Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 608: Official Affairs_1

"No." Qi Cheng regretted saying, if he had any, he wouldn’t have come here to inquire about Bai Liyan.

Uncle Bai guessed from Qi Cheng’s expression, "Do you think Liyan took Yunhuan?"

He could tell that Qi Cheng had no interest in anything other than Ji Yunhuan at the moment.

Qi Cheng said, "Liyan likes Yunhuan, so I think it’s very possible."

Aunt Bai said, "This shouldn’t be the case. Liyan isn’t such a headstrong child. He has always considered you his best friend. However... If Yunhuan is really with him, we would be relieved. We just fear that might not be the case..."

At this thought, Aunt Bai also became saddened, "Such a good family, how did this happen?"

Aunt Bai had always been gentle and not much of a liar. Seeing her worried face, Qi Cheng believed she really didn’t know, "Sorry to disturb you."

Watching him walk away, Aunt Bai couldn’t help but sigh.

Qi Cheng went upstairs to see his grandfather. His grandfather had already fallen asleep. He was only awake for a short while when Qi Cheng was not around.

Qi Cheng stayed in the room for a while, then walked out. Assistant Gao came over and called him, "Sir, Mr. Zhou is here."

"What does his coming have to do with me?" Qi Cheng had a terrible headache.

Assistant Gao said, "Didn’t Mr. Bai disappear for a few days before? I heard from Madam that he was very close to Mr. Zhou, so I thought maybe we could get some information about Mr. Bai or Madam from him."

Of course, this was just a hunch; he wasn’t sure if Zhou Yixiu really knew anything.

Hearing this, Qi Cheng glanced at Zhou Yixiu, who had just come up from downstairs. He was with Lin Zhenyu. She was holding his arm, and they appeared very affectionate.

After Zhou Yixiu and Lin Zhenyu visited the grandfather, they came to the hall, where Qi Cheng called them.

"Excuse me."

Although unsure if this was an opportunity, to Qi Cheng, who felt like a headless fly at the moment, having no news was better than missing any possibility.

Seeing it was Qi Cheng, Zhou Yixiu smiled kindly, "Qi Cheng."

Since he was a bit older than Qi Cheng, he called him by his first name. Moreover, Qi Cheng was almost his brother-in-law, so the address did not need to be too formal.

Qi Cheng stood in front of Zhou Yixiu, hiding his anxious look, and asked, "I heard you’ve been very close to Liyan recently for two days. Do you know where he is now?"

"Liyan?" Zhou Yixiu smiled, "I was indeed looking to cooperate with him, but he refused."

"Do you know where he is now?" Qi Cheng’s intuition told him Zhou Yixiu should know.

Zhou Yixiu said, "I saw him two days ago."

"Are you sure it was two days ago? What time exactly?"

"Two days ago," Zhou Yixiu said, "I saw him from afar, not sure if it was really him. But... I think Mr. Qi might not want to hear about him."

"Why?" Ji Yunhuan had been missing for several days, and Bai Liyan had also been missing for several days...

Zhou Yixiu had seen Bai Liyan two days ago!

Hope ignited in Qi Cheng’s heart.

Zhou Yixiu said, "I only saw him from a distance. There was a woman and a child with him... I felt familiar the first time I saw them. Now seeing you, I realize the woman seems to be your wife. But I thought I must have been mistaken because I was busy and far away. Being rejected by Bai Liyan earlier, I wasn’t in the mood to greet him."

He looked at Qi Cheng curiously, saying perfectly, "I heard you and Liyan are very close. Why are you asking me about him?"

"Are you sure you saw them together?" Qi Cheng’s face wasn’t just unpleasant anymore. Was it really as he thought?

Zhou Yixiu said, "I said I wasn’t sure."

"Where did you see them?"

"In T City. I had a meeting there that day." After leaving the villa, Zhou Yixiu did go to T City for a meeting before returning to C City.

Qi Cheng and his team had traced the vehicle that kidnapped Ji Yunhuan to the cities around T City. Could it be... really?

Seeing Qi Cheng in a daze, Zhou Yixiu said, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first."

Lin Zhenyu glanced at Qi Cheng with a sympathetic look and walked away. On the car, she curiously asked Zhou Yixiu, "Honey, did you really see Bai Liyan and Ji Yunhuan together?"

How pitiful would Qi Cheng be! But he deserved it. Who told him to choose the bitch Ji Yunhuan over Lin Xiang back then.

Zhou Yixiu was savoring Qi Cheng’s reaction, guessing Qi Cheng must be feeling terrible inside. When he thought Bai Liyan and Ji Yunhuan eloped, he might decide to give up. That way, Zhou Yixiu would have fewer worries and wouldn’t have to be as cautious every day.

Hearing Lin Zhenyu’s words, he couldn’t help but glance at her, "Since when did you become so curious about other people’s business?"

"You haven’t been in C City recently, so you probably don’t know. I heard Ji Yunhuan and her son went missing, kidnapped by someone. Qi Cheng has been looking for them everywhere, even ignoring his grandfather’s illness."

Zhou Yixiu already knew this, but he still put on an ’I see’ expression after hearing Lin Zhenyu’s words.

Lin Zhenyu said, "I called you a few days ago, and you said you were busy. I thought you wouldn’t come back anytime soon. Why did you come back suddenly?"

"Mr. Qi Sr. is ill. How could I not come to visit?" Zhou Yixiu looked at Lin Zhenyu, and she smiled at him, "If you didn’t say that, I would have thought you came back specially to spend Qixi Festival with me."

"Is it Qixi Festival now?" He never celebrated such meaningless holidays and didn’t even know the specific date.

Hearing his words, Lin Zhenyu felt a bit disappointed, "Sigh, we’ve been married for so many years, and you’ve never remembered it."

Zhou Yixiu looked at her and said, "If you want something, just buy it yourself."

"So I can buy a man if I want?" she jokingly said.

Zhou Yixiu’s fingers pinched her chin, "Except for that! If I find out you have a man outside, you know the consequences."

With his status, his wife cheating would be a disgrace.

Lin Zhenyu knew he had a bad temper and quickly pleased him, "How could I possibly have a man outside? From the beginning to now, there’s only ever been you in my heart."

Even though Zhou Yixiu was often away and their marital life was sparse, and every time in bed felt like a routine, she dared not have any other thoughts.

Although, as a woman, it felt pathetic, she had to endure it all to maintain appearances in public.
