Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Baby is Hungry (2)_1

Ji Yunhuan followed the female housekeeper into the house. The baby was in the living room, placed in the cradle, being coaxed by a servant. He was crying terribly, to no avail.

Ji Yunhuan listened to the baby’s cries, and her heart tightened.

She picked the child up from the cradle, soothing him gently. Facing her own child, in such a scene, her heart ached unbearably.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have had this child with Qi Cheng.

Since she didn’t know from the start, why did she have to find out now?

Everything was fate, beyond her control.

Qi Cheng followed her in, watching her hold the child and stand there. He felt a slight relief. Luckily, they had this child.

If it had been earlier, he might have had no hope with her at all.

But now, he knew the child would be his hope.

Ji Yunhuan sat down on the sofa, and Qi Cheng followed.

He approached and sat on the sofa opposite her, carefully observing Ji Yunhuan’s reaction.

The more happiness he felt, the more the upcoming day clung to him like a nightmare.

He had thought more than once about how Ji Yunhuan would look when she found out the truth.

Now, he couldn’t predict her reaction.

Maybe she would hate him. But for the child’s sake, she probably wouldn’t leave him.

So, he would have a lot of time to make it up to her.

Thinking of this, Qi Cheng felt somewhat relieved.

He watched Ji Yunhuan seriously soothing the child and sat quietly beside her, not disturbing her.

Because Grandpa was over here, Second Brother and Sister-in-law had come earlier in the morning.

At this moment, Sister-in-law had just returned from the farm. Seeing Ji Yunhuan, she smiled and walked over, "Yunhuan, you’re back?"

Ji Yunhuan’s eyes were fixed on the child. She didn’t look up or respond.

Sister-in-law felt baffled. She shouldn’t have offended Yunhuan!

Sister-in-law came closer, sensing something was off. Looking at the two of them, she speculated, "Did you two argue again?"

No one answered her. She looked at the female housekeeper and guessed from her expression that she had hit the mark.

Sister-in-law sat down, watching the two of them ignore her. She said, "Qi Cheng, why did you argue with Yunhuan? She just finished her confinement. Can’t you be a little considerate? You’re such a grown-up."

Normally, Qi Cheng would have responded. But at this moment, his eyes were fixed only on Ji Yunhuan.

Sister-in-law noticed the deep affection and guilt in his eyes and suddenly thought, this didn’t look like an argument.

If it were an argument, he wouldn’t look like this.

Sister-in-law was about to find something to break this awkward atmosphere when she heard Ji Yunhuan say, "Sister-in-law, you came at the right time. Please help inform the family that Qi Cheng and I are preparing to divorce."

"..." Qi Cheng’s heart skipped a beat.

Sister-in-law’s words froze on her lips.

She stared at Ji Yunhuan’s serious expression, "You must be joking, right? You are both adults. Haven’t you argued before? Just talk it out. Why mention something as hurtful as divorce? Grandpa is still here. If he hears this, he’ll probably get angry."

The main point was that yesterday, the two of them were still so loving and affectionate.

Everything changed today.

Sister-in-law could hardly believe what she was seeing.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Qi Cheng and I will never be together again. There is no possibility in this life. If Grandpa finds out, that’s just perfect. No need to inform him then."

"Yunhuan." Sister-in-law said seriously, "You’re being too capricious. You’re really making me angry. I’m speaking kindly to you, stop being stubborn. The child is still so young, divorce, are you joking with me?"

"I’m not joking. I won’t take the child. I know, with my ability, there’s no way I can win custody from the Qi Family. So, I won’t want him. In the future, he can consider me dead."

If she wanted to take the child, she might never escape the Qi Family in her lifetime.

She had thought it through.

Although she couldn’t bear to part with the child, how could she convince herself to continue being Qi Cheng’s wife?

Up to now, she couldn’t forget the scene when her parents left.

Yet, Qi Cheng had deceived her for so long and so deeply.

Sister-in-law stared at Ji Yunhuan, thinking she was mad, "The baby is only a month old, one month! You’re going to leave him behind?"

"There are many people in the Qi Family. Someone will take good care of him."

"But he has only one mother, and that’s you."

"So, are you going to let me take him away? If I could, I would take him."

"Ji Yunhuan!" Sister-in-law looked at her angrily, "You are out of your mind. Even stubbornness should have a limit. Look at yourself now. I’ve always thought you and Sister-in-law are alike. Now it seems you really are. Both of you are ruthless, abandon the family and don’t care about the children! Being a woman like you two is a real failure!"

In her view, when two people argue, the child suffers the most.

Even Qi Mo, at such a big age, couldn’t escape the psychological shadow, let alone Yangyang, who was so small.

She had never seen parents who wanted a divorce just when their child turned a month old.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Sister-in-law is right. But I have already made up my mind."

"Qi Cheng," Sister-in-law looked at Qi Cheng, who had been silent. "You should say something. Do you want a divorce too?"

"I don’t." Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan. The words were meant for her!

He hadn’t expected she could leave even the child behind.

Ji Yunhuan looked at him coldly, "Do you think there’s any possibility of us being together?"

She still couldn’t believe he was her enemy.

If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t be in this situation today!

If it weren’t for him, she would be living well now!

If it weren’t for him... she wouldn’t be in such heart-wrenching pain.

If she hadn’t fallen for him, she wouldn’t feel this pain.

But when the person you love most becomes your enemy.

That feeling really made her heart ache beyond measure.

Ji Yunhuan looked at the baby, trying to control herself, "He’s asleep. I’ll take him up."

She didn’t look at Qi Cheng or Sister-in-law, holding the baby and walking to the elevator, the servant pushing the cradle behind her.

In the room, Ji Yunhuan put the baby into the cradle, gazing at him, holding back the tears about to fall.

She knew, once she divorced Qi Cheng, she would no longer have any relation with this child.

But she couldn’t pretend that everything had never happened just because of this child.

In just this short month, her son had already become dear to her. But she had to choose to leave.

She knew, she and Qi Cheng, in this life, would no longer have any entanglement.

Thinking of how she had loved him, thinking of how she had given birth to his child, thinking of how he had caused the Ji Family to go bankrupt, caused her to lose her family, she couldn’t suppress the fury in her heart.
