Chapter 281: Chapter 281 You Can Only Marry Me (4)_1

"He turned out to be that kind of person?" Even Wen Nuan found it unbelievable. "He usually seems pretty upright!"

"His situation reminds me of a story I heard before," Ji Yunhuan said with a smile.

Actually, there was nothing to be sad about. She didn’t have deep feelings for Li Longtao. Being betrayed was just a matter of destiny.

It was fate not to let her get married at this time.

More than sadness, she felt anger in her heart.

Qi Cheng treated her like that, and it made her very angry.

"What story?" Wen Nuan admired her for being able to tell a story at a time like this.

"It’s about an auction where every man had his girlfriend with him. The host asked, ’For a thousand dollars, who would be willing to sell their girlfriend?’ No one answered. Then the host raised the offer to a hundred thousand, and this time, a few men wavered. Some other men started to look down on those wavering. However, when the offer reached one billion, all the men wavered. But in reality, how were they different from those who wavered at one hundred thousand? Li Longtao was the kind of man who held out till the end. We were just all deceived by him."

The deep disappointment in her eyes made Wen Nuan unsure how to console her.

Ji Yunhuan said indifferently, "Let’s go! I don’t want to stay here and be laughed at. Today is already embarrassing enough."

"Yes, let them handle the aftermath!" Wen Nuan left Zhou Muqing behind, and she accompanied Ji Yunhuan out of the hotel.

Outside the window stood tall buildings. Qi Cheng stood in the corridor, looking at Bai Liyan with an icy cold gaze. "What do you mean?"

"Nothing at all." Bai Liyan didn’t even move his eyebrows. Probably only he could still be so composed facing an angry Qi Cheng.

"You like Ji Yunhuan?" Qi Cheng’s tone was sharp, having long lost his usual elegance.

Bai Liyan had always shown no interest in women. Now he was...

Trying to snatch a woman from him?

Thinking of this, Qi Cheng became alert.

Bai Liyan took a deep breath. He knew he had to explain clearly. "I just couldn’t stand to watch anymore. Didn’t you see you’ve pushed her to a very awkward position? Ever since she divorced you, I’ve been keeping an eye on her. The Ji Yunhuan who is not around you lives very well. She has never been this humiliated! Since meeting you, she has been in constant pain and struggle every day. Don’t tell me you can’t see it."

Because of the intertwining of love and hate, those two complex emotions, she was trying hard to escape Qi Cheng.

Qi Cheng, clearly aware of this, only cared about his own feelings.

"This is between us! Not for you to interfere." Hearing that Bai Liyan had been watching Ji Yunhuan over the past two years, Qi Cheng felt a sense of being deceived.

Very uncomfortable!

That was his woman, but his brother was watching her!

Seeing him so unreasonable, Bai Liyan was not polite either. "If it were in the past, I wouldn’t meddle. But now, her affairs are my business!"

"On what grounds?" There was hatred in Qi Cheng’s eyes.

Since Chenchen’s departure, he and Bai Liyan had never been so confrontational.

He loved Ji Yunhuan so much, Bai Liyan couldn’t be unaware of it.

Thus, Bai Liyan was deliberately ripping his heart apart.

Bai Liyan tightly pressed his lips. He also knew he would anger Qi Cheng. "No grounds, just because I’m happy. Aren’t you making things difficult for her because it makes you happy? So, Qi Cheng, I’m sorry..."

"Sorry?" Qi Cheng raised an eyebrow. There was a sense of near collapse!

Bai Liyan seemed determined to go against him.

If it wasn’t Bai Liyan, he wouldn’t be in so much pain.

But he was his best friend since childhood!

Bai Liyan didn’t miss the sorrow in his eyes. He didn’t want Qi Cheng to be in such pain.

"Qi Cheng, it’s impossible between you and her, don’t you know? From the day her parents’ matter was exposed, you and she were impossible! Since that’s the case, why can’t you let her go, and also let yourself go?" Bai Liyan said, "I don’t like her, nor do I have those kinds of feelings for her like you think, so you don’t have to worry. I chose to help her for Chenchen’s sake. It was my fault that caused her to lose her last relative. I just want to do more to compensate her. And you? You clearly know you wronged her, yet you still want to force her to stay with you! Even if it makes her in great pain by your side! Don’t you care?"

Chenchen’s matter was a thorn in Ji Yunhuan’s heart, and also in Bai Liyan’s heart. For so many years, Bai Liyan never got over it.

Initially, he always thought of avoiding it but later found no way to avoid it.

Hence, he thought of doing more to atone for Ji Yunhuan.

For Chenchen, he wanted to protect his sister in this world.

Bai Liyan’s words stunned Qi Cheng for a moment. He laughed helplessly. "I haven’t thought about letting her go, but without me, she isn’t happy."

"Everyone has different definitions of happiness. Without you, she may live tougher, but at least enriched. With you, no matter how wealthy you are, so what? You caused her father’s death. That is a blood feud. Placing yourself in her shoes, could you forgive?"

Qi Cheng clenched his fists. "What happened in the past was my fault, but I would do my best to make up for it. Besides, I didn’t intentionally cause her parents’ deaths. Her parents chose that road, not something I could decide. There’s no hurdle in this world that cannot be crossed. One day, she will forgive me because we have a child!"

Bai Liyan knew he thought about these things, so he hadn’t appeared before Ji Yunhuan in the past two years.

Now, he found many reasons for himself.

When he couldn’t forget a woman after two years, he didn’t believe he could forget her.

So, he could only hold on to her tightly.

Seeing him so obstinate, Bai Liyan couldn’t help but sigh. "If that’s the case, why did she go to any lengths to marry someone else? Why, after you ruined her wedding, did she act that way? Now, can’t you still see?"

"I can’t see!" Qi Cheng was too lazy to think about these complicated questions. It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about them. But should he let her marry those random men?

He admitted he didn’t expect Ji Yunhuan would act so out of control today.

To anger Qi Cheng, she really threw away all her pride.

Thinking of this, Qi Cheng felt heartbroken beyond words.

He stared at Bai Liyan, unwilling to accept it. "If it weren’t for your interference today..."
