Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Her Face is as White and Tender as a Peeled Egg (5)_1

Hearing this, Ji Yunhuan sobered up a lot. She looked at Qi Cheng. "Really?"

"Yes."

"Qi Cheng." She gazed at him tenderly.

In the past, only he would look at Ji Yunhuan this way.

She had been doing this for a few days now. Qi Cheng had already gotten used to it.

He responded, "Do you have anything to say? Anything you want, I can buy it for you while I’m out."

"I don’t want anything." She looked up and gently kissed his chin. "I’ll wait for you to come back."

Feeling her clingy tenderness, he smiled. "You’ve been too good lately."

She replied, "It’s you who’s acting strange."

"How am I strange?"

"In the past, I had to beg you to see the child. Now, you take the initiative to bring him to see me." She felt Qi Cheng was like a changed man.

Qi Cheng tightly held her hand. She leaned on him. Her body was so soft. He really wanted to lie in this tender world and not get up.

To prevent himself from spending the whole day with her at home again, he gave her one last kiss and left the comfortable bed. "I’m leaving. You keep sleeping. Get up when you’ve had enough rest. I’ll have Aunt Liu prepare breakfast for you."

"Okay." Ji Yunhuan lay in bed, watching Qi Cheng change beside her.

He first took off his pajamas, revealing his lean but powerful body. But before she could enjoy the view long enough, he quickly put on his shirt.

As he buttoned up, his eyes occasionally fell on her.

Before leaving, he couldn’t help but kiss her again and then left the room.

Savoring the warmth he left on her forehead, Ji Yunhuan covered her head with her hand and opened her eyes.

She had never been so indulgent these past few days. She didn’t even need to pour her own water. Qi Cheng was really spoiling her.

Not long after Qi Cheng left, Ji Yunhuan got up.

It was midsummer, and staying in bed was pointless. She got up to wash up and noticed Qi Cheng’s toothbrush and cup beside hers. She didn’t know when they had become a matching set.

She reached out and picked them up, looked at them, just like seeing two close people together.

Qi Cheng left Ji Yunhuan’s house and first went to the police station. He met the police officer who had detained Ji Yunhuan last time.

He had already been dismissed. Today he was specially called back. He thought losing his job was the end of it. Unexpectedly, Qi Cheng called him again.

"Mr. Qi." He spoke cautiously.

Qi Cheng looked at him indifferently. "Sit."

"No need, I’ll stand." In front of Qi Cheng, he didn’t have the courage. Especially after he had just offended Qi Cheng.

"Who told you to detain Ji Yunhuan last time?" Qi Cheng asked directly.

The man looked at Qi Cheng. "I don’t understand what you mean, Mr. Qi."

"Who in the Qi family told you to do this?" Qi Cheng just wanted to know who was behind it.

"It was... it was..." The man hesitated to speak, afraid of offending someone again.

Qi Cheng waved his hand. Several subordinates came over and pressed the man onto the table. "You can choose not to speak, but I can’t guarantee you’ll have another chance to talk in the future."

Seeing this, the man knew he couldn’t hide it anymore and hurriedly said, "It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me!"

"Of course, I know it wasn’t you. You don’t know Yunhuan. There’s no reason for you to target him."

"It was Second Madam. She had the housemaid call and say that Ms. Ji needed to be punished properly."

"Are you sure?" The answer surprised Qi Cheng a bit.

If it were someone else, it might be more credible. After all, the second sister-in-law was the kindest to Yunhuan in the whole family. Logically, she wouldn’t do such a thing.

But...

The other party wouldn’t falsely accuse the second sister-in-law for no reason.

-

The car slowly drove into the Qi Family estate. Qi Cheng got out of the car. The second sister-in-law was playing with Yangyang in the sunlight.

Seeing Qi Cheng, she greeted with a smile, "Qi Cheng is here."

"Uncle," Yangyang also said softly.

Qi Cheng walked over and saw the second sister-in-law holding Yangyang. She said, "It’s too sunny outside. Let’s go inside. Qi Cheng, you come in too."

Qi Cheng followed her inside. The house’s air conditioning was on full blast.

The second sister-in-law sat down, asked someone to prepare a drink for the baby, and also got coffee for Qi Cheng.

She sat down and looked at Qi Cheng. "You called me the other day about Yunhuan. What’s going on? You hung up too quickly. I didn’t have time to ask clearly."

"You really don’t know, Second Sister-in-law?" Qi Cheng’s unfriendly tone made the second sister-in-law pause. "Know what?"

"She just wanted to see the child, so she followed you. Did the second sister-in-law not call the police to arrest her and have the police take good ’care’ of her?"

The second sister-in-law was feeding Yangyang drinks. When she heard this, she was so surprised she put down the cup, her face full of confusion. "Did this happen?"

"Second Sister-in-law won’t say she doesn’t know, will she?" Qi Cheng’s gaze and tone were full of hostility.

He didn’t believe the second sister-in-law was as innocent as she appeared.

The second sister-in-law said, "I remember something like that. When Yangyang and I were out, there was always a car following us. So I had someone handle it. Do you mean that was Yunhuan? I had no idea."

"Second Sister-in-law really didn’t know?" Qi Cheng asked coldly.

"Really, if I had known it was Yunhuan, I would never do such a thing. You’re saying she’s something. Why follow us? We’re family. Why not just talk? Could I possibly eat her?"

The second sister-in-law continued pretending to be ignorant.

In fact, how could she not know?

She knew it was Ji Yunhuan, so she specifically had someone ’take care’ of her.

The second sister-in-law didn’t want to harm Ji Yunhuan, but she wanted her to be punished and warned not to mess with the child again.

Only then would Ji Yunhuan stop keeping an eye on the child.

Seeing the second sister-in-law not admitting, Qi Cheng couldn’t force her to confess. He temporarily let it go and focused his gaze on Yangyang. "Today is the day I agreed to see Yangyang. I want to take him out."

The second sister-in-law paused and hesitated, "But, Yangyang hasn’t been feeling well these past two days. It’s not convenient to go out."

If it was before, the second sister-in-law wouldn’t oppose. But now, she didn’t want Qi Cheng to take Yangyang out. Because Qi Cheng had such a good relationship with Ji Yunhuan, if he took Yangyang out, it was to see Ji Yunhuan.

Although Yangyang doesn’t like Ji Yunhuan now, he is Yunhuan’s child. When he was born, he was so dependent on Ji Yunhuan. There’s a close mother-son bond. Once he gets used to it, he might develop feelings.

By then, would Yangyang still remember her as his mother?

"Second Sister-in-law has been taking care of him so hard. When he doesn’t feel well, of course, I should help out. After all, I am his father." Ever since Yangyang was sensible, because of their mutual agreement, Qi’s mother also spoke for the second sister-in-law, hoping to have Yangyang raised by her.

Thinking he hadn’t done his duty as a father, Qi Cheng agreed.

He never mentioned it; he didn’t want to embarrass the second sister-in-law.

But today...

Even if the second sister-in-law didn’t admit it, in Qi Cheng’s view, Ji Yunhuan’s matter wasn’t unrelated to her.
