Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 587 Utterly Bored Him_1

It’s turned into a mess. She couldn’t tell the difference between work and home.

If she had known it would be like this, she wouldn’t have gone to work. She might as well have stayed at home taking care of the kids.

Ji Yunhuan walked into the elevator. Without even changing her clothes, she went to the room to check on Yangyang and Ruirui. Today, Ruirui was sleeping with Yangyang. The two little ones were lying on the bed. The maid said, "Young Master Rui was crying because he couldn’t see you last night. It was Young Master Yangyang who comforted him."

"Yangyang is that good?" Ji Yunhuan laughed. It was hard to imagine that Yangyang, who usually spoke so little, could actually comfort Ruirui.

Ji Yunhuan knew how troublesome Ruirui could be when he threw a tantrum. Sometimes even Qi Cheng couldn’t handle the little guy.

Ji Yunhuan sat down at the bedside and said to the maid, "You can go rest now."

The maid quickly left the room. Ji Yunhuan looked at the two children and couldn’t help but lower her head to kiss her darlings. Ruirui still had tears at the corners of his eyes. It seemed he had really cried hard.

When Qi Cheng pushed open the door and came in, he saw Ji Yunhuan still in her work attire, sitting at the bedside, gazing at their sons. Her look seemed to melt anyone, "You aren’t going to sleep?"

"You go to sleep first."

"..." Qi Cheng saw how stubborn she was and didn’t try to persuade her. He just closed the door and quietly left.

Ji Yunhuan stayed in that room for nearly half an hour before leaving.

She took a bath and went to bed, finding that Qi Cheng was already asleep.

The next morning, Ji Yunhuan woke up a bit late. She found that Qi Cheng had not called her; there wasn’t even an alarm clock in the room. With only half an hour left before work, Qi Cheng was already long gone.

Ji Yunhuan got up to wash, feeling a bit annoyed. Having not worked in a while, she’d gotten lazy at home. She knew Qi Cheng woke up early, around seven, even though work started at nine, so he didn’t set an alarm.

She didn’t know he hadn’t called her today.

Nor did he ask the maid to call her.

She quickly got ready. By the time she got downstairs, Qi Cheng had already left.

The maid saw her and said, "Madam, breakfast is ready."

Ji Yunhuan was busy, but the maid said, "Mr. Qi specially had it prepared for you."

And it was all her favorite food.

Given Qi Cheng was the company leader, she didn’t rush. Even if she went now, she’d definitely be late. She sat down and took twenty minutes to eat breakfast before leaving. She hit a bit of traffic on the way and was nearly an hour late by the time she got to the company.

She swiped her card and entered the president’s office, finding everyone on edge, and they all looked at her with sympathy. Ji Yunhuan felt like she was someone to be pitied.

Ji Yunhuan was infected by this tense atmosphere.

After looking around the office, she noticed Assistant Gao was there with a stern face.

Qi Cheng was also there, standing by the window with his hands behind his back. He seemed to be the source of the tension.

Assistant Gao said, "Sir, Assistant Ji is here."

Qi Cheng turned around. His face was stern with no trace of softness. Ji Yunhuan realized she hadn’t seen him this serious in a long while.

She reflected on herself. She hadn’t done anything wrong, right?

She hadn’t been tangled up with Bai Liyan lately either!

She hadn’t even seen him. Why was Qi Cheng suddenly losing his temper?

Besides, shouldn’t she be the one who was mad!

He didn’t wake her up, didn’t wait for her, and just left.

Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan, "Assistant Ji."

His voice was cold, sending chills down her spine.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t forget all those eyes on her. She put on a compliant look, "Director Qi."

"Do you know what time it is? You just started yesterday, and you’re late today. Aren’t you too bold?" He was all business, making everyone in the office too scared to breathe. They all watched nervously. Indeed, people were sometimes late, but if Assistant Gao and Director Qi were not around, nobody would say anything. It was just bad luck for Ji Yunhuan today.

Ji Yunhuan thought differently.

She just wanted to curse!

Damn it, wasn’t her being late his fault?

What was he trying to do?

Revenge under the guise of business?

She didn’t do anything to offend him last night!

If he hadn’t dragged her to dinner and fireworks last night, she wouldn’t have come home so late!

If he hadn’t deliberately not called her in the morning, she wouldn’t have been late!

Moreover, he knew she’d be late but still had breakfast made for her. If she hadn’t eaten it, he’d probably be mad too... Was he deliberately making things hard for her?

Fine!

Ji Yunhuan felt a grudge forming.

But she couldn’t fight Qi Cheng now.

She twitched her lips, suppressing the urge to slap him, and explained, "I was up late working last night, so I overslept this morning. It won’t happen again!"

Ji Yunhuan smiled, but inside she was cursing him a hundred times over. Fine! Qi Cheng, tonight you’ll be lucky if you get to bed at all.

"Follow me!" Qi Cheng gave her a stern look and walked out of the president’s office. Everyone sucked in their breath, feeling so sorry for Ji Yunhuan. They almost wished they could take her place.

Assistant Gao quickly followed Qi Cheng out.

Ji Yunhuan watched the two of them leave... sighing.

She thought Qi Cheng had too much free time, playing little tricks on her.

Several colleagues patted her shoulder as they passed by, as if she were off to her doom rather than a reprimand.

Ji Yunhuan put her bag on her desk and walked out to Qi Cheng’s office. His secretaries also looked at her sympathetically.

While also being glad they weren’t late today.

The door to the president’s office slammed shut. They could feel Director Qi’s anger but didn’t know Ji Yunhuan shut the door. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Ji Yunhuan crossed her arms and stood by the door, looking at the man sitting on the couch, glaring at him.

She was genuinely angry. He had made her late on purpose, and now he was scolding her in front of everyone. He didn’t save any face for her!

Qi Cheng looked at her silently. Who told her not to sleep when he asked her to last night? This was her punishment.

Ji Yunhuan adjusted her suit collar and walked over to Qi Cheng. He watched as she came over, a bit guilty, and started talking, "You said we’d keep things professional. I was just acting."

"Keep acting! Why not continue acting?" Ji Yunhuan raised an eyebrow.

Qi Cheng said, "Are you really mad?"

"You didn’t wake me up or wait for me this morning. Fine. But you came here to scold me too?" Ji Yunhuan sat down on the couch, glaring coldly at him.

Qi Cheng moved over to sit beside her, his attitude now gentle, completely opposite from his manner in the president’s office, "I was just joking with you."
