Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 318 Reconciliation (1)_1

He watched her, silently, making Ji Yunhuan feel as if it wasn’t Qi Cheng looking at her, not that great liar, but a poor, sick puppy.

Ji Yunhuan really couldn’t bear it.

She used a spoon to scoop up some light rice porridge and brought it to his lips. Just as he was about to open his mouth to eat, she quickly moved it away.

Qi Cheng, who had been teased, looked at her, the displeasure evident in the big boss’s eyes.

"Why did you lash out at Assistant Gao?" Ji Yunhuan asked curiously.

Qi Cheng glanced at her—this was the one thing he absolutely did not want to tell her, "How I discipline my subordinates, what does that have to do with you?"

He was very displeased and looked at the porridge in the bowl. The female housekeeper always understood his appetite. He really wanted to eat, "Feed me."

Ji Yunhuan moved the spoon to his lips. This time, she didn’t tease him. Watching him contentedly eat the food, she felt a bit happy herself, "Tasty?"

If he was willing to eat, it meant his body was getting better.

Qi Cheng said, "It’s okay."

Ji Yunhuan took a bite and tasted it, disdainfully remarking, "It has no flavor at all."

Qi Cheng stared at her, his voice suddenly becoming gentle, "It’s contagious."

He wouldn’t forget she had a cleanliness obsession, but she hadn’t seemed to mind him.

Ji Yunhuan licked her lips at his words, "It’s okay. At worst, if I catch a cold, you can take care of me. Otherwise, how will I ever repay this favor?"

She said this because she had kissed him before, many times. If she were really to catch it, there was no helping it.

But, when he was sick, she genuinely hadn’t thought that much. Her heart was only filled with worry, worry that he would die and wouldn’t exist in this world anymore, also worried that he would burn until he became silly.

Although she hated him, he was the man most entangled with her in this world.

She didn’t want to end up being blamed for hurting him.

Ji Yunhuan’s words made Qi Cheng suddenly quiet. He ate most of the bowl of porridge, then stopped, telling her to leave it for later.

He was still very ill, after all.

Ji Yunhuan took a piece of fruit from the side, skillfully peeled it, and handed it to him. When he didn’t eat it, she ate it herself.

She had taken care of him for a long time and was also hungry.

But, eating things indifferently while he was sick didn’t seem quite right.

She only knew that when Qi Cheng was ill, everyone in the household seemed to eat very little.

This made her feel embarrassed.

As Ji Yunhuan gnawed on the fruit beside him, Qi Cheng listened to her, the mouse-like sound, his gaze falling on her, watching her.

Ji Yunhuan looked at him, asking again, "Do you want to eat?"

"No need." Qi Cheng watched her, thinking about last night.

Clearly, before meeting her, he had been with other women.

But thinking about last night, almost being taken advantage of by Ms. Xingwei, nearly causing him to betray her, made him hate it to death.

Ji Yunhuan said, "If you’re sleepy, just sleep. Don’t mind me."

"Where will you sleep tonight?" Qi Cheng asked.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Of course, I’ll go back to my house to sleep. I’ll have Assistant Gao take me back."

"Don’t you dare." His tone was threatening.

Here he went again.

Ji Yunhuan rolled her eyes at him, "Then where do you want me to sleep? I’ll sleep in the next room."

"Not allowed." Two words. He seemed to have become fond of this phrase.

"Then I’ll sleep on the sofa."

"Here." He pointed to the spot next to him.

Ji Yunhuan looked at him, "Are you sure? The doctor will come and check on you at night. I don’t want to sleep beside you. It feels weird." She looked at him helplessly, "I’ll sleep on the sofa. After all, once you fall asleep, you won’t wake up so quickly, no matter where I sleep, you wouldn’t know."

"I’ll know." He finally said more than two words, seriously staring at her, "You being here makes me feel at ease."

"What if I’m not here?" Ji Yunhuan said, "Once you get better, I will leave. Don’t forget that."

"Are you really going to be with Bai Liyan?" Qi Cheng looked at her in disbelief.

At this moment, she still wanted to make things clear with him, because she was mindful of Bai Liyan? Did she really plan to marry Bai Liyan, so she had to maintain her distance from him?

"Yes." Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to deny it.

Pitying him was one thing, staying by his side was another.

Many things told her that being with Qi Cheng was impossible.

He only felt he needed her now because he was sick.

But if she left, wouldn’t he find someone else to be with him?

He would never let himself be lonely.

Looking at his sickly appearance, Ji Yunhuan convinced herself not to think about unhappy things.

Thus, she restrained herself and stayed here.

Qi Cheng looked at her, lifting the corners of his mouth in a helpless smile, "You make me feel very stupid."

"You’re not the only one who feels that way." Ji Yunhuan insisted on finishing the fruit and threw the pit into the trash can next to her.

She pressed the service bell to have the servants take away the remaining food.

After doing all this, she saw that Qi Cheng had already fallen asleep. He turned his face coldly to the side she couldn’t see, falling into sleep.

Ji Yunhuan slept on the sofa at night. The sofa was very large, and it was comfortable to sleep on.

She couldn’t remember the last time she slept on this sofa. Lying here, she couldn’t help but think of many things.

She remembered that Qi Cheng used to steal her sofa to sleep on.

Back then, Qi Cheng didn’t love her like he did now. At that time, he probably just treated her as the woman who caused Su Molang’s death.

But for some reason, thinking about those times didn’t just bring hate; it brought an indescribable nostalgia.

If she were still the same clueless person she was back then, not knowing what Qi Cheng had done, just simply wanting to play the role of his wife, staying by his side, she probably wouldn’t have so much pain and trouble now.

In the middle of the night, the doctor came to see Qi Cheng several times. Ji Yunhuan was always disturbed and couldn’t sleep well that night.

Finally, she made it until dawn. Upon waking, she got up and looked at the bed. It was empty, with no sign of Qi Cheng. Judging by the state of the sheets, he had just gotten up.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom; he was inside.

Ji Yunhuan sat cross-legged on the sofa, watching him walk out. He glanced at her and then turned away coldly, lying back on the bed.

She couldn’t help but laugh.

Just because of what she said last night, did he hate her that much?

Ji Yunhuan got up, washed up, then went out. The sunlight outside was warm. If not for the seriously ill patient lying inside, everything would have been perfect.

She sat on a wooden bench in the garden, looking at the blooming flowers in the flower field, feeling like someone was always watching her.
