Chapter 361: Chapter 361: You Like Her Too, Don’t You (1)_1

Qi Cheng stood up and was the first to leave the living room.

Bai Liyan said to Ji Yunhuan, "Wait here. I’ll go talk to him."

"Go ahead." Ji Yunhuan was still immersed in Qi Cheng’s recent gaze.

She was a bit dazed.

Wondering if she had been too harsh on Qi Cheng.

Even though Qi Cheng had other women, even though Qi Cheng had betrayed her, she shouldn’t make Qi Cheng feel like he’d lost his best friend even if they were no longer together.

He should have trusted Bai Liyan deeply.

Seeing her with Bai Liyan, he should be in great pain.

Bai Liyan and Qi Cheng walked into the spacious swimming pool area. It was cool here.

Qi Cheng stood coldly at the edge of the pool, "What do you want to say?"

"I’m here about the Warmth Restaurant." Bai Liyan looked at Qi Cheng, "Even if you and Yunhuan have split, there’s no need to buy the restaurant she co-founded with friends just to make things difficult for her. Qi Cheng, you’re not that kind of person. Even if you broke up with those women in the past, you never made things difficult for them. It was a clean break. Since that’s the case, why would you want to make Ji Yunhuan so miserable? Don’t forget, she’s pregnant now. She’s a mother-to-be. If you keep upsetting her like this, who knows what might happen."

"You think you have the right to tell me this?" Qi Cheng, who had been quietly listening at first, lost his cool upon hearing the words ’mother-to-be.’ His anger flared up. "She’s carrying your child, yet you want me to consider her? Bai Liyan, how did I not realize before how shameless you are?"

Bai Liyan could not argue about the child.

He knew that if he told the truth, Qi Cheng would cling to Ji Yunhuan just as before.

That’s probably why Ji Yunhuan hadn’t told Qi Cheng the truth herself!

Seeing Bai Liyan’s silence, Qi Cheng scoffed, "At the beginning, you told me you were marrying her just to help her, not to take her away from me. You advised me not to push her too hard. I listened to you, I thought that way. But in the end... you slept with my woman, you took the only love of my life. You, my best friend?"

He spoke as he scoffed, even he felt how ironic it all was.

Bai Liyan laughed as well, "The only one? If she’s your only one, how could you let another woman carry your child?"

"Another woman?" Qi Cheng looked puzzled.

"Are you still pretending? Xie Xingwei is pregnant, over two months now. Two months ago you were sick, she happened to be at your place during that time. During that period, she had no other men..."

After hearing from Ji Yunhuan, Bai Liyan had someone investigate. Because of his good relationship with Qi Cheng, it wasn’t hard to find out what happened at the Qi Residence.

That night, Xie Xingwei had indeed stayed at the Qi Family.

She was eventually sent away by Assistant Gao.

Mentioning Xie Xingwei, Qi Cheng looked at Bai Liyan, "You investigated me?"

"That was not my intention."

"So Yunhuan knows about Xie Xingwei and me, because of what you said?" Qi Cheng glared at Bai Liyan furiously.

He had been investigating this matter but hadn’t found anything. After Ji Yunhuan said she was carrying Bai Liyan’s child, he had given up.

Now, hearing Bai Liyan mention it, Qi Cheng couldn’t help but think that Bai Liyan had been causing trouble all along, leading Ji Yunhuan to leave him.

"Were you planning to keep it from her?" Bai Liyan looked at Qi Cheng in disbelief, "Is this how you treat your one true love?"

"This is my business." He hadn’t touched Xie Xingwei or made her pregnant. But was there any point in explaining this now?

Ji Yunhuan already had Bai Liyan’s child. She even knew about the birthmark on Bai Liyan’s body. If they hadn’t slept together, she wouldn’t know such details.

Thinking about this, he felt utterly devastated.

Bai Liyan said, "You can let another woman carry your child. She can carry mine too. After all, you owe her the most, so you should try to let her go."

Hearing Bai Liyan’s words, Qi Cheng suddenly smiled and said something irrelevant, "Do you remember what you said when I first got together with Ji Yunhuan?"

Bai Liyan was puzzled, "What did I say?"

Qi Cheng, "You told me to be careful not to fall for her. Right?"

At that time, he didn’t like Ji Yunhuan. At that time, Bai Liyan was still his best friend, different from now, very different!

He suddenly missed those days.

Bai Liyan said, "I did say that. But you still fell for her."

"Not only did I fall for her, but so did you! Don’t tell me you helped her just for Chenchen. It’s an excuse! All excuses! You fell in love with her!" Knowing him too well, Qi Cheng could see through Bai Liyan’s true feelings, "You selfishly wanted her, so you kept looking for chances to ruin my relationship with her."

"Fell in love with her? I did not." Bai Liyan denied it.

How could he fall for Ji Yunhuan?

Impossible!

Absolutely not!

At most, he was just interested in her.

Facing his denial, Qi Cheng was sure, "You don’t have to deny it. Your eyes don’t lie to me. You, me, and Su Molang—we have always been the best of friends. I once advised Su Molang not to get too caught up, not to be so obsessed with a woman. But I didn’t expect that upon meeting Ji Yunhuan, I would fall for her too! And it’s the same for you. When you warned me, it was fated you would fall for her too."

Ironically, he hadn’t understood this before. Now he did, but it seemed too late.

Had he known, he would never have allowed Ji Yunhuan to have too much contact with Bai Liyan.

"Qi Cheng, you’re ridiculous." Bai Liyan said indifferently.

Qi Cheng chuckled, "Aren’t I? If you hadn’t noticed she was different from other women, why would you think she was dangerous? She’s beautiful; you can’t deny it. Men love beautiful women, you and I are the same."

"I told you I didn’t." Bai Liyan’s tone was harsh. He refused to believe he had fallen in love with Ji Yunhuan, "If you hadn’t pushed her too hard, I wouldn’t have intervened in your matters with her."

"You’ve been intervening all along! From the start, you never wanted us together. Talking as if it was for my own good, it was all selfishness!" Qi Cheng looked at Bai Liyan coldly, suddenly realizing that he had always kept the most dangerous person by his side, someone he trusted too much to see clearly until now. Seeing Bai Liyan’s nervousness, he asked, "Why else would you feel guilty now?"

Qi Cheng’s words made Bai Liyan pause.

Immediately, images of Ji Yunhuan flashed in his mind: her smile, her sadness, her every move seemed to attract him, and he found her so beautiful.
