Chapter 233: Chapter 233 Baby is Hungry (1)_1

She took a deep breath, treating everything Gu Yubai had said as nonsense—Gu Yubai just couldn’t stand to see her happy with Qi Cheng. She had seen Gu Yubai’s behavior before; maybe he just wanted her to leave Qi Cheng!

So she wouldn’t doubt Qi Cheng, who loved her so much, because of Gu Yubai’s nonsense.

Qi Cheng was so good to her; he even risked everything to save her life. They had a child together, and the baby was just a month old...

She didn’t dare think of such a possibility, she preferred to keep living simply with him.

When she got home and got out of the car, she found Qi Cheng waiting for her.

She looked at him, trying hard to suppress her emotions. She didn’t want him to know she had met with Gu Yubai, or that she had heard what he said.

Qi Cheng stood a few meters away, looking at her. He didn’t approach her like before, just silently watching her, his calm exterior hiding a heart that was pounding restlessly, unable to return to its original place.

After Ji Yunhuan left the Ji Family, the maid who had been left behind called to inform Qi Cheng of everything. He knew she now knew everything!

She knew it all!

She knew what he had done wrong in the past.

She knew he had indirectly caused her parents’ deaths.

How would she face him?

How much would she hate him?

Maybe she would never speak to him again.

Ji Yunhuan initially wanted to walk towards him with her usual smile, but Qi Cheng’s expression inexplicably rendered her speechless.

Qi Cheng walked toward her step by step, looking at her with eyes full of guilt, eager to save something, "Yunhuan, I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. I never thought things would develop that way. I just..."

"Yes, I was hateful. To this day, I have regretted it countless times. If time could go back, I definitely wouldn’t do that!"

"What are you talking about?" Ji Yunhuan’s heart suddenly went cold.

She looked at Qi Cheng in disbelief. If she heard correctly, was he admitting to it?

Was he admitting that he caused the Ji Family to come to this point?

Qi Cheng looked at her with a broken heart, "You know, don’t you?"

This had been tormenting him ever since he started loving her.

"What do I know?" Ji Yunhuan found it laughable. Truly, the heavens did not favor her!

She couldn’t even pretend to be deaf and mute, couldn’t even pretend not to have heard anything!

She could convince herself that Gu Yubai was talking nonsense. But how could she explain Qi Cheng’s reaction at this moment?

She didn’t need to guess; she knew the maid must have told Qi Cheng everything before she came back.

Otherwise, Qi Cheng wouldn’t be acting like this for no reason.

Qi Cheng looked at her.

He saw her eyes redden, tears welling up but she forced them back down. After several times of doing this, Ji Yunhuan finally spoke anxiously, "Why are you apologizing to me? Why are you looking at me like that? I had decided to pretend it was someone else’s nonsense. Why did you have to admit it? Qi Cheng, why did you have to admit it?"

By the end, her voice was almost inaudible, hoarse and weak.

"Yunhuan." Qi Cheng had never seen her like this—her tears almost fell several times, but she forced them back.

She was desperately controlling herself, not wanting to believe the truth, and hoping to control her hatred for him.

He thought, with her personality, she wouldn’t forgive him when she heard this.

But she actually said...

She had originally decided to pretend it was all false.

He was the one who admitted it.

He was too insecure!

Every day he was with her, every time she smiled and mentioned her parents, he was uneasy, afraid she would find out everything.

So he never even thought of covering it up.

Yet he caused her to face this naked, cruel truth.

Realizing his mistake, Qi Cheng reached out to hold her, but Ji Yunhuan instinctively took a step back. If he hadn’t admitted it, she might have been able to pretend it was false. But now, she didn’t know what reason she had left to forgive him.

She took a few steps back, almost unable to stand steady, and turned to go. Qi Cheng hugged her from behind, "Yunhuan, it’s my fault. I’m sorry, Yunhuan..."

He didn’t know what to say.

Beg for her forgiveness?

Ask for her understanding?

No matter what he said, he couldn’t say it.

Ji Yunhuan was tightly held in his arms, feeling like he was about to crush her into his body.

Of course, she also felt it: Qi Cheng was so afraid of losing her.

Qi Cheng held her tightly, feeling how cold she was. His heart seemed to fall into a deep hell. Seeing her reaction, he felt even more heartbroken than before she came back.

He wasn’t just afraid; he was also worried.

What was his sadness compared to this?

He was the culprit, he deserved it. But what about her?

He selfishly made her fall in love with him, selfishly made her trust him, and finally hurt her deeply.

He, truly deserved to die.

Ji Yunhuan bit her lip, unable to break free from Qi Cheng’s grip. Qi Cheng hugged her, breathing anxiously by her ear.

He didn’t dare to let go, fearing she would disappear if he looked away.

Ji Yunhuan gave up struggling, bit her lip, and asked, "Did you really cause the Ji Family’s bankruptcy?"

"..." He remained silent.

But it was more like an admission.

She also knew how ridiculous it was to ask this question.

"You destroyed the Ji Family just like you did to the Gu Family, didn’t you?"

"..." Qi Cheng still didn’t speak, unable to say a word in defense or explanation.

Ji Yunhuan felt colder and more miserable, "I always thought the Gu Family deserved it, so does that mean the Ji Family deserved it too?"

"No, it’s all my fault. It’s my fault." Qi Cheng finally spoke. He held her tightly, "It’s all my fault. From now on, I will compensate you."

"Let go." Being held by him like this, Ji Yunhuan felt an indescribable discomfort, feeling as if her entire body was crawling with ants. Dirty, she felt so dirty!

This man caused her family to be broken and people to die, yet she not only fell in love with him, slept with him, but also had his child.

Qi Cheng didn’t move.

He was afraid that if he let go, he would never be able to hold her again.

"Let go!" Ji Yunhuan repeated, raising her voice by two decibels.

Forced by the coldness in her words, Qi Cheng finally let go.

The female housekeeper came out from inside, "Ma’am, you’re finally back. The young master cried and waited for you for a long time."

Ji Yunhuan didn’t move, just stared at Qi Cheng.

Qi Cheng said, "You hate me, fine, but look at the child."

The female housekeeper looked at the two, sighing inwardly. As the head of all the maids, she of course knew how serious this matter was.

She only hoped that Ji Yunhuan could give Qi Cheng a chance for the sake of the child.
