Chapter 277: Chapter 277 She and Someone Else’s Wedding (3)_1

"Where’s Li Longtao?" Wen Nuan turned around and didn’t see anyone. She asked the people in the company.

A few people looked at each other and all said, "We don’t know. I saw him earlier, it seemed like he had something to do outside, and now I don’t see him."

"There’s still some time, no rush." Ji Yunhuan spoke, "You guys sit down first. I’ll go check."

Ji Yunhuan sat in the resting room. She had just looked around but couldn’t find Li Longtao. She was too lazy to keep looking and came here to wait. Looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn’t help but think of the scene when Qi Cheng left yesterday.

She took a deep breath.

By the look of Qi Cheng, he had really given up. There wouldn’t be any more chances for her and Qi Cheng.

This was what she wanted the most recently—to leave Qi Cheng, sever ties with him, and stop getting entangled.

But now, there wasn’t any bit of happiness in her heart.

After a while, the phone rang. Ji Yunhuan looked and saw it was Li Longtao calling.

She adjusted her emotions and answered the call with a smile, "Where are you?"

Li Longtao’s voice came through, "Yunhuan, I can’t marry you."

At that moment, Ji Yunhuan was calmer than she had imagined.

Instead, she felt as if a big play had finally begun.

All along, she felt that Qi Cheng would do something. Now, he finally came. It was just a bit later than she had imagined.

She calmed herself and asked Li Longtao calmly, "Where are you now?"

When she saw Li Longtao yesterday, he was fine. For him to make such a decision now, Qi Cheng must have threatened him.

Ji Yunhuan had said that no matter what problem they encountered, they would face it together with Li Longtao.

Therefore, what she had to do wasn’t to get angry but to help him.

She didn’t believe that Qi Cheng would really disregard her life and insist on interfering in her life.

Li Longtao said, "I’m outside the hotel, but I’m about to leave."

From his voice on the phone, she couldn’t tell anything different from usual.

But Ji Yunhuan thought, he must be pretending!

"Where are you going?" she asked worriedly.

Li Longtao said, "Leaving City A, going to a place I’ve always wanted to go."

"You met Qi Cheng, didn’t you?" Ji Yunhuan took a deep breath and asked.

She was now sure that Li Longtao was being threatened.

Li Longtao asked, "Do you know Mr. Qi?"

From his answer, it was clear that Li Longtao had seen him.

Ji Yunhuan said directly, "He’s my ex-husband."

"I see." Li Longtao seemed very surprised, "Yunhuan, I knew the man you married before was extraordinary, but I really didn’t expect you to have been Mrs. Qi."

Two years ago, Li Longtao knew nothing. He only knew how to manage his small company every day. He was just an ordinary entrepreneur with no time to contact high society, so he naturally couldn’t know these things.

Ji Yunhuan hadn’t told him either.

She didn’t want him to feel pressured.

Ji Yunhuan felt a little guilty, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have hidden it from you. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have caused this trouble for you. Where are you now? I’ll come to see you immediately. Trust me, as long as I’m here, he won’t do anything to you."

"Trouble?" Li Longtao’s voice sounded confused. He said, "I’m on the road opposite the hotel. You should be able to see me if you open the window."

Ji Yunhuan hurriedly walked to the window, pulled open the curtain, and saw Li Longtao indeed standing on the road opposite the hotel. A car was parked beside him. He was wearing the suit for the wedding today. He looked very spirited and showed no signs of being forced.

But Ji Yunhuan knew Qi Cheng’s character and his methods. He had ways to make sure she wouldn’t see it.

Li Longtao saw Ji Yunhuan and waved at her with a... smile.

He said, "I don’t know why you say Mr. Qi has troubled me. I’ve met him, and he’s very nice."

Ji Yunhuan wasn’t fooled by what she saw. She said to Li Longtao, "If he’s nice, he wouldn’t threaten you. Did he force you to say good things about him? Wait for me, I’ll come down right away!"

Ji Yunhuan grabbed her phone and quickly ran out the door.

Li Longtao couldn’t see her from the window, so he knew she was coming down to find him and quickly said over the phone, "Yunhuan, don’t come. I’m about to leave."

"I know he threatened you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t need to call off the wedding." Ji Yunhuan said with certainty.

Although she didn’t deeply love Li Longtao, she really hated Qi Cheng like this—did he intend to keep doing this over and over, messing things up repeatedly and stopping her from being with other men?

Did he want to interfere in her life this way forever?

Li Longtao couldn’t help but tell the truth, "Mr. Qi did ask me to leave you, but he didn’t threaten me. If I had known earlier that you were Mr. Qi’s wife, I wouldn’t have been naive enough to think I could match with you."

"..." Ji Yunhuan felt extremely helpless and sad. Could it be that Qi Cheng had told Li Longtao about her being with him all this time, and that’s why Li Longtao was angry?

Was Li Longtao blaming her for deceiving him?

She explained, "I already divorced him. I’m just his ex-wife. And... I won’t have any connections with him in the future. Please don’t do this! Li Longtao, we’ve known each other for many years. I know you’re not someone who gives up easily. Didn’t you say you liked me? Shouldn’t liking mean putting in more effort? Or is your love just this little? Although Qi Cheng has power and influence, you have to believe that there are no difficulties that we can’t overcome. If you give up, who else can I rely on?"

She chose to marry Li Longtao partly because of his resilient character—he wasn’t afraid of Tang Yin’s schemes against him and was determined to guard his company. He was such a persistent person.

If even he was easily threatened by Qi Cheng, was she really destined to never get married and be forced to entangle with Qi Cheng for life?

Ji Yunhuan had already entered the elevator, pressing for the first floor.

However, to her, the elevator was moving unbearably slow.

She was afraid Li Longtao wouldn’t wait for her. If that happened, most likely Qi Cheng would deal with him more harshly later.

Given Qi Cheng’s character, he wouldn’t easily let go of any man who got entangled with her. Even if Li Longtao seemed fine now, once Li Longtao left and she gave up, Qi Cheng would reveal his true purpose!

Worried that Li Longtao might do something foolish, Ji Yunhuan said over the phone, "If there’s anything, wait for me to come down. We’ll talk face-to-face."

Li Longtao said, "Yunhuan, I don’t want to see you."

With him saying that, Ji Yunhuan became more certain of her previous suspicions.

"Do you think I’ll believe your words?" Ji Yunhuan said with a stern face, "Yesterday when we parted, you were very gentle and kind to me. Now you’re saying you don’t want to see me. Even from your tone, I can’t hear any dislike towards me."
