Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Wanting to Strangle Her (5)_1

"Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to offer their sincerity for money." If money could buy her loyalty and care, he wouldn’t be in such pain right now.

Assistant Gao said, "There’s something I want to tell you, but I’m afraid it will upset you."

"Go ahead."

"Ms. Xie is pregnant."

"What’s her pregnancy got to do with me?" If it weren’t for Xie Xingwei, he and Ji Yunhuan...

Qi Cheng stood up, coldly walked into the bathroom, freshened up, and headed to the meeting.

After the heartache, he felt numb instead.

There was no need to keep pining for Ji Yunhuan.

A woman like her, what right did she have for him to keep thinking about her?

Since she could betray him so easily, she wasn’t worth cherishing.

He persuaded himself to stop thinking about Ji Yunhuan. Since she liked Bai Liyan, let her be with Bai Liyan.

Just consider it fulfilling their happiness—his most beloved woman, and his best friend.

In the morning, after leaving the meeting, Qi Cheng received a call from his mother.

"Qi Cheng, do you have time?"

"What’s up?"

"That Lin Xiang we mentioned last time is here. Can you find time to meet her? I think she’s quite nice, and you can’t stay single forever!" Mother Qi had prepared a lot of words to persuade him.

After just saying a few words, Qi Cheng replied, "Okay."

"Are you serious?" Mother Qi was a little surprised.

"Yes."

At 7:30 PM, Qi Cheng walked into a high-end restaurant. He had scheduled a date with Lin Xiang and arrived on time.

Twenty-five years old, just returned from abroad, Lin Xiang wasn’t influenced by foreign culture at all. Her long, neat hair showed no signs of dyeing or perming, and her outfit had some Chinese style. On her, it looked gentle, like a classic beauty straight out of a painting.

Seeing Qi Cheng, she quickly curled her lips into a smile and waved, "Over here."

Qi Cheng walked over and sat down. Lin Xiang smiled at him and said, "Brother Qi Cheng, do you remember me? I used to play with you all the time when I was little."

"I remember." Girls change a lot as they grow up. She certainly didn’t look like she did when she was a kid.

Qi Cheng’s attitude was somewhat indifferent. He never knew how to be enthusiastic around other women; he was always like this.

Lin Xiang didn’t mind his lukewarm attitude. "Brother Qi Cheng has really changed a lot compared to before. You used to love to smile and talk a lot, and you’d always take Lin Xiang wherever you went."

It was only after being kidnapped that his personality became much more restrained.

Qi Cheng sat listening to Lin Xiang reminisce about the past and occasionally responded. Despite his indifference, it didn’t dampen Lin Xiang’s enthusiasm. She liked Qi Cheng, and when she learned about his marriage, she was heartbroken. So now, she definitely wanted to seize this rare opportunity.

After finishing the meal, Qi Cheng said, "Let’s go back."

Lin Xiang followed behind him, "Your family driver brought me here. I didn’t drive. Can you give me a ride?"

She wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

Qi Cheng said, "Okay."

Hearing his response, Lin Xiang smiled, "Brother Qi Cheng, you’re so nice. I knew you still care about me like before."

Qi Cheng gave this little girl a meaningful look. She certainly knew how to flatter herself.

But, this Lin Xiang didn’t seem so bad. At least she wouldn’t despise him like Ji Yunhuan, and she wouldn’t be with Bai Liyan either.

In Lin Xiang’s heart, wasn’t it full of him?

He found himself ridiculous.

So many women loved him, but he specifically fell for the cold and heartless Ji Yunhuan.

In the elevator, Lin Xiang kept talking. Qi Cheng listened quietly, finding her quite adorable.

His family wanted him to marry Lin Xiang, and the Lin family’s social status wasn’t bad either.

Frankly, Lin Xiang was more suitable than Ji Yunhuan.

Qi Cheng thought about these complicated matters and kept comforting himself.

So when Lin Xiang took the initiative to hold his arm, he didn’t push her away.

The elevator doors opened. Ji Yunhuan and Bai Liyan were standing outside. They had just finished shopping upstairs and seeing the two in the elevator, Ji Yunhuan’s body instinctively tensed up.

Luckily, she had long known what kind of person he was. After leaving her, he would definitely go after other women... Thinking this, she forcibly restrained the sorrow in her heart.

Bai Liyan was carrying the things they had just bought. He looked like a man accompanying his girlfriend shopping. This scene was very eye-catching to Qi Cheng.

Although he had told himself many times to fulfill their happiness, to fulfill them, seeing this scene in person, Qi Cheng felt like he was going crazy.

Lin Xiang greeted Bai Liyan politely, "Brother Liyan."

"Lin Xiang?"

"Yes, it’s me. Long time no see." Lin Xiang smiled and invited, "Come on in."

Bai Liyan looked at Ji Yunhuan beside him, guessing she didn’t want to face this situation. So he declined, "No need. We’ll take the next one."

He pulled Ji Yunhuan’s hand and walked aside.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t push Bai Liyan away.

Qi Cheng could let other women hold his hand, so why couldn’t she hold someone else’s?

Lin Xiang looked at Qi Cheng and was about to close the elevator door when Qi Cheng abruptly let go of her hand and walked out.

She saw Qi Cheng leave the elevator and quickly followed.

Ji Yunhuan had just walked to another elevator door with Bai Liyan when she felt a tight grip on her hand. The familiar scent and strength told her who it was even without turning around.

She stopped and noticed Lin Xiang catching up, looking surprised at the scene before her—Qi Cheng, who had just been with her, was now holding Ji Yunhuan’s hand tightly, fighting with Bai Liyan for a woman.

"Let go," Ji Yunhuan said coldly.

Qi Cheng held on to her tightly, his eyes full of anger. He felt his patience had reached its limit. Despite convincing himself to forget Ji Yunhuan in the past moments.

But as soon as he thought of how she was his woman not too long ago and now carried another man’s child, he had an urge to strangle her.

Bai Liyan said, "Qi Cheng, don’t do this."

Qi Cheng glanced at Bai Liyan and sneered, "Do you think you’re in any position to talk to me now? Bai Liyan, I warned you before. If you dared to have designs on her, we’d be enemies."

Ji Yunhuan pulled out her hand, "Enough, Qi Cheng. Do you think you have any right to interfere in my matters now? Who do you think you are to me? You’re just my ex-husband."

He had so many women around him yet pretended to be affectionate in front of her. Just thinking about it made her feel unspeakable disappointment.

Qi Cheng remained silent, his dark eyes fixed intensely on Ji Yunhuan.
