Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 617: Forcing Them Together_1

He stood at the doorway and said, "There are plenty of servants here. If you do these chores yourself and Bai Liyan finds out, he might think I’m mistreating you."

"The person you need to explain to is you, not me." Ji Yunhuan rolled her eyes at him and asked someone to pack up the soup.

"Do you want to hear about Qi Cheng?" Zhou Yixiu suddenly said. Ji Yunhuan tensed up. She was always particularly sensitive when it came to Qi Cheng.

She turned to look at him, "Would you be so kind as to tell me?"

Zhou Yixiu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Of course. I’m always kind-hearted."

Although Ji Yunhuan tried hard to control her emotions, she still couldn’t hide the expectation in her eyes. Zhou Yixiu said, "Ms. Ji, your taste is really poor, isn’t it? In any case, Bai Liyan is much better than Qi Cheng. How did you end up choosing Qi Cheng?"

"I don’t know what you’re talking about." Was this man bored enough to play matchmaker for her and Bai Liyan?

"I just want to make a deal with you."

"What kind of deal?"

"You agree to be with Bai Liyan, and I’ll set you free."

"..." Ji Yunhuan glared at this man, "Are you out of your mind?"

"Just tell me whether you choose or not. This is your only chance to leave here."

"Then I would rather stay here and face a psychopath like you every day." She thought Zhou Yixiu was really insane, and the question he asked was ridiculous.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "So, you love me more?"

"In your dreams." Ji Yunhuan looked at him, "Does doing this benefit you?"

"Since Liyan has agreed to cooperate with me, I should at least do him some favors. After all, he likes you so much. This is my little gesture of goodwill as a partner." Zhou Yixiu spoke seriously.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Are you serious?"

"Of course."

"As long as I stay with Bai Liyan, you’ll let me go?" Oh, this was too easy for her!

She and Bai Liyan had been together before. Acting was something she found very easy.

"You’re willing?" Zhou Yixiu seemed a bit surprised.

"Why wouldn’t I be?"

"Alright then! When Bai Liyan returns, I’ll present him with a big gift. You have to perform well." Zhou Yixiu smiled but felt a sense of indescribable disappointment.

How should he say it?

He originally thought Ji Yunhuan wouldn’t agree no matter what, so he merely tested the waters. Now that she agreed so easily, he felt disappointed instead.

Maybe he felt this woman was different from what he had imagined.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard Ji Yunhuan ask, "Aren’t you going to tell me about Qi Cheng?"

"Now I suddenly don’t feel like it." His mood was spoiled by her.

"..."

-

Bai Liyan’s surgery went very smoothly, so Zhou Yixiu was also in a good mood.

A few days later in the afternoon, a servant walked into Ji Yunhuan’s room, "Ms. Ji, this is the dress that Mr. Zhou asked me to bring you."

"A dress?" Ji Yunhuan frowned, "Why is he giving me a dress?"

"I heard that Mr. Bai is coming back tonight, so he wants you to prepare."

The servant’s words reminded Ji Yunhuan of her conversation with Zhou Yixiu in the kitchen that day. Was he serious about her staying with Bai Liyan?

Ji Yunhuan looked at her hand, "How can I wear a dress with my hand like this?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the doctor came in, examined her arm, and said, "It can be put down now."

Previously, her arm had been suspended for immobilization. Now it could be taken down, and she could wear the dress.

Ji Yunhuan looked at her hand. It had indeed improved a lot in the past couple of days, but she didn’t dare to remove the support for fear of lasting injury.

The doctor assured her, "As long as you’re careful, there shouldn’t be any issues."

Ji Yunhuan felt Zhou Yixiu had gone to great lengths.

He wanted to present her as a gift to Bai Liyan!

Ji Yunhuan felt very sorry for Bai Liyan, having to accompany her in this act once more. He always seemed to end up performing in her dramas, and he had even taken it seriously. But now...

Looking at Ruirui beside her, Ji Yunhuan steeled herself. She was determined to leave here, no matter what it took.

The dress Zhou Yixiu sent was very form-fitting and sexy. Looking at herself in the mirror, she had to admit she really did look like a present!

Ji Yunhuan had a great figure, and it was hard to tell she was a mother of two.

However, she didn’t like this look at all and hated wearing such a backless dress. She casually grabbed a shawl to drape over herself; it was clearly meant to cover up, but it gave her a more graceful air.

She walked out and saw Zhou Yixiu standing at the door. When he saw her, his pupils noticeably enlarged, and he was momentarily stunned.

Although he had picked out the dress, he had never imagined that Ji Yunhuan, who had given birth to two children, could pull off such an effect.

The additional shawl actually added points to the dress. Though he wanted her to appear more alluring, seeing her like this felt... just right.

"Is Mr. Zhou satisfied?" Ji Yunhuan asked sarcastically when she saw he wasn’t speaking.

Seeing her cold expression, Zhou Yixiu laughed, "Mr. Bai should be very satisfied."

In the evening, the villa’s gates opened, and a procession of cars drove in. Zhou Yixiu, with Lin Zhenyu by his side, stood at the door waiting.

Zhou Yixiu personally opened the car door for Bai Liyan. As Bai Liyan stepped out, Zhou Yixiu greeted him with enthusiasm, "Welcome back, Dr. Bai. Thank you for your hard work these past days."

The stark contrast between Bai Liyan’s indifference and Zhou Yixiu’s enthusiasm was palpable. Bai Liyan walked straight into the living room, "I want to see Ji Yunhuan."

"Of course." Zhou Yixiu followed Bai Liyan into the living room. "I’ve kept my promise. She’s perfectly fine. No one dared to lay a finger on her."

Bai Liyan’s gaze fell on Lin Zhenyu, "Really?"

He didn’t believe Lin Zhenyu was that benign.

Zhou Yixiu glanced at Lin Zhenyu and said to Bai Liyan, "You’ll understand once you see Ms. Ji."

As soon as Bai Liyan entered the living room, he saw Ji Yunhuan walking down the stairs. She looked vastly different from her disheveled state when he left. Now, Ji Yunhuan was as beautiful as a goddess.

He paused. Zhou Yixiu, seeing Bai Liyan’s reaction, knew he was definitely impressed. Zhou Yixiu smiled and said, "See? I didn’t lie to you."

He secretly leaned toward Bai Liyan and whispered, "Ms. Ji has agreed to be with you. Make the most of it; I’ve done all I can."

Hearing Zhou Yixiu’s words, Bai Liyan concealed his surprise and looked at Zhou Yixiu with displeasure, "Have you forgotten what I said before?"

He had said he wasn’t interested in Ji Yunhuan and wouldn’t make a move on her.
