Chapter 404: Chapter 404 Qi Mu’s Opposition_1

"Yunhuan." The car sped along, the scenery outside quickly retreating. Qi Cheng held her tightly. "But we can’t keep going on like this."

Living a life like thieves every day.

"Qi Cheng." To comfort him, Ji Yunhuan reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, her gaze becoming extraordinarily gentle. "At least for now, before the child is born, I don’t want anything to happen. I just want to live a good life with you. I’m not asking for much, just having you by my side is enough. So, I’m very satisfied with our current life; there’s no need to change."

From her eyes, it was clear that she truly did not care whether she could become his wife in the future or not.

But the less she cared about status and everything else, the more he wanted to give it to her.

She didn’t want it, but that didn’t mean he didn’t want to give it.

Besides, he couldn’t stand the thought of any woman other than her becoming his wife.

Furthermore, in this world, there should be no woman who wouldn’t want to be with the person she loves openly and honestly.

So, rather than saying he wanted to give Ji Yunhuan a status, it was more accurate to say that Qi Cheng himself wanted it.

After staying at Ji Yunhuan’s place for a few days, Qi Cheng finally returned home at his mother’s urging.

Early in the morning, as soon as he walked in, his mother started grumbling, "You still remember to come back? I thought you’d stay outside forever and abandon this family."

Qi Cheng sat silently on the sofa.

When he left, Ji Yunhuan was still asleep. He planned to return before she woke up.

Since his mother liked to grumble, he would let her continue until she wasn’t angry anymore.

Seeing Qi Cheng remain silent, his mother also lost interest in complaining. She sat down and looked at him. "You’ve been with Ji Yunhuan every day these past few days?"

"..."

Qi Cheng’s silence meant he acknowledged it.

She sighed, "Is it necessary? Tell me, what’s so good about her that you can’t forget her after all these years? If it’s just because she’s pretty, there are plenty of beautiful women in this world. If it’s her personality, you won’t find anyone worse than her."

Qi Cheng looked at his mother and finally spoke, "Liking Yunhuan is my business. Didn’t you used to say that as long as I liked someone, you wouldn’t interfere, no matter who it was?"

"That was in the past. You married Ji Yunhuan without even telling us, brought her into our home. I didn’t embarrass her and treated her as my daughter-in-law, but the fact proved she’s not suitable for you. Ji Yunhuan is not a good woman! In her eyes, you don’t even exist." Qi Cheng’s mother wasn’t unreasonable.

But she had exhausted all her tolerance for Ji Yunhuan.

If, when they divorced, Ji Yunhuan hadn’t tormented Qi Cheng to the point of wishing he was dead, she wouldn’t be this angry.

It was for Qi Cheng that she accepted the woman by his side.

But also for Qi Cheng, she could no longer accept Ji Yunhuan.

Whatever his mother said, Qi Cheng couldn’t be bothered to respond.

His mother earnestly advised, "Just listen to your mom and stop being with her. Look at how good Lin Xiang is; she listens to everything you say. If you don’t like Lin Xiang, you can choose someone else. Even Xie Xingwei is better than Ji Yunhuan."

"Yunhuan is pregnant, and the child is mine." Qi Cheng said, "So no matter what you say, I won’t leave her now."

"Pregnant?" His mother was stunned, not expecting this. "Are you serious?"

"I have no reason to lie to you. If I leave her now, as a mother, would that make you happy?" Qi Cheng knew his mother cared about the child. So, he hoped she could consider accepting Ji Yunhuan for the child’s sake.

However, his mother’s dislike for Ji Yunhuan was deeply rooted. She paused for a moment, but then quickly remembered Ji Yunhuan’s past rudeness towards her and calmed down, "Are you sure the child is yours? She was with Bai Liyan before. The child might be his. ...Besides, I heard that the child is a Bai family member."

"Mom," Qi Cheng said, "it’s because you always want us to separate that she doesn’t want to admit the child is mine. If Bai Liyan hadn’t stopped her at the estate, the child would be gone. Given all this, can’t you just support me?"

Qi Cheng’s eyes were filled with helplessness.

His mother fell silent at his words. Qi Cheng was clearly lovesick, and she didn’t know how to advise him.

"Brother Qi Cheng, you’re back!" Lin Xiang, who had just woken up, came downstairs and walked over joyfully when she saw him.

It seemed she always appeared wherever he went.

"I have something to do." Seeing this woman, Qi Cheng felt repulsed. He stood up, told his mother, and left quickly.

Lin Xiang ran after him, watching helplessly as his car left without any hesitation.

She sat back on the sofa, looking extremely aggrieved.

His mother knew Lin Xiang was devoted to Qi Cheng but felt helpless.

Qi Cheng clearly didn’t care for Lin Xiang, only having eyes for Ji Yunhuan.

When Ji Yunhuan wasn’t pregnant, he couldn’t forget her. Now that there was a child, it was even more so.

Thinking about Qi Cheng going back to Ji Yunhuan, his mother worried about how his grandfather would react.

Qi Cheng was her youngest son, and she genuinely cared for him. Everything she did was in the hope he could live well.

Ji Yunhuan lay in the bedroom’s large bed. Hearing the door open, she woke from her dreams.

Opening her eyes, she saw Qi Cheng walking in, impeccably dressed.

"Where did you go?" She checked the time, noticing it was still early. Usually, by this time, he was still by her side.

Qi Cheng didn’t respond, walking over. Just a brief separation made him miss her terribly. He bent down and kissed her deeply.

Ji Yunhuan wrapped her arms around him.

Feeling his breathing gradually calming, she asked, "Tell me honestly, where did you go this early in the morning?"

"Nowhere, just went home." Qi Cheng looked at her, saying, "Also brought some work materials."

He pushed aside all social engagements, planning to work at her place, wanting to stay by her side.

Lying on the pillow, Ji Yunhuan knew Qi Cheng wouldn’t lie to her. "Did you see your mother?"

"Hmm."

"She must have scolded you again." She propped up the pillow to look at him more comfortably.

Qi Cheng smiled, "Do I look like I’ve been scolded?"

"That’s not it." Ji Yunhuan stared into his eyes, "I’m guessing. Your mom urges you to go back daily. If you rarely go back, wouldn’t she take the chance to scold you properly? She must have said you shouldn’t be with me again!"
