Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 714 Let the Housekeeper Take the Blame_1
When Qi Cheng went to meet Brother Long, Ji Yunhuan went to a warm restaurant. Because of Brother Long’s matter, she hadn’t dared to go out recently, fearing she would be targeted. Now that the issue was finally resolved, she could relax a bit.
"Welcome." She heard the server’s voice as soon as she entered the restaurant.
Ji Yunhuan smiled and quickly saw Wen Nuan coming out.
Wen Nuan walked over, glancing at her disdainfully, "I haven’t known what you’ve been doing lately. It’s been hard to see you."
"What else could I do besides resting at home?" Ji Yunhuan followed Wen Nuan to their seat and sat down.
As the server brought the coffee, Ji Yunhuan felt something strange inside the restaurant. She looked up at the server handing her the coffee and then realized...
"When did they hire such a handsome waiter?"
A young boy in his twenties with a high level of attractiveness. Many customers in the restaurant couldn’t help but praise him.
The waiter, in his uniform, offered Ji Yunhuan a clear smile. Just one smile, and it felt like a flower bloomed in her heart.
Wen Nuan complained to Ji Yunhuan, "He’s been here for quite a while. He came around before the New Year, but you didn’t know."
Ever since Su Molang came out, Ji Yunhuan had not been to the restaurant and hadn’t bothered with these things.
Ji Yunhuan smiled sheepishly, "It’s surprising such a handsome guy works as a waiter!"
This scene made Ji Yunhuan recall Qi Cheng serving tables back in Jiangling.
Wen Nuan introduced, "His name is Xu Qing. You can call him Xiao Xu. Xiao Xu, this is Sister Ji, another owner of our restaurant."
Xu Qing greeted Ji Yunhuan politely, his voice unexpectedly deep and pleasant, "Hello, Sister Ji. I’ll go back to work now."
He walked away with a smile. Ji Yunhuan watched his back, a strange feeling passing through her heart. But before she could capture it, the feeling disappeared.
Returning to Qi Garden after dining with Wen Nuan, Ji Yunhuan had just gotten out of her car when she saw Bai Liyan standing by another car, looking at her, "You’re back?"
There was a faint tenderness on his face. It seemed no matter how cold Ji Yunhuan was, he didn’t mind at all.
Seeing Bai Liyan, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but sigh, "Didn’t I tell you not to come see me? Bai Liyan, I told you clearly yesterday. I’m already with Qi Cheng and have moved back here. Don’t come looking for me when Qi Cheng is not around."
She didn’t initially want to stay there. But considering that the Ji Family and Bai Liyan were often in and out, she stayed. What she didn’t expect...
No matter where she was, Bai Liyan would entangle her.
Bai Liyan chuckled, "I’m very clear whether you’re with Qi Cheng or not. Qi Cheng gave you Qi Garden, but you’re not really with him."
"..." Ji Yunhuan didn’t expect him to know even that.
Although she and Qi Cheng hadn’t verbally said they were together, they were practically together.
Bai Liyan’s words left Ji Yunhuan a bit helpless, "How do you want me to prove it so that you’ll believe I’m with Qi Cheng?"
"No matter how you prove it, I won’t believe." Bai Liyan’s words were full of stubbornness.
Ji Yunhuan almost cried, "Do you find this interesting?"
"It’s not about interest. I just don’t want you to be wronged. Do you think Qi Cheng will be with you? Do you think with Su Molang around, he’d really be yours? Do you think you can be happy with Qi Cheng? Let me tell you, Yunhuan, don’t even think about it. Don’t be deceived by Qi Cheng’s recent kindness to you. That’s only because you’re injured. As long as Su Molang is around, Qi Cheng won’t be with you!" Bai Liyan said with utmost certainty.
Ji Yunhuan remembered Qi Cheng’s words. Although she and Qi Cheng hadn’t fully gotten together, Qi Cheng had promised her that Su Molang wouldn’t be an obstacle between them. So she wasn’t that worried, "Qi Cheng told me that he would be with me. No matter what you say here, it makes no difference."
"Does it make no difference? Let’s see." Bai Liyan chuckled, "Do you think you understand Qi Cheng better than I do? To him, women are just a pastime! If he truly loved you, he wouldn’t have done those things before."
"..." Ji Yunhuan shook her head helplessly, "Bai Liyan, you seem like a stranger to me. You wouldn’t have acted like this before."
Bai Liyan’s eyes flashed with helplessness, "If Qi Cheng hadn’t done those things before, I wouldn’t act like this. I have given you to him time and again, only to see him wrong you. If he could give you up once, he could do it ten times."
"If you put it that way, there’s nothing I can do about it." She only believed Qi Cheng wouldn’t do such things.
Ji Yunhuan entered the house. Even though she wanted to chase Bai Liyan away, he wouldn’t leave, and she had no way to deal with him.
She changed into slippers, and Bai Liyan found a spot to sit down. Just seeing him on the couch gave Ji Yunhuan a headache. She thought if Qi Cheng came back and saw Bai Liyan there, she wouldn’t be able to explain it, though she hadn’t invited Bai Liyan.
"Housekeeper." Ji Yunhuan called out just in case.
The female housekeeper quickly approached, "Ms. Ji."
Ji Yunhuan pointed at Bai Liyan on the couch, instructing the female housekeeper, "When Qi Cheng arrives later, say Mr. Bai came here to see you. It has nothing to do with me."
The female housekeeper listened to Ji Yunhuan and nodded, "Yes."
Bai Liyan sat aside, unable to help but twitch his lips.
In the past, even if Ji Yunhuan were with Qi Cheng, she wouldn’t be so cautious. But now... bit by bit, she was lowering her standards for Qi Cheng.
With the female housekeeper as a scapegoat, Ji Yunhuan felt slightly relieved. Qi Cheng shouldn’t get upset over this, right?
In the evening, Ji Yunhuan supervised the kitchen, preparing a feast. Today, capturing Brother Long made Qi Cheng’s mood likely very good. She wanted to accompany him for a nice meal.
Of course, this was also to show Bai Liyan, to make him believe she and Qi Cheng were indeed together.
But...
Looking at Bai Liyan still in the living room, she felt a headache. She thought Bai Liyan would leave soon, but he still hadn’t.
"Go call your dad and ask why he’s not home yet?" Ji Yunhuan asked Yangyang next to her.
By now, Qi Cheng should have returned as it was getting dark outside.
Yangyang went out briefly and returned, telling Ji Yunhuan, "Dad said he won’t come back for dinner. He told us to eat."
"..." Ji Yunhuan felt Bai Liyan’s gaze and turned to see him smiling slightly, "Is this what you call being together?"
