Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 644 Men Should Not Make Women Upset_1
When Bai Liyan spoke so nonchalantly about not loving Ji Yunhuan, Qi Cheng felt a sharp pang in his heart. If he didn’t love her, why was he here suffering?
He glared at Bai Liyan, "What do you know?"
"Or are you in love with her? Do you think she would still want you now? No woman would forgive what you did to her over these days, let alone Ji Yunhuan," Bai Liyan said with certainty.
Qi Cheng looked at him and started laughing.
He didn’t even know why he was laughing.
Bai Liyan said, "And besides, Yunhuan can’t live without Ruirui. Until Ruirui grows up, let her stay with Yunhuan."
"Why?" He could accept losing Ji Yunhuan but now being asked for this outrageous favor? What did Bai Liyan take him for?
"Because I saved Ruirui twice. Once at the manor, once at Huai Xi. Twice, isn’t that enough?"
"Bai Liyan," Qi Cheng’s eyes grew cold, "I acknowledge the manor incident but not the one at Huai Xi. You and Zhou Yixiu had your scheme; you know this better than I do."
"Even if I told you that Zhou Yixiu and I have no ties, you wouldn’t believe it. I don’t want to explain."
"Your explanation would be useless," Qi Cheng said. "Zhou Yixiu came to City A yesterday. Didn’t you meet him? If he really kidnapped you, would you let him go?"
Bai Liyan frowned. He had met Zhou Yixiu yesterday and wanted revenge but...
He averted his gaze, "I have my plans."
"So, stop playing the martyr. You might deceive Ji Yunhuan, but you can’t fool me. In Huai Xi, you had the chance to save her and Ruirui but didn’t. You let Zhou Yixiu control you. How can I believe you? I’d sooner believe A’Liang will come back to life!" This is why Qi Cheng was angry at seeing Ji Yunhuan protect Bai Liyan.
Bai Liyan’s capabilities were clear to him. They grew up together, and many had targeted Bai Liyan over the years, but few could control him. It was clearly Bai Liyan’s choice to be controlled by Zhou Yixiu this time, aiming to get closer to Ji Yunhuan.
How could Qi Cheng not be furious? 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Not killing Bai Liyan that day showed he still had patience.
Watching Ji Yunhuan protect Bai Liyan made his heart ache even more. The woman who should belong to him was shielding another man.
Bai Liyan looked at Qi Cheng silently.
Qi Cheng smiled, "What, nothing to say?"
Bai Liyan said, "Even if I had my own selfish reasons back then, I never meant to hurt her."
"That doesn’t change your selfishness! Why pretend to be pitiful in front of her?" Qi Cheng looked at Bai Liyan coldly. "After all these years of brotherhood, you’re the one who wronged me, not the other way around. I don’t feel I’ve wronged you at all, but you... keep inserting yourself between her and me."
"..."
Qi Cheng looked at Bai Liyan, who remained silent, and laughed, "So, even if I want to be here, you can’t stop me."
With that, he entered the living room.
Bai Liyan stood in the courtyard, watching Qi Cheng stride into the house, clenching his fists unconsciously. He hated seeing Bai Liyan near Ji Yunhuan, but they had two children together. This was a fact he couldn’t change.
Regardless of how cruelly Qi Cheng treated Ji Yunhuan before, he could regain her trust through their children.
But...
The thought of the day Qi Cheng drove Ji Yunhuan out of the hospital made him never want to see her with Qi Cheng again. Even for the children’s sake, he couldn’t stand their complicated entanglement.
Ji Yunhuan was sitting in the dining room, seeing Bai Liyan walk out of the courtyard. She had no idea what the two men had talked about outside, stealing a glance at Qi Cheng, who had already sat at the dining table. The sudden proximity made her feel very uneasy.
"What did you say to Bai Liyan?" she asked, breaking the silence.
"Do you care that much?" Qi Cheng said contemptuously.
He hated Ji Yunhuan’s concern for Bai Liyan! Even after their divorce, this fact didn’t change.
"We’re already divorced. Isn’t it natural for me to care about others? And just now, I heard you tell him you had given me to him. I thought about it, and Bai Liyan is actually pretty good. As you thought before, it’s like I’m picking up a bargain. As a divorced woman, I must treat him well and seize the chance. What do you think?" The thought of him saying she was a woman he discarded made her heart ache.
She still cared too much about this man, otherwise, she wouldn’t be here saying such meaningless words.
Indeed, her words successfully riled Qi Cheng, "Do you think I want to be here! Since you don’t want to see Ruirui, I’ll take it as my mistake to come here today."
He got up, took Ruirui from her arms, and walked out.
Since she wanted to care for Bai Liyan, let her do as she pleased.
One was his best friend, and the other was the woman he loved the most. Neither of them ever considered his feelings.
Ji Yunhuan watched him take Ruirui away, while Ruirui kept calling her. She didn’t chase after them. After so many tries, he still wouldn’t let Ruirui stay even if she followed.
Yangyang watched from the side, "Mom."
Ji Yunhuan gently placed her hand on his head, "Be good, eat your meal."
She herself had lost her appetite.
"You’re not eating?"
"No, I’ll go change my clothes." Ji Yunhuan stood up and went upstairs.
Yangyang watched, left his chair, and ran out.
Qi Cheng had just put Ruirui in the car. Usually, when he took the child away, Ji Yunhuan would say cruel things to him. Today, she said nothing, making him feel uneasy deep down.
Lost in thought, he suddenly felt a kick on his foot. Looking down, he saw the little figure of Yangyang glaring at him with a serious face, "You are too bad."
"What did I do to you?" Qi Cheng picked Yangyang up, "You cheeky brat, daring to hit me?"
"You bully her, you’re bad." Yangyang glared at Qi Cheng, unwilling to accept it. Feeling too small and powerless!
Qi Cheng couldn’t help but laugh. He had hoped Yangyang would protect Ji Yunhuan before, but never expected him to protect her to this extent.
"Do you really love your mom that much?" It hadn’t been long. How did their relationship become so good?
"A man shouldn’t make a woman sad, you said so yourself. Have you forgotten?" When Yangyang didn’t behave, Qi Cheng taught him this. Now Qi Cheng couldn’t follow his own advice.
