Chapter 82: Chapter 82 We Are Very Similar_1

She became more embarrassed to stay the more Xie Xingwei spoke like that.

Xie Xingwei stood up. "No need. I didn’t know you were here. I’ll leave now."

Watching her departing figure, Ji Yunhuan lazily yawned, sat down, and said to Qi Cheng, "It seems she still hasn’t forgotten you."

Qi Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Maybe it’s because I’m too outstanding."

Ji Yunhuan looked at him disdainfully. "It’s clearly because you’re too much of a playboy. Which woman who broke up with you hasn’t been unable to forget you?"

Qi Cheng suddenly stared at her face seriously. "Come here for a moment."

That look in his eyes... Was there something on her face?

Ji Yunhuan suspiciously approached him, only to be pulled into his arms.

Damn it!

Ji Yunhuan raised her head and glared at him. "You’re a patient. Do you have a death wish?"

"It’s fine." He studied her closely, pulled her into his embrace, and a mix of tenderness and guilt crossed his eyes. He rarely wanted to have a heart-to-heart after just experiencing life and death. "I admit I’ve had an unforgettable past. But I pursued those relationships seriously. It wasn’t about playing with them. It’s just like you and Gu Yubai. Sometimes, people can’t help themselves. You certainly didn’t plan to break up with him either, but not everything in this world turns out the way you want."

Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng, pushed him away, and sat by the hospital bed.

She examined Qi Cheng. "You don’t have to explain these things to me."

"But I want to make things clear with you," Qi Cheng said. "Since we’re married, I won’t have ambiguous relationships with other women anymore."

"But they won’t forget you. Even when Xia Duo found someone else, it was still the same."

"But they won’t get any response from me." Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan and couldn’t help but laugh. "Maybe if I had met you earlier, I wouldn’t have been entangled with them."

"That’s easy to say." Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but laugh. "If you had met me earlier, I might have been among them, still despised by you!"

Qi Cheng said, "Actually, from the time I dated my first girlfriend, I was ready for marriage. But later... she gave up after a meal with my family. She said my family put too much pressure on her."

"So you still have feelings for her?" His first girlfriend? She didn’t expect he remembered her.

Qi Cheng lifted the corner of his mouth. "If that were the case, I would actually be happy. But when she told me she didn’t want to be with me, I didn’t feel sad at all. She said she was going abroad, and I handled everything for her. It wasn’t until we broke up that she told me if I had treated her a little better and begged her, she wouldn’t have left. She said I didn’t love her..."

"So? Do you love her or not?" Ji Yunhuan asked curiously.

Qi Cheng shook his head. "Probably not. Otherwise, my heart would have hurt when I lost her."

Because when Ji Yunhuan wasn’t nice to him, he would feel that heartache.

When he thought she might be in trouble, his heart would be uneasy, to the point he’d ignore his safety.

"How long were you two together?"

"A year."

"No feelings, but you still stayed together for a year?"

"Because I always thought I loved her, just like you and Gu Yubai..."

Mentioning that made Ji Yunhuan’s face stiffen.

She didn’t love Gu Yubai, only treated it as a kind of familial connection.

Since her father had arranged the engagement, she believed that would be her future support.

Qi Cheng smiled. "You see, sometimes we’re very similar. We try hard to love someone, as sincerely as anyone else. But if there’s no feeling, there’s no feeling. No matter how hard you try, the other person is still not indispensable."

His words stunned Ji Yunhuan.

She always felt there was something familiar about this man. Was it because of this?

It wasn’t for lack of trying to love. But no matter how hard one tries, it’s in vain.

It’s like living in this world; others live normally, but she is the odd one out.

Both cold-blooded and fickle.

Unable to fit into others’ worlds.

They chatted for a while, and then a nurse came in.

As a handsome and stylish man, even Qi Cheng looked devastatingly attractive after being injured.

And he was always gentle with people.

Even a plain nurse would receive the politest treatment from him, and everyone particularly liked her.

Ji Yunhuan found it hard to imagine, watching from the side, that privately, he was actually domineering and a bit childish. It was harder to imagine that someone like him preferred to dine alone.

The more people around, the more profoundly he felt his difference from them.

She suddenly realized she might understand him.

In the evening, Ji Yunhuan met Qi Cheng’s eldest sister-in-law and his niece, Leilei.

Qi Cheng’s eldest sister-in-law was older and more beautiful than the second sister-in-law. She already had two children but didn’t look it.

Niece Leilei had a typical princess syndrome. She sulked whenever she saw Ji Yunhuan and didn’t respond to questions.

Only when she saw Qi Cheng did she ask, "Uncle, how are you?"

Qi Cheng smiled. "Not bad."

Leilei was only eight years old this year, but there was a hint of arrogance in her demeanor.

With the Qi family’s upbringing, it was impossible to raise such a girl. But reportedly, the eldest brother favored his daughter over his sons, spoiling her like this.

After coming in, she hid behind her mother, secretly observing Ji Yunhuan, seemingly very interested in this new family member.

Qi Cheng said, "This is your aunt."

Leilei glanced at Ji Yunhuan and said, "I don’t like her."

The eldest sister-in-law gave her a look. "What did I tell you before we came? Be polite."

Leilei turned her face to the other side stubbornly.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t take it to heart, even though Leilei disliked her so much.

She’s just a child! Especially girls, they always have some quirks.

Ji Yunhuan herself had those quirks when she was little.

She used to be unwilling to greet people.

Her parents always remarked on her for that.

So Ji Yunhuan didn’t mind these things.

But surprisingly, the next morning, just as she got up, she saw Leilei at the hospital room door.

Today, she hadn’t come with her mother.

Seeing her, Ji Yunhuan was a bit surprised. Since Leilei disliked her so much, she didn’t expect the girl to visit often.

"I came with Teacher Xia." As she spoke, Xia Duo appeared behind her.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t know that the famous Xia Duo turned out to be Leilei’s piano teacher.

Now she understood why Leilei disliked her so much at first sight.

"Have a seat!" Ji Yunhuan invited them in and had the maids pour tea for the two.

As soon as Xia Duo entered, her gaze was glued to Qi Cheng like super glue.
