Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Be His Lover (5)_1

Ji Yunhuan thought of Qi Cheng, thought of how she had accompanied him all night yesterday. Maybe that was his intention!

She sat in her seat and snapped the pen in her hand. She had to admit; power was really something detestable.

-

After working for two or three days, the clients and partners she had interacted with in the past two days seemed extraordinarily pleasant. Ji Yunhuan suspected it was that man manipulating things behind the scenes. She felt uncomfortable about it but had no way to confront him.

"Yunhuan, have you recently gotten a man?" That evening, as they were having dinner at Wen Nuan’s house, Wen Nuan looked at her in surprise.

Ji Yunhuan paused, then smiled, "Where is there one?"

"You seem different these past few days."

"What’s different?" Ji Yunhuan feigned ignorance.

She couldn’t help but think, What kind of keen eyesight does Wen Nuan have, to immediately notice she had a man?

Wen Nuan said, "You just seem different."

"Really no, you might be having an illusion!" Ji Yunhuan smiled, lifted the cup in front of her, and finished the juice.

Wen Nuan smiled at her, "Really no? Then if I introduce someone to you, don’t refuse."

"..." Feeling like she had fallen into a trap, Ji Yunhuan helplessly smiled. She didn’t want to offend her friend, so she didn’t find an excuse to refuse and smiled, "Okay!"

Seeing that she surprisingly didn’t refuse, Wen Nuan was a bit surprised. She thought about how Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng had been divorced for two years. It was indeed time for Ji Yunhuan to find a man. Wen Nuan then described the man’s conditions in detail to Ji Yunhuan, "I’ve met him before; he’s quite good in all aspects. You will like him. He also had a wife before, but she left him because he was too focused on work. You two can give it a try. A man dedicated to his career is not bad; I think you will like him."

"Okay."

"So, when will you be free?"

"The day after tomorrow afternoon, maybe?"

"Then I’ll inform you of the location the day after tomorrow afternoon." Wen Nuan said enthusiastically with a smile.

She always cared deeply for Ji Yunhuan and hoped she would live well.

At noon, Ji Yunhuan had just finished eating with her colleagues when she received Wen Nuan’s call. She arrived on time.

Wen Nuan was already waiting for her at the café.

Ji Yunhuan always felt that matchmaking was unreliable, but when she actually met him, just as Wen Nuan said, the man was not bad. At least, he was the clean and decent type that people didn’t find annoying.

However, he looked to be almost forty.

Seeing Ji Yunhuan, he didn’t rush to express his opinion, but it was clear he approved of her.

After talking for half a day, Ji Yunhuan still didn’t remember his name.

She felt a bit messy inside, not seriously considering this marriage at all.

It was only because Wen Nuan mentioned it that she had to come to deal with it.

She heard the man ask her, "Because of my work, I might not be home much after marriage. Can Ms. Ji accept that?"

"Of course." She couldn’t ask for more. However, to avoid being impolite, Ji Yunhuan gave a convincing reason, "In my view, a man should prioritize his career. Only this way can he support his woman and children. This is much better than fake sweet talk."

After speaking, she realized that the man was staring at her, and she realized she had said too much.

She had been negotiating deals on behalf of Li Longtao recently, always focusing on her eloquence, determined to impress the other party every time she spoke.

However...

Who could tell her what to do if this man became interested in her?

Especially after saying this, she always felt a pair of eyes staring at her from behind.

As if wanting to pierce a hole through her head.

Moreover, the atmosphere felt cold and eerie.

Instinctively, she turned around. As she did, she regretted it.

It was indeed a single misstep that caused lasting regret!

She should have just enjoyed her coffee. Why did she have to turn around?

Right there, she saw Qi Cheng standing, with Xie Xingwei standing primly beside him. Upon seeing Ji Yunhuan, Xie Xingwei’s face stiffened slightly. She probably didn’t expect to run into her old schoolmate and rival in love here.

She glanced at Qi Cheng and said, "Let’s go."

Qi Cheng turned around and withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at Ji Yunhuan. Together with Xie Xingwei, he walked out. It seemed they had come down from upstairs.

A thought crossed Ji Yunhuan’s mind: So Qi Cheng hadn’t looked for her these days because he was here having coffee with a beauty?

She didn’t know how the matchmaking ended.

On the way home, Wen Nuan drove, looking concernedly at Ji Yunhuan, who had been unusually silent since seeing Qi Cheng, "Yunhuan, do you still have feelings for Qi Cheng?"

"Feelings?" Ji Yunhuan said vaguely, "No! How could I have feelings for him?"

"Really no?" Wen Nuan’s eyes seemed to see through everything.

"Of course not." Ji Yunhuan answered calmly.

Because for her, even if she did have feelings for Qi Cheng, she would suppress them with all her might.

Speaking made her face feel warm. Ji Yunhuan asked Wen Nuan to drop her off at the intersection. She wanted to walk by herself. Wen Nuan didn’t stop her. The winter streets looked somewhat desolate. Wen Nuan watched Ji Yunhuan’s back, thinking of the Ji Yunhuan from two years ago when she left the Qi Family, feeling like she had walked out of hell. The thought made her heartache.

She had originally thought Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng would be happy together, but in the end, it was Qi Cheng who hurt Ji Yunhuan deeply, making her leave so disgracefully.

The sky was somewhat gray. Ji Yunhuan walked alone to her home, only to find Qi Cheng standing at the door. His driver was not there, and the sight of him quietly standing there startled her.

"You... why did you come?" She tried to maintain her composure.

The atmosphere felt awkward and somewhat... scary.

"Just came to check on you." He looked at her sinisterly, "It seems you’re really lonely without me, going so far as to go on a date?"

Ji Yunhuan ran her hand through her hair, looked at Qi Cheng, and calmly smiled, "You’re just my sponsor, bed partner. My dating shouldn’t concern you."

He stared at her fiercely until she couldn’t say another word.

Ji Yunhuan avoided his gaze, took out her keys from her bag, and opened the door.

She didn’t want the neighbors to see a man at her home and think she was an indecent woman.

Qi Cheng stood behind her, "Do you really want to draw a clear line with me?"

"From the start, everything between us has been clear." Ji Yunhuan turned the key and opened the door, looking at his face, feeling puzzled by his anger, "Did you forget what you said? Qi Cheng, there’s no need for you to be so angry. You have no right to be angry with me."
