Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 600 Please Be More Polite_1

Bai Liyan was not the kind of impulsive person. Ji Yunhuan thought he wouldn’t do something so reckless.

Hearing Ji Yunhuan’s words, Bai Liyan helplessly raised the corner of his mouth, "So you still think that this matter is related to me. Do you think I ordered Zhou Yixiu to kidnap you?"

"Quite possibly."

It wasn’t that Ji Yunhuan didn’t trust him, but Bai Liyan’s presence aroused suspicion.

Bai Liyan put Ruirui down and stood up, sneering at Ji Yunhuan, "It’s okay if you think of me that way. I admit I like you, but I have never used despicable means, at least not now. Because I understand well that a forced melon is not sweet. Sure, my arrival here was sudden, but it was only because I was too worried about you! Zhou Yixiu threatened me with you. He is very complicated, even I am not sure to what extent he will go. For me, the thing I most wanted to do was to see you, to be by your side, at least to ensure your safety. But I didn’t expect that upon seeing you, this is what you would think of me."

Ruirui started crawling on the sofa again. Although Bai Liyan’s voice was not loud, it seemed amplified like through a microphone into Ji Yunhuan’s ears.

Ji Yunhuan stared at his somewhat cold face. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

In such a predicament, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but suspect those around her. She feared everyone was an enemy, making her more sensitive.

Bai Liyan, on the other hand, felt disappointed by her suspicion. Clearly, before she was with Qi Cheng, she trusted him.

At this moment, a servant pushed open the door, saw Bai Liyan, and said, "Mr. Bai, you really are here! Mr. Zhou said you came over just now. You must be tired from traveling the past two days. You should get some rest. I didn’t expect you to come see Ms. Ji as soon as you arrived."

Not until the servant spoke did Ji Yunhuan notice Bai Liyan had a faint shadow of stubble on his chin, and his clothes were somewhat shabby. When she arrived that day, he was in the same state; all because Zhou Yixiu had made her go through many detours to avoid detection. So Bai Liyan came this way too?

Because he appeared suspicious, Zhou Yixiu made him go a longer route. Was this why he arrived a day later than her?

Bai Liyan glanced at Ji Yunhuan, seemingly hurt by her words, and walked out without saying anything.

Ji Yunhuan felt a stab of pain in her heart from his cold gaze.

She seemed to have made another mistake.

Seeing Bai Liyan leave, Ruirui crawled from one end of the sofa to the other, seemingly eager to run out with him. It was clear the little guy recognized people and could tell apart familiar ones.

He sat on the sofa, pointing at Bai Liyan’s departing figure, calling out to Ji Yunhuan as if expecting her to take him out too.

The servant didn’t stay long, tightly following behind Bai Liyan, leaving Ji Yunhuan’s place. Upon exiting, seeing Bai Liyan’s stern demeanor, the servant didn’t dare say much.

After a while, Ji Yunhuan hugged Ruirui and went downstairs. Zhou Yixiu was still in pajamas today. He came back late last night and got up late today. His face, unknown to who had beaten him, had two black-and-blue marks. He was holding an ice pack to reduce the swelling.

Ji Yunhuan curiously asked, "Mr. Zhou, who beat you up so badly?"

Zhou Yixiu glanced at her, unbothered, "I heard you argued with Bai Liyan?"

"So what?" Ji Yunhuan thought perhaps Bai Liyan had beaten him when he mentioned this.

Zhou Yixiu said, "Of course, you made him angry. He came to beat me. How aggrieved am I?"

Sure enough, Ji Yunhuan wasn’t annoyed. She said, "You totally deserved it."

Zhou Yixiu stood up and walked toward Ji Yunhuan, "It’s not that bad. I don’t mind taking some grievances as long as I achieve my goal. Actually, Bai Liyan is deeply in love with you. There were rumors outside that he was not interested in women, but when he knew you were coming here, he rushed over immediately. This shows how deeply he feels for you."

"You know clearly that I have nothing with him. Why use me to make things difficult for him?" Ji Yunhuan could see that it wasn’t easy for Bai Liyan to move out from his feelings for her, but she didn’t expect Zhou Yixiu to intervene.

"There’s no other way. Many women in this world, but you alone touched his heart. Hasn’t anyone told you, being beautiful is also a sin?" Zhou Yixiu gently lifted a strand of her hair, looking at her exquisite face, "Who told you to be so beautiful?"

Ji Yunhuan pushed his hand away, about to slap him, but a servant timely stopped her, "Ms. Ji, please be polite!"

Ji Yunhuan withdrew her hand, staring at Zhou Yixiu, "Mr. Zhou better show some respect. Otherwise, once Qi Cheng knows I’m here with you, you’ll be the one to suffer."

Although the Qi Family and the other three families were collectively known as the four great families, their power was unmatched.

Zhou Yixiu smiled, "That may not necessarily be. I heard Mr. Qi Sr. is ill. He’s already someone near death’s door. Perhaps this time he fell ill, and he may never wake up again. By then, who knows what would happen to the Qi Family, and who would care whether you live or die?"

"What did you say? Grandpa is ill?" Ji Yunhuan frowned. Wasn’t he fine before?

"It seems you don’t know?" Zhou Yixiu looked at Ji Yunhuan, "Now that you know, you should be more obedient. Otherwise, you... and your child... you may be Dr. Bai’s favorite, but your child is not."

His dangerous gaze fell on Ruirui. Ji Yunhuan immediately hugged Ruirui tightly, glaring at Zhou Yixiu, "What do you want?"

"Don’t worry, as long as Dr. Bai obediently cooperates with me, you’ll be fine. Of course, you should also humor him more, as he controls your and your child’s lives. If he leaves from here, I can’t guarantee your and your little lord’s safe return to City A." Although he was smiling while saying this, it sent a chill down Ji Yunhuan’s spine.

"You dare!" Ji Yunhuan glared at him angrily.

Zhou Yixiu smiled, tossed the ice pack aside, and walked away. The servants followed him, leaving Ji Yunhuan looking at her cluelessly staring Ruirui in her arms.

Ji Yunhuan gently looked at the child and softly stroked his smooth hair. Ruirui’s hair was soft and not prickly at all. She suddenly realized that Zhou Yixiu didn’t keep the child with her to accompany her but to use him as leverage... That’s why he took the opportunity when she was out with Ruirui to kidnap her here.

"Dr. Bai." The servant’s voice rang from behind. Ji Yunhuan turned back and saw Bai Liyan just coming downstairs with the servant following him. He had changed his clothes.

Ruirui cheered as soon as he saw him.
