Chapter 270: Chapter 270 Disdain for Her Being a Second Marriage_1

But if he showed a little more care, he might end up repeating the same outcome as two years ago.

What he feared most was pushing her away from him.

As she was now, she could never fully accept him.

It was even possible that she would never accept him in the future.

After all, he had made such a terrible mistake in the past.

Ji Yunhuan saw he was silent and went to wash her face.

She stood in front of the mirror brushing her teeth, thinking of the sorrowful look in his eyes just now, and her heart inexplicably tightened.

Why in that moment did she find him so pitiful?

She shook her head, brushed away the discomfort in her heart, and continued brushing her teeth.

After washing up, she left the house. Qi Cheng stayed home.

She went to the hospital first, intending to talk to Li Longtao about picking up her mother. Who would have thought her mother had already arrived?

In the ward, Li’s mother was peeling apples for her son. She was heartbroken over Li Longtao’s injury, constantly fussing over him.

The Li Family’s conditions were not very good. Li Longtao had come from a small town. Li’s mother dressed very simply, even though she had made an effort to dress up before coming here. However, her clothing still didn’t match her son’s current status.

Ji Yunhuan walked in, and Li Longtao raised his head to look at her. "You’re here."

"Mm, sorry for being late. I was thinking of picking up Auntie, but I didn’t expect her to come on her own." Ji Yunhuan looked at Li’s mother and politely nodded. "Hello, Auntie."

Li’s mother kept looking at Ji Yunhuan. "Are you Li Longtao’s colleague?"

"Yes." They were colleagues, after all; this was not wrong.

Li Longtao spoke up, "Mom, her name is Yunhuan. She is also my fiancée. We are getting married."

"Married?" Li’s mother looked at her son in surprise. Her son was not young anymore. Finding a wife was the right thing to do. She just hadn’t expected it to be so sudden. Li Longtao hadn’t mentioned it at all on the phone.

Li’s mother stayed in the ward for a while. Li Longtao asked Ji Yunhuan to take his mother home first. She had come from so far away and was surely tired.

After leaving the hospital, Ji Yunhuan took Li’s mother to a restaurant for a meal.

After they entered the restaurant and sat down, Li’s mother looked at Ji Yunhuan and asked, "How long have you known my son?"

"A long time, two or three years now!" Ji Yunhuan replied.

"He never mentioned you to me."

"We only recently decided to get married."

"How old are you?" Faced with someone about to marry her son, Li’s mother seemed to have endless questions.

Ji Yunhuan answered each one.

When she heard that Ji Yunhuan had been married before, Li’s mother seemed unhappy.

She didn’t show it too blatantly. She just said, "Our Longtao is still in his first marriage!"

Ji Yunhuan was stunned.

When she looked at Li’s mother again, she didn’t know what to say.

Overall, it was a very awkward feeling.

She took Li’s mother to Li Longtao’s home. There were servants at Li Longtao’s home to take care of her, and Ji Yunhuan went back to the hospital to see Li Longtao.

"How was my mom? Did she give you any trouble?" As soon as they met, Li Longtao asked with some concern.

Ji Yunhuan smiled, "No, she was very kind to me. Your mom is nice, no wonder you turned out to be such a wonderful person."

Li Longtao smiled bashfully, "What’s great about me? If I hadn’t met you, I’d be nothing."

"Didn’t you say that luck is also a kind of strength?" Ji Yunhuan smiled at Li Longtao.

Li Longtao smiled after hearing her words. "You really know how to comfort me."

Ji Yunhuan sat down beside him and said, "The New Year is coming. You can’t stay in the hospital all the time. I have talked to the hospital, and they agreed to discharge you tomorrow. Can I come to pick you up?"

Li Longtao nodded, "Mm, thank you. Because of me, not only did you have to handle the company’s matters, but even our family affairs fell on you."

"It’s nothing." Ji Yunhuan looked at him. She was most worried that her marriage to Li Longtao would bring trouble to Qi Cheng.

She was effectively putting Li Longtao in danger, so she decided to do more for him.

Of course, she would also try her best to protect him and keep him safe.

After leaving the hospital, Ji Yunhuan walked home. Halfway, she felt foolish and took a cab. Near her neighborhood, she thought of Qi Cheng. For some reason, she had a feeling that he would be there. So she didn’t go in. Instead, she asked the driver to turn around and went to Wen Nuan’s place.

The restaurant was bustling in the afternoon, and Wen Nuan was sitting at the counter reviewing recent accounts. When she saw Ji Yunhuan come in, she quickly greeted her.

Ji Yunhuan walked over and sat down.

On her way here, she had been reflecting. She didn’t know why she wanted to avoid Qi Cheng.

She was still afraid that after seeing him, she wouldn’t be able to control her heart.

She was already Li Longtao’s fiancée. Although she had agreed to be with Qi Cheng until the wedding, she should still keep her distance from him.

Therefore, unless he specifically sought her out, she would try to avoid him.

"Have you eaten? What do you want to eat? I’ll have the chef make it for you. Our new chef just came back from France. He said he had been working there for years!" Wen Nuan bragged.

Ji Yunhuan picked up the menu and looked through it carefully, ordering a couple of dishes.

Wen Nuan instructed the waiter to notify the kitchen.

She looked at Ji Yunhuan. "Did you work today?"

"Got off early!"

"So why are you just coming now?" Wen Nuan’s restaurant had shares belonging to Ji Yunhuan. So whenever she had time, Ji Yunhuan would help out.

The money she invested was a million that she had extorted from the Gu Family Residence before. So it had nothing to do with Qi Cheng. Even if she left the Qi Family, she would still retain her shares.

Ji Yunhuan explained, "Li Longtao’s mother came, so I spent some time with her."

"Why would you spend time with his mother?" Wen Nuan looked at her curiously. "So many people at your company, anyone could have gone."

Ji Yunhuan paused, realizing she hadn’t told Wen Nuan about her plan to marry Li Longtao.

She probably didn’t feel any sense of impending marriage.

Ji Yunhuan laughed. "I’m planning to marry him, so..."

"Getting... married?" Wen Nuan looked at Ji Yunhuan in disbelief. "Are you joking with me?"

"No joke! I’m serious." Ji Yunhuan was earnest. "Weren’t you always hoping I’d find someone to settle down with? I think this is good. Instead of going on blind dates, it’s better to choose someone close by. He’s a good person, as you know."

"True! He is quite good." Wen Nuan said regretfully, "How did I forget about him before now? If I had known, I would have matched you two much earlier."

"Blessings now aren’t too late."
