Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 579 She Is His Life_1

Today was Qi Mother’s birthday. If something bad happened, Qi Mother would likely be upset again. Although Qi Mother wasn’t her own mother, Ji Yunhuan still empathized with her, as she was Qi Cheng’s mother.

Assistant Gao, with a complicated expression, said, "Second Madam is pregnant."

"..." Ji Yunhuan was drinking water and almost spat it out. "Are you joking? How could Second Sister-in-law be pregnant?"

"But that’s what the doctor said." Assistant Gao also found it unbelievable. After all, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law had been together for so many years without children. And now, suddenly...

Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng. For matters that didn’t relate to him, he was always very calm. Ji Yunhuan asked him, "What do you think?"

"What?"

"Your opinion."

"What could my opinion be?" Qi Cheng really had no thoughts on the matter, nor was he interested.

Ji Yunhuan told Assistant Gao, "Have someone take care of her!"

Assistant Gao quickly left. Ji Yunhuan then said to Qi Cheng, "Second Sister-in-law’s pregnancy is really timely."

Sooner or later, it came at this exact time.

One has to admit that people are like this; you always have to lose something to gain something. Before, when Second Brother was so kind to Second Sister-in-law, they waited endlessly for a child that never came. Now, as they decided to get a divorce, the child arrived.

In the evening, during dinner, Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, Second Brother, and the Lin Family sisters were all present, except for Second Sister-in-law.

"Didn’t Shi Xuan come today?" Qi Mother asked.

Lin Xiang and Lin Zhenyu shot a wary glance at Ji Yunhuan. Seeing the guilty look on the sisters’ faces, Ji Yunhuan knew they wouldn’t admit to bullying Second Sister-in-law even if confronted now. More importantly, Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to stand up for Second Sister-in-law.

She said, "Second Sister-in-law wasn’t feeling well and went back to rest."

Hearing this, Second Brother’s expression shifted briefly. Clearly, he still cared for Second Sister-in-law and couldn’t bear to actually divorce her.

It was probably Lin Xiang’s incident that made him feel guilty and lose the courage to stick it out!

Ji Yunhuan, while eating, glanced at Lin Xiang. If Lin Xiang became her Second Sister-in-law, it would likely be even more distressing than Shi Xuan.

So, she truly didn’t want Lin Xiang to marry Second Brother.

After dinner, Ji Yunhuan chatted with Qi Mother while holding her child. Qi Mother knew Yangyang had been very well-behaved lately and felt happy seeing the harmonious state of Qi Cheng’s family.

By this time, the Lin sisters had already left, and Second Brother wasn’t there. Ji Yunhuan said to Qi Mother, "There’s something I’m not sure if I should say."

"What is it?" Qi Mother asked.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Second Sister-in-law is pregnant."

"..." Qi Mother stared at Ji Yunhuan, her reaction much like Ji Yunhuan’s earlier. "Are you joking?"

"No joke, it’s true. Second Sister-in-law fainted today. I had someone take her to rest and called a doctor. That’s what the doctor said."

Hearing this, Qi Mother quickly stood up. "Accompany me to see her."

"Alright." Ji Yunhuan glanced at Qi Cheng, who was talking to Qi Father. She told Qi Cheng, "Watch the child."

Then she followed Qi Mother out.

Second Sister-in-law was in a room at the hotel. Knowing she wasn’t feeling well, Second Brother went to see her after dinner.

Assistant Gao had been watching over her all this time. Seeing Second Brother, Assistant Gao said, "Mr. Qi."

"I came to check on her."

"Second Madam just woke up." Assistant Gao hadn’t had time to tell Second Sister-in-law about the pregnancy.

Second Brother entered the room and looked at the people inside, saying, "You all can leave first."

The caretakers and doctor called by Assistant Gao were attending to her. Hearing Second Brother’s order, they all left.

Seeing Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law’s attitude was cold. "What are you doing here?"

Although she didn’t want to divorce, thinking of Second Brother’s entanglement with Lin Xiang and his intention to abandon her made her unable to be polite.

She couldn’t possibly beg him for forgiveness, could she?

Second Brother looked at Second Sister-in-law. "I heard you weren’t feeling well, so I came to see you."

A week had passed. During this week, Second Brother had been working outside and hadn’t gone home or visited Second Sister-in-law. It was impossible for him not to feel any concern. He knew that even if he didn’t mention the divorce, just knowing about his unclear relationship with Lin Xiang would deeply trouble her.

Faced with Second Brother’s concern, Second Sister-in-law remained silent. Her face showed nothing but exhaustion.

Second Brother said, "I have prepared the divorce agreement. All my assets will go to you. Even if I’m not by your side in the future, you will be well. I have wronged you. So, I hope you will forget me and live well."

Hearing this, Second Sister-in-law looked up, tears in her eyes. "Forget? You want me to forget you? How can I? I’ve known you since I was sensible. From that time on, my life was solely about you. Now I’m in my thirties, and you want me to forget you? If you really love Lin Xiang and despise me, don’t say such hypocritical words. I don’t want anything from you. If you want me to leave, to give you space, I’ll go right now!"

"..." Second Brother knew she misunderstood his intention. "After the divorce, I won’t be with Lin Xiang. Rest assured, leaving you is not for Lin Xiang."

"Then why?"

"Because I wronged you," Second Brother said. "I did those things with Lin Xiang. I don’t have the courage to ask for your forgiveness. And I know you won’t forgive me! This matter will always be a thorn in our hearts, won’t it?"

He understood her too well, so he no longer hoped for her forgiveness.

Even if she were willing to forgive, Second Brother still felt guilty towards her.

Tears streamed down Second Sister-in-law’s face. Neither of them spoke for a long time.

Ji Yunhuan and Qi Mother just reached the door, seeing Assistant Gao and others standing outside.

Ji Yunhuan puzzledly asked, "Why are you all standing here?"

"Second Young Master is inside." Assistant Gao looked at Qi Mother and greeted her, "Madam."

Ji Yunhuan glanced at Qi Mother. "Second Brother still cares about Second Sister-in-law."

"Of course he cares. Since childhood, he has valued her more than our entire family. When he was in third grade, Shi Xuan got sick and hospitalized. He went back and forth between school and the hospital every day, not willing to go home. In his teens, he took Shi Xuan on a trip, where they encountered an earthquake. He got injured himself and, risking his life, dug Shi Xuan out of the rubble. When he told me he wanted a divorce, he sounded calm, but I knew it was like carving his heart out and putting it on fire... Knowing how much he cared, I never said a word about them not having kids all these years."

Thinking of this, Qi Mother felt somewhat resentful towards Lin Xiang. "After all these years together, they fell because of Lin Xiang. Your Second Brother wants a divorce not to marry Lin Xiang, but because he feels guilty towards your Second Sister-in-law and can’t face her."
