Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 593: A Woman Hidden Inside_1

"He is your friend. Even if I am worried, it’s for you. Don’t be so petty, will you? And..." Ji Yunhuan said, "He has been missing for so long; you should have someone look for him. Bai Liyan helped us a lot before, and even if he likes me, he hasn’t done anything inappropriate."

"He held your hand before!" Qi Cheng had not yet gotten over what happened at the hotel that day.

Ji Yunhuan really didn’t know what to do with him, "I explained to you after we came back that day. He was with Zhou Yixiu there; he didn’t want me to meet Zhou Yixiu."

"Why is he so worried about you?" Qi Cheng said, "Isn’t it because he likes you? You don’t need to worry about him; there are plenty who will."

He initially planned to look for Bai Liyan, but hearing Ji Yunhuan say this, he suddenly had no goodwill toward Bai Liyan and didn’t want to look for him anymore.

Hearing Qi Cheng’s words, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but want to slap this man.

However, she knew he really minded Bai Liyan, so she didn’t say anything.

So he wouldn’t think she had something with Bai Liyan before.

She looked at Qi Cheng, who sat sulking on the sofa, and walked over, sitting down on the table in front of him, looking at him, "Are you angry?"

"..."

"When I’m talking to you about something serious, can you not get jealous? If I were really worried about him, would I say it in front of you? Qi Cheng, you make me not know what to say. I won’t dare to talk to you about serious matters in the future."

"..."

Seeing he still ignored her, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but get closer, reaching out to shake his arm, "Okay, I was wrong. I will not bring up his matters again, alright?"

Hearing Ji Yunhuan’s words, Qi Cheng couldn’t help but glance at her, "You never remember what you have said."

"When did I forget?"

"You said that when you were with me, you wouldn’t have anything to do with him. But now? You’re worried about him! As my wife, you worry about another man." His tone was full of jealousy.

Ji Yunhuan fell silent. If it weren’t for Auntie’s call requesting that day, she wouldn’t have cared about Bai Liyan’s matters.

She felt she had explained enough before and didn’t want to say more.

Qi Cheng saw her not explaining, and his eyes stared tightly at her; the air around them seemed to freeze.

The room door was slowly pushed open, and Yangyang walked in, seeing both Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng.

Ji Yunhuan withdrew her attention from Qi Cheng and looked at Yangyang, "Sweetheart, what brings you here?"

Yangyang walked in, and soon Ruirui followed. Ji Yunhuan then knew it was Ruirui who was looking for her.

She walked toward her two sons. Qi Cheng watched this scene and realized she always cared more about others than him. A feeling of helplessness flooded up. He said nothing, directly pushed open the door, and walked out, distancing himself from Ji Yunhuan.

Hearing him open the door and leave, Ji Yunhuan froze for a second. Of course, it was just a second before she didn’t care about him again. Qi Cheng loved to hold grudges against her; she was used to it. She would comfort him later.

Ruirui clapped his hands, wanting Ji Yunhuan to hold him, "Ma!"

Ji Yunhuan knew he wanted to call her mom but could only speak single syllables now. A few days ago, she heard it and was both surprised and delighted. Hearing it again now, her excitement had not diminished. She missed Yangyang’s growth stages but was lucky to watch Ruirui grow bit by bit...

Because she was too excited, Ji Yunhuan completely forgot to comfort Qi Cheng. When she woke up the next morning, covering her forehead, she remembered Mr. Qi had been mad at her the whole night and hadn’t spoken a word.

She looked around and saw Qi Cheng had left early. Fortunately, she set an alarm last night, so she wasn’t late like last time.

When she arrived at the office, she found Qi Cheng was also not there.

Assistant Gao called her over at the end of the day, "Madam, we have news about Mr. Bai."

Ji Yunhuan was very worried about Bai Liyan having an accident. Now hearing Assistant Gao mention this, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Where is he?"

"At a hotel. I don’t know what he is doing, but he is safe, that’s for sure."

Ji Yunhuan walked out of the company, glanced at Assistant Gao, "If you’re free now, come with me to see him?"

"Alright."

Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to go alone, fearing that Qi Cheng would become suspicious again. She called Assistant Gao for transparency, proving her innocence. Even if Qi Cheng wanted to slander her, she would have a witness.

At the hotel, Ji Yunhuan, accompanied by Assistant Gao, went to Bai Liyan’s room door and knocked. Soon, the door opened, and Bai Liyan appeared at the door. He wore only a shirt, looking still neat and tidy, with no sign of the disheveled appearance she had imagined. It seemed he wasn’t hiding there in despair.

Seeing this, Ji Yunhuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Liyan was somewhat surprised to see her, "Why did you come over?"

"Are you seriously asking me? It’s tough trying to find you." Ji Yunhuan saw him blocking the door and said, "What? Hiding a woman inside and not letting me in?"

"Come in." Bai Liyan stepped aside, Assistant Gao nodding to him and following her in.

In the room, Ji Yunhuan looked around and found only him inside, no one else. Curious, she asked, "Have you been staying here these days?"

"Occasionally."

"And the other times?" Ji Yunhuan sat down on the sofa, looking at him. Bai Liyan sat down next to her, "Are you so concerned about my matters?"

"Do you think I want to care? Auntie said you hadn’t contacted the family for a long time and asked me to find you. I almost had to issue a missing person notice." Seeing him safe and sound, she felt relieved.

But seeing him silent, she found it unusual, "When did you become so irresponsible? Don’t you know the family would worry about you?"

"I know. I’ll call her." Bai Liyan said.

"Why can’t you be reached by phone?"

"My phone broke."

"And the renowned Director Bai can’t get a new phone?"

"Sometimes, people want to disappear suddenly, to see who cares about them." He looked at Ji Yunhuan. A slight smile flashed in his eyes, seemingly pleased by her visit, "I thought you wouldn’t care about me at all."

"..." This question embarrassed Ji Yunhuan. She found it tricky to communicate with him and stood up, "Seeing you’re alright, I’ll leave now. I’m quite busy too!"

She had children waiting for her at home. She didn’t want to stay outside longer than necessary every day. Coming home late would make the extremely jealous Qi Cheng even more jealous.

Seeing Ji Yunhuan about to leave, Bai Liyan didn’t stop her. Assistant Gao followed her out of the hotel room.
