Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 629: Drive Her Out of the Hospital 2_1
"You’ll take my place?" Ji Yunhuan looked at Bai Liyan in surprise. His expression was very serious and didn’t look like he was joking.
But how did he plan to help her?
He held her hand and said, "Now, I want you to come back with me."
Ji Yunhuan was dragged into the car by him.
On the other side, Qi Cheng sat in the car, watching this scene with icy cold eyes, full of frost...
He just knew she couldn’t leave Bai Liyan. She had just been clamoring to see the child and, in the blink of an eye, ran off with Bai Liyan. Such a woman, in the future, he didn’t want her!
"Sir, can we go now?" The driver asked Qi Cheng curiously.
Qi Cheng said, "Drive."
In his eyes, it wasn’t worth wasting energy on a woman like this.
He had given her everything. She didn’t cherish it; he didn’t want to continue wasting emotions on her.
Bai Liyan drove the car, taking Ji Yunhuan away from the hospital. Wen Nuan had already gone back to her own home first. Bai Liyan entered the house ahead and turned on the lights, saying to Ji Yunhuan, "Come in."
He had been living here for a few days, treating it like his own home.
Ji Yunhuan followed behind him but felt like a guest instead.
The white light in the room lit up her listless face. Bai Liyan glanced at her and said, "Just sleep tonight and stop thinking about the child. Yunhuan, you need a good night’s sleep."
Ever since she came back from Huai Xi, she mostly stayed in bed, but she wasn’t sleeping. She was in a daze. He knew her too well.
Ji Yunhuan found Bai Liyan particularly assertive tonight. She had no choice but to go upstairs, take a bath, and lie on the bed. Bai Liyan came in not long after, bringing her a glass of milk.
Ever since that night at Huai Xi Villa when she had been drugged, Ji Yunhuan hadn’t had a good impression of these drinks.
Bai Liyan seemed to read her thoughts, "I won’t drug you."
"I didn’t think that," Ji Yunhuan reached out and took the drink, looking at him awkwardly. She found that when Bai Liyan was serious, he could be even scarier than Qi Cheng.
She finished the milk and handed the glass back to Bai Liyan, "You should leave. I can’t sleep with you here."
She wanted to sleep early, to lock herself in darkness sooner. It seemed like this would make her feel more at peace and help her temporarily forget the unhappy things.
On ordinary days, if she said this, Bai Liyan would leave. But today, he didn’t move and still sat beside her, watching her.
Ji Yunhuan felt uncomfortable being stared at, "Bai Liyan."
"Don’t keep thinking about Qi Cheng. Occasionally, look at me. I’m not worse than him. Everything he can do for you, I can do too." His domineering tone stunned Ji Yunhuan for a moment.
"Why are you doing this? You know I will only let you down."
"It doesn’t matter. Qi Cheng can soften your heart. Why can’t I?" Bai Liyan thought about it, feeling that the reason Ji Yunhuan could never let go of Qi Cheng was simply that he loved to avoid things too much. If he, too, could be a bit more proactive like Qi Cheng, how could he be inferior to Qi Cheng?
Ji Yunhuan closed her eyes and said nothing.
She was really exhausted today and deeply hurt by Qi Cheng. She didn’t want to think about these complicated issues. She also understood that Bai Liyan at this moment wasn’t someone she could brush off with just a couple of refusals.
Since she came back here, she always wanted to avoid Bai Liyan. But no matter what she said or how cold she was to him, he never left.
He always slept later than her, woke earlier than her. It seemed like he never got tired, never needed sleep.
Bai Liyan was always carefully watching over her, afraid she would suddenly disappear.
She didn’t know when Bai Liyan had left.
When Ji Yunhuan opened her eyes in the morning, it was already light.
There was a new pot of green plants by the window, freshly planted. She stood up and looked at the bit of green growing from the soil, lost in thought for a moment.
After a night’s sleep, she seemed to feel much better. She went downstairs, and Bai Liyan was sitting at the table, putting a SIM card into a new phone.
Seeing her come, Bai Liyan smiled at her, "Awake?"
Ji Yunhuan nodded, walking towards the dining room. As expected, Bai Liyan had already made her breakfast. She didn’t stand on ceremony, sitting down. Bai Liyan came over and handed her the new phone, "This is for you."
Ji Yunhuan looked at the new phone. She didn’t seem to need such a thing, but it was indeed inconvenient without a phone. So she took it, "Thank you."
"It’s for keeping in touch with you," he said. Otherwise, every time you ran somewhere, I had to search for you slowly. Luckily, you usually didn’t run around much, there were just a few places you would go.
Ji Yunhuan put a piece of bread in her mouth.
Bai Liyan said to her, "I contacted the hospital. Ruirui’s fever has gone down. Don’t worry too much."
Hearing this, Ji Yunhuan’s serious expression softened a bit, "Thank you."
She couldn’t see Ruirui, but at least she knew he was getting better.
"These days, stay with Wen Nuan as she prepares the shop. You have shares in the restaurant, you should help manage it a bit," Bai Liyan arranged like a housekeeper.
Ji Yunhuan looked at him, "What about you?"
"I have my own things to do."
"Oh," Ji Yunhuan didn’t press him about what he wanted to do.
Seeing her quiet, Bai Liyan said to her, "Yunhuan, if I can help you get Ruirui back, will you marry me?"
Ji Yunhuan paused. She hadn’t expected Bai Liyan to bring this up.
But thinking about Qi Cheng’s reaction, she said, "Qi Cheng won’t give me Ruirui."
"These problems aren’t your concern. You only need to consider whether you would agree to my proposal," Bai Liyan said, "I really want you to be with me. Maybe you’ll find that I’m more suitable for you than Qi Cheng."
When she got to the shop, Ji Yunhuan was still thinking about Bai Liyan’s words.
Being hurt by Qi Cheng like this, she didn’t want to think about love anymore. But if Bai Liyan could bring Ruirui back and wanted her to marry him, she had no other choice.
She always thought she should stay loyal to Qi Cheng’s world, but she might never be able to leave.
After being hurt for so long, maybe it was time for her to wake up.
While Ji Yunhuan and Wen Nuan were at the shop, Bai Liyan arranged a meeting with Qi Cheng.
Since coming back from Huai Xi, he hadn’t contacted Qi Cheng, knowing Qi Cheng was angry. He didn’t want to add to that.
But when he took the initiative to meet Qi Cheng, Qi Cheng didn’t refuse.
The relationship between the two families was too good. Even if Qi Cheng didn’t want to see him, they would inevitably meet.
In the coffee shop, except for the two of them, there was no one else. Qi Cheng looked at Bai Liyan, who appeared in front of him, and couldn’t help but admire his courage, "Aren’t you afraid I will kill you?"
"You won’t," Bai Liyan said, "Even if Yunhuan hadn’t stopped you that day, you wouldn’t have."
