Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Another Side of Qi Cheng (5)_1

The aunt said, "Yunhuan is not asleep? How come she came downstairs."

"I couldn’t sleep. I heard Liyan had returned, so I came to check on him." Ji Yunhuan looked at Bai Liyan and could see his tiredness. Despite being a genius doctor, he found business much harder than Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng was determined to deal with him, making it a bit tough for him to handle.

Originally, Ji Yunhuan wanted to talk to Bai Liyan about the restaurant. Seeing him like this, she didn’t know how to start the conversation.

"Do you have something to tell me?" Bai Liyan’s gentle gaze fell on Ji Yunhuan, his eyes full of concern.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Nothing."

"But you waited for Liyan all day." The aunt felt that Ji Yunhuan was hiding something.

"It’s just a small matter. Seeing how hard Liyan works, I chose not to mention it." Ji Yunhuan smiled, "It’s very late now. Both of you should rest early, Aunt and Liyan!"

"Alright, all rest together." The aunt addressed the couple, "You two go rest. Don’t worry about me."

Bai Liyan and Ji Yunhuan went upstairs together. Taking advantage of the absence of his mother, Bai Liyan asked, "Do you really have something to talk to me about?"

Ji Yunhuan looked at him, "It’s nothing."

"Has Qi Cheng been pestering you again? I heard you went out today." Bai Liyan could only think in this direction.

"No. You don’t need to worry about me." Ji Yunhuan changed the topic, "I just heard what you said to Aunt. Is Qi Cheng targeting you?"

"Not really targeting, just giving me some difficult problems. It’s nothing, I will solve it." Bai Liyan smiled, not wanting Ji Yunhuan to feel pressured. "I grew up with Qi Cheng. I know him very well. Although it gives me a headache, it is not something that can stump me. Moreover, he still seems to be considerate of our past relationship; he has shown some mercy."

"Really?" Ji Yunhuan said, "I’m very afraid you are lying to me."

"I have no reason to lie to you! But, if you are worried about Qi Cheng troubling you again, why don’t you come with me tomorrow? It’s just a little outing. Staying at home is too nerve-wracking." Bai Liyan suggested.

He was very worried that when he was not around, Qi Cheng would come to bother Ji Yunhuan again.

Although Ji Yunhuan wanted to agree, she thought about the restaurant issue and refused, "No need, I met Qi Cheng today. He didn’t even pay attention to me, didn’t even bother to look at me. He won’t pester me like he used to, so you don’t have to worry about that."

"Really?" Bai Liyan clearly didn’t believe it.

"Maybe my previous words made him give up! Otherwise, he wouldn’t be taking it out on you now."

"Since you say so, that’s good. I am still quite worried about taking you out and not being able to take care of you properly, especially now that you are pregnant." After saying this, his gaze fell on her belly, "I don’t know where Qi Cheng got his luck, making you bear two of his children."

Bai Liyan’s words made Ji Yunhuan pause slightly. She couldn’t help laughing, "You are too good at joking. I remember back then, you said I wasn’t worthy of Qi Cheng."

"That was because I was stupid and prejudiced against you." In the past, Qi Cheng was a friend to him, and Ji Yunhuan was just an ordinary person. But now, in his eyes, Ji Yunhuan was a woman.

Although she had already given birth to a child, she seemed even more beautiful than when they first met.

Ji Yunhuan was amused by him. He said seriously that he was stupid, which was somewhat funny. "Aren’t you a genius? Even you have times when you call yourself stupid."

"..." Bai Liyan sighed, "Let’s go to sleep. Today was really too tiring."

He opened the room door for her, watched her walk in, and said to her from the doorway, "Goodnight."

Ji Yunhuan nodded, "Goodnight."

Bai Liyan walked next door before she closed the door.

Ji Yunhuan heard the sound of the door closing next door, and she closed her door with a heavy heart.

Originally, she thought she could talk about the issue with Bai Liyan, but now it seemed...

Sigh.

She really didn’t know how to trouble him even more.

Lying in bed, it took Ji Yunhuan a long time to fall asleep. When she woke up the next morning, Bai Liyan had already left.

Aunt was in the kitchen wearing an apron, making breakfast. Seeing her get up, she smiled and said, "Up so early."

"Liyan already left?" Ji Yunhuan asked.

Aunt replied, "He had some work at the company. He said he would be on a business trip for two days."

Soon, Aunt brought the breakfast she made to Ji Yunhuan, "Come, have some. Eat more so the baby can grow up healthy."

While Aunt spoke, her eyes were fixed on Ji Yunhuan’s belly.

Ji Yunhuan smiled helplessly, "It’s only been two months, still a long way to go."

Aunt smiled and sat beside her.

Ji Yunhuan told her, "I also need to go out today."

"Is the problem solved? Did you talk to Liyan last night?"

"Hmm." Ji Yunhuan didn’t want Aunt to worry, so she nodded, "Just a small matter. He solved it quickly."

After eating, Ji Yunhuan went to the restaurant on time.

Wen Nuan was sitting in the restaurant, eating breakfast. The food was laid out in front of her, and she had a troubled expression.

For Wen Nuan, this should be the biggest issue she encountered since opening the restaurant.

Thinking it was all her causing trouble, Ji Yunhuan felt uncomfortable. She walked over and sat down, looking at Wen Nuan, "Sister."

She felt a bit guilty, fearing Wen Nuan would blame her. After all, this incident was caused by her.

In today’s world, there are not many people like Wen Nuan who took care of her. Even though they had no particular relationship, Wen Nuan still treated her as her best friend.

Wen Nuan looked at Ji Yunhuan, but instead of blaming, she said, "I thought you wouldn’t come today. Since you are pregnant, you should rest well at home."

Ji Yunhuan said, "This thing started because of me. How could I hide at home living an easy life? I’ve already asked someone to look for a new place. If we find something suitable, we’ll move there. I know this place has been running for a long time. Moving suddenly will affect business, but we have no choice. I’ve burdened you."

Asking Qi Cheng for help wouldn’t grant any mercy. This was the only way.

Wen Nuan listened to her and also smiled, "I’ve also been looking into it, but so far found nothing. Another issue is, do you think moving will make Qi Cheng let us go?"

Ji Yunhuan paused.

She hadn’t thought about the worst-case scenario.

Wen Nuan said, "I know of a few places that are empty, but they said they were sold to someone else. I think no matter how many times we move, once or a hundred times, if he doesn’t want to let us go. It won’t matter."

Wen Nuan’s analysis was not without reason. Qi Cheng really might do this, "It’s all because of me that you got into trouble."
