on his chest and did not withdraw. "I just love seeing you like this, all pitiful."

"If you keep this up, you’ll be more miserable than me." He grabbed her shoulders and fiercely bit her lips.

Damn!

He really did bite!

"It hurts." Ji Yunhuan pushed him away.

Qi Cheng looked at her and lightly hummed, "That’s why I told you not to provoke me. I still have to attend a meeting later."

"Meeting?" Ji Yunhuan glanced at him. "Since when did meetings become so important to you?"

"Bai Liyan’s meeting." Qi Cheng held her in his arms and didn’t rush to let go. "Take good care of Chenchen. Be good and don’t cause trouble. For this surgery, I won’t let them fail."

"Yes." In fact, Ji Yunhuan had already figured it out. She couldn’t be so pessimistic.

Looking at Qi Cheng, she could see the exhaustion in his eyes. He hadn’t rested well either during this period when she hadn’t.

"Thank you for your hard work."

He looked at her, kissed her deeply, then turned and walked out the door.
