Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Waking Up in His Arms_1

A minute passed, two minutes passed...

The space was deathly silent.

"Are you done yet?" Qi Cheng urged.

Ji Yunhuan scowled, "You go outside."

With him here, she simply couldn’t pee.

Even though she was dying from urgency!

"I was already outside."

"Mr. Qi, please, just go out for a moment, okay?" Just the thought of her using the bathroom with him standing beside the door, even though his back was turned, made her unbearably embarrassed.

"If you keep talking, I’ll come in," Qi Cheng threatened.

He had never seen someone like her.

He didn’t actually intend to make things difficult for her; he was just... worried something might happen to her if she were alone.

After all, she had slept for so long and still had a fever. It was very likely she could faint.

Yet, she was so ungrateful.

Ji Yunhuan looked at his tall back, closed her eyes, and continued to endure the torment.

A moment later, Qi Cheng finally went out. "Call me when you’re done."

He had really indulged her!

When had he ever accommodated a woman like this?

Even helping her use the bathroom.

And she was still this unappreciative.

Without him there, Ji Yunhuan quickly finished her business. Hearing the sound of the toilet flushing, Qi Cheng walked back in. She was already standing by the sink...

Washing her hands.

He grabbed a towel from the rack, stood beside her, and after she washed one hand, he used the towel to help her dry it. The other hand was also wiped clean.

Back in the bedroom, Ji Yunhuan sat to the side, looking at the halfway-filled IV drip, "When will this be done?"

She actually felt fine, and the IV was just a nuisance.

Qi Cheng said, "This is the fourth bottle; there’s one more to go."

"One more bottle?" Ji Yunhuan was extremely depressed.

Qi Cheng said, "You can sleep a bit more."

She had no choice but to lie back down, scrutinizing the extremely meticulous man in front of her. "You, weren’t you angry today?"

Her question made Qi Cheng’s face stiffen once more. "So you knew I was angry?"

Ji Yunhuan felt he was looking for trouble and closed her eyes to avoid him.

She fell asleep again and heard Qi Cheng calling her. "Ji Yunhuan."

She ignored him!

Thinking of Xie Xingwei, she inexplicably didn’t want to talk to this man.

He called again, "Ji Yunhuan, get up!"

She didn’t move, letting him do as he pleased.

After a while, the room was filled with the aroma of food. Her stomach was already empty, and the temptation made her drool, finally waking her up.

The food cart pushed up by the servant was placed beside her, and the previously bothersome IV was also removed.

Seeing her awake, he quickly said, "Get up and eat something before going back to sleep."

He knew she hadn’t eaten anything since coming back.

Ji Yunhuan looked at the food on the table and, with his help, sat up.

He handed her a towel for her to wipe her hands before pushing the food cart closer.

The food was placed right beside her, within reach.

But the portions were clearly enough for two. "There’s so much food, I can’t finish it."

She wasn’t a pig!

No matter how hungry, she couldn’t eat that much.

Qi Cheng glanced at her and started eating himself. It was supposed to be dinnertime, but he had been taking care of her until now.

Watching him eat so much, Ji Yunhuan finally confirmed her suspicions. "You didn’t have dinner?"

"No." He calmly put down his utensils.

"Why didn’t you eat?" An able-bodied person not eating at mealtime was just ridiculous.

Qi Cheng glanced at her coldly, amazed she could even ask such a question.

But due to "because she hadn’t eaten," he absolutely couldn’t admit it.

"I wasn’t hungry then, but now I am." He casually gave an excuse and watched her from the side. "Are you done eating?"

"Yeah."

She had almost finished.

Soon, a servant came to clear the dishes.

After that, Qi Cheng also left coolly.

The room suddenly felt empty with only her left.

In the morning, Ji Yunhuan woke up to find an arm around her. Opening her eyes, she saw Qi Cheng, who had returned to their bed at some point, and questions filled her mind.

She had slept late and hadn’t seen him at all. When had he come in?

The point was, the man who hadn’t wanted to share a bed even on their wedding night, what was he trying to do now?

She reached out to push him away but suddenly heard his voice, "You’re awake?"

She felt uncomfortable, "When did you come over?"

"When you were asleep."

He stretched his hand, pulling her back into his arms, placing his hand on her head. He suddenly started asking, "Where did you go yesterday?"

She didn’t hide, "Hospital, why?"

"Your brother’s visitation day wasn’t yesterday." He had already investigated her thoroughly.

Ji Chen only had three visitation days a week.

So, there was no reason for her to be at the hospital yesterday.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Gu Yubai had a car accident. I went to see him."

Anyway, it wasn’t something to be ashamed of. She didn’t want to hide it.

"You’re quite attentive to your ex-fiancé," he said sarcastically.

She inexplicably sensed his displeasure.

Ji Yunhuan found it funny, "Mr. Qi is so interested in my affairs?"

"Your current status is that of Mrs. Qi. Don’t do things that displease me."

"Sorry," Ji Yunhuan obediently apologized, "I just didn’t think Mr. Qi would be unhappy."

"No man likes his wife being entangled with another man."

"I’m not entangled with Gu Yubai, just wanted to see how miserable he is."

"And?"

"He is very miserable, which makes me very happy."

Qi Cheng looked at her and suddenly thought, "Ji Yunhuan, if one day we divorce, and I have a car accident, would you be this happy?"

She held grudges like this.

Ji Yunhuan was surprised. "Mr. Qi, your thoughts are fascinating. If one day you are dissatisfied enough to divorce me, why would you care about my feelings? Or are all men like this? Coldly leaving but still wanting the woman to remember you?"

Her eyes turned cold. This question made her very unhappy.

"You can be this heartless because you never loved Gu Yubai. If a woman still had feelings for a man, she wouldn’t be able to be this heartless," he almost confidently said.

"True! Mr. Qi must have encountered many women like that. No matter how heartless you were to them, they still couldn’t forget you. But I am not those women. I didn’t love Gu Yubai, and I won’t love you either."

"I’m different from Gu Yubai."

"You’re both men. What’s the difference?"

Her mocking expression ignited his desire to conquer. He dominantly declared, "Ji Yunhuan, one day, I will make you love me."

"No need to wait for one day. I love you very much now, Mr. Qi." Love his money and power, and that he could temporarily make her life less awkward.

Her words seemed to mock him.

Qi Cheng didn’t mind. He smiled and said, "There will come a day, just wait and see?"
