Chapter 422: Chapter 422 Where Did You Go Last Night_1

Qi Cheng heard this and looked at Ji Yunhuan. "Did you know I got engaged to Lin Xiang?"

"You’ve always hidden it from me." She was actually very unhappy. It made her feel like a fool. The whole Qi Family laughed at her behind her back.

Ji Yunhuan turned her gaze away sadly and didn’t look at him.

Qi Cheng lowered his head and kissed her on the top of her head. "It’s just an engagement, not a marriage. Are you jealous?"

She denied it with guilt. "Why would I be jealous? Anyway, I know you will be with her sooner or later. Even if you get married, I don’t care."

It would just hurt.

What did heartache matter?

She was already numb to it.

Qi Cheng held her hand tightly. "You really don’t care?"

"I don’t care."

"Then I’ll marry her," he said matter-of-factly.

Ji Yunhuan felt a weight in her heart and looked at him angrily.

Even if he wanted to marry Lin Xiang, there was no need to rush, right?

There were still a few months before the baby would be born.

By then, if he married Lin Xiang, how would she face all this?

"Didn’t you say you didn’t care?" Qi Cheng laughed. "Looks like you do care."

Ji Yunhuan realized Qi Cheng was teasing her and got very angry. "Just go marry her, see if I care."

"You’re going to be a mother. Why are you so angry?" Qi Cheng said. "I’m not really going to marry her."

"Everyone knows you’re engaged to her." Her voice still carried anger.

Qi Cheng smiled helplessly. "I thought you wouldn’t mind."

"Not mind? Why shouldn’t I mind? I do mind! Even if you want to be with her, at least... at least wait until the baby is born. I don’t expect to be with you forever, but before the baby is born, I don’t want you to belong to someone else."

Otherwise, why would she stay by his side?

She might as well leave early.

"Trust me, I won’t marry Lin Xiang." Qi Cheng held Ji Yunhuan’s hand and kissed it lightly.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t believe him. But even if he was lying, she took it as truth, assuming he really wouldn’t marry.

She needed him to comfort her too much.

Even if it was a lie, it gave her the strength to hold on.

Qi Cheng said, "I heard from Aunt Liu that you argued with the second sister-in-law last night?"

At this, Ji Yunhuan felt a twinge in her heart. She stayed silent, not uttering a word.

Qi Cheng looked at her with deep sympathy. "Although I haven’t called you these past days, I’ve always been keeping an eye on your matters. Aunt Liu tells me everything. So, don’t believe what others say. Just remember, in my heart, no one can replace you."

Ji Yunhuan looked at him. "Really?"

"Yes." Qi Cheng nodded. He said to Ji Yunhuan, "I put you here. How could I ignore you?"

Ji Yunhuan said, "Then you should at least call me."

"I see you focus on Yangyang every day. Aren’t I afraid you wouldn’t pay attention to me? Besides, I’ve been really busy." He hugged her tightly. "That’s why I grabbed time to come to see you."

"Liar, you’re just busy being with Lin Xiang every day."

"I’ll take you out in a couple of days," Qi Cheng said.

She looked at him. "But your mother won’t agree. Will you fall out with her then?"

She didn’t want to see such a scene.

"Don’t worry about her. I have a way to take you out." Qi Cheng said, letting her lean against him. "Let’s sleep."

Ji Yunhuan leaned beside him and closed her eyes. Qi Cheng also turned off the light.

After a while, his voice came again. "Did Bai Liyan come to see you?"

Ji Yunhuan stiffened. "So that’s why you came to see me?"

"Sort of... Ouch!" He hadn’t finished speaking when she pinched him.

Ji Yunhuan’s tone was harsh. "You should hurt. When I’m bullied here, you don’t care. No matter how much I hope you come back, you don’t come. Only when Bai Liyan comes to see me, do you appear. You don’t love me at all; it’s just possessiveness."

"If you think of me like this, I’m very hurt," he said disappointedly.

"Can you be more hurt than me?" Ji Yunhuan furiously reached out and pinched him again.

"Do you really want to pinch me to death?" He bit her ear. "Heartless woman."

"If Bai Liyan didn’t come to see me, you definitely wouldn’t have come. Every day with Lin Xiang, you’ve already forgotten me."

Qi Cheng said, "I’m very wronged. If I knew you’d think of me this way after coming to see you, I wouldn’t have come."

"..."

Ji Yunhuan stayed silent, ignoring him.

Qi Cheng’s hand slipped inside her clothes; because of the pregnancy, they had grown a bit and had a slight pain.

Pregnancy was a very difficult thing. For her, there was no comfort anywhere, with so many troublesome things every day.

Qi Cheng woke up early in the morning. He said to Ji Yunhuan, "I have to go."

"..." She heard his voice but didn’t respond. Even if he left, she couldn’t stop him.

Qi Cheng said, "I’ll take you out in a couple of days. Just hold on for two days."

He really didn’t want to leave, wishing to stay with her all the time, without a moment apart. But there was no other way. This was at the Qi Residence. He had to consider Qi mother’s feelings.

After all, his mother had raised him for so many years. He didn’t want to fall out with her.

His kiss wandered over her face, reluctant to let her go after a long while, then he left the room.

When Qi Cheng closed the door, he bumped into the second sister-in-law. Seeing Qi Cheng coming out of Ji Yunhuan’s room, she went directly downstairs.

It was still early, and most people hadn’t gotten up yet.

Qi Cheng left the Qi Residence immediately after coming out of Ji Yunhuan’s room.

Qi mother had just woken up and saw the second sister-in-law. "Why are you up so early today?"

"Couldn’t sleep." Yangyang had been talking to her about recent events last night. It was evident that Yangyang and Ji Yunhuan got along very well. The second sister-in-law was so worried that she almost had insomnia all night.

She hadn’t intended to leave. Qi mother forced her to go. The second brother insisted on taking her away. Thinking of not being able to accompany Yangyang these days, she was so angry that she didn’t even bother with the second brother.

Qi mother glanced at her but said nothing and went to sit on the terrace.

The second sister-in-law walked over and said, "I just saw Qi Cheng."

"I heard he came over last night, very late."

"He just came out of Yunhuan’s room." The second sister-in-law said, "Mom, I know you want to keep Yunhuan under your watch. But don’t you think this gives Qi Cheng more opportunities to be with her?"

...

Ji Yunhuan still got up at around eight o’clock.

At the breakfast table, Qi mother looked at her and asked, "Did Qi Cheng come to your room last night?"

Ji Yunhuan didn’t know why Qi mother brought this up. The second sister-in-law was eating breakfast next to Yangyang, and everyone was very quiet. But surely someone would have known Qi Cheng went to her room. Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to lie, so she nodded.
