Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 711: A Warm Phone Call_1

Bai Liyan smiled. "It’s okay, I’ll visit you at Qi Garden when I’m free."

"Bai Liyan." Ji Yunhuan felt she really needed to emphasize it to him again. "Don’t come looking for me anymore. I’ve decided to get back together with Qi Cheng. He had so many misunderstandings before. I’ll try to be more disciplined from now on."

If Qi Cheng was prone to misunderstandings, she wouldn’t have any contact with Bai Liyan at all.

Bai Liyan’s expression stiffened upon hearing Ji Yunhuan’s words. "It seems you didn’t remember a single thing I said to you."

"I can’t help it. My memory is poor. I’m sorry." Ji Yunhuan finished speaking, took Yangyang’s hand, and stepped down the stairs. The female housekeeper nodded to Bai Liyan, turned, and followed Ji Yunhuan’s steps.

When she got home, Qi Cheng had not returned yet. Ji Yunhuan looked at her phone, wondering whether to call him.

She didn’t want Qi Cheng to misunderstand what she had said today. She also feared he might overthink it and really not come back.

A servant came down and said, "Ms. Ji, you’re finally back. Young Master Rui has been looking for you for a while."

Usually, if they couldn’t find Ji Yunhuan, they could still find Yangyang. Who knew today neither of them could be found? This was Qi Garden, not the Ji Family, so he was extremely worried.

Ji Yunhuan said, "I’ll go check on him first!"

Anyway, it was still early. If Qi Cheng came back on his own, a call might seem unnecessary.

Downstairs, Rui Rui was sitting alone on the floor with two tears hanging in his eyes. Ji Yunhuan stood at the door, looking at the little one. "Why are you crying?"

As soon as Rui Rui saw Ji Yunhuan, he got up shakily and walked over to her. He hugged Ji Yunhuan’s leg, looking up at her, "Mom."

Yangyang came over too. Seeing Rui Rui, he reached out to wipe the tears from Rui Rui’s face. Rui Rui, in a tantrum, pushed Yangyang’s hand away, feeling as if Yangyang had taken Ji Yunhuan away from him.

"Still sulking, huh!" Yangyang exclaimed in surprise.

Ji Yunhuan squatted down with a smile. "There’s nothing I can do. Who made him the little grump?"

"No, baby is not..."

"If you’re not the little grump, who is?"

Rui Rui unceremoniously pointed at Yangyang. Yangyang protested, "I’m not either."

As a result, the two little ones started quarreling over this.

After coaxing them, Ji Yunhuan looked outside and realized it was already dark.

"Has Qi Cheng returned yet?" Ji Yunhuan asked after the female housekeeper came upstairs.

"Sir hasn’t come back yet."

It was already dark outside. Usually, he would be home by now, spending time with her, not staying out this late. Ji Yunhuan took out her phone, looked at her contacts, and wondered if she should call him.

Qi Cheng was still at Su Residence. The Su Family was having dinner. Qi Cheng, chatting late with Su Molang today, stayed for dinner.

"Come on, baby, have some more of this." Su mother, full of care, added food to Su Molang’s plate. Su Molang protested, "Mom, that’s enough. Qi Cheng is here. Why call me baby?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

It was so embarrassing.

"What’s so embarrassing?" Su Zi protested from the side. "Mom has never called me that! She only calls you that because she loves you. Mom, can you call me that too?"

Su Zi looked expectant, but Su mother rolled her eyes directly at her. "Eat your food."

"Brother, look, how partial is our mom?" Su Zi protested.

Qi Cheng looked at this happy family scene. Although Ji Yunhuan always said Su Molang was a fake, watching this scene made people feel that even if Su Molang was fake, it didn’t matter. At least for the Su parents, they had a new reliance.

Just as he thought of Ji Yunhuan, his phone rang.

Qi Cheng took out his phone, took a look, and stood up. "I’ll take this call."

He initially thought Ji Yunhuan would be too angry to talk to him today.

It had been a long time since he received a call from Ji Yunhuan.

Qi Cheng walked to the corridor, pressed the call button, and heard Ji Yunhuan’s voice on the phone, full of complaints. "Where are you?"

"Me? I’m having dinner outside!" Afraid she was angry, he didn’t dare to say he was at the Su’s. He realized he had become very cautious in front of this woman. "Why, is there something?"

"No, go ahead and eat." Ji Yunhuan said, "I’ll call you later."

It seemed he was indeed a bit angry. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be out this late without coming back.

Just as she was about to hang up, Qi Cheng’s voice rang. "Yunhuan."

"Hmm?"

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t be polite with me."

"Won’t it bother your meal?" Ji Yunhuan felt she might have called at a bad time.

"If you hold back what you want to say, I’ll feel worse!"

Ji Yunhuan bit her lip, explaining. "I just wanted to tell you that I didn’t mean to drive you away. Don’t be angry with me for that. Although you said you gave Qi Garden to me, I have no intention of monopolizing it."

Because Assistant Gao mentioned certain things, she thought signing a contract would make her relationship with Qi Cheng less awkward. She didn’t want to refuse Qi Cheng’s heartfelt intentions, but even less did she want to take Qi Garden for herself.

Qi Cheng was stunned for a moment. "Oh."

"Please continue your meal. I’ll hang up now." Ji Yunhuan finished speaking, hung up, and Qi Cheng stood in the corridor, looking at the just-ended call, belatedly realizing...

Was she hinting that she wanted him to go back?

Was she worried because he hadn’t returned?

The man standing in the corridor was still wearing a white shirt. The initial seriousness on his handsome face faded, and his features slowly took on a layer of a smile.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Zi, seeing that he hadn’t come back for a while, opened the door and walked out, only to see Qi Cheng standing there grinning. It was utterly speechless.

Was this still the Mr. Qi she knew?

Where was the previously promised domineering aura?

Qi Cheng snapped back to reality. "Let’s go back to eat."

Back in the dining room, Su Molang glanced at Qi Cheng. "You took a long call. If you didn’t come back, we would have finished eating."

"It’s fine." Qi Cheng sat down, glanced at Su Molang, thinking he must find an opportunity to discuss Ji Yunhuan with Su Molang. With his love for this woman, he had no intention of giving up on her.

Since Su Molang had returned, he didn’t feel as guilty as he used to.

Initially, seeing a fake Su Molang made him uneasy. Now, with the certainty that Su Molang was real, the guilt in his heart was not as heavy.

A’Liang was still alive, but the one he hurt the most was the woman he loved the most.

After dinner, Qi Cheng didn’t linger and prepared to go home. Su Molang saw him to the door. "Take care, and please send my regards to Yunhuan."

Qi Cheng didn’t respond, directly getting into the car.

Just after getting out of the car and before entering the house, he caught sight of Ji Yunhuan’s figure through the window from a distance. His heart felt warm. When did his reasons for happiness become so simple? Simple enough that a hint from her in a phone call was all it took?
