Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 621: Invite Her to the Rooftop_1

At least Big Brother and Qi Cheng had been searching for so long. They didn’t find any trace of Ji Yunhuan at all.

Ji Yunhuan’s hand was much better now. She squatted on the grass, teaching Ruirui to walk...

Bai Liyan stood by her side, watching her. These days, she was particularly silent, not wanting to talk to anyone, and she didn’t want to pay attention to him.

He couldn’t help but think about what happened that night...

Facing Ji Yunhuan in his bed, he was indeed very moved. He almost didn’t control himself. Until now, he still remembered the alluring scent on her body.

But, no matter how drunk, no matter how confused he was, he still understood one thing: In her heart, there was no place for him. If he really touched her, she would get angry and furious!

Moreover, he loved this woman. What he wanted was neither a one-night stand with her nor possessing her body.

If he could win her heart, he would feel very happy. But even if he couldn’t get it, he wouldn’t deign to offend her in such a way.

So, in the end, even though he impulsively tore her clothes, he still used his strong self-control to suppress the urge to want her. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

That night, he didn’t know how many cold showers he took before he made it to dawn. Ji Yunhuan’s fragrance lingered in his mind like a drug. But to keep her from hating him, he endured for a long time.

However, in the morning, when she woke up, he clearly knew she misunderstood, yet he still didn’t explain to her. Because he wanted to see if it really happened, what her attitude would be.

As a result, her reaction made him feel very heartbroken.

A servant came over and said, "Mr. Bai, our master invites you to the shooting range."

"Not interested." Since that day, Bai Liyan had rarely interacted with Zhou Yixiu. Although trapped here, he seemed extremely calm, as if he wasn’t in a hurry to leave.

Just as Zhou Yixiu said, after going back, Ji Yunhuan would return to Qi Cheng’s side. But staying here, he could still see more of Ji Yunhuan.

So, even though Zhou Yixiu kept him here, his mood was unprecedentedly peaceful.

Not long after, Zhou Yixiu’s voice sounded behind him, "Mr. Bai, you are getting harder to invite. To see you, I even have to come personally."

Bai Liyan’s gaze never left Ji Yunhuan, and hearing Zhou Yixiu’s words, he coldly said, "For someone like you who doesn’t keep their word, I have nothing to say."

Zhou Yixiu stood beside him, looking at him, "Do you really think so?"

Bai Liyan didn’t reply.

Zhou Yixiu glanced at Ji Yunhuan on the grass and said with a smile, "With your personality, Young Master Bai, if you really wanted to leave here, could I stop you? The point is you don’t want to leave at all. Because you know very well, by inviting Ms. Ji here, I gave you a chance, didn’t I?"

Bai Liyan’s dark eyes looked at Ji Yunhuan. Maybe it was like this. Even if threatened by Zhou Yixiu, he felt that being by her side was a happy thing. At least, there was no Qi Cheng here.

He and Qi Cheng had been brothers for many years. He didn’t have the courage to compete with Qi Cheng for Ji Yunhuan.

Seeing that he didn’t deny it, Zhou Yixiu smiled and said, "You don’t need to feel guilty. Who wouldn’t have a bit of selfishness when facing someone they like? You helped me with the vice president’s surgery. I can’t let you go home empty-handed, right?"

"Get lost."

"Qi Cheng will be here soon. Seize the opportunity." Zhou Yixiu took a meaningful look at Ji Yunhuan. If she wasn’t the woman Bai Liyan liked...

He flicked his cigarette ash and walked away with a smile.

In the afternoon, Ji Yunhuan came downstairs with Ruirui for dinner and saw Bai Liyan just coming out of the kitchen. Seeing him so busy, Ji Yunhuan sat down quietly without saying a word.

Bai Liyan sat down at the dining table, placed her and Ruirui’s dinner in front of them, and said, "Zhou Yixiu and his wife went out. They might not come back for a while."

Hearing this, Ji Yunhuan gloomily replied, "Hmm."

Since that incident, she felt awkward every time she saw Bai Liyan. Even if he sat in front of her, she rarely looked at him directly.

Seeing her keep her head down, Bai Liyan said, "About that night..."

"Don’t mention that night." Ji Yunhuan said, "That night was my fault. I shouldn’t have let my guard down. I shouldn’t have let myself get drugged. And I shouldn’t have been sent to your room. It’s all my fault. So I just hope you don’t bring it up again."

From her expression and tone, it was clear she was still brooding over that night.

Bai Liyan said, "I heard there will be a meteor shower tonight. Let’s watch it together!"

"No need." How could she be in the mood for such things now?

"Don’t you want to know what really happened that night?"

Bai Liyan’s words made Ji Yunhuan pause. She finally looked at him, "Are you going to tell me that nothing happened that night?"

But, given the situation, and Bai Liyan being drunk, she didn’t believe it.

Moreover, that night, he must have kissed her. The kiss marks were the evidence.

"I’ll wait for you on the rooftop tonight." It was autumn now. The night wind on the rooftop was very cool.

After giving Ruirui a bath, Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to go. But that matter had been bothering her for days. She couldn’t stand not getting it clear.

Pushing open the rooftop door, she saw Bai Liyan standing there. His back was to her, and his shirt was fluttering in the wind.

Ji Yunhuan walked over and said, "Bai Liyan."

He turned to her and said, "Come here."

Ji Yunhuan wore a long dress. The wind blew the hem of her dress. She tightened her grip on the fabric and walked towards Bai Liyan.

After what happened that night, she felt awkward being alone with him.

Standing beside Bai Liyan, Ji Yunhuan looked at him and heard him say, "You see, the starry sky is beautiful tonight, isn’t it?"

Ji Yunhuan looked up at the sky. Since being locked up here, she hadn’t really looked up at the sky. The same sky, a different situation, only made people feel sad.

Bai Liyan reached out and grabbed her hand. Ji Yunhuan instinctively wanted to pull away, but he held her tight. She looked at him warily, "What are you doing?"

His actions made her feel deceived again.

Bai Liyan looked at her hand in his, "What do you think I’m doing? Taking advantage of you?"

His directness made Ji Yunhuan speechless.

Bai Liyan explained, "I’m afraid if I don’t hold your hand, you’ll think I’m lying again."

Ji Yunhuan stopped struggling and just wanted an answer.
