Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin
Chapter 255: Be His Lover (3)_1

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Be His Lover (3)_1

Looking at his appearance, it seemed he really only saw her as a lover! He had no intention of taking her home.

But, perhaps that wasn’t a bad thing.

If he had other thoughts about her, she wouldn’t be willing to stay by his side.

She didn’t want to repeat the tragedy of two years ago, getting emotionally entangled with a man she shouldn’t love.

She and he, it was impossible for them to be in love. They couldn’t!

Ji Yunhuan got up and went to wash up. When she came out, a neat set of clothes had already been placed at the door.

Although it was just a work outfit, her eyes quickly told her that the outfit was worth over a hundred thousand.

This extravagant man!

Even though when she was Mrs. Qi or the eldest daughter of the Ji Family, a hundred thousand meant nothing to her. But now, making ends meet and busy earning money every day, it wasn’t a small amount.

She walked over, looked at the high heels on the floor, and tried putting her foot in them; they were a bit small. She glanced at him, "The shoes are a bit small."

Qi Cheng glanced at her foot in surprise. She had already managed to put on the shoes, "Impossible."

Because last time her foot was injured, he had someone bring her a pair of flat cloth shoes in the morning, custom-made, very soft. Being a bit small didn’t matter much. But high heels were different; they wouldn’t fit well and would be uncomfortable to wear.

Seeing his disappointed expression, Ji Yunhuan said, "It’s okay, I’ll go back and change into another pair. I need to go home to get some documents anyway."

Qi Cheng’s eyes were fixed on her feet, seemingly confused, "I remember your size clearly."

She hadn’t gained weight. There was no reason the same shoes would become smaller.

Ji Yunhuan smiled and said, "Having a baby is like a second puberty for women. My feet grew a bit afterward, you just didn’t notice."

During her confinement period, he couldn’t possibly let her wear high heels, so he didn’t discover this issue.

Seeing him look so dejected, Ji Yunhuan exercised her moral qualities and comforted him, "You don’t need to be too upset. It’s nothing. The world changes every day, including you and me. You know, we both are different from before."

Even feelings once thought to be the most steadfast had changed. What wouldn’t?

Qi Cheng felt somewhat uncomfortable hearing her talk so indifferently about their relationship.

He knew she was hinting that, even though they slept together last night, their relationship was only that of lovers. They couldn’t go back to the past.

Ji Yunhuan changed into the outfit and put on the slightly small shoes. She said, "I’ll repay you for the shoes and clothes."

Her words made him raise an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

Ji Yunhuan adjusted her collar, eyes on him, "Staying by your side, I only have one goal, which is to see my child. I just want to see the child, so don’t use these small favors to buy me. I don’t need them."

He looked at her, his gaze turning cold.

Ji Yunhuan thought: He might get angry!

After all, giving her clothes and shoes was a kind gesture from him.

Last night, she must have served him well, so as her benefactor, he was happy and rewarded her.

But she didn’t care.

She could be considered pretentious.

Even if she was to be a lover, she wanted to be one with dignity.

Seeing her clearly drawing the lines between them, Qi Cheng, after struggling for a long time, revealed an indifferent smile, "Suit yourself."

She didn’t accept his kindness, and he didn’t need to force it.

-

The space inside the car was very quiet. Ji Yunhuan looked out at the street. Since it was morning rush hour, there were many vehicles on the road. And just their bad luck, they hit a traffic jam.

Stop and go, very annoying.

Honestly, there was no scenery to look at.

But, sitting in the car, Ji Yunhuan never took her eyes off the outside. Qi Cheng had sent a driver to take her home; she had no choice. But it turned out he had to ride in the same car.

She initially refused, but he said he had something to do and was just giving her a ride in passing. She shouldn’t overthink it... That was why they had this current, silent scenario.

The Ji Family’s home wasn’t too far from Jingyang Tower. They would have arrived already if it weren’t for the traffic jam.

When the car drove into the familiar neighborhood, Ji Yunhuan, nearly suffocated by the car’s atmosphere, finally turned her head and said to Qi Cheng, "Thank you, Mr. Qi, for sending me back."

He looked at her, as if he had been waiting for her to speak up.

Now that he finally had the chance, he said, "Move to Jingyang Tower. I don’t want to get stuck in traffic next morning."

Faced with his suggestion, Ji Yunhuan found it somewhat funny, "No need. Have you ever seen a lover move into the benefactor’s house? I’m not that thick-skinned. Next time, no need to send me. I can take a cab."

After speaking, she got out of the car. Watching her leave without even looking back, Qi Cheng couldn’t help but suspect that the passionate woman from last night wasn’t her.

This was like... putting on pants and not recognizing the person anymore!

Ji Yunhuan had just gotten out of the car when she saw Ji Min standing at the door, eyes constantly looking into the car, "Who sent you back?"

Ji Min’s money-worshiping gaze made Ji Yunhuan uncomfortable. She opened the courtyard door and walked in, saying, "A client."

She didn’t want Ji Min to know she was with Qi Cheng.

Seeing Ji Min, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but recall when she first came out of the Qi Family two years ago.

She had just given birth, still very weak. Even after the confinement period, having soaked in water during the winter, being tormented by Qi Cheng’s grandfather with injections for so long, she looked terrible.

She didn’t know how she managed to get through it.

At first, the Ji Family members knew she was back and took care of her.

Of course, they had their own motives, thinking Ji Yunhuan had moved back because she had quarreled with Qi Cheng. They only wanted to persuade her to reconcile with him...

Until the news of her divorce from Qi Cheng came out.

The Ji Family immediately changed their attitude.

They were no longer as enthusiastic as before. The look in their eyes as they watched her became as cold as Antarctic penguins.

Luckily, she had foreseen it all. With warmth and Li Longtao taking good care of her, her life wasn’t too hard.

But now, seeing Ji Min, she felt disgusted.

"What are you doing here today?"

Ji Min couldn’t continue observing the person inside the car. Ji Yunhuan’s attitude was indifferent, as if the person in the car had nothing to do with her.

Ji Min had seen Ji Yunhuan drinking tea with some clients. Sometimes, people even offered to give her a ride. Of course, they were just clients with no other relationship.

What kind of trouble could clients cause?

So, Ji Min thought today’s ride was just another client sending Ji Yunhuan back. Seeing Ji Yunhuan looking so good, maybe she even spent the night at the client’s place!

She couldn’t help but think Ji Yunhuan was being cheap, but still walked over with a smile.

Her sycophantic smile made Ji Yunhuan’s guard go up, "You have something you need my help with, don’t you?"
