Chapter 44: Chapter 44 She Came Back With Me_1

The violinist who had just returned to the backstage also had a pale face. Seeing Ji Yunhuan looking so reliable, he gave up his position, but what was she doing?

If Qi Cheng got angry, he, being on the performance list, might have to bear all the responsibility.

Ji Yunhuan did not care about the many eyes on her. She had not touched the violin for so long; she just wanted to test the sound.

Of course, it was also to catch Qi Cheng’s attention.

Under everyone’s astonished gaze, Ji Yunhuan’s slender fingers held the bow with the most perfect posture and closed her eyes...

This time, everyone widened their eyes again.

However, what surprised them was the perfect sound of the violin she played.

At this moment, everyone seemed to forget the unpleasant incident that had just occurred.

Every note, every melody, was grasped perfectly by her. Her captivating presence, paired with nearly perfect violin music, provided a dual sensory enjoyment of sight and sound.

Qi Cheng’s gaze also landed on her. Just a few days ago, she was still working as a waitress at a tavern. Now, she stood there, shining like a diamond.

Her perfect performance left everyone else dumbfounded.

However, Ji Yunhuan herself seemed completely unaware. Although she chose this method to attract Qi Cheng’s attention, at this moment, she had completely forgotten her purpose, absorbed in this familiar yet unfamiliar performance.

It felt like a return to her best years. Back then, she was aimless, learning these useless things purely out of interest.

In these areas, she could be called a genius. However, after the family incident, she realized these interests couldn’t feed her, and she had long abandoned them.

She never thought that when she picked up this hobby again, it would be to please a man.

Finishing a perfect piece, she opened her eyes, meeting the gaze of the man on the sofa who was watching her.

She calmly walked off the stage, put the violin down, and handed it back to its owner.

The violinist looked at her, a respectful expression in his eyes. "Are you a professional?"

Ji Yunhuan denied it. "No, I just learned it when I was interested in the past."

On closer inspection of her hands, they did not look like those of someone who had practiced the violin for a long time, proving she wasn’t lying.

Admiringly watching Ji Yunhuan’s back, she did not walk over to Qi Cheng but left directly.

She walked so decisively, it seemed as though she hadn’t come for Qi Cheng at all.

Qi Cheng had originally thought that if she appeared before him, he would certainly reject her to punish her for pushing him toward Xie Xingwei. But now...

He could only watch dumbfounded as she left.

This woman! She seemed able to see through his thoughts.

The moment Ji Yunhuan walked out, Qi Cheng stood up too.

When Ji Yunhuan returned home, the housekeeper saw her returning alone and asked, "Madam, didn’t you go to find the master? Why didn’t you come back with him?"

Ji Yunhuan coldly replied, "Whether he comes back or not, what does it have to do with me? It would be best if he never came back."

Qi Cheng walked in behind her with a dark face. Did she know he followed her back and intentionally said such things to anger him?

He wanted to turn around and leave in anger, but... that would hardly look good.

The housekeeper looked at him in surprise. "Sir, you’re back!"

Qi Cheng responded faintly, his gaze falling on Ji Yunhuan.

"Is dinner ready?" Ji Yunhuan asked the housekeeper indifferently.

The housekeeper said, "It’s ready."

Ji Yunhuan walked straight to the dining table.

Qi Cheng followed her. "Ms. Ji is truly polite; you won’t call someone when it’s time to eat?"

Ji Yunhuan looked at him. "I didn’t call you, yet you came anyway."

"..." Qi Cheng sat down angrily.

It felt like she was trying to infuriate him!

Clearly, she had gone to seek his forgiveness. Could she not soften a bit?

Moreover, she hadn’t yet accounted for injuring him earlier!

Ji Yunhuan finally raised her head to look at him directly, curiously asking, "Wasn’t Mr. Qi always sulking and refusing to come back? What wind brought you back today?"

"..." Qi Cheng followed her back. She didn’t believe he didn’t know.

But she intentionally asked like this to humiliate him?

"I returned to my own home. Do I need to report to you?" He looked at her arrogantly.

Ji Yunhuan looked at his displeased face, knowing he felt bad inside, but she wanted to see how long this man could endure.

She was never good at coaxing people, but making them angry was her specialty.

"Miss Xie Xingwei didn’t serve Mr. Qi well. Otherwise, why does Mr. Qi look so displeased?" she deliberately teased.

Qi Cheng frowned, finally unable to bear it any longer. "Ji Yunhuan, do you have to anger me to death?"

"Where do you get that idea, Mr. Qi? Why burden me with such a crime?"

"Xie Xingwei was pushed to me by you. Are you jealous now?" Since leaving with Xie Xingwei, he hadn’t been with her.

Xie Xingwei had lost his interest. Yet to this day, Ji Yunhuan kept mentioning her.

"I said, I’m not interested in being jealous." Ji Yunhuan had already cut her steak and was about to eat when the man sitting next to her snatched it away and took a bite. "Tastes good."

"..." Ji Yunhuan glanced at him.

At this point, with her personality, she should ask why he sat over here. But her purpose was to reconcile with him, so she didn’t do anything that would harm both of them.

She glanced at Qi Cheng again, then forked another piece of steak for him. "If it’s good, have more."

"Such a good mood?" Qi Cheng looked at her in surprise.

Ji Yunhuan knew he was giving herself an out.

She smiled. "Would Mr. Qi prefer me to treat you like before?"

He shook his head. "This is fine."

She went to the bar to appease him. He didn’t want to keep up an arrogant front.

Ji Yunhuan fed him several times. When she felt his arm around her, she didn’t pull away. Sitting in his embrace, she cut another portion for herself. Qi Cheng sat next to her, observing her closely. Looking at her beautiful profile, he remembered her shining like a diamond in the bar and suddenly said, "You play the violin well."

Because of her presence, people felt that the violin was the most beautiful and elegant instrument in the world.

"Everyone who has seen it says so." She was confident but not proud. "But it can’t be turned into food, so it’s useless."

When her father was still alive, she had the money and time to cultivate these hobbies, learning whatever she liked, but...

Sensing her sorrowful gaze, Qi Cheng could roughly guess her thoughts. A wave of guilt washed over him. If it weren’t for him, she might still have had more. "Perhaps you could consider developing in that direction."
