Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 664 The Person He Cares About the Most_1
He looked at Ruirui, standing at the window for an indeterminate amount of time, until Assistant Gao came to remind him, "Sir, Mr. Zhou invited you for tea. Shall we go?"
"Zhou Yixiu?"
"Yes."
Zhou Yixiu knew he had offended Qi Cheng before. Although the matter seemed to have passed, he still wanted to find a chance to apologize to Qi Cheng.
"Go. Why not?" Qi Cheng looked at Ruirui in his arms. The little one had been fussing for too long and now seemed utterly exhausted.
Qi Cheng carried Ruirui downstairs and handed him to the caretaker. He then instructed Assistant Gao, "Send Ruirui to Ji Yunhuan."
His suggestion stunned Assistant Gao for a moment: wasn’t he opposed to Ruirui being with Ji Yunhuan?
"Aren’t you afraid Ms. Ji will take Young Master Rui and leave?" And if Ruirui were with Ji Yunhuan, what excuse would Qi Cheng have to see Ji Yunhuan in the future?
"Can’t you arrange for someone to keep an eye on them?" Qi Cheng glared at Assistant Gao, clearly exasperated.
Assistant Gao thought it over and realized it made sense.
Ji Yunhuan was in the laundry room washing Qi Cheng’s clothes. When he left, he had thrown his wet clothes there, without dealing with them. Ji Yunhuan initially thought of throwing them away. But seeing such expensive clothes, she felt it was a pity.
While snipping off his buttons, she suddenly remembered the first time she helped Qi Cheng do laundry. Back then, someone was very happy because he finally experienced the life of an ordinary married couple.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunhuan actually felt a bit warm...
Too bad those days were already in the past.
Beautiful things, when recalled, often become more beautiful after being seasoned by time.
Just after finishing his clothes and hanging them up to dry, Yangyang came in from outside, "Mommy."
She looked down at the little guy wearing oversized slippers. Just now, when she was washing clothes, she had let him play in the living room by himself to avoid any disruptions. She looked at Yangyang and smiled, asking, "What’s up?"
"Ruirui is here."
"..."
Ji Yunhuan walked into the living room and saw the caretaker sitting on the sofa with Ruirui, even bringing his baby carriage along.
Seeing Ji Yunhuan, the caretaker said, "Third Young Madam."
Although she was excited to see Ruirui, Ji Yunhuan was still curious about what was happening. "Why did you bring the kid over?"
"Young Master Rui has been looking for you. Third Young Master asked me to bring him over." It was Qi Cheng’s instruction, shifting the responsibility onto Ruirui.
Seeing Ji Yunhuan again, Ruirui became excited, "Mommy."
Ji Yunhuan walked over, picked him up, her heart nearly bursting with joy. When she left the Qi Family, thinking she had abandoned Ruirui, she felt immense pain. She never expected to see Ruirui again so soon.

Qi Cheng had just arrived at the club when Zhou Yixiu, already waiting, greeted him, "Qi Cheng, long time no see."
Assistant Gao pulled out a chair for him. Qi Cheng sat down and looked at Zhou Yixiu, "Mr. Zhou, you’ve been in City A for quite a while. There’s probably nothing in City A worthy of your talents."
Zhou Yixiu calmly looked at Qi Cheng and said, "People always get tired from working continuously. Sometimes they need a break to relax and shift their mood."
Clearly, Zhou Yixiu was very composed despite what had happened before.
Qi Cheng’s attitude was cold, "You asked me here today just to have me accompany you for tea."
"Director Qi’s presence is an honor for me," Zhou Yixiu said, raising his tea cup to Qi Cheng, "Try the tea here. It’s quite good."
Qi Cheng picked up his teacup then put it down again, saying to Zhou Yixiu, "You kidnapped my child and woman before, and now you think to invite me for tea?"
Zhou Yixiu explained ingratiatingly, "That was a misunderstanding. For Mr. Qi Sr.’s sake, I couldn’t have done such a thing. I merely provided a place for Mr. Bai to stay, nothing more. Moreover, when Ms. Ji and Young Master Rui stayed at our place, I never treated them poorly." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"..." One had to admit, this man was excellent at lying.
Zhou Yixiu looked at Qi Cheng and smiled, "What, you don’t believe me? If I had really done something, would Bai Liyan let me off so easily? Obviously not. I know this matter has strained your relationship with your brother. But, beautiful women are loved by all men. Liyan just couldn’t think it through for a moment. You shouldn’t take it too seriously."
"Are you here as a mediator?" Qi Cheng found his dislike for Zhou Yixiu was no less than that for Bai Liyan.
If it hadn’t been for Zhou Yixiu stirring the pot, things wouldn’t have gotten so complicated.
Zhou Yixiu smiled, "A mediator? I wouldn’t dare. I just hoped to invite you for a tea and put the past behind us. After all, our relationship is still pretty good, right?"
Qi Cheng looked coldly at Zhou Yixiu without uttering a word.
After they finished two cups of tea, Zhou Yixiu stood up, "In that case, I’ll go first."
As soon as he stood up, a group of black-clad bodyguards surrounded them.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yixiu stepped back and smiled at Qi Cheng, "It seems Director Qi really doesn’t intend to let me go today?"
Qi Cheng said, "Whether or not Bai Liyan was the mastermind, you played a role. You can’t evade responsibility."
Zhou Yixiu always excelled at manipulating people. Without his instigation, Bai Liyan’s personality wouldn’t have led to the kidnapping of Ji Yunhuan.
"..." Zhou Yixiu’s lips curled into an indifferent smile. He remained unflustered and said confidently, "You can’t do anything to me here, Qi Cheng. You are not that kind of person."
"Regarding Ji Yunhuan, I am capable of anything," Qi Cheng looked at Zhou Yixiu, "If you ever dare to target Ji Yunhuan again, I guarantee you won’t leave like today."
Zhou Yixiu listened calmly, "Thank you for sparing me then."
Qi Cheng walked up to Zhou Yixiu, grabbed his tie, and pressed him into a chair. Zhou Yixiu’s bodyguards quickly drew their guns and surrounded Qi Cheng.
Qi Cheng did not let go, warning Zhou Yixiu, "I am not like the rest of my family. I don’t tread the same path as you. I don’t have the same considerations and concerns. The only person I care about is Ji Yunhuan. If you dare touch her again..."
Qi Cheng’s expression turned utterly cold, his eyes like icy blades.
Zhou Yixiu knew Qi Cheng didn’t make idle threats. With great restraint, he had calmed himself after much persuasion from his elder brother, grateful that Ji Yunhuan and Ruirui were safe.
Qi Cheng wasn’t like the others in the Qi Family, who cared about political relationships. For him, his family was everything.
