Chapter 386: Chapter 386 You Fall Asleep, I’ll Leave (4)_1

Ji Yunhuan watched as his car drove away. She realized that the Bai Liyan now seemed quite different from the man who had confessed his love to her before.

After returning to the living room, Ji Yunhuan did not look at Qi Cheng. She went upstairs, back to her own room.

Standing by the window, she held a paintbrush, painting the scenery outside.

In this estate, she felt like an idle person, with nothing much to do.

Halfway through her painting, there was a knock on the door, and Qi Cheng’s voice, "I’m coming in."

She ignored him, but he used a key to open the door himself.

He had a good relationship with Butler Liu, so he could get the key to this room.

Ji Yunhuan glared at him angrily, "Who let you in?"

Qi Cheng looked innocent, "You didn’t respond. I was afraid something might have happened to you in here, so I came in to check."

He walked over and glanced at the easel, "So you were painting. If I had known, I wouldn’t have disturbed you."

He pretended, and Ji Yunhuan found it absurd.

Even if he knew she was painting, he would still come in.

She didn’t expose him.

She put away the easel.

"What are you painting?" he asked curiously.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t forget how Qi Cheng had once mocked her painting talent, "Not for you to see."

"You’re not painting me, so what’s the problem?"

"Who would paint you?" Ji Yunhuan walked over and sat down on the couch.

Qi Cheng sat next to her, "Every time you see me, you have a cold expression. Don’t you get tired?"

Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng, inexplicably recalling the things he said to her on the tour bus yesterday. She stiffened her face, turned to the side, and avoided looking at him, "Do you expect me to be warm to you?"

"When you’re with Bai Liyan, you’re always smiling at him. I’m very jealous."

Ji Yunhuan said, "He’s my fiancé. Of course, I would smile at him."

"The child is mine. You still want to marry him? Even if he’s willing to marry you, the Bai Family won’t agree."

Qi Cheng suddenly mentioned Bai Liyan’s family, and Ji Yunhuan’s heart tightened. Auntie always thought the child was Qi Cheng’s. Now that Qi Cheng knew, it couldn’t be kept secret. If Auntie found out, she would be very heartbroken!

This matter made Ji Yunhuan’s heart feel chaotic.

At lunch, it was just Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng sat beside Ji Yunhuan, serving her food. Without Bai Liyan’s interruption, he felt that his relationship with her was much closer, "Eat more."

Ji Yunhuan looked at him, seeing his tenderness and thoughtfulness, and was too lazy to refuse.

Just treat it as...

Just treat it as a dream before returning to City A.

She just wanted to temporarily indulge in this moment and not think about anything.

Seeing her being so obedient, Qi Cheng smiled at her.

Ji Yunhuan did not miss the smile on his face, "Why are you smiling?"

"I just sent Lin Xiang away, and you’re not angry anymore."

Ji Yunhuan paused at his words. He was right. If Lin Xiang were still here, she wouldn’t have paid attention to him.

She glanced at Qi Cheng and intentionally said, "How did you tell that I’m not angry?"

"Eat." He picked up food with his chopsticks and put it in her bowl.

Ji Yunhuan looked at him, "Are you happy?"

"Being alone with you, of course, I am happy." He said matter-of-factly.

Ji Yunhuan felt very uncomfortable, "You clearly know that Bai Liyan and I have been..."

She didn’t finish her sentence before he kissed her.

Ji Yunhuan stared at him speechlessly. After the kiss, he let her go and said, "I told you yesterday, if you mention anything to upset me again, I’ll punish you."

There was no better way.

Sure enough, hearing his words, Ji Yunhuan dared not say anything more.

-

Behind the estate, there was a small hillside. By dusk, Ji Yunhuan climbed to the top. Standing on the hillside, she could see the sun slowly setting.

This kind of view was absolutely something that the bustling city couldn’t offer.

Ji Yunhuan found a clean patch of grass and sat down. After a while, Qi Cheng also came over to her, "Why do you disappear as soon as I blink?"

If it weren’t for asking the people around the estate, he wouldn’t have known she had come here.

Ji Yunhuan gave him a glance, thinking, I didn’t tell you, yet you still showed up!

"I don’t want to see you."

Qi Cheng didn’t mind and stayed to admire the setting sun with her.

"Yunhuan, it would be great if we could stay here and never go back!"

"... ..." This time, Ji Yunhuan didn’t argue with Qi Cheng.

At this moment, the time seemed to overlap with the days at the seaside.

Leaving City A and coming to an unfamiliar place really did make the heart much lighter.

No one would come to tell her that she shouldn’t be with Qi Cheng.

No one would constantly trouble them.

Seeing her not speaking, Qi Cheng reached out his hand and held hers. As long as he was by her side, he always wanted to hold her hand, kiss her, or pull her into his arms.

His heart was all on her, and these were just the most straightforward ways to express it.

Ji Yunhuan looked at the hand Qi Cheng was holding tightly. His hand was warm. Holding hers, it felt as if the whole world had darkened.

The two only came down from the hillside after the sun had completely set. Qi Cheng held her hand and walked in front, reminding her, "Be careful. Don’t slip."

No sooner had he spoken than she did slip.

She was wearing sandals, and the slope was a bit steep. Fortunately, Qi Cheng quickly held her tight.

Ji Yunhuan ended up in his arms.

The sky had already darkened. His eyebrows and eyes were very close. Ji Yunhuan could feel her heart beating strongly with his breathing rhythm.

Her dark eyes stared at him, not escaping in time.

Qi Cheng held her in his arms and, faced with her silent invitation, gently kissed her lips...

That night, Bai Liyan did not return.

After dinner, Ji Yunhuan sat on the edge of the bed, with a water basin in front of her. She put her feet in the basin, letting the hot water soothe away the day’s fatigue.

Qi Cheng pushed the door open and came in. Seeing her washing her feet, he squatted in front of her and grabbed one of her feet.

"Hey," she protested.

"Let me help you," he said in a calm voice.

Ji Yunhuan looked at him squatting in front of her like a loyal knight. She inexplicably recalled the kiss before coming down the hillside. Her heart started to race.

Feeling guilty, she turned her gaze away from him, letting him wash her feet.

Who could have thought that the noble man would do such a humble thing for her?

His hands were strong but gentle. This feeling made her very strange.

After washing her tender white feet, Qi Cheng took the water to the bathroom to pour it out and cleaned up before returning. By then, Ji Yunhuan had already lifted the covers and climbed into bed.

She had already taken a shower when she first came back. Having had dinner, she didn’t need another one. Her feet were just tired, and she wanted to soak them.
