Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 729: Deliberately Forcing Qi Cheng to Make a Move_1
"Young Master Sun, he..." Song Bo was about to speak when Qi Cheng interrupted him, "You, get out."
Clearly, Qi Cheng didn’t want Ji Yunhuan to know that his grandfather had slapped him.
Song Bo wisely shut his mouth. Ji Yunhuan quickly sensed something must have happened. She sat on the sofa and looked at Qi Cheng, "What happened? What’s going on?"
"Nothing," Qi Cheng was in a foul mood.
His grandfather wasn’t a man who easily resorted to hitting and had never hit him in front of others before. He felt deeply troubled. What bothered him the most was Zhou Yixiu’s arrogance. After this incident, heaven knows how long Zhou Yixiu would continue to be smug.
"What’s wrong? You can’t even tell me?" Ji Yunhuan reached out to touch Qi Cheng’s hand.
Qi Cheng looked serious, "Stop messing around."
No matter how Ji Yunhuan asked, he kept a cold face and remained silent. Yangyang and Ruirui were taken by the servants to rest.
After a long while of questioning to no avail, Ji Yunhuan saw that Qi Cheng’s older brother and grandfather had returned.
Ji Yunhuan was drinking coffee while Qi Cheng smoked on the patio outside.
Grandfather walked in, looking serious. Ji Yunhuan stood up to greet him and Qi Cheng’s older brother.
"Where is Qi Cheng?" the older brother asked.
"He’s outside!" Ji Yunhuan cautiously glanced at the grandfather. Every time he appeared, it was very stressful.
As they were speaking, Qi Cheng pushed the door open and came in from outside.
"You, come with me." The grandfather spoke to Qi Cheng. After such a long time, his anger hadn’t dissipated.
Ji Yunhuan followed the older brother out of the living room. The older brother told her about what had happened today.
When she heard that Qi Cheng had hit Zhou Yixiu and was then slapped by grandfather, Ji Yunhuan’s heart clenched painfully.
Others didn’t understand why Qi Cheng acted this way, but she understood perfectly.
Qi Cheng hated Zhou Yixiu so much because of her!
If it weren’t for the incident that night, Qi Cheng wouldn’t have provoked Zhou Yixiu now.
In the afternoon, Ji Yunhuan pushed open the door to the room and saw Qi Cheng standing by the window, letting the wind blow. He had been scolded by grandfather for a long time and must be feeling very wronged. "Qi Cheng, are you okay?"
He stubbed out his cigarette and looked back at her, "My older brother told you everything?"
He knew there was a high chance his older brother would tell her.
"No!" Ji Yunhuan feigned ignorance. She walked up to Qi Cheng, thinking about how such a proud person got slapped by his grandfather, feeling very sorry for him. This was why Qi Cheng didn’t want her to know what had happened. So, even though she heard everything from the older brother, she would pretend not to know until Qi Cheng told her himself.
Qi Cheng wrapped his arms around her waist, "Liar. You clearly know."
The flaw in her words was obvious. How could he not see through it?
Ji Yunhuan looked at him, "Are you feeling really upset now? Qi Cheng, if you’re upset, just cry."
"..." He pinched her lightly and laughed instead, "Do you think I am the sort of person who cries?"
"Well, are you upset?"
"Not really." After all, he had hit Zhou Yixiu today; getting scolded by his grandfather wasn’t completely in vain.
Ji Yunhuan looked at him guiltily, "It’s because of me that you got scolded by grandfather."
"Are you looking for a slap?" He gritted his teeth and glared at Ji Yunhuan, "At this point, are you still going to treat me as an outsider?"
"..." Ji Yunhuan pouted, "Just thinking about grandfather hitting you makes my heart ache."
Qi Cheng gently brushed her curly hair, "Really hurts? Then tonight, you’re on top."
"Get lost." She kicked him lightly, "I take back what I just said."
"Heartless." He tightened his arms around her. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Ji Yunhuan looked at him, "So, what are you planning to do about Zhou Yixiu?"
"Let’s not talk about this now." Qi Cheng said gloomily.
Grandfather had scolded him for a long time today. Although everything grandfather said was for his own good, he couldn’t help but feel suffocated.
Yangyang led Ruirui in through the door, "Mommy, will you play outside with me?"
Ji Yunhuan glanced at her son, "But I need to stay with your dad now."
Qi Cheng was grounded. Grandfather wouldn’t let him out, and Ji Yunhuan didn’t want him to be lonely, so she wanted to stay with him.
Surprisingly, Qi Cheng, who was usually clingy, said, "You take them to play. I want some quiet time."
Ji Yunhuan frowned. Seeing that he really wanted to be alone, she took Yangyang out.
In the afternoon, Ji Yunhuan played with Yangyang and came back to call Qi Cheng for dinner.
It seemed after some quiet time, his mood had improved a lot.
Ji Yunhuan held his hand and said to him, "Don’t think about those unhappy things anymore. Okay?"
Seeing Qi Cheng protect her like this, she wanted to tell him not to get involved in the past affairs anymore to avoid being scolded by grandfather. But after thinking, she didn’t say it.
As a man, especially one as proud as he was, how could he bear to tolerate what Zhou Yixiu did to Ji Yunhuan?
This was something he absolutely couldn’t swallow.
Ji Yunhuan held Qi Cheng’s arm, heading to the dining room. As they reached the steps at the main building’s entrance, they saw Zhou Yixiu coming out of the main building. After being beaten by Qi Cheng today, the matter naturally couldn’t end just like that. Grandfather had called Zhou Yixiu over to make things right on the surface.
As soon as Zhou Yixiu saw Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng, his gaze fell on Ji Yunhuan. That mocking smile made Ji Yunhuan feel uncomfortable all over.
If it hadn’t been for grandfather’s presence, she would never have swallowed her anger like this. But at this moment, she didn’t want Qi Cheng to get scolded again.
Ji Yunhuan grabbed Qi Cheng’s hand, intending to leave. But Zhou Yixiu, courting death, spoke, "Yunhuan, haven’t seen you in a few days. You look even more beautiful."
Qi Cheng’s body visibly tensed. Just hearing Zhou Yixiu call Ji Yunhuan’s name made him want to go berserk.
Ji Yunhuan stopped him, "Qi Cheng."
Qi Cheng forced himself to hold back, but Zhou Yixiu wasn’t going to let them off that easily. He smirked and taunted, "What’s wrong with Mr. Qi Sr.? Didn’t you want to hit me? Didn’t get enough at the venue today? Shouldn’t we continue? Or do you not care that I’m eyeing your wife?"
"Zhou Yixiu!"
This scoundrel...
Even Ji Yunhuan couldn’t take it anymore. He was using provocation tactics to force Qi Cheng to act.
Under such circumstances, even Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to hold back.
Much less Qi Cheng!
Before Ji Yunhuan could stop Qi Cheng, he was already storming towards Zhou Yixiu. He grabbed Zhou Yixiu, his teeth gritted, "Do you really think I won’t touch you?"
Zhou Yixiu spread his arms, showing no intention of resisting, "Do you think I grew up with no threats?"
Zhou Yixiu was clearly provoking Qi Cheng to make a move, hoping that Qi Cheng would be punished by grandfather.
