Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Warm Interaction_1

"You don’t know how to draw at all!"

"So what if I don’t?"

"Then why did you act like you did in front of Second Sister-in-law?"

"How was I supposed to know she would really ask me to draw? I thought even if she did, she would quickly forget about it once I got back." She was used to bluffing. After being mocked by Qi Cheng, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She grabbed her own drawing paper, "Don’t worry about me. You go to sleep!"

"You’re not going to sleep?"

"I’ll sleep a bit later."

In the middle of the night, Qi Cheng discovered she still hadn’t slept. The desk lamp was on, and she was still working on her design sketches.

"Ji Yunhuan, go to sleep," he mumbled. He knew that with her skills, no matter how hard she tried, it would be futile.

But for the strong-willed Ji Yunhuan, she was never one to sit and wait for things to happen.

How could she really wait until Second Sister-in-law forced her to climb over the wall?

Besides, she wanted to prove that she was not inferior to others.

She focused entirely on her work, not noticing the man who came up behind her.

Qi Cheng stood behind her, watching her. Her long fingers holding the pen were so attractive.

He simply sat down on the chair she was sitting on, wrapped his arms around her from behind. The sudden warmth made Ji Yunhuan slightly startled. Knowing it was Qi Cheng, she did not push him away, "Didn’t I tell you to sleep? Why did you come over?"

She really did not like being disturbed at this time.

Qi Cheng looked at the few drafts she had drawn and was a bit surprised, "Not bad! You’ve improved so much in just one night."

"Nothing is difficult if you put your mind to it." She was confident in her ability to learn, although she knew she was still far from being creative.

Qi Cheng covered her hand that was holding the pen, "But here, it should be adjusted. This way it will look more three-dimensional, right?"

Ji Yunhuan looked at it; it was indeed the case. She had to admire the professional.

There was a subtle warmth in his embrace, and his voice was extremely soft. It was hard to imagine Qi Cheng being so gentle to her. She couldn’t help but lift her head and glance at him...

Seeing her look, he curiously asked, "I’m giving you important tips. Why are you looking at me?"

She shifted her gaze back to the drawing. This time, Qi Cheng said nothing more and just watched as she made adjustments on the sketch.

"Yunhuan!"

He had never called her name so gently before. It was always Ms. Ji or Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan’s eyes widened in surprise. Before she could see his face clearly, his lips were already on hers.

His kiss was gentle and warm, lingering on her lips...

She used to extremely dislike such intimate contact. But maybe because she had experienced it before, she couldn’t bring herself to hate him.

The space he left her was too narrow. Her body was forced against the desk, causing her some discomfort...

Yet, he continued kissing her, seemingly unaware.

Unable to bear it anymore, she reminded him, "Qi Cheng, I’m uncomfortable."

He looked at her, then stood up, picked her up from the chair. The sudden feeling of being lifted made Ji Yunhuan grab his robe involuntarily. He carried her to the bed and laid her down. His body quickly pressed down, and she could feel his arousal...

Her face turned slightly, feeling uneasy.

Qi Cheng asked, "Is this place okay?"

His double entendre made her unsure how to respond.

Having stayed up half the night, her head hit the pillow, and she felt extremely sleepy.

"I’m very tired. Can we do this another day..."

"No." He refused, one hand under her, hugging her, the other holding her hand, "Waiting has no end. I don’t want to wait anymore."

During the day, when she tempted him, he had wanted her.

Now, that desire was stirred up again by her.

Ji Yunhuan yawned wearily, "Do as you wish. I’m going to sleep."

After saying this, she closed her eyes, not pushing the man on top of her away.

Qi Cheng lowered his head, kissing her. In a short while, he heard her breathing become steady and peaceful with sleep...

Watching her sleeping peacefully, he couldn’t help but chuckle. At a time like this, she could fall asleep, showing how unsuccessful he was.

He didn’t let go of his hold on her, lying down beside her. Watching her sleep in his arms, he thought suddenly that there seemed to be a long road ahead for them.

After all, this woman was able to remain unresponsive to his kisses... showing that he did not exist in her heart.

In the morning, Ji Yunhuan woke up late because it was nearly dawn when she slept. Qi Cheng didn’t wake her, allowing her to wake up naturally.

At ten, Ji Yunhuan got up from bed.

Warmth was still waiting for her over there. How could she live her days comfortably here?

After washing up and going downstairs, seeing Qi Cheng drinking tea, she said, "I need to go out."

"Where to?"

"Gu Family Residence." She knew Qi Cheng would probably not let her go, so she explained, "I’m going to find Gu Xinran. Don’t get me wrong, I really have business to attend to."

"I’ll go with you!"

"Oh?" Ji Yunhuan looked at him in surprise, not expecting he would accompany her. She originally planned to have him bring a couple of people. Without them, she would just be bullied at Gu Family Residence. Uncle Gu was an old fox. He seemed easy to deal with but was actually very cunning.

Just like the day before, she had been waiting to see the downfall of the Gu Family. In the end, it was she who got in trouble.

"Why do you look surprised?" Qi Cheng looked at her gently.

"Are you worried I’ll have an affair with Gu Yubai, so you want to go with me?" If that was the case, she wouldn’t want him to come. Being suspected all the time really didn’t feel good.

"What are you thinking? I’m just going to protect you, to prevent their family from targeting you again." He said righteously, but the intention was the same.

But since she had nothing with Gu Yubai and with Qi Cheng there, things would be easier to handle. Why not?

"I’ll go check on Chenchen first."

This was her routine before going out. After all, her brother was her everything.

Seeing her doting on her brother like this, Qi Cheng was a bit envious. He was also called Chengcheng. Why didn’t he get such good treatment?

In the car, Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan looking for something to eat and said, "I think you have a bad habit that needs to change."

"What bad habit?" She found a can of drink and took it, sitting in the seat, ready to open it.

Because she woke up late, she didn’t want to eat before leaving. Now she was a bit hungry.

Qi Cheng looked at her distracted expression, "Are you listening?"

She stopped what she was doing, glanced at him, "Go on."
