Chapter 282: Chapter 282 You Can Only Marry Me (5)_1

"If it weren’t for me messing things up, she would have had to marry you, right?" Bai Liyan interrupted Qi Cheng. "I didn’t expect you to be so naive. If it weren’t for me rescuing her today, she might have been driven to despair by you. You haven’t forgotten about her jumping into the lake two years ago, have you? She used to be your wife. You should know her character better than I do."

"No matter what, it’s not your place to interfere!" Qi Cheng didn’t want Bai Liyan getting involved in his and Ji Yunhuan’s world.

Especially today, when Bai Liyan actually announced in front of so many people that he wanted to marry Ji Yunhuan.

That’s right, he had no way to deal with Bai Liyan. One, because the power of the Bai Family was not inferior to the Qi Family’s. Two, because Bai Liyan was his brother. They couldn’t turn against each other over a woman.

Bai Liyan knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it was useless. So he simply gave up. "Unless she willingly stays with you, I will get involved in your matters with her. I won’t let you force her to do things she doesn’t like, as you’ve been doing these past days."

Qi Cheng clenched his fists. "So, you have to interfere in my matters with her? You want to marry her?"

"If she agrees, it’s not impossible." Bai Liyan had just finished speaking when he felt the glass beside him shatter.

Qi Cheng’s hand had slammed heavily onto the glass window behind Bai Liyan, shattering the entire pane into a rain of glass shards on the ground.

Qi Cheng’s hand was injured as a result.

He glared at Bai Liyan and angrily warned, "If you dare to take her from me, our brotherhood ends here."

"What about you?" Bai Liyan retorted calmly, with one hand in his pocket. "Don’t forget, the person who first liked her was Su Molang. You’ve already taken a brother’s woman. Why can’t I do the same?"

Qi Cheng’s eyes tightened. No matter how much time passed, Su Molang was always his best friend. Being with Ji Yunhuan, he had always felt guilty. He didn’t expect Bai Liyan to use his flaw to attack him now.

"Su Molang is dead, but I am still alive!" Despite feeling guilty toward Su Molang, he could never let go.

He only knew that he wanted Ji Yunhuan. No one and no reason could stop him!

After saying that, Qi Cheng strode away.

Watching his disappearing figure, Bai Liyan’s expression gradually hardened.

When Qi Cheng returned to the hall, Ji Yunhuan had already left. He asked Assistant Gao, "Where is she?"

"Madam has returned with her friends."

"Is she alright?" Qi Cheng was worried about her more than anyone. If it weren’t for Bai Liyan suddenly showing up, he would have comforted her properly. "Have someone follow her and keep an eye on her movements."

He was eager to see Ji Yunhuan, but remembering her anger towards him, Qi Cheng decided not to add fuel to the fire for the time being.

"I’ve already sent someone to follow her. But sir... are you injured?" Assistant Gao noticed the trail of blood drops and frowned.

"It’s nothing." Qi Cheng glanced indifferently at the wound. It was just a flesh wound, not very deep. What concerned him the most was Bai Liyan.

He didn’t want another troublesome rival like Bai Liyan in his competition for Ji Yunhuan.

The problems between him and Ji Yunhuan were already enough.

Without Bai Liyan, he still couldn’t make her feel secure.

Much less...

Now Bai Liyan added himself to the mix.

Although he had been strong-willed in front of Bai Liyan, Bai Liyan’s words still made him feel a deep discomfort.

"Let’s treat your wound first!" Assistant Gao offered a word of comfort.

Qi Cheng looked inside. "Handle this place."

He had caused this mess, so he had to take responsibility for cleaning it up.

Assistant Gao nodded. "Got it."

In the evening, the setting sun shone through the window. Flowers in the yard bloomed brilliantly. Ji Yunhuan, dressed in her nightgown, stood by the window, looking out at the serene yard, recalling her childhood.

Back then, there was Chenchen, there were her parents...

Now, she seemed a bit lonely.

She had just woken up from a nap and still had a drowsy expression.

Warmth pushed open the door and walked in. "You’re up already?"

"I rested for a while. I feel much better." Before sleep, she had felt like it was the end of the world. Now, she felt like the whole world was full of hope again.

"There is nothing you can’t overcome. Don’t think about those things." Warmth comforted her. "If you can’t marry Li Longtao, we can still find another good man."

Ji Yunhuan felt there was no hope. "Do you think anyone else would be willing to marry me? With Qi Cheng around, he’s determined not to let me find another man in this lifetime. Otherwise, he wouldn’t keep on..."

"Keep on what?" Warmth handed her a coffee from the tray. "You mean..."

"Yes, what happened with Mr. Cheng was also his doing. To keep me from seeing other men, he did all that." Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to hide it from Warmth anymore. She smiled helplessly. "He, Mr. Qi, is so powerful, it seems I can’t resist him."

Warmth’s face darkened. "He’s gone too far. I really didn’t think he’d go this far! Is having money so great? Is having power so great? Didn’t he consider your feelings?"

"Do you think someone like him would consider other people’s feelings?" Ji Yunhuan was calm. "It’s not like I just found out he’s that kind of person. It’s fine."

"He really..." Warmth showed her disdain. "Perhaps he wants to be with you, but this is too much! He lied to you for so long, and made you suffer so much."

The point was, even if Qi Cheng sincerely wanted to win Ji Yunhuan back, he shouldn’t use such methods.

Could it be that the only thing he could flaunt in front of Ji Yunhuan was his power?

The more he used his power to force Ji Yunhuan into submission, the more it would hurt her.

So, men truly didn’t understand women’s hearts.

Ji Yunhuan looked out the window and sighed. "The scenery is beautiful at this hour."

"You still have the mood to admire the view." Warmth couldn’t help but laugh weakly.

Thinking about unhappy things wouldn’t help.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Lawyer Liu called just now."

"What did he say?"

"He said, before Li Longtao left, he changed the company’s legal representative to me. Now the company belongs to me." Thinking of this, Ji Yunhuan sneered at herself. "If I had known he’d give up the company so easily, why did he make that whole mess with Tang Yin back then? Why didn’t he just sell everything to Tang Yin?"

People!

Truly hard to understand.

Warmth chuckled. "If he had sold the company to Tang Yin back then, would things be as good now? Immigration, so much money. I heard Qi Cheng even gifted him a game company abroad. If he had compromised so easily at the beginning, you wouldn’t have chosen to marry him! A man like him is really...kind of laughable."
