Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 594: Just as I’m Also Tired_1

The door had just closed when a man walked out of the bathroom with a meaningful smile on his face. "You just said she wouldn’t be worried about you, yet here she is, showing her concern."

Bai Liyan coldly lifted the coffee cup on the table. "It’s just a friend’s concern. What are you thinking?"

"Don’t all relationships between men and women start with friendship?" Zhou Yixiu walked out, looking at Bai Liyan. "Why don’t you consider my opinion? You love this woman. Every time you see her, you become a different person."

"Why don’t I feel that way?" There was no softness in Bai Liyan’s expression.

"That’s because you’re deceiving yourself!"

"I want you to get the hell out of my room!" Bai Liyan showed no sign of welcoming Zhou Yixiu. This man had nothing better to do than come here every day to ridicule him.

But Zhou Yixiu didn’t give up. "I won’t give up as long as you don’t agree to my request. Agreeing to this won’t be difficult for you, and you’ll benefit from it."

"I’ve said it before, this is a matter of principle. I won’t break my principles for you! Furthermore, if I really wanted to win her, do you think I need your help?" The Bai family was no less powerful than the Zhou family. Bai Liyan didn’t feel the need to bow to Zhou Yixiu, nor did he want to join forces and be exploited by him.

"But you don’t dare. When facing your best friend, you feel guilty..."

Before Zhou Yixiu could finish, Bai Liyan gave him a fierce glare. Zhou Yixiu shut his mouth, raised the corners of his thin lips helplessly, and conceded, "Fine, I won’t say anymore. I’ve said what I needed to say. Think it over. I will come back."

After saying this, Zhou Yixiu left. Bai Liyan sat down on the sofa, holding his forehead with his hand. These days, he had stayed here, reluctant to go out. He was practically cut off from the world. One reason was not wanting to see Zhou Yixiu, and the other was fearing to see Ji Yunhuan. In the end, however... both of them found him.

Downstairs, just as Ji Yunhuan followed Assistant Gao to the hotel entrance, she saw Qi Cheng getting out of a car. Seeing him, her steps faltered. She bit her lip and walked toward him. "What are you doing here?"

Qi Cheng stopped in his tracks, scrutinizing her and Assistant Gao beside her. "I should be the one asking you. What are you doing here?"

"Uh..." Ji Yunhuan was about to make an excuse when Qi Cheng already answered for her. "You knew Bai Liyan was here and came specifically to see him?"

"You knew Bai Liyan was here too?" Ji Yunhuan thought he didn’t care about Bai Liyan’s affairs. It seemed he actually did. This man always contradicted himself, outwardly despising Bai Liyan but actually treating him as a friend. After all, how could their many years of friendship be ruined by her?

Hearing Ji Yunhuan’s words, Qi Cheng realized he had guessed right. Hearing this, his expression became grim. He initially intended to see Bai Liyan but now didn’t want to.

He gave Ji Yunhuan a cold glare and turned to leave.

Ji Yunhuan chased after him. "Why are you angry? I only came to check on him out of concern."

"You didn’t tell me about this!" Her mind was always on someone else. She didn’t even bother to comfort him when he was angry. Qi Cheng was truly fed up with a woman like this.

Ji Yunhuan said helplessly, "Isn’t it because you’re too jealous? Look at you now... I clearly let Assistant Gao come. I didn’t even go to see Bai Liyan myself, yet you got mad without asking for the details!"

"Fine, I’m petty, okay? It’s all my fault." He looked sullen. Seeing how unreasonable he was, Ji Yunhuan stopped in her tracks, looking at him coolly. Qi Cheng continued walking without intending to stop. Ji Yunhuan also got angry. "Go ahead! Qi Cheng, just get lost and don’t come back. I’m really tired of comforting you every day! Do you think I’m a child or what? Have you ever considered my feelings?"

Qi Cheng stopped when he heard her words.

Ji Yunhuan’s voice carried a hint of exhaustion. "Just leave then. I’m tired too. You get jealous over nothing, and even get mad."

How could he be so childish?

She understood that his possessiveness tortured him and that her past entanglements with Bai Liyan made it difficult for him to move past it. However, she was genuinely worried about Bai Liyan when she came here. Every time she did something, she took Qi Cheng’s feelings into account. Yet Qi Cheng only picked on her faults.

People were like this, gradually becoming greedy. When she was with Bai Liyan at the manor before, Qi Cheng had not asked for anything, just being by her side was enough. But now that he had her, his outlook changed.

Listening to Ji Yunhuan, Qi Cheng couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Ever since he learned that Bai Liyan liked Ji Yunhuan, he didn’t want to see her having any contact with Bai Liyan. Yet she always kept her thoughts on Bai Liyan.

He couldn’t stand seeing her care about Bai Liyan at all. But she insisted on paying attention to Bai Liyan...

Perhaps he was really too obsessed!

But he was genuinely scared that someday Bai Liyan would come to snatch her away.

He didn’t want to be in a position where he needed to confront his best friend for the woman he loved. He had experienced these feelings too many times before when Ji Yunhuan was with Bai Liyan.

So, he had become overly cautious and defensive out of fear.

As Qi Cheng wrestled with his inner struggles, Assistant Gao reminded him from the side. "Sir, madam has left."

"..." Qi Cheng turned around just in time to see Ji Yunhuan’s silhouette disappearing around the corner.

He sighed helplessly.

Ji Yunhuan kept walking, feeling overwhelmingly frustrated. It wasn’t long before she saw Qi Cheng’s car driving up beside her slowly. "Get in the car."

She ignored him and kept walking. Qi Cheng said, "Do you really want me to follow you like this?"

His car was in front, with his convoy following closely behind, which really affected the traffic on the main road.

Ji Yunhuan paid him no mind and turned directly into a nearby hair salon.

Ji Yunhuan immediately went in and had her hair washed. When she came out, she found that Qi Cheng and Assistant Gao had already taken over the hair salon. Qi Cheng stood silently at the side. Everyone in the salon looked bewildered at this suddenly appearing distinguished man. From his attire and demeanor, it was clear he had an extraordinary status.

After Ji Yunhuan came out, Qi Cheng’s gaze immediately fell on the boy washing her hair. Only he could wash his woman’s hair. How could another man do it?

Ji Yunhuan ignored him, found a place to sit down, and said, "Cut it shorter for me."
