Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Missing Her, Really Missing Her (5)_1

The phone rang for a long time. Just as it was about to hang up, he suddenly stopped and looked at it.

He had set a special ringtone for her, her calls would sound different, but just now...

He almost ignored it.

If he remembered correctly, this should be Ji Yunhuan calling?

But, would she call him?

Ji Yunhuan listened to the phone that had not been answered and couldn’t help but frown.

She hadn’t wanted to call Qi Cheng, but she couldn’t find anyone else near Bai Liyan, and she couldn’t reach anyone else, so she had to call Qi Cheng.

Just when she thought no one would answer, it suddenly went quiet on the other end. It was Qi Cheng who had answered the phone.

Qi Cheng sat on a chair in the woodworking room, his hand holding the phone was trembling. He almost couldn’t hold onto it.

It was indeed Ji Yunhuan calling him.

How could she possibly be calling him?

He wanted to speak but was afraid she’d want to talk about something else.

The feeling of surprise lingered in his chest.

Seeing he wasn’t speaking, Ji Yunhuan felt a little annoyed, "What, I rarely call you, and you don’t even want to talk to me?"

"You need something from me?" Qi Cheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.

"Can you come to the hospital?" she pleaded.

When asking for help, one shouldn’t be too forceful.

"Are you sick?" Qi Cheng’s previously calm tone immediately turned anxious.

If she wasn’t still mad at him, Ji Yunhuan would definitely have been frightened by him.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "I’m not sick, it’s Bai Liyan. He’s not feeling well, so come and take a look!"

The name Bai Liyan from her mouth instantly wiped away the joy in Qi Cheng’s eyes. He had thought she missed him, but it turned out...

"You’re with him?"

"What’s wrong with that?" Ji Yunhuan said, "If you don’t want to come, forget it."

Her cold tone dampened half of Qi Cheng’s excitement.

He angrily asked, "Which hospital?"

Although he was angry, how could he pretend not to know when Ji Yunhuan and Bai Liyan were together?

Ji Yunhuan gave him the location and quickly hung up the phone.

She could sense Qi Cheng was angry.

Good, let him be angry!

She was very angry too.

She just wanted him to feel what it was like to be so mad you could spit blood.

That day at the hotel, she was driven to such helplessness by him.

If Bai Liyan hadn’t stepped in suddenly, she might have been driven to jump into the river again out of anger.

Qi Cheng’s car stopped at the hospital entrance, followed by a large group of people. He walked into the hospital with a chilling presence. The passersby all stared at him.

Qi Cheng hadn’t walked far before he arrived at the hospital garden. It was very quiet here. Ji Yunhuan stood there, her hands in her pockets, pacing. She wore a dress and stood among the flowers, like a fairy.

Bai Liyan irritatingly sat on a wooden bench behind her.

Qi Cheng walked over to her in large strides.

"Sir, calm down."

Assistant Gao cautiously reminded him beside him.

Qi Cheng looked a bit terrifying. Assistant Gao feared Qi Cheng might do something to harm Ji Yunhuan, which Qi Cheng would surely regret later.

"I’m very calm." Qi Cheng walked over, and as Ji Yunhuan saw him, he quickly concealed his intimidating aura and became gentle and composed.

He looked at Ji Yunhuan gently, "You specifically called me over, is there something you need?"

Thinking he would be angry upon meeting, Ji Yunhuan had prepared for it. But Qi Cheng was so gentle, she wasn’t used to it.

Pointing to Bai Liyan, she said, "He’s not feeling well. You send him back! Also, Bai Liyan’s mother is in the hospital too, handle that."

After what happened at the hotel that day, Qi Cheng had no desire to deal with Bai Liyan anymore.

Having been friends for many years, being stabbed in the back hurt him deeply. Qi Cheng suppressed his displeasure and fervently focused on Ji Yunhuan, "Are you less angry since you called me?"

Ji Yunhuan feared he would misunderstand, coldly looking at him, "No, I just didn’t have anyone else to call. You handle it, I’ll be leaving."

Qi Cheng grabbed her hand.

Ji Yunhuan tensed and coldly pulled her hand away.

He wouldn’t hold her too tightly for fear of hurting her.

Ji Yunhuan walked around the plants and soon left.

Qi Cheng’s people respectfully watched her go, not daring to stop her.

As soon as she left, Qi Cheng’s gaze fell on Bai Liyan.

Since their argument that day, he didn’t want to handle Bai Liyan’s affairs, but seeing Bai Liyan looking so unwell...

He finally realized that Bai Liyan had the same condition Ji Yunhuan previously had.

Bai Liyan didn’t tell anyone about his condition.

Qi Cheng instructed someone to stay with Bai Liyan and went to check on Bai Liyan’s mother. When she woke up, Qi Cheng arranged for Bai Liyan and Aunt Bai to be sent home.

Bai Liyan had an apartment here, always living there with many servants.

After sending them home, Aunt Bai asked Qi Cheng to stay. She gratefully said, "Qi Cheng, thank you for bringing us back."

Qi Cheng thought, he only did it for Ji Yunhuan. But, he had always liked Aunt Bai.

"It’s nothing, Auntie. Why didn’t you tell us you were coming?"

"I just wanted to visit here. Who knew my old ailment would flare up?" Aunt Bai said helplessly.

Not seeing Ji Yunhuan when she woke, Aunt Bai was somewhat surprised.

Qi Cheng chatted with her for a while and then said, "Auntie, take care. I’ll visit you another day. You’re welcome to visit my home anytime."

"I definitely will." Though Aunt Bai rarely went out or interacted with prestigious families, spending most of her time alone at home, many saw her as almost non-existent.

So, she came here by herself, surprising both Qi Cheng and Bai Liyan.

Before leaving, Qi Cheng looked at Bai Liyan, saying, "I need to talk to you."

Though he hadn’t spoken yet, Bai Liyan guessed what was coming.

He followed Qi Cheng outside, standing on the steps.

Qi Cheng asked, "Why are you with Yunhuan?"

"Shouldn’t I be with her?" They were, after all, engaged.

"Should?" Qi Cheng scoffed. Bai Liyan didn’t reflect at all.

Bai Liyan’s attitude hadn’t changed despite Qi Cheng helping him today. He persisted, hoping Qi Cheng would let go, "You have so many women around you, why hold onto her? Your family wouldn’t approve of you being with her, Qi Cheng, don’t you understand?"

...

Talking to Bai Liyan felt futile.

Qi Cheng gave up completely.

He didn’t even look at Bai Liyan and left directly.

That night, Ji Yunhuan was still working in the restaurant. It was the busy time, and she couldn’t stop for a moment.

"Sir, how many in your party?" she heard the waiter say.

The guest didn’t reply.

Lifting her head, Ji Yunhuan saw Qi Cheng entering from the door.
