Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Bite Her On The Shoulder_1

"Mmm."

"He is being really..."

"In his opinion, that money was all earned when I was with the Qi Family. Since I’ve left now, it doesn’t matter. I don’t need it." Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan. "I just need you."

"..." Ji Yunhuan looked at the man in front of her, emotions of gratitude spreading through her heart.

Qi Cheng had truly sacrificed so much for her.

Qi Cheng said, "I’ve already found a job."

"Really?"

"Mmm." Qi Cheng sat down and said to her, "I’m helping a company draw design sketches. I can work from home. This way, I can stay with you and don’t have to go out, leaving you waiting every day."

Actually, it was a job he found online. This way was also better. In Jiangling, the old man definitely controlled the surrounding companies. It’s impossible to control every place.

This way, he had more freedom.

Ji Yunhuan listened to Qi Cheng and smiled slightly. "That sounds good."

Seeing his gloominess these days, she was always worried. Fortunately, everything was resolved now.

During the day, Qi Cheng would take care of Ji Yunhuan, accompany her on walks, dine with her, and farm. Only after she went to sleep at night did he start drawing design sketches.

Ji Yunhuan, pregnant, slept early at night. Sometimes she woke up and found him still working at two or three in the morning.

She sat up. "Qi Cheng."

Hearing her voice, Qi Cheng put down his pen and walked over, looking at her. "What is it? Are you feeling unwell?"

His worried expression made Ji Yunhuan unsure how to describe her feelings.

Deep guilt surged in her heart. If she wasn’t pregnant, he wouldn’t have to work so hard.

She said, "It’s late. You should sleep early. You don’t work this late every night, do you?"

"Of course not. Just tonight. You go back to sleep. I’ll finish up and then rest." He wasn’t in a hurry to work. After she fell asleep, he returned to finish. By the time he climbed back into bed, it was past four.

Saying it wasn’t tiring would be a lie. Previously, he drew purely out of interest, and no one restricted his time. But now...

Everything had to meet others’ requirements.

With time constraints.

And without much room for creativity.

Not everyone could understand his creativity or see his strengths.

If it weren’t for necessity, he wouldn’t have spent such time.

But, only this way could he earn money.

In the morning, sunlight streamed through the window. Ji Yunhuan opened her eyes to find Qi Cheng lying beside her, one hand gently around her. Considering she was pregnant, he didn’t hold her too tightly.

She looked at him beside her, remembering how proud he used to be. Now he lived so humbly. Removing his arm gently, she tiptoed out of bed.

Ji Yunhuan took the maid with her and went to the bank. She found her money was still accessible. Most of her money was invested in the Warmth restaurant, but she still had a few hundred thousand for emergencies.

She initially thought she wouldn’t need it, but now...

A few days ago, she found out that Jiangling County City was quite small. The economy wasn’t developed. With around 300,000 yuan, opening a shop was entirely possible.

She had already planned it.

Once the shop opened, life for her and Qi Cheng would be easier. He wouldn’t have to stay up so late every night. She felt sorry for him.

If she told Qi Cheng, he would surely oppose it. So, she decided to handle it herself first.

A few days ago, she looked at a shop and contacted the owner. Only the signing process remained.

Ji Yunhuan visited the shop owner and returned home by noon. Qi Cheng was already awake. She left a note before leaving, so he wasn’t worried.

Seeing her come in, he couldn’t help but frown. "Why did you go out so early? Even if you went out, you should’ve taken me with you."

Ji Yunhuan sat down, feeling a bit tired after walking for a while. "You slept too late last night. I didn’t want to wake you."

Ji Yunhuan let the maid take the items to the kitchen and said to Qi Cheng, "I saved breakfast for you. Have you eaten?"

"Mmm." He checked the time. It was already lunchtime. His eyes fell on Ji Yunhuan. "Are you hungry?"

Ji Yunhuan said, "I had breakfast. I’m not hungry now."

"I’ll cook." He looked at her tenderly. Before leaving, he held her hand gently. "Wait for me."

Just like before, every time Ji Yunhuan saw him like this, she couldn’t help but smile.

Two days later, Ji Yunhuan completed the shop’s signing.

At night, when they went to bed, she told Qi Cheng about it.

He looked at her, somewhat angry. "You’ve been busy with this these days?"

Ji Yunhuan tightly held his arm. "I’m pregnant now and can’t work. All I can do is this. Once the shop opens, I can hire people. I won’t have to do it myself."

"Ji Yunhuan," Qi Cheng said, "Didn’t I say you shouldn’t do anything during your pregnancy? You’re quite the troublemaker."

"Sitting around doing nothing every day is boring. I knew you wouldn’t agree, so I did it secretly." Ji Yunhuan said, "It’s just signing a contract and checking the shop. It’s not a big deal. People were nice to me because I’m pregnant."

"..." Qi Cheng lowered his head and bit her shoulder. "You’re getting bolder. I trust you, and you still deceive me."

"It’s your fault for being too strict. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have wanted to deceive you." Ji Yunhuan endured the pain, rubbing the spot he bit. Though it hurt, she showed no remorse.

"So, it’s all my fault?" He held her tighter. He didn’t want her to worry about these things.

She said she didn’t want to be idle, but he knew she wanted to share some financial burden with him.

Ji Yunhuan leaned on him, looking at him. "It’s my fault. But now, will you help me?"

He looked at her. "How should I help?"

"I want to open a special shop to attract customers. But I need your help designing it."

She knew he was talented. If he designed the shop, it would be far better than if she did it herself.

Ji Yunhuan said, "I know you’re tired. There’s no rush. You can finish your current work first, then we can work on it."

She didn’t rush into renting the shop. If she didn’t rent it, it would be hard to bring it up with Qi Cheng. He wouldn’t be willing to let her spend money on it.

Qi Cheng said helplessly, "Do as you like. The design sketches will be done in two days."

"So soon? You’re amazing." Ji Yunhuan kissed him as a reward. "Qi Cheng, you’re so talented. It’s a waste for you to draw design sketches online for others."
