Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 613 Zhou Yixiu Has Returned_1

When they got upstairs, Ji Yunhuan closed the door and finally breathed a temporary sigh of relief.

But she knew that even if she managed to avoid today, she couldn’t avoid tomorrow...

Lin Zhenyu would always find a way to deal with her.

Ji Yunhuan felt anxious and troubled in the room.

Later, a servant came up to call her, "Ms. Ji, dinner is ready. Please bring the child down to eat."

"No need. Just bring it up to me." Going down would mean running into Lin Zhenyu.

Although Ji Yunhuan knew hiding here felt cowardly, she couldn’t help it. Her hands hadn’t fully healed. Even if the other servants didn’t help, she would still have a hard time fighting Lin Zhenyu. Moreover, the servants all listened to Lin Zhenyu.

The servant stood outside with a troubled look, "But Madam won’t allow me to bring it up."

"... Then I won’t eat." Ji Yunhuan sighed. Luckily, there was milk prepared for Ruirui in the room. As long as the child wasn’t hungry, she didn’t mind.

The servant replied helplessly, "Alright then."

Then the servant left.

Ruirui had already fallen asleep, lying on the sofa. Ji Yunhuan sat beside him, looking at him. She didn’t want anything now, just hoped the child would be well and hold on until Bai Liyan returned...

But she, too, started feeling hungry. She sat on the sofa helplessly, staring at Ruirui until she slowly fell asleep herself.

Until she heard the sound of a key turning in the door...

She woke up startled from her dream.

It seemed she couldn’t escape Lin Zhenyu even if she didn’t eat!

Lin Zhenyu had come to find her and had a servant use the key to open the door!

Ji Yunhuan was contemplating how to respond when the door opened, and the person standing at the door surprised her.

It was Zhou Yixiu!

Seeing Ji Yunhuan’s panicked look, Zhou Yixiu said unexpectedly, "Haven’t seen you for a few days, and you still fear me this much?"

Seeing it was him, Ji Yunhuan felt relieved instead, "Why are you here?"

"The servants said you refused to eat. I knocked on the door and didn’t get a response, so I came to check. Your health is directly related to Mr. Bai’s mood. I can’t neglect that." He walked in, his gaze falling on Ruirui. "You didn’t let the child eat either?"

Feeling uncomfortable with his concern, Ji Yunhuan was oddly reassured because Lin Zhenyu wouldn’t be able to have free rein with him around.

Ji Yunhuan glanced at Ruirui, "He’s asleep and hasn’t woken up."

Just as she said that, Ruirui woke up.

"Let’s go down for dinner." Zhou Yixiu walked over to pick up Ruirui, showing his fondness for the child.

Ji Yunhuan looked at him defensively, "You don’t need to."

Zhou Yixiu said, "I told you I wouldn’t harm you or the child."

"I don’t trust you." Ji Yunhuan turned to the servant who had been with her the longest, "You come hold him."

Her hands couldn’t manage it. The servant quickly came over, picking up Ruirui. Over the past few days, they had grown familiar. Ruirui didn’t resist being held by the servant.

Zhou Yixiu led the way, saying to Ji Yunhuan, "Can we go now?"

Ji Yunhuan followed him out. She indeed felt hungry, with the servant holding Ruirui walking behind her.

Ji Yunhuan looked at Zhou Yixiu, "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t come here until Bai Liyan returned?"

She didn’t know whether to be happy or sad about his arrival.

His presence signified more turmoil in her life and constant anxiety.

Zhou Yixiu glanced at her, "Seems like next time I come home, I should inform you first?"

He was mainly worried Lin Zhenyu would interfere with his plans.

He hadn’t planned on letting Lin Zhenyu know, but she had come on her own.

Ji Yunhuan heard his response but stayed silent.

They reached downstairs to find Lin Zhenyu sitting at the dining table. Seeing Zhou Yixiu enter the dining area, she quickly stood up, "Husband." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

She hadn’t expected Zhou Yixiu to arrive so quickly.

Ji Yunhuan, following Zhou Yixiu, felt uncomfortable seeing the couple, but she had to face them.

Seeing Lin Zhenyu sweetly link arms with Zhou Yixiu, Ji Yunhuan scornfully laughed inside. The difference in this woman’s demeanor was staggering.

The three sat at the dining table, Lin Zhenyu looked at Ji Yunhuan, saying warmly, "I just had someone invite Ms. Ji to dinner, but Ms. Ji refused to come down. Ms. Ji, you need my husband to invite you personally."

Ji Yunhuan, focusing on her son, heard Lin Zhenyu’s words and felt it would be impolite not to respond. She glanced at Lin Zhenyu, "Mr. Zhou forcibly invited me here as a guest. It’s natural for him to come and invite me."

Lin Zhenyu scoffed, "You’re the only one he personally invites."

Ji Yunhuan knew how esteemed Zhou Yixiu was. Glancing at him, she felt disdain. She didn’t need his invitation. She wished she could leave here forever and never see this man again.

Ji Yunhuan said, "As long as I’m here, even if Mr. Zhou invites me or if Madam Zhou invites me, it should be expected."

Lin Zhenyu felt infuriated. Though her words were meant to mock, Ji Yunhuan responded nonchalantly, as if receiving praise. Lin Zhenyu couldn’t help looking at Zhou Yixiu, who remained calm, showing no sign of offense from Ji Yunhuan’s words.

She looked at Zhou Yixiu’s neck, concerned, "Husband, I heard the injury on your neck was caused by her?"

Hearing this, Ji Yunhuan felt tense. Though that matter was resolved, she feared Zhou Yixiu would bring it up now, especially with Bai Liyan not around.

Zhou Yixiu calmly replied, "It’s just a minor injury. It’s nothing serious."

"Even minor injuries matter. How could you tolerate her doing that to you!" Lin Zhenyu thought Ji Yunhuan was despicable.

Zhou Yixiu looked at Ji Yunhuan, wondering where she got the nerve to confront Lin Zhenyu now. Still, on Bai Liyan’s behalf, he had promised not to trouble her.

Zhou Yixiu smiled, "Ms. Ji is a guest and Mr. Bai’s favorite. I wouldn’t hold a little thing like this against her."

Ji Yunhuan looked at Lin Zhenyu and saw her looking displeased.

Understandably, Lin Zhenyu cherished Zhou Yixiu, and he seemed indifferent. How could she not be upset?

But since Zhou Yixiu chose not to pursue it, Lin Zhenyu couldn’t do anything about it in front of him.

Seeing Lin Zhenyu so dejected, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but smile, "Although there was some conflict with Madam Zhou before, you don’t have to hold a grudge against me, right? Always wanting me to suffer. What good does it do for you?"
