Chapter 266: Chapter 266 Want to See the Child (4)_1

Qi Cheng picked up the clothes jacket from the chair, draped it over his hand, and left. Ji Yunhuan sat on the bed, feeling a bit stunned. After a while, Assistant Gao came in. He stood at the door and said to Ji Yunhuan, "Ms. Ji, I’m here to take you back."

Ji Yunhuan got up, changed her clothes, and went out without even washing her face.

Assistant Gao closed the door and followed her.

She asked, "Where’s Qi Cheng?"

Assistant Gao regretfully replied, "He’s gone out."

Ji Yunhuan put her hand in her pocket, remembering Qi Cheng’s expression when he left. She hadn’t expected him to change so suddenly. "Where did he go?"

"I... don’t know."

"You’re not unsure; you just don’t want to tell me." Ji Yunhuan could easily see through it.

She remembered how Qi Cheng had forced her to come here. She hadn’t been able to shake him off, and now he had voluntarily left her. She didn’t know whether this was a good or bad thing.

Maybe he just wanted to regain some face in this way.

Otherwise, she couldn’t understand why just wanting to see her child would provoke such a big reaction from him.

"Ms. Ji, please." When they got downstairs, Assistant Gao opened the car door and said to Ji Yunhuan, "I’ll go back by myself. You don’t need to take me."

"But..."

"Tell Qi Cheng that I have nothing to do with him from now on." If she couldn’t see her child, there was no reason to stay by his side any longer.

She didn’t want to dwell on questions she couldn’t figure out.

Assistant Gao listened, looked at Ji Yunhuan, and didn’t know what to say.

Ji Yunhuan walked to the other side to hail a cab.

Since it was the weekend, she didn’t have to work. Some young people from the company called to invite her to play ball at the sports center.

When she was alone, she often hung out with them. Especially today, when she was already in a bad mood. If she went home and locked herself up, it would really suffocate her.

She hurried over with anticipation, but when she got there, she was fuming. They all had brought their partners, leaving her by herself.

"Sister Ji, we’re going to visit Director Li at the hospital later. What about you?" After playing, Lin Zheng asked.

"I’ll go! Let’s go together!" She hadn’t seen Li Longtao in a while. Lately, Qi Cheng had messed things up so much she didn’t even know what she was doing.

Other than work, she hadn’t gone to the hospital at all.

She bought a symbolic bouquet and, when she got to the hospital, saw that Li Longtao had already improved a lot.

Li Longtao had known they were coming but was still surprised to see Ji Yunhuan. "You came too."

Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but smile, "You’re not surprised to see everyone else. Why do you seem so surprised to see me?"

"I heard you’ve been really busy lately, so I didn’t expect you to come. Sit down!" He greeted everyone.

Since Li Longtao’s family wasn’t around, only the caregiver usually looked after him in the hospital. But he had gotten much better in recent days.

Ji Yunhuan, who hadn’t come much, stayed with him a bit longer and talked about some company matters.

In fact, Li Longtao had already heard from others.

He knew that Ji Yunhuan had been managing the company well.

He looked at Ji Yunhuan gratefully. "Meeting you has been the luckiest thing in my life. You’re always helping me."

Ji Yunhuan was a bit speechless by his sentimental words. "You’re exaggerating; it’s just good luck!"

She didn’t know how to say that Qi Cheng was behind it all.

If it wasn’t for Qi Cheng, they would’ve had a hard time just dealing with Tang Yin.

"Luck is also a form of strength." Li Longtao looked at Ji Yunhuan with some admiration in his eyes. He looked at her, "Actually, I..."

"What?"

"There’s something I want to tell you." Li Longtao’s hesitant expression was completely different from his usual behavior at the company.

"Please go ahead."

In Ji Yunhuan’s eyes, this man was a workaholic. So she didn’t think he would talk about anything other than work.

Li Longtao gazed at her. After a brief hesitation, he said, "I know you got divorced and haven’t found anyone suitable ever since. How about we be together?"

"Huh?" Ji Yunhuan was stunned. This... topic really surprised her. "Director Li, you... you’re successful in your career and a good person. There should be many girls who like you!"

"Do you like me too?"

"I’m just a divorced woman." If she liked him, it wouldn’t be fair to him and would almost seem like ruining him.

Li Longtao said, "I’m serious. Even if you’ve been divorced, I still want to be with you."

Since he never showed it at work, Ji Yunhuan was really surprised.

"Why so sudden..."

"It’s not sudden. Just before, I felt you were distant. But after this car accident, I’ve thought a lot. If I can’t do what I want while alive, there’s no use regretting it after I’m dead." He sat on the bed in his hospital gown, looking at her seriously, his eyes full of tenderness.

In Ji Yunhuan’s impression, he was always a man with only work in his eyes. His behavior was rather surprising.

Had she just been confessed to?

She looked at Li Longtao. She had always considered him a friend, with no special feelings, but didn’t dislike him either.

She should have refused him.

But...

She inexplicably remembered his resilience against Tang Yin’s threats.

Was fate arranging for him to confess to her now, hinting at something?

She looked at Li Longtao, "If we are together, there will be many challenges. Will you face them?"

She didn’t want him to give up if Qi Cheng intervened.

That would make her feel very tired.

However, if he was willing to face it, she would stand by him.

"Of course I’m willing." Li Longtao looked at her, "We’ve known each other for so long. You should understand me."

He was never the type to be defeated by power.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up in the hospital for offending Tang Yin.

"All right then! I agree to be together." Ji Yunhuan felt she had no other options. She was eager to cut ties with Qi Cheng. She said, "When you get out of the hospital, let’s discuss marriage?"

Although it was Li Longtao’s suggestion, he didn’t expect Ji Yunhuan to agree so quickly and eagerly.

He looked at her, puzzled, "Are you in a hurry?"

"Do you think it’s inconvenient?"

"No, I just didn’t expect it." He looked at Ji Yunhuan, feeling like he was floating on a cloud, afraid she would regret it, "If it’s okay, we can start preparing for the wedding now."

"No need to rush. We’ll wait for you to get better. Let’s talk after the New Year. It’s almost Spring Festival."

"That works too." Li Longtao didn’t expect it to go so smoothly. He had been hesitant for a long time before speaking up.
