Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Elope with Her (1)_1

"Did you hear about Qi Cheng and Lin Xiang’s engagement?" Mrs. Qi looked at Ji Yunhuan with a hint of anger on her face.

Ji Yunhuan said, "I know."

"Since you know, you should understand, Qi Cheng belongs to Lin Xiang. No matter how good your relationship is, he has nothing to do with you anymore. Even if he comes to you, you should distance yourself from him." Mrs. Qi spoke sternly to Ji Yunhuan.

Hearing Mrs. Qi’s words, it seemed clear to Ji Yunhuan that she was expected to drive Qi Cheng away if he came again. She smiled and said, "Qi Cheng is the father of my child. If he comes to see me, I won’t drive him away."

"So you intend to keep entangling with him forever?" Mrs. Qi’s attitude turned cold. She disliked Ji Yunhuan for not leaving Qi Cheng alone. In her eyes, Qi Cheng’s obsession with Ji Yunhuan was entirely Ji Yunhuan’s fault. She said, "Even if you don’t think for yourself, you should think for the child in your womb. If you keep entangling with Qi Cheng like this, you will become a third party. When the child is born, how do you expect him to face all this?

"A third party?" Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but laugh, "Qi Cheng and I haven’t even sorted out the divorce certificate yet. Legally, we are still married. Who exactly is the third party? Isn’t this something worth researching?"

"What did you say?" Mrs. Qi looked at Ji Yunhuan. Because they had discussed divorce, she hadn’t looked into it, not realizing that after all these years, Qi Cheng hadn’t completed the divorce procedures.

Although, to the Qi Family, a divorce certificate meant nothing. Mrs. Qi could easily fix it with a few connections. But being rebutted by Ji Yunhuan like this made her very angry, "You insisted on divorcing Qi Cheng back then but didn’t even get the divorce certificate. Have you been planning all along to come back and entangle with him? Ji Yunhuan, you are too scheming. You know Qi Cheng loves you, and you won’t be satisfied until you’ve made him miserable. Don’t think that just because you haven’t completed the divorce, you still have any hope. From the day you left the Qi Family, you lost all hope!"

Ji Yunhuan smiled and stopped arguing with Mrs. Qi.

Of course, she knew that even if she and Qi Cheng weren’t divorced, she couldn’t return to the Qi Family.

She didn’t expect to come back here either.

Mentioning these things was merely to avoid being branded as a mistress.

In the evening, Ji Yunhuan locked herself in her room. She didn’t go downstairs, Aunt Liu brought her meals to the room.

She could feel the malice in this house and didn’t want to cause herself discomfort by going downstairs.

Yangyang came to the room to find her, but soon his second sister-in-law called him away.

Second sister-in-law didn’t want Ji Yunhuan to have any contact with Yangyang. She seemed very afraid that Yangyang would be taken away by Ji Yunhuan.

With no status in this house, Ji Yunhuan could only endure. Besides enduring, there was nothing else she could do.

She didn’t want to cause trouble for Qi Cheng or make things difficult for him.

Just arguing with her second sister-in-law would be a losing battle for her.

The main thing was, she didn’t want to upset Yangyang.

Dinner time, the female housekeeper stood by as Qi Cheng ate quietly.

Lin Xiang sat across from him, "Brother Qi Cheng, I heard you went out last night. What did you do?"

Everyone in this household was Qi Cheng’s people, so they shouldn’t have said anything to Lin Xiang. For her to know, she must have heard it from the Qi Family. Qi Cheng didn’t lie to her, looked at her indifferently, "I went to see Yunhuan. Why? Do you want to go complain to Grandpa?"

Unexpectedly, he admitted it so calmly.

Being asked like this, Lin Xiang quickly shook her head, "No, no, I was just concerned about you. I was just wondering if there was something important when you went out last night."

Qi Cheng couldn’t help but chuckle.

He just wanted to see how long she could keep pretending.

Qi Cheng rarely talked to Lin Xiang, but today he couldn’t help but say more, "Lin Xiang, although we are now engaged, if you don’t want to continue, you can go complain to my mom or grandpa. If anything happens to Ji Yunhuan, I will never forgive you in my life."

His expression was serious, and Lin Xiang looked at him in surprise.

She knew Qi Cheng loved Ji Yunhuan a lot and cared about her deeply.

Still, now that she was engaged to Qi Cheng, she didn’t take Ji Yunhuan seriously. She smiled, "Brother Qi Cheng, I wouldn’t do that. You are so good to me; how could I harm her?"

The implication was if he wasn’t good to her, she wouldn’t spare Ji Yunhuan.

Qi Cheng knew Lin Xiang was not a simple person. Her family had a background, and she was not someone he could deal with casually. Moreover, she had Grandpa’s support. So, he endured what he could.

He warned her just not to cause trouble at this time. Whatever else she said, he pretended not to hear.

"Brother Qi Cheng, let’s watch a movie together after dinner? I heard there’s a really good one out recently." Lin Xiang suggested.

"I have something to do after dinner." Qi Cheng refused.

Lin Xiang’s eyes showed some disappointment, "You saw her last night, and now you want to go again today?"

Qi Cheng was speechless, "I have my own things to do."

"Where? Can I come with you?"

"Suit yourself." After all, he wasn’t going to see Ji Yunhuan, so it didn’t matter if she followed.

Lin Xiang smiled happily.

After dinner, Qi Cheng got into the car with Lin Xiang following. In the car, she kept chattering while Qi Cheng remained silent, barely responding to her.

It had been like this for a while. Qi Cheng didn’t hide his dislike for Lin Xiang, but as long as it didn’t involve Ji Yunhuan, Lin Xiang didn’t cause trouble. No matter how coldly Qi Cheng treated her, she could endure it.

Even Qi Cheng didn’t understand where she found the courage to get engaged to him.

He initially thought she would slowly lose hope, but it seemed he thought too much.

Lin Xiang was very confident. As long as she reduced the opportunities for Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng to meet, she believed that one day, Qi Cheng would give up on Ji Yunhuan.

She was still young and had plenty of time to wait for him to forget that person.

Bai Liyan had just arrived home. The servant walked in, "Sir, Mr. Qi is here to see you."

Bai Liyan instinctively frowned. Since he got entangled with Ji Yunhuan, Qi Cheng seldom came to see him. He had been troubled by Ji Yunhuan’s situation these past few days. He didn’t expect Qi Cheng to come here.

"Let him in," Bai Liyan said.

The servant walked out. After a while, Qi Cheng came in, with Lin Xiang beside him.

"Brother Liyan." Lin Xiang also didn’t expect Qi Cheng to come to see Bai Liyan.

Bai Liyan looked at the two of them, "Have a seat."

Because of his concern for Ji Yunhuan, he couldn’t stand seeing either of them now.
