Chapter 384: Chapter 384 You Fall Asleep, I’ll Leave (2)_1

"Are you planning to sleep?" He avoided answering her question.

Ji Yunhuan looked at him solemnly. "Did you hear me?"

"What?"

"I told you not to come into my room anymore," she repeatedly warned him. "I am a normal person. I have my own privacy."

"Privacy?" Qi Cheng glanced at her. "Don’t you think this request is unreasonable?"

"Unreasonable?"

"The child is mine. You are mine. And you want privacy from me?" Qi Cheng walked towards her, looking displeased. Standing before her, his tall figure made her feel a sense of oppression.

Qi Cheng forcefully declared, "If Bai Liyan can enter and leave your room as he pleases, then so can I!"

He had seen Bai Liyan stay in her room for a long time tonight. He wanted to go in, but didn’t want to be humiliated. So, he waited outside, smoking several cigarettes before finally seeing Bai Liyan leave.

Ji Yunhuan had no idea how agonizing it was for him to wait outside. Although he knew she was pregnant and couldn’t do anything intimate with Bai Liyan, just the thought of them being together was like having his heart fried in oil.

Ji Yunhuan found it really hard to reason with Qi Cheng. She was still brewing a rebuttal when he had already pulled her into his arms. "You’ve been ignoring me since you came back?"

"When have I ever paid attention to you?" She rolled her eyes at him.

"But I feel like you’re very unhappy." He looked into her eyes, recalling how Lin Xiang came to find him just as they returned. Remembering the look in Ji Yunhuan’s eyes, he suddenly realized, "Are you jealous of Lin Xiang?"

"Jealous?" Ji Yunhuan found it a bit funny. "Which eye of yours saw me being jealous?"

"But I feel like you’ve become much colder."

"I don’t know what you’re talking about." She turned her face away.

Remembering how Lin Xiang had intimately held his arm, she indeed felt uncomfortable.

It wasn’t just this time. Ever since she arrived at the estate, she hadn’t felt comfortable!

Lin Xiang was Qi Cheng’s fiancée. She was merely Qi Cheng’s ex-wife. And now she was carrying Qi Cheng’s child. This complicated role made her feel uneasy.

However, having decided to give birth to this child, she didn’t want to make any more fuss.

Qi Cheng encircled her in his arms, whispering softly in her ear, "I’ve already talked to Lin Xiang. I’ll send her back tomorrow."

"And what about you? Aren’t you going back?" Ji Yunhuan curiously looked at him.

She couldn’t wait for Qi Cheng and Lin Xiang to both leave here quickly.

Qi Cheng placed his hand on her lower abdomen. "My child is here. How could I leave? Of course, I’ll stay and accompany you."

He looked at her expectantly. "I’ve already driven Lin Xiang away for you. What about you? When will you drive your Bai Liyan away?"

"I came with him. If he leaves, I’ll leave with him." Ji Yunhuan didn’t mince words. "And, what’s this talk about driving Lin Xiang away for me? Don’t make it sound like I deliberately broke you two up. Qi Cheng, with what you’re doing, your family will probably blame everything on me. I don’t want to take the fall for you!"

"Don’t worry. This is my own decision. No one can blame you for it." He looked at her intently. "I just want you to stay by my side without any worries."

"Do you think I can not worry? If you drive Lin Xiang away and your family finds out, won’t they tear me apart?"

"You have my child. They wouldn’t dare," he said confidently.

Ji Yunhuan felt a wave of helplessness. "Qi Cheng, this child has nothing to do with you or the Qi Family. Can you stop pushing me?"

"..." Qi Cheng didn’t think he was pushing her. He just wanted to protect her. But seeing the pain in her eyes, he felt a twinge of guilt.

He looked at her tenderly, remaining silent. Ji Yunhuan continued.

"The Qi Family is very powerful. They can control everything. I’m just a small woman. I can’t fight them. But I want this child. I’ve already lost Yangyang. There’s no way to keep Yangyang by my side. You wouldn’t..." Ji Yunhuan’s voice started to choke, "You wouldn’t take this child away from me once it’s born, would you?"

"No one can take the child away as long as I’m here!" Qi Cheng said. "The child is yours if you want it. Yunhuan..." He gently held her face and slowly kissed her.

She didn’t know if she could trust his promise. Given Qi Cheng’s own abilities, he couldn’t defy his grandfather.

She struggled a bit...

But his arms were still around her, and she couldn’t escape!

He kissed her, just kissed her, without any other intentions. He just wanted to leave his mark on her.

Ji Yunhuan felt that although she and Qi Cheng hadn’t been apart for long, it felt like a lifetime.

So much had happened along the way.

Having finally kissed the person he loved, Qi Cheng lifted Ji Yunhuan and laid her on the bed. "I know you’re tired. You can sleep now."

"Get out," she still didn’t want him to stay in her room overnight.

"I’ll leave once you fall asleep."

"Liar." She would be foolish to believe him.

"Then don’t sleep. I’ll just stay here with you all night." He wasn’t in a hurry. He lay beside her and looked at her.

Ji Yunhuan felt he was really clingy.

No matter how cold she was to him these days, he always shamelessly stuck around.

Ever since he found out the child was his, he just stayed by her side, never leaving!

She turned her back to Qi Cheng. His chest pressed against her back, and he encircled her in his arms. He tenderly said, "It’s been so long since I lay beside you like this."

Ji Yunhuan remained silent.

Arguing with him was pointless. The more she tried to push him away, the more he stuck around.

So, she might as well ignore him!

He inhaled her scent. "You smell good."

Ji Yunhuan was speechless. She resisted the urge to push him away and continued to play dead.

Before long, she fell asleep.

Qi Cheng noticed she was asleep. Reluctantly, he got up, opened the door, and left. Before leaving, he locked the door for her.

Ji Yunhuan woke up at dawn and found that Qi Cheng was not beside her.

Moreover, there was no trace of him in the entire room.

It seemed he had not slept here.

Although he had said last night that he would leave once she fell asleep, she hadn’t believed him, but it turned out he kept his word sometimes.

Ji Yunhuan got up in her pajamas, walked to the window, and pulled open the curtains. The morning sunlight fell on her, adding a touch of laziness. She stretched, just in time to see Lin Xiang and Qi Cheng getting into the car downstairs.

She had only heard Qi Cheng say he would send Lin Xiang away. She hadn’t expected him to leave as well?
