Chapter 37: Chapter 37 You Get Out_1

"Did you help me get dressed?" Although she was almost certain, she still didn’t want to admit it.

Qi Cheng raised an eyebrow. "It’s not like I haven’t seen you before. Are you afraid of me dressing you? Or would you prefer someone else to help you?"

His teasing words made Ji Yunhuan’s face heat up even more. "Get out."

Just then, the Housekeeper came in, once again showing her loyalty. "Madam, how could you tell Sir to get out?"

In her eyes, nobody dared to tell Sir to leave.

In her eyes, Mr. Qi was the most esteemed presence.

Every time she heard the house servants defend her, Ji Yunhuan always felt the urge to lose her temper. She said to the Housekeeper, displeased, "Are you talking to me like this?"

The Housekeeper bowed her head.

Qi Cheng spoke indulgently, "She’s just protecting me. What’s wrong with that?"

"You..." Ji Yunhuan glared at him fiercely. She finally understood why the Housekeeper dared to be so bold. It was because Qi Cheng gave her the authority.

Qi Cheng didn’t leave. He sat beside her, scrutinizing her, his voice growing serious. "You fainted in the bathroom. If I hadn’t come upstairs to get something, you might have died in there. I already warned you to rest, but you didn’t listen. And now look at what happened. For the sake of your brother, you’ve completely disregarded your own life."

When Ji Chen was in trouble, Ji Yunhuan wouldn’t listen to anything he said. He didn’t bother to add fuel to the fire at that time. But now, he naturally intended to teach her a lesson.

Ji Yunhuan closed her eyes impatiently. The Housekeeper spoke again, "Madam, how could you show such an attitude when Sir is talking to you?"

"Get out!" Ji Yunhuan finally couldn’t take it anymore. What kind of Housekeeper was this? Clearly a lackey of Qi Cheng. Anything she did that showed the slightest disrespect towards Qi Cheng, the Housekeeper would always comment on it.

Qi Cheng would never blame the Housekeeper. In this household, the Housekeeper, who had been with the Qi Family for many years, had certain privileges. Even Xie Xingwei wouldn’t dare to give the Housekeeper the cold shoulder.

However, seeing Ji Yunhuan in such a disheveled state, he didn’t want to anger her further.

He said to the Housekeeper, "Leave. Let her rest well."

The Housekeeper respectfully said, "This is the soup I’ve just made for Madam. Her body is very weak and she needs to replenish her strength."

She placed the bowl aside and then left.

In front of Qi Cheng, she was always respectful.

Qi Cheng lifted the warm bowl of soup and called Ji Yunhuan to sit up. "Drink this first."

The gentle manner he displayed now was in stark contrast to the man who had just condoned the Housekeeper’s reprimand of her.

Ji Yunhuan sat up anyway. She wouldn’t neglect her own health.

As she reached out to take the bowl, Qi Cheng said, "I’ll feed you."

She was taken aback. He had already scooped some soup with a small spoon, tasted it himself to ensure it wasn’t too hot, and then brought it to her mouth.

Ji Yunhuan glanced at him with disdain. "I don’t eat things that have been touched by someone else’s mouth."

"If you say another word, I’ll kiss you." She seemed to forget that he had kissed her before. So, he needed to help refresh her memory.

Ji Yunhuan’s face heated up again, feeling that she couldn’t be more embarrassed than she was now.

Under his coercion, she finally took the soup he fed her.

Such close proximity made her hands clench nervously.

She didn’t know why, but no man had ever made her this nervous before. He was the first.

Perhaps it was because of the overwhelming aura he carried?

As she drank the soup, Qi Cheng observed her intently.

Because he was so close, her expression stiffened and her eyes darted, completely unlike the queenly Ji Yunhuan she normally was.

If a woman was naturally gentle, like Ouyang Fei, he wouldn’t be interested in the slightest. But Ji Yunhuan was different. She was proud by nature and rarely compromised. Seeing her so uncomfortable now amused him greatly.

Besides, with her stunningly beautiful face, he couldn’t help but want to kiss her, but he refrained.

Although he married her, he hated having a reaction to her.

Because deep down, he married her only for Su Molang. He didn’t wish to have any other feelings towards her, even if she was his wife.

Ji Yunhuan soon finished the soup. Qi Cheng put the bowl down, distanced himself from her, and said, "Sleep well for a while. I’ll wake you when it’s time."

It was already the afternoon. Ji Yunhuan watched him walk out before closing her eyes.

When it was nearly dark, the Housekeeper came to wake her, and had prepared clothes for her.

Ji Yunhuan got up to wash up. Worrying she might faint again, the Housekeeper stayed by her side.

After finishing everything, Ji Yunhuan glanced at the Female Housekeeper, thinking about how this woman devoted all her heart to Mr. Qi. Ji Yunhuan showed her no good face.

The Female Housekeeper was well aware Ji Yunhuan did not like her. After all, she acted like a measuring stick, not tolerating the slightest disrespect towards Qi Cheng from Ji Yunhuan.

But she didn’t care if Ji Yunhuan hated her because of it. Other than matters concerning Qi Cheng, she had no opinions on Ji Yunhuan’s actions.

After changing her clothes, Ji Yunhuan went downstairs. Qi Cheng was already waiting in the living room. She wore a white shirt, with a black knee-length skirt. Elegant and sophisticated, not vulgar. She held a black trench coat in her hands. It was deep autumn now; it would be cold outside in the evening.

She asked, "Can we leave now?"

Qi Cheng still remembered the baby-fat version of Ji Yunhuan from the photo in the diary. Over the years, she had slimmed down a lot.

He got up and walked over to her, placing his arms around her waist.

Feeling his hands through the fabric pressed against her skin, Ji Yunhuan felt uneasy.

Qi Cheng said, "You’re too thin. You need to eat well from now on."

He didn’t like women who were too thin; at least, he didn’t like Ji Yunhuan being too thin.

Ji Yunhuan looked at him. How should she put it?

Qi Cheng’s attitude was strong, yet it almost always showed his concern for her.

She put on her trench coat and walked out the door. The Housekeeper saw them off. When Ji Yunhuan got in the car, Qi Cheng reached out to protect her head from bumping against the top.

This man had a gentlemanly demeanor that made women swoon. The Housekeeper couldn’t understand why Ji Yunhuan had to be so disrespectful towards Qi Cheng. Of course, perhaps this was just how Sir was. The less a woman cared about him, the more interested he was in indulging her.

Regrettably, such small gestures were unnoticed by Ji Yunhuan.

When she got in the car, she paid no attention to what Qi Cheng was doing.

The dinner location was arranged by Bai Liyan. The people were also invited by him. Aside from Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan, there were Bai Liyan’s friends, some of whom were also Qi Cheng’s friends. They all grew up together. Apart from Su Molang, Bai Liyan, and Qi Cheng, there were, of course, others.

Since Ji Yunhuan delayed them, she and Qi Cheng arrived quite late.

As soon as Ji Yunhuan entered the private room with her arm linked through Qi Cheng’s, she felt countless eyes turn to her.

Bai Liyan had already mentioned Qi Cheng’s marriage before they arrived.
