Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Wanting to Strangle Her (2)_1

Being outside in the sun all day made her really uncomfortable, and she was forced to follow Bai Liyan upstairs. This place, which she had only visited twice, seemed to become her temporary home.

Bai Liyan opened the door and walked inside. Ji Yunhuan stood at the door, "This is your room."

"Of course you are staying in my room! What else could you want?" Bai Liyan smiled as he turned on the light and said to her, "Come in. Don’t worry, I won’t take advantage of a pregnant woman."

Ji Yunhuan didn’t have that concern; she simply felt that this was not right. She followed Bai Liyan into the room, and Bai Liyan let her sit on the bed. He then instructed a servant to bring up a clean set of pajamas. "You were out in the sun for so long. You can take a bath first and then get some sleep."

He placed his hand on her forehead. "Yunhuan, you look horrible right now. I remember when you first met Qi Cheng, you weren’t like this."

His eyes truly were filled with concern for her.

Ji Yunhuan felt both surprised and flattered. "Why are you so good to me?"

Bai Liyan said, "I have known about you and Qi Cheng for a long time. I knew he married you because of Su Molang. I also knew that the Ji Family’s bankruptcy was related to Qi Cheng. I understand the grievances between you two more than anyone else. I could have told you earlier, warned you to be careful, but I hesitated back then. So, the pain you’re experiencing today, half of it is my responsibility."

"..."

The room was very quiet, and Bai Liyan’s words were full of guilt.

No wonder he had hoped before that she would break up with Qi Cheng. It turned out to be because of this. If he had told her clearly from the start, she wouldn’t have been in this situation with Qi Cheng today!

...

The servant quickly brought the clean clothes upstairs.

Bai Liyan opened the bathroom door and said to her, "You can use anything inside. You can also use this room freely from now on."

"But this is your room."

"It’s nothing. I can sleep in the room next door."

"This isn’t right."

"There’s nothing wrong with it. You are my fiancée after all. You said it in front of all those people, whoever was willing to marry you, you would go with them. Did you forget?" he said, unable to help but laugh.

This smile made Ji Yunhuan feel secure.

So be it.

Not wanting his help, he had already helped her.

No matter how stubborn she was, she had ultimately accepted his kindness.

After Bai Liyan left, Ji Yunhuan took a bath first. Being in the sun for too long made her sweat all over. After washing, she dried her body, put on the clean pajamas the servant brought up, and lay down on the bed.

This wasn’t her first pregnancy, but this time, she felt more tired than before.

She lay on the bed, closing her eyes, and thought about the look in Qi Cheng’s eyes before he left.

When she said the child belonged to Bai Liyan, she could clearly feel his anger—he was so angry that he wanted to kill her.

At this point, Qi Cheng probably hated her deeply.

But she didn’t regret it.

Only this way could she stop him from entangling with her.

Unconsciously, she placed her hand on her belly, feeling a slight warmth there. She wanted to give birth to this child, but she didn’t want Qi Cheng to know.

So, she could only temporarily pretend the child was Bai Liyan’s.

Even though Bai Liyan was willing to help her, she still felt that it was inappropriate.

Bai Liyan pushed open the door and came in. Ji Yunhuan was already asleep. He glanced at her lying on the bed and then closed the door and walked out.

"Is she asleep?" his mother asked as she came upstairs.

"Yeah."

"You have to take good care of her. She has a child, but he doesn’t even know. What if she had aborted the child today without the hospital’s call?!" Aunt Bai was still terrified and didn’t dare to be careless.

Bai Liyan looked at his mother and sighed helplessly, "Mom."

It seemed she really believed it.

Aunt Bai continued, "Women tend to be more sensitive during pregnancy, and given the disparity in your status, she must be worried and thinking too much. You need to take good care of her."

"Alright." Seeing his mother was serious, Bai Liyan just went along with it.

In the evening, Aunt Bai personally prepared a large table of food and asked Bai Liyan to go upstairs to wake Ji Yunhuan.

After entering the room, Bai Liyan brought in a few shopping bags. "These are the clothes I had someone buy for you. Wear whatever you like."

Ji Yunhuan said, "Thank you for the trouble."

"It’s no trouble at all. I’ll leave now." Bai Liyan went out the door.

Seeing his considerate behavior, Ji Yunhuan truly felt grateful to him.

Even though Bai Liyan was the one who wronged Chenchen, he was not obliged to be so kind to her.

After getting up, Ji Yunhuan chose a beige long skirt, which fit her well. She had a good figure, and any clothes looked good on her.

She opened the door and happened to see Bai Liyan’s back. He had been standing at the door waiting for her.

Hearing the door open, Bai Liyan turned around, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He stared intently at Ji Yunhuan.

As a doctor for many years, in his eyes, men and women were the same, so women never seemed special to him. But she... Her shoulder-length hair was slightly curled, her face was delicate and pale, and her features were as if they were drawn from a painting.

He always knew Ji Yunhuan was beautiful. When she married Qi Cheng, everyone who saw her said the same thing and admired Qi Cheng for finding such a beautiful woman. Bai Liyan had never felt that way.

Back then, whenever he thought of how Ji Yunhuan had enchanted his two best friends, he only felt disgusted.

But at this moment, he suddenly discovered the exceptional beauty in Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan gently wiped her face. After the bath, she hadn’t put on any makeup and stood before him with a bare face. She worried a bit, "Is there something on my face?"

He stared at her so strangely.

Bai Liyan snapped out of it, realizing he had lost his composure. "No, let’s go downstairs."

Ji Yunhuan followed him slowly down the stairs. The atmosphere was very quiet. She asked, "Aunt Bai said your dad is coming, is that true?"

"My dad? He is already here." Bai Liyan looked at her. "Why, are you afraid to meet my dad? You’re not the timid type."

"But I’m lying!" She felt guilty, carrying Qi Cheng’s child but being mistaken for Bai Liyan’s, and she didn’t dare to explain.

Bai Liyan chuckled, "Don’t worry, it’s fine."

They walked to the dining room, where Aunt Bai sat. Next to her was another man, presumably Bai Liyan’s father.

Bai Liyan’s father was in his fifties but looked very young, without a hint of gray hair, and had a gentle and elegant demeanor.

"Yunhuan is here." Aunt Bai was particularly enthusiastic when she saw Ji Yunhuan. She stood up, and Bai Liyan’s father also looked toward Ji Yunhuan.
