Chapter 383: Chapter 383 You Fall Asleep, I’ll Leave (1)_1

"Everything in this world depends on destiny. She is destined to be with Qi Cheng, not me. What’s the use of forcing it? I want to marry her, and it has nothing to do with whether she’s carrying someone else’s child. Moreover, because I like her, I am willing to be good to her and her child."

Knowing that Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan went out, he was not unaffected either.

But, Ji Yunhuan’s heart did not belong to him, only to Qi Cheng.

What he needed to do was to protect Ji Yunhuan, to ensure she was not hurt, not to destroy her happiness with Qi Cheng.

If she really wanted to be with Qi Cheng, no amount of interference from him would matter. But he knew Ji Yunhuan would not be with Qi Cheng.

Lin Xiang was left speechless by Bai Liyan’s words, "This isn’t love at all. If you love someone, you naturally hope that in their eyes, there’s only you."

Just like how she felt about Qi Cheng...

Every additional glance Qi Cheng gave Ji Yunhuan made her heart ache.

Bai Liyan listened to what she said, "If you are looking for a man who only loves you, then give up on Qi Cheng! There’s no way he can love only you. Even without Ji Yunhuan, there would still be other women around him."

"That’s impossible," Lin Xiang said. "He’s just bewitched by Ji Yunhuan right now. Once he figures it out, he’ll like me. Brother Qi Cheng is so good..."

"Lin Xiang, you don’t understand Qi Cheng. You’ve been apart from him for too long, and the him in your memory has only been beautified by you. One day, you’ll be disappointed in him." Bai Liyan merely gave her a kind reminder.

"I will not leave him. In my heart, there is only him. I like him, I love him. No matter who he holds in his heart, I will wait for him." After saying this, Lin Xiang stood up and left the living room.

She stood at the door just in time to see Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan returning. Ji Yunhuan intended to get out of the car, and Qi Cheng extended his hand to help her. Ji Yunhuan glared at him and got out by herself instead.

Disappointment flashed in Qi Cheng’s eyes...

Lin Xiang felt a stabbing pain in her heart.

Qi Cheng never accommodated her like this, nor did he ever offer his hand when she got out of the car.

Evidently, though she was here with Qi Cheng this time, and her status was that of Qi Cheng’s fiancée, Qi Cheng still left her aside, entirely revolving around Ji Yunhuan.

She clenched her teeth, feeling both angry and sad.

Ji Yunhuan walked toward the steps.

Qi Cheng followed behind Ji Yunhuan, looking at her back, "Do you have to hate me this much?"

She despised him so openly.

Lin Xiang quickly ran over from the door, "Brother Qi Cheng, you’re finally back. I’ve been looking for you for so long."

Ji Yunhuan stopped, glanced at Qi Cheng.

Qi Cheng frowned disapprovingly, "What do you want?"

Lin Xiang tightly hugged his arm, not letting him go, and pouted, "I wanted to go out and play, but you didn’t accompany me. I felt so lonely. Why did you leave me alone?"

Qi Cheng frowned, while Ji Yunhuan ignored them and walked off. Bai Liyan waited at the door for her, and she smiled as she walked over.

Lin Xiang clung to Qi Cheng, "Grandpa just called."

The word "grandpa" made Qi Cheng, who wanted to chase after Ji Yunhuan, stop. He looked at Lin Xiang, feeling a bit cautious, "What did Grandpa say?"

"He asked what you and I were doing." Lin Xiang looked at Ji Yunhuan, who had already walked far away, filled with jealousy. But she knew the Qi Family would never accept Ji Yunhuan. Even though Qi Cheng appeared calm, Ji Yunhuan knew he was tense. She said, "I didn’t dare tell Grandpa that you were with Ji Yunhuan."

"Why didn’t you say?" Qi Cheng kept a straight face, showing no hint of his inner emotions.

He feared Grandpa, not because Grandpa would oppose them, but because he feared Grandpa might harm Ji Yunhuan.

"Aren’t I afraid Grandpa would scold you? So, I told him we were doing well." Lin Xiang tried to please him, "Qi Cheng, I know you still have feelings for Ji Yunhuan, but you said you would marry me. Are you going to regret it?"

Qi Cheng glanced at Lin Xiang, "I don’t want the matters here to reach Grandpa."

Lin Xiang was introduced by Grandpa. If she said anything, Grandpa would definitely blame Ji Yunhuan for it.

Lin Xiang nodded obediently, "Of course, I won’t say anything, as long as..."

"Good, don’t say it." Qi Cheng pulled her hand away and walked inside.

Lin Xiang’s words were cut off, not expecting Qi Cheng to leave her hanging just like that.

She wanted to say she would not tell Grandpa but hoped Qi Cheng would treat her better. But he did not give her a chance to finish.

Standing there, Lin Xiang’s face crumpled up completely.

Qi Cheng walked into the living room. Ji Yunhuan was eating fruit, talking to Bai Liyan.

Qi Cheng came over and found a place to sit down.

Ji Yunhuan did not look at him, just kept her head down, counting the grapes on her plate.

"Are you feeling unwell today?" Bai Liyan asked beside her.

"No, I will take care of my health."

"The doctor said your health isn’t good. It’s best not to move around too much." At least until the baby was stable after three months.

Ji Yunhuan nodded at Bai Liyan’s words, "I will be careful."

Qi Cheng interjected, "I will watch over her. She won’t have any problems."

Ji Yunhuan and Bai Liyan both rolled their eyes at him, saying nothing.

The atmosphere immediately became awkward.

Qi Cheng felt unprecedented embarrassment.

He looked at the two, not saying anything.

Just watched Ji Yunhuan from the side.

He regretted trying to get rid of her child that day.

If not for that, Ji Yunhuan would not be as hostile toward him as she was now.

He could only sigh inwardly.

That night, when Ji Yunhuan came out after her bath, she found someone sitting on the couch. Qi Cheng was sitting in her room.

"How did you get in?"

"I have my ways." He glanced at her. After just taking a bath, Ji Yunhuan’s skin looked soft and delicate.

Just looking at her was a pleasure.

Ji Yunhuan was uncomfortable under his gaze, "Qi Cheng, get out."

"Is ’get out’ the only word you know?" His tone was very displeased, "If it were Bai Liyan here, you wouldn’t tell him to get out!"

"He’s different from you."

"How different? Different in your heart?" He indeed was different, but Qi Cheng was the one she should be close to.

Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng helplessly, "He makes me feel at ease."

The subtext was that Qi Cheng didn’t.

Qi Cheng raised his eyebrows, "How do I not make you feel at ease? I’m not going to touch you; you’re not even three months in. Do you think I would do anything to you?" No matter how much he wanted her, he would not do such a thing now.

With only the two of them in the room, and the door closed, Ji Yunhuan guessed Qi Cheng had the servants open it and warned, "Don’t come into my room without permission again."
