Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 586: Go Back After Watching the Fireworks_1
Ji Yunhuan said, "Then after work, I still want to go home!"
"In the future, your time is mine," Qi Cheng looked at her and said, "If you want to go home, you have to please me first."
"..." She laughed, "What are you unhappy about this time, that I need to please you?"
"Everything makes me unhappy."
As they spoke, the waiter had already served their food.
She had lunch with her colleagues, but Ji Yunhuan felt a bit hungry now. Since they were already here, she didn’t want to dampen Qi Cheng’s mood.
Qi Cheng looked at her as she ate and said, "How long has it been since we spent time like this?"
"Haven’t we always been together?"
"Not since Ruirui was born." His voice was full of unwillingness, as if their son was not a gift from her but a burden.
Ji Yunhuan looked at him but said nothing.
She realized that the more she indulged him, the more Qi Cheng enjoyed tormenting her in this way.
...
Today, Grandpa called and asked the second brother to go over.
The reason was that Lin Xiang had returned home and told her parents about how the second brother had bullied and humiliated her. Lin Xiang’s parents went straight to Grandpa to accuse the second brother of "drunkenly assaulting Lin Xiang, not taking responsibility, and humiliating her in various ways."
Qi’s mother saw the second brother off at the door and said, "Talk to Grandpa properly. You can’t abandon Shi Xuan for Lin Xiang! Besides, you have a child now. I’ve already called your father, and he’ll speak to Grandpa."
If Grandpa was really that stubborn and insisted on favoring Lin Xiang, Qi’s mother would still try her best to fight for him.
The second brother said, "I know."
No matter how much Grandpa pressured him, he would never marry Lin Xiang!
Qi’s mother wasn’t too worried about the second brother. He was mature and rational, not like Qi Cheng, who always opposed Grandpa.
As soon as the second brother left, Qi’s mother called Qi Cheng.
Qi Cheng was still having dinner with Ji Yunhuan. When he saw the call, he answered, "Mom."
"Grandpa called your second brother over. If you have time, you should go too! Grandpa has always been fond of you. Maybe you could help."
"What can I do to help?" Qi Cheng’s attitude was cold. "Second sister-in-law once helped Lin Xiang bully Yunhuan. Everything she suffers now is her own doing. I won’t help with this."
When Lin Xiang was pestering him, everyone told him to be with the second brother. Now that Lin Xiang was pestering the second brother, asking him for help was ridiculous.
Moreover, Qi Cheng could never swallow the anger from what the second sister-in-law did to Ji Yunhuan.
Helplessly, Qi’s mother said, "Qi Cheng, he is your second brother. Even if it was Shi Xuan’s doing, she knows she’s wrong now. Why must a family turn out this way?"
"Their matters have nothing to do with me. And even if I went, I wouldn’t be able to help." With that, Qi Cheng prepared to hang up the phone. "I’m still eating. We’ll talk another time if there’s nothing else."
"..."
Seeing Qi’s mother stay silent, Qi Cheng directly hung up the phone.
Even though the matter was past, Qi Cheng was still very angry.
When the second sister-in-law humiliated Ji Yunhuan at the Shi family; when she embarrassed Ji Yunhuan at Father’s birthday party; when she caused Yangyang to fall ill... He remembered all these things clearly.
Even if there came a day when the second sister-in-law knelt in front of him to apologize, he would have to carefully consider whether to forgive her. Now, she didn’t even think she did much wrong in the past.
Even if she truly reflected, it was only because of the crisis of the second brother abandoning her!
So, Qi Cheng did not plan to forgive the second sister-in-law. He would never help the second brother prevent the divorce.
Ji Yunhuan could tell from Qi Cheng’s stern expression after he hung up the phone that he had not forgiven the second sister-in-law.
She deeply understood Qi Cheng’s anger, so she felt it was right that he didn’t want to help his second brother.
If the roles were reversed and everything that happened today befell Qi Cheng, the second sister-in-law would probably add fuel to the fire!
It was ridiculous to even think of asking Qi Cheng for help. If not for the second brother’s sake, Qi Cheng might have gone to stir up trouble with Grandpa.
After all the frustrations the second sister-in-law caused him, Qi Cheng was not the type to take losses lightly and laugh them off.
To Qi Cheng, the only person in the world whom he could easily forgive was Ji Yunhuan.
...
After dinner, Qi Cheng didn’t take Ji Yunhuan home. Instead, they drove around the city looking at the night scenery. The road by Tianqiao River was closed today. Qi Cheng’s convoy drove right in. Ji Yunhuan sat inside the car, watching fireworks being set off on both sides of the bridge. The car windows were down, and she looked outside. All the lamps on the bridge were off, and the fireworks lit up the night sky on Tianhe Bridge...
As she listened to the sound of the fireworks, she knew this was all arranged by Qi Cheng.
She had to admit Qi Cheng was really boring, but even she was moved by a man who always went to such lengths for her.
They had been together for so long. Most men would have lost interest in this woman by now, but he still treated her like it was their first love, always creating surprises that made her feel like they were still in love.
Even though the reason for their marriage wasn’t as romantic as others, the things she’s received after being with him were no less than any other woman’s.
As Ji Yunhuan was feeling moved, a pair of hands wrapped around her waist from behind, carrying Qi Cheng’s unique scent. "I prepared all this for you. How do you want to thank me?"
"Thank you."
"That’s it?"
"Thank you very much," she added.
"..." Qi Cheng was exasperated and laughed in her ear. "No sense of romance."
"Then what do you want?" Ji Yunhuan glanced at him. "We’ve finished eating. Are you expecting me to go home and cook dinner for you again?"
"Cooking dinner is the only way you can think of to thank me?"
"Pretty much."
"How did I end up marrying a woman with no sense of romance?"
"It’s all my fault then." Ji Yunhuan lifted her head, looked at him, and took the initiative to kiss his chin. "Is this enough?"
He lowered his head and took the opportunity to kiss her lips...
Ji Yunhuan knew this man was even less romantic than she was.
They stayed out late into the night before heading back home.
The female Housekeeper was waiting at the door. Seeing them finally return, she said, "The young masters have been waiting for you both for a long time."
Following behind Qi Cheng and looking at his straight back, Ji Yunhuan felt no guilt. If it weren’t for him keeping her out, she would have been back much earlier.
Ji Yunhuan came up with an excuse, "Working overtime, just got back now."
The female Housekeeper asked, "Mrs., how was your first day at work?"
"It was fine." It would have been better if Qi Cheng wasn’t her boss.
