Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Qi Cheng’s Protectiveness (4)_1

The second sister-in-law brought a bowl of summer cooling soup to Qi’s mother, and then saw Qi Cheng walking out. She stood aside, watching Qi Cheng walk away seriously, then entered Qi’s mother’s room.

Qi’s mother couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

"What’s wrong?" the second sister-in-law put the soup down and sat down to ask.

"I’ve never seen him so concerned about a woman," Qi’s mother smiled bitterly. "What’s so good about Ji Yunhuan? It’s been so long, but Qi Cheng still can’t forget her."

Although Qi Cheng had already decided to marry Lin Xiang, Qi’s mother was really not happy seeing how much he cared about Ji Yunhuan.

She didn’t want to force Qi Cheng to marry a woman he didn’t like, but he just happened to like Ji Yunhuan.

The second sister-in-law said, "What’s the big deal? The more unobtainable something is, the more it’s remembered. I have to admit, Ji Yunhuan is very clever. She knew Qi Cheng likes new things and gets tired of them quickly, so she left just at the right time. If she hadn’t left then, Qi Cheng might have already been tired of her by now."

Qi’s mother listened to her and said nothing more. She could only say, this was fate!

Yangyang walked in from outside and saw the second sister-in-law, smiling, "Mommy."

His little face smiled adorably.

The second sister-in-law reached out to hug him, feeling that with Yangyang, the whole world was complete.

Because Ji Yunhuan had been suffering from morning sickness recently, Bai Liyan made her some light and tasty dishes after returning home. She ate some and didn’t mention the matter with Qi’s mother anymore.

Anyway, she would not deal with the Qi Family in the future. If she had offended them, so be it.

Bai Liyan sat opposite Ji Yunhuan, chatting with her, when his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "What’s wrong?"

"It’s Qi Cheng calling," Bai Liyan said.

Ji Yunhuan watched Bai Liyan press the answer button.

On the phone, Qi Cheng’s voice was very serious, "Are you with Ji Yunhuan?"

"Yes," Bai Liyan glanced at Ji Yunhuan before replying.

He didn’t expect Qi Cheng to call and ask this.

For a long time, Qi Cheng didn’t want to talk to him.

"You met my mother?" Qi Cheng had just left the Qi household and was still sitting in the car.

"Did Auntie tell you?"

"Tell Ji Yunhuan to be careful. Even if she is your fiancée, she has no right to treat my mother like that," Qi Cheng’s voice was very stern, his attitude completely different from how he defended Ji Yunhuan in front of his mother.

Bai Liyan was stunned and a bit angry, "Qi Cheng, you’re just hearing one side of the story; it’s unfair to Yunhuan."

"Fair?" Qi Cheng laughed coldly, "You explain it to her yourself."

Without further explanation, he hung up the phone directly.

Bai Liyan frowned.

Ji Yunhuan asked curiously, "What did he call about?"

"He knows about today’s events."

"So, he called just to scold me?" Ji Yunhuan inferred from their conversation.

"Not exactly scold."

"Close enough," Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but laugh a bit, "Forget it, it doesn’t matter. He can think whatever he wants."

-

The weather in City A was getting hotter day by day, so Ji Yunhuan followed Bai Liyan to escape the heat.

Even Auntie found it too hot and left this place shrouded in high temperatures the day before they left.

The car drove down the highway in the suburbs, with straight tree trunks on both sides of the road. Ji Yunhuan and Bai Liyan had just gotten off the plane, and a car had come to pick them up.

The car windows were open, and the wind blew in from outside. Free from City A’s heat, it was refreshingly cool here.

Bai Liyan said, "Do you like it here? It’s not hot at all."

Ji Yunhuan nodded, "Yes."

This trip was Bai Liyan’s idea. She had nothing else to do, so she followed him.

Bai Liyan explained, "This is a friend’s estate. We can stay here for a while until summer is over before returning to City A."

"Is that okay? Having you always accompany me," Ji Yunhuan felt a bit guilty.

Bai Liyan smiled at her, "Why are you being so polite with me?"

"I just don’t want to trouble you."

"I brought you here because I wanted to come myself," Bai Liyan looked at her helplessly, "You’re always so polite to me. I’m almost getting upset."

The car soon drove into the estate and stopped in front of the mansion.

A neatly dressed middle-aged man with some staff members greeted them at the door.

Bai Liyan got out of the car. The middle-aged man said, "Mr. Bai."

Bai Liyan nodded and said to Ji Yunhuan, "Get out."

Ji Yunhuan got out of the car and stood beside Bai Liyan. Bai Liyan pointed to the middle-aged man and introduced, "This is Butler Liu, who manages the estate."

"Hello," Ji Yunhuan nodded politely.

Butler Liu, almost breathless from her beauty, asked curiously, "And this is...?"

"Her name is Yunhuan, she’s my sister," Bai Liyan introduced naturally.

Ji Yunhuan felt relieved hearing him call her sister.

Butler Liu said, "I’ve heard that Mr. Bai would come. The rooms are ready. I’ll take you there now."

Their luggage remained in the car and would be delivered to their rooms by dedicated staff.

Ji Yunhuan followed behind Bai Liyan into the mansion, with Butler Liu leading and conversing with Bai Liyan.

The decorations here were all in the 16th-century European style.

Like a fairy tale castle.

The stairs were spiral. Ji Yunhuan followed behind Bai Liyan, who occasionally glanced back at her.

Finally, he simply reached out his hand, "Come, let me hold you."

Ji Yunhuan looked at him. His trusting eyes made her extend her hand to him.

She had been feeling unwell due to her pregnancy and today’s flight made her dizzy. He knew she was not feeling well and offered to help her.

Their rooms were on the second floor, and the corridor walls were adorned with world-famous paintings.

Ji Yunhuan admired the paintings as she walked behind Bai Liyan towards their rooms.

The estate’s servants opened the room doors for them. Butler Liu said, "These are Mr. Bai and Ms. Ji’s rooms. I will have the luggage delivered shortly. Feel free to ask the servants for anything you need."

"Alright."

Ji Yunhuan returned to her room and directly sat down on the cushioned chair.

The air in this place was excellent. Being here gave a refreshing feeling, and the room’s window was closed. Bai Liyan came in and opened the window for her.

Wind blew in from outside. Bai Liyan, standing at the window, said to Ji Yunhuan, "Yunhuan, come over."

Hearing him call, Ji Yunhuan quickly stood up and walked to the window.

"Look," Bai Liyan pointed not far away, and following his direction, Ji Yunhuan saw an endless purple field.

Ji Yunhuan was a bit dazed, "It’s lavender."

Since she couldn’t see an end to it, she didn’t know how wide the field was, but it looked incredibly beautiful.
