Chapter 387: Chapter 387 You Fall Asleep, I’ll Leave (5)_1

Seeing that she didn’t have the same impatient look on her face as she usually did, Qi Cheng smiled slightly, locked the door, and lay down on the bed.

He lay beside her, feeling content inside. He wasn’t in a hurry to speak and just reached out an arm to hold her.

After a while, he asked, "Are you tired?"

The daily morning sickness tormented her so much it nearly killed her.

Just carrying the child made her utterly exhausted.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t respond, her eyes closed, almost drifting off to sleep.

Getting no reply from her, Qi Cheng also stayed silent. She had been so cold to him lately that he had gotten used to it.

The phone rang in the quiet room. Qi Cheng fished his phone out of his pocket, too lazy to get out of bed, and answered it directly.

"Qi Cheng." It was his mother’s voice.

Hearing this, he temporarily released Ji Yunhuan, got off the bed, and walked into the bathroom. Ji Yunhuan heard him close the bathroom door.

Was he afraid she would hear it?

"Mom, what made you think of me this late at night?" Qi Cheng asked, leaning against the sink.

He hadn’t seen his mother for the past few days.

"You sent Lin Xiang back. Why didn’t you come back yourself?" Qi’s mother’s voice was very serious. It seemed she was looking for trouble.

But Qi Cheng had expected this since he sent Lin Xiang away, so he was very calm. "I still have things to do."

"For what? With Ji Yunhuan?" Once Lin Xiang returned, she naturally said everything.

Qi Cheng had abandoned Lin Xiang for Ji Yunhuan. She had no reason to cover for him.

"Lin Xiang told you?" Qi Cheng knew, being spoiled, there was no way Lin Xiang would lie for him.

"You didn’t expect her to say it? You took your fiancée out, then sent her back alone, getting entangled with another woman. That Ji Yunhuan is already with Bai Liyan, and you still can’t forget about her? Have you lost your mind?" Qi’s mother was furiously angry.

Qi Cheng had been obedient from childhood, rarely causing her much trouble, but ever since meeting Ji Yunhuan, he had become more and more outrageous.

Qi Cheng sighed helplessly. "I’ll talk to you about this when I get back."

"When do you plan to come back?"

"In a while."

"You come back tomorrow. Qi Cheng, if you keep this up, I’ll tell your grandfather to keep you in check!" Qi’s mother was really out of options.

She couldn’t beat or scold this son.

The only thing she could do was bring out his grandfather to scare him.

"Mom, forcing me to be with Lin Xiang is pointless. You know I won’t treat her well even if we get married because I don’t love her. Why bother?" Qi Cheng sighed. He didn’t want to upset his mom either.

"I don’t care! You decided to marry Lin Xiang by yourself; no one forced you to. Now you regret it? Are you serious?" Qi’s mother’s tone was laced with unconcealed anger, evident she really disliked Ji Yunhuan. "Moreover, even if you don’t like Lin Xiang, anyone else would be fine, but absolutely not Ji Yunhuan. Nobody in our family would agree to you being with her. Don’t argue with me! Your brother’s character is much stronger than yours. He has been with Ye Suya for so many years and never dared bring her home. You think you could do better than him?"

"Forget it, I’m hanging up. I’m tired of arguing with you." Seeing it was pointless, Qi Cheng didn’t waste any more time.

Leaning against the sink, he rubbed his temples helplessly.

Although he had anticipated these problems long ago, he still had a splitting headache.

His family would definitely force him to marry another woman.

But besides Ji Yunhuan, he didn’t want anyone else.

In this lifetime, he only wanted this one woman.

However, with his grandfather’s personality, he couldn’t think of any way to bring Ji Yunhuan into the Qi Family’s home.

After all, it was he and Ji Yunhuan who wanted to separate back then.

For this reason, he even challenged his grandfather’s bottom line.

Lying on the bed, Ji Yunhuan felt Qi Cheng return—Qi Cheng didn’t speak to her, lying down beside her, holding her with one hand and gently stroking her hair with the other like before.

Ji Yunhuan turned over, directly into his arms. He looked at her in surprised delight as she backed away a bit and looked at him. "Was it a call from home?"

"Hmm." Since she had guessed, he didn’t hide it.

"It must have been Lin Xiang who told them I was here after she went back?"

"You’re very smart." Nothing could be hidden from her.

"It’s not that I’m smart; I just know how your family would react. Lin Xiang isn’t the type to swallow her anger." Being forcibly sent back by Qi Cheng, there was no way she would keep quiet and cover for him.

Having expected all this, Ji Yunhuan appeared very indifferent.

Qi Cheng gazed at her silently.

Ji Yunhuan asked, "They’re surely making you go back, aren’t they?"

"No," Qi Cheng denied.

"If you say no, it means yes. It must be!"

Qi Cheng was speechless. "What if I say yes then?"

"Then it must be absolutely yes." Ji Yunhuan confidently looked at him.

Qi Cheng couldn’t help but laugh. "I can’t win against you."

Ji Yunhuan said, "Qi Cheng, go back! Bai Liyan and I will be fine here."

Ji Yunhuan’s words upset Qi Cheng greatly. "Do you think I can just leave you and the child here on your own?"

"You should have your own life, not wasting your time on someone like me." She wished him well. She didn’t want him to be unhappy with his family because of her.

The Qi Family had always been very united.

She didn’t want to see Qi Cheng become lonely and desolate like her.

"In your eyes, what kind of woman do you think you are?" Qi Cheng asked very seriously.

Ji Yunhuan replied, "No matter how hard I try, I’m still the woman who will never walk with you to the end. I have already left the Qi Family. It’s impossible for me to become your wife again. You should understand our current situation better than me! One day, you’ll get married and grow old with another woman. The same goes for me."

He stubbornly held her in his arms. "No matter what day it is, I won’t let you be with any other man."

"...Qi Cheng."

"I’ve let go many times before, but it has been proven that I can let go of any woman, but not you. Even if they don’t allow me to be with you, I will always be by your side. The person meant to be with you is me; no one can decide that for me." He looked at her firmly, his palm gently stroking her cheek. "Do you understand?"

With him so stubborn, Ji Yunhuan felt resigned. She sighed, "Do as you see fit."

If he didn’t want to go back, so be it. She had already warned him.

After all, she couldn’t tie Qi Cheng up and drag him back to City A like he did to Lin Xiang.

Fortunately, they were far from City A, so she wouldn’t have to see the disdainful faces of the Qi Family.
