Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 723 Burying Head in the Quilt_1

"Zhou Yixiu!" Qi Cheng’s voice sounded as if it squeezed through his teeth.

The scene in front of him made him furious.

He had thought before that, considering both families, Zhou Yixiu wouldn’t do anything excessive. So he let Zhou Yixiu go. Unexpectedly...

Qi Cheng’s words pulled Ji Yunhuan’s thoughts back. She looked towards the door and saw Qi Cheng. How could Qi Cheng be here?

When Zhou Yixiu saw the enraged Qi Cheng, he let go of Ji Yunhuan.

Outside the door, Zhou Yixiu’s people had all been subdued. People quickly came in and grabbed the culprit, Zhou Yixiu.

Zhou Yixiu said, "Qi Cheng, this is just a misunderstanding..."

Before he could finish, Qi Cheng’s men dragged him out. Although Zhou Yixiu wanted to run, no matter how skilled he was, he wasn’t a superhero. It wasn’t easy to escape from Qi Cheng alone, so he didn’t resist.

It was still raining outside; the sound of rain gradually faded into the distance. Ji Yunhuan only felt her heart pounding fiercely.

Qi Cheng walked towards her...

A glimmer of hope ignited in her heart, but it quickly dissipated, and she became more clear-headed.

Back in Huai Xi, Qi Cheng also appeared before her like this. Although he didn’t come stepping on a rainbow cloud, in her heart, he still shone like a hero.

But...

After appearing, he didn’t believe her at all.

So when Qi Cheng approached, the glimmer of hope in Ji Yunhuan’s heart slowly dissipated again.

Her two outer garments’ buttons were torn off by Zhou Yixiu, and her hair was disheveled from the struggle. Her state was beyond mere disarray.

Qi Cheng took off his coat and wanted to cover her. Ji Yunhuan took it and, trembling, said, "I’ll do it myself."

She realized she was scared to appear in front of Qi Cheng in such a state.

Qi Cheng couldn’t help but be stunned as he looked at her.

Ji Yunhuan had stayed in the bathroom for almost two hours before coming out. She was wearing a bathrobe, her hair still wet. They had returned from the countryside to the hotel.

Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan, who came out of the bathroom. Her face was fair, and because of the long bath, her lips looked moist.

Qi Cheng said to Ji Yunhuan, "Go dry your hair."

On the way back, Ji Yunhuan hardly spoke. Seeing her like this, Qi Cheng didn’t say much either.

Now, after hearing Qi Cheng’s words, Ji Yunhuan looked at him, "How did you come here?"

"I came because I wanted to." Qi Cheng walked up to her. Ji Yunhuan felt very uncomfortable in his presence, like a student who had done something wrong.

He scrutinized her and said, "Next time you come to a place like this, don’t come alone. Let me know."

His words made Ji Yunhuan’s heart ache inexplicably.

She had thought about telling him, but his attitude before she left...

Ji Yunhuan found a place to sit down and didn’t bother to dry her hair. The events of tonight had made her mood gloomy.

Before they returned, she saw that Qi Cheng had already beaten Zhou Yixiu, having witnessed Zhou Yixiu bullying Ji Yunhuan. How could Qi Cheng let him go so easily?

He had warned Zhou Yixiu before. It was clear that Zhou Yixiu didn’t take him seriously.

Ji Yunhuan was zoning out when a dry towel was thrown over her head. Before she could take it off, Qi Cheng’s large hand was already on her head, gently but firmly drying her wet hair. "You’re so grown up and still don’t know how to take care of yourself." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Even when Zhou Yixiu bullied her, she didn’t cry. Qi Cheng’s words, however, made Ji Yunhuan’s tears fall.

Qi Cheng finished drying her hair and looked into her eyes, "Why are you crying?"

"Don’t you misunderstand that there’s something between me and Zhou Yixiu?"

"..." Qi Cheng averted his gaze, "I’m not blind. I can see clearly."

"You weren’t exactly clear-sighted before." The contrast between now and then was too drastic.

"What, still angry about the past?" Qi Cheng sat beside her and wrapped her in his arms, "I might have been blind once, but I can’t be blind every time!"

Ji Yunhuan bit her lip. She hadn’t expected Qi Cheng to appear here.

Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan. She lowered her head under his gaze, and his eyes fell on her graceful neck. "Did Zhou Yixiu touch you here?"

Because Zhou Yixiu had touched her, she scrubbed her skin almost raw while bathing.

"I want to sleep." Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to discuss this issue.

Her heart felt wounded, with gaping holes, bleeding and unbearable to look at.

She didn’t want to touch those wounds.

Qi Cheng looked at the time, "It’s quite late. Sleep well."

Ji Yunhuan lay on the bed. Qi Cheng reached out to tuck her in. She glanced at him, then buried her head in the blanket.

After a while, she felt Qi Cheng hold her through the blanket, "Yunhuan, I’m really sorry."

"..." Like an ostrich hiding in the blanket, Ji Yunhuan felt her heart tremble.

He always knew how to make her sad.

Qi Cheng also knew that if it wasn’t for his indecisiveness over Su Molang, Ji Yunhuan wouldn’t have come to a place like this, desperately trying to find evidence proving Su Molang was a fraud, and wouldn’t have ended up in Zhou Yixiu’s trap.

Ji Yunhuan slept and woke up to hear Qi Cheng talking on the phone in the room, "What did you say? He actually escaped?"

He had brought Zhou Yixiu to deal with him. Qi Cheng didn’t plan to let that scum off easily without tormenting him to vent his anger.

Unexpectedly, despite controlling Zhou Yixiu’s men, someone still came to rescue him.

On the phone, his subordinate’s voice came through, "It seems to be Brother Long’s men who rescued him."

"Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?"

"Yes."

"..."

Qi Cheng hung up the phone, angrily threw his mobile onto the sofa, and stood up. He had never been this irritated, letting Zhou Yixiu escape at this time.

Ji Yunhuan lifted the blanket and sat up. Qi Cheng calmed down a bit, "Did I wake you?"

"I can’t sleep." After waking up slightly, Ji Yunhuan looked at the furious Qi Cheng, "Why are you so mad late at night?"

"Zhou Yixiu got away." Qi Cheng poured himself a glass of water and gulped it down.

Hearing that Zhou Yixiu escaped, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but feel a bit stunned. She wished she could skin that psychopath alive.

Qi Cheng continued, "My men said it was Brother Long’s men who rescued him."

He guessed that with Brother Long captured, the power fell into Zhou Yixiu’s hands.

Ji Yunhuan recalled what she heard at Zhou Yixiu’s place today, "Zhou Yixiu said the person captured wasn’t Brother Long, but a fake."

"..." Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan, seemingly full of doubt.

Ji Yunhuan saw him staring, "You don’t believe me?"

It wasn’t that Qi Cheng didn’t believe Ji Yunhuan; he just thought that Zhou Yixiu’s words might not be true. "That day we went to meet, A’Liang confirmed the captured person was Brother Long."
