Chapter 99: Chapter 99 I Am Its Master_1

Ji Yunhuan hurriedly put the items back in the box. He had already pushed open the door and entered; the knock just now was out of politeness. She hadn’t finished packing the items when Qi Cheng looked at her, "Are you looking for something?"

Since she came over, it was rare to see her touching her box.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Just casually looking."

"What are you looking for? Do you need my help?" Qi Cheng walked over.

Ji Yunhuan said, "No need."

She packed everything into the box and was about to put it away when Qi Cheng stopped her, "Let someone else do it."

Such a heavy box, he admired how she could lift it so easily.

Ji Yunhuan was about to refuse when a servant came over, "Madam, let me do it."

"Don’t touch my things." It was as if her secrets were being touched.

Seeing her nervous look, the servant froze. Ji Yunhuan felt her reaction might have been too much and said, "Just move it aside. Don’t touch my things in the future."

"No one dares to touch Madam’s things," the servant replied.

"That’s good." Ji Yunhuan said this just as a precaution.

She turned her head to see Qi Cheng looking at her with a complicated expression.

She felt a bit embarrassed, afraid that he might figure something out.

Just as she was about to explain, she heard Qi Cheng curiously ask, "Is there something valuable inside?"

He had never been interested in her box before, but now he wanted to see.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Nothing much, just some things left from home."

Qi Cheng instructed the servants in the room, "You all go out first."

Ji Yunhuan saw him dismiss the servants, as if he had something to say to her. She instinctively swallowed hard.

She knew Qi Cheng wanted to understand the grudges between her and the Gu Family Residence.

Someone as smart as him made her really worried he would figure something out.

Perhaps, should she tell him?

After the servants left and closed the door behind them, Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan with an unprecedented serious expression.

His eyes stared at her, staring... Suddenly, she heard him ask, "Are you homesick?"

Ji Yunhuan was stunned.

She realized he was being so serious not to interrogate her, but to show concern.

He cared about her emotions, thinking she was reminiscing about the past when she was looking through old things.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t explain further.

After all, she did have that feeling just now.

Especially after confirming the Gu Family Residence wanted to kill her, she really hoped to go back to the past when her parents were still around.

That way, no one would harm her.

Seeing her nod, Qi Cheng reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently whispering in her ear, "In the future, I will give you a better home than before."

This was also the only way he could compensate her.

Ji Yunhuan came out of the main building, recalling the seriousness and sincerity when Qi Cheng said that. She always felt that this man had been acting very strange these past couple of days.

Especially today, the way he pampered her was completely different from before.

It was as if he really loved her.

She didn’t know if he was setting a trap for her or if he had genuinely fallen for her.

But she preferred to believe it was the former.

She went to Young Master Chenchen’s room, but the servant said, "Young Master Chenchen is playing in the garden."

The sun was decent today, but since it was already late autumn, it wasn’t very warm. Ji Yunhuan walked over and saw Chenchen and Su Zi sitting on a chair by the sea of flowers.

Su Zi was teaching him to draw, and the two were closer than ever.

This ambiguous posture made Ji Yunhuan’s blood run cold.

Damn it!

She had been too focused on Qi Cheng these past few days, allowing these two to be together.

Although she had thought about finding someone Chenchen would like, it couldn’t be Su Zi!

Su Zi had almost strangled Chenchen before.

Such a ruthless woman, Ji Yunhuan could never tolerate.

Moreover, Su Zi might be doing all this just to toy with Chenchen’s feelings.

Her brother was so naive and had met so few girls, it would be very easy for him to be deceived.

Unconsciously, the grim image of Chenchen falling for Su Zi and then being abandoned by her flashed through her mind. At that time, Chenchen would really be heartbroken.

Thinking of this, Ji Yunhuan quickened her pace and walked towards them, "What are you doing?"

Chenchen turned his head and looked at her, "Sis."

He didn’t seem to realize he was getting too close to Su Zi.

However, Su Zi couldn’t help but stiffen and stood up, moving away from Chenchen.

Seeing her guilty look, Ji Yunhuan became even more certain: Su Zi had something to hide!

She glanced at the drawing board. The drawing was more than half finished.

When she wasn’t around, these two must have always been together.

Ji Yunhuan felt she had been negligent.

Chenchen said, "I want to learn to draw, so I had Su Zi teach me. Besides, there was nothing else to do."

To avoid hurting her brother’s feelings, Ji Yunhuan held back her words.

Su Zi also didn’t want to stay with Ji Yunhuan, and since she had to go to school, she left first. Ji Yunhuan watched her leave, frowning.

Chenchen looked at Ji Yunhuan, "Sis, are you unhappy?" He knew she still cared about Su Zi hurting him before. He explained, "Actually, Su Zi is pretty nice."

Ji Yunhuan looked at her brother and gently asked, "Chenchen, do you like her?"

Chenchen knew the ’like’ Ji Yunhuan mentioned referred to romantic feelings, and his ears turned red, "No! I just think she’s pretty nice. I hadn’t thought about it that much."

Seeing that his feelings weren’t that deep, Ji Yunhuan was relieved to have discovered this early. That was good. She said, "Beautiful women are poisonous, Su Zi is pretty, but Chenchen, don’t let her deceive you. You’re still young; you’ll meet better girls in the future."

"I know." Since Ji Yunhuan didn’t like Su Zi, Chenchen didn’t argue.

Ji Yunhuan played with him for a while, had someone clean up the place, and sent Chenchen back to his room to rest.

She returned to the main building with a gloomy look. Qi Cheng was sitting on the sofa reading materials. The dog named ’Qi Qi’ was squatting beside him. Seeing Ji Yunhuan walk in, it stood up quickly, wagging its tail to welcome her.

Qi Cheng saw this and frowned. He wouldn’t forget that ’Qi Qi’ was male. He told the housekeeper, "Take the dog away!"

The female housekeeper quickly called a servant.

"Why do you make it go away as soon as I come in? Isn’t it fine being here?"

"It’s too enthusiastic about you." Qi Cheng felt oddly uncomfortable, as it wasn’t like this with other women.

Ji Yunhuan was speechless, "Are you sick? Isn’t it normal for a dog to be enthusiastic about its owner?"

"Its owner is me. I’ve never seen it so enthusiastic with me." From the first time it saw Ji Yunhuan, ’Qi Qi’ had shown an unusually warm attitude.

"Maybe I’m just fated with it!" Ji Yunhuan reached out to pet Qi Qi’s head. It was very docile.

But since Qi Cheng had spoken, the servant took Qi Qi away. As it left, it kept looking longingly at Ji Yunhuan.

Qi Cheng glared, "See! I’ve never seen it be so enthusiastic with anyone else."

"Qi Cheng." Ji Yunhuan thoughtfully stared at the dog, "I feel like I’ve seen this dog somewhere before."

"..." Qi Cheng looked at her, stunned, "You’ve seen it before?"

"It just feels familiar, but it shouldn’t be." Ji Yunhuan denied it herself because she didn’t know Qi Cheng before, so she couldn’t have known his dog. She didn’t notice that Qi Cheng fell into deep thought because of her words.
