Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Elope with Her (2)_1

Qi Cheng sat down, and Lin Xiang followed suit.

Lin Xiang looked around and said, "I’ve never been to Brother Liyan’s house before."

"If you like, you can look around," Qi Cheng said.

Bai Liyan flicked his eyebrows. Although he and Qi Cheng had been close to the point of being inseparable, he was currently angry and didn’t like Lin Xiang. Hearing Qi Cheng say this made him feel quite uncomfortable.

Lin Xiang was perceptive, looking at Bai Liyan worriedly, "But Brother Liyan wouldn’t like it."

"Go ahead. I happen to have something to discuss with Liyan," Qi Cheng said to a nearby servant.

The Bai Family Residence’s servant heard Qi Cheng’s words, looked at Bai Liyan, and seeing he did not object, led Lin Xiang out.

"You have something to say to me?" Bai Liyan asked, watching Qi Cheng after Lin Xiang left.

Although he always felt guilty about intervening in the matter between Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan, feeling he had wronged Qi Cheng, he had no fondness for Qi Cheng, who had deceived Ji Yunhuan.

"I need your help with something." This was also Qi Cheng’s purpose in coming here today.

Bai Liyan looked at him indifferently, "Is there anything the omnipotent Mr. Qi needs my help with?"

"It’s about Yunhuan." Qi Cheng was very serious. If he hadn’t reached his last resort, he wouldn’t have come to ask Bai Liyan for help. "You know my mother has taken her back and kept her under house arrest. I want to ask you to help me get her out. I had no other choice but to ask you."

Bai Liyan was very surprised by his proposal, "You need my help?"

"If I didn’t need it, I wouldn’t have purposely come here today."

For other matters, he could just make a phone call. For this, he feared Bai Liyan would refuse, so he came in person.

Lin Xiang came downstairs after strolling around casually.

Seeing Qi Cheng and Bai Liyan sitting on the sofa drinking tea in silence, she walked over and sat next to Qi Cheng, "What are you talking about?"

"Man talk." Qi Cheng glanced at Lin Xiang.

Bai Liyan remained silent.

Lin Xiang looked at the still relatively harmonious atmosphere and smiled, "I was quite worried when I saw you two not getting along and arguing earlier. It’s good you’re on good terms now."

Since childhood, Bai Liyan and Qi Cheng had always been close. There was no need to fall out over Ji Yunhuan.

Bai Liyan looked at Lin Xiang but said nothing.

-

In the morning, Ji Yunhuan had just finished breakfast when a servant entered and said to Qi’s mother, "Madam, Young Master Bai is here."

Bai Liyan had just visited a few days ago, yet he came again.

Qi’s mother couldn’t help but glance at Ji Yunhuan.

She knew Bai Liyan likely came because of Ji Yunhuan.

In fact, Qi’s mother did not oppose Bai Liyan coming to see Ji Yunhuan.

If Bai Liyan and Ji Yunhuan were truly together and Ji Yunhuan was willing to let go of Qi Cheng, it would fulfill her wish.

Ji Yunhuan was about to go upstairs but stopped upon hearing Bai Liyan had arrived. Her second sister-in-law sat in the living room with Yangyang playing with toys beside her. Ji Yunhuan glanced at Yangyang, who also looked up at her.

Ji Yunhuan sat down on the sofa, and Yangyang put down his toy and came over, looking at her belly. Without waiting for Ji Yunhuan’s permission, he placed his hand on it and naively asked, "Is the baby moving?"

Her second sister-in-law watched this scene with great jealousy.

Though back, she had been by Yangyang’s side these past two days, it couldn’t change the fact that Ji Yunhuan and Yangyang’s relationship had improved.

Even when she was with Yangyang, he could still focus some of his attention on Ji Yunhuan.

Though she knew it wasn’t Ji Yunhuan attracting Yangyang but her big belly, it made her more resentful of her inability to have children.

If she could have a child, this situation wouldn’t happen today.

Sometimes she felt really envious.

For some women, they could conceive easily and have multiple children. But her?

All these years, she just wished for one child, but it remained an unfulfilled dream.

Ji Yunhuan smiled at Yangyang, "Yes, it moved. I’ll call you next time it moves."

"Oh." Yangyang looked at her belly in wonder, "Why doesn’t my mom’s belly have a baby?"

This sensitive question stunned her second sister-in-law, like a heavy slap in the face.

She looked at Ji Yunhuan, feeling it was all her fault. If she hadn’t come here, if she hadn’t returned to the Qi Family, Yangyang wouldn’t be asking this question.

Ji Yunhuan seemed to sense her second sister-in-law’s hostility and couldn’t help but glance at her.

Her second sister-in-law’s face was calm as she said to Yangyang, "Come here, don’t disturb your little aunt."

She always referred to Ji Yunhuan as Yangyang’s little aunt.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Second sister-in-law, can you not mislead him like this?"

If Yangyang got used to calling her little aunt, it would be hard to change, and she would feel upset.

Her second sister-in-law said, "What else should he call you? He calls Qi Cheng little uncle."

"If it’s wrong, it should be corrected."

"Yunhuan, you no longer have any ties with the Qi Family. Do you still remember your promise when you left the Qi Family? What, are you regretting it now?" Her second sister-in-law smiled, her eyes filled with coldness.

Ji Yunhuan met her gaze and was momentarily speechless.

Bai Liyan came in from outside, catching her second sister-in-law’s words. He walked over and sat next to Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan suppressed her discontent and looked at Bai Liyan, "You’re here."

Bai Liyan smiled, his as-bright-as-spring smile instantly lifting her earlier mood.

Seeing Bai Liyan, Qi’s mother also approached, "Liyan, you’re here."

Bai Liyan smiled, "Sorry to disturb you again, Aunt Qi."

Qi’s mother sat down, "This place is like your own home. There’s no need to talk about disturbing. Do you have other matters to attend to today?"

Bai Liyan glanced at Ji Yunhuan and said to Qi’s mother, "My mother came over today. She mainly wanted to see Yunhuan, so I planned to take Yunhuan over to accompany her. What does Aunt Qi think?"

Qi’s mother glanced at Ji Yunhuan and then at Bai Liyan, smiling, "Of course, it’s fine. But if your mother came over, you should have invited her to my place."

Bai Liyan said, "Mother said she would, but you know, she is used to staying at home and doesn’t like going out much, so..."

"Then remember to send her my regards," Qi’s mother smiled.

"Then I’ll take Yunhuan now." Bai Liyan glanced at Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t understand what he meant but didn’t rush to ask in front of Qi’s mother.

Qi’s mother didn’t oppose Bai Liyan taking Ji Yunhuan away. She knew because of Ji Yunhuan, Bai Liyan and Qi Cheng weren’t on good terms. She didn’t think Bai Liyan’s visit was prompted by Qi Cheng.
