Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 757 Wherever there is no fragrant grass_1
"First, I didn’t quite believe Bai Liyan’s words, and second... Whether he’s Xu Qingyang or A’Liang, in my eyes, they’re the same person." Thinking of Su Molang, a hint of helplessness appeared in Qi Cheng’s eyes.
Ji Yunhuan looked at him and said, "Qi Cheng, don’t you find it ironic? You befriended Su Molang. Who knew that in the end, he wasn’t the real Su Molang."
After all, the real Su Molang should be Su Longyan.
"Really?" Qi Cheng didn’t quite agree with Ji Yunhuan’s statement. "Whether he’s Auntie’s child or the eldest young master of the Su Family, I only know that the one who saved me was A’Liang, not Su Longyan."
"..." Ji Yunhuan looked at him and kissed him on the forehead. "I don’t know whether to praise you or to mock you. Who would’ve thought that someone as cold as you would be so sentimental?"
Qi Cheng hugged her tight and leaned on her shoulder, saying, "To be honest with you, I’ve had everything since I was a kid. Because Grandpa spoiled me, everyone in the family, including my uncles’ and aunts’ families, treated me very well. I hardly lacked for anything and had many friends. When I was young, I didn’t understand, but as I grew up, I realized that there were only a few genuinely sincere people. Most of them were like Zhou Yixiu, calling me ’Mr. Qi’ to my face, but secretly wishing for my downfall. I don’t know what would happen between A’Liang and me if he were alive, but when he was alive, he, Liyan, and I were the best trio in the world."
Ji Yunhuan looked at him seriously and said, somewhat disdainfully, "If you liked him that much, why didn’t you two just go for it?"
"..." Qi Cheng didn’t respond, but Ji Yunhuan felt a sharp pinch on her waist.
"Enough, Qi Cheng, that hurts!" she exclaimed.
"That’s what you get for talking nonsense." Qi Cheng let go of Ji Yunhuan with equal disdain. "This era really has gone downhill. Just because two men are close doesn’t mean you people have to twist it."
"It’s because you’re good-looking! If you were ugly, I wouldn’t even bother joking with you!"
Ji Yunhuan arranged the things on the table and had Qi Cheng bring the two kids down. She first went to check on the sleeping Xuanxuan. Xuanxuan was still asleep and hadn’t cried, so she took advantage of the opportunity to have dinner. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a peaceful moment to eat later.

At night, Bai Liyan came out of the bar, Dongzi following behind him. "Bro, let me give you a ride home!"
"No need," Bai Liyan waved his hand. "I’ll walk by myself."
"Are you sure?" Dongzi, who was still in high spirits, didn’t really want to leave. He had already called a driver to follow Bai Liyan.
Bai Liyan hadn’t drunk much, but he was in a particularly bad mood today. He felt like he was punishing himself. He had decided to let go of that woman, yet he still went to her, making her hate him.
He walked along the road. No one knew that after Qi Cheng saved Ji Yunhuan that day, Bai Liyan followed them all the way. Until they returned from Huai Xi, he stayed there alone for a long time.
While they were enjoying themselves, he was alone, like an outsider, watching them in solitude.
He finally understood. Ji Yunhuan would only be truly happy with Qi Cheng by her side!
When they were together, even their arguments, fights, and even divorce became catalysts for their relationship.
And he... He was always just a supporting character. No matter how good, outstanding, or perfect he was, no matter how much he sacrificed, he could never linger in her heart for even a moment.
Bai Liyan hadn’t walked far when a girl ran up to him. "Hi, fancy meeting you here."
Bai Liyan stopped and looked at the girl in front of him. She dressed simply, and her clothes were clearly not expensive, but she had a clean and fresh aura about her.
He stared at the girl for a long time, his face expressionless. The girl looked at him. "What? You don’t remember me? In Huai Xi, when my car broke down, you gave me a ride. Did you forget?"
With her reminder, Bai Liyan quickly recalled the incident. It was just a small act of kindness at the time, and he hadn’t thought much of it.
He had been in a bad mood that day. Whatever the girl had said to him, he had already forgotten.
"You look like you’ve had too much to drink?" The girl looked at Bai Liyan with some concern.
Bai Liyan listened to her and said, "What’s up?"
"Nothing, I just saw you and wanted to say hi. You helped me before. I told you in Huai Xi that I’d repay the favor when I got back to City A!" The girl looked at him cheerfully. "I was just thinking about how to contact you. I didn’t expect to see you here."
Bai Liyan, his face indifferent, said, "Not in the mood tonight."
"What’s the matter? Girlfriend dumped you? There are plenty of fish in the sea. Why focus on just one?" The girl walked beside Bai Liyan. Although she looked ordinary, even standing next to someone as outstanding as Bai Liyan, she didn’t pale in comparison at all.
She quickly asked Bai Liyan, "My name is Gu You. What’s yours?"
"..."
"It’s fine if you don’t tell me. I’ll find out sooner or later." Gu You followed Bai Liyan for a while. When she saw a cozy little shop ahead, she said, "How about I buy you a cup of milk tea?"
"I don’t like milk tea."
"Then drink whatever you like!" Gu You grabbed Bai Liyan’s arm. Seeing his reluctance to go in, she cleverly said, "You don’t want me to owe you a favor forever, do you? That would make me uncomfortable." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
The little shop had charming décor, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Gu You pulled Bai Liyan to a seat by the window. Looking at him, she saw an undeniable sadness in his eyes and asked, concerned, "Really heartbroken?"
"Pretty much." Maybe it was because he was a doctor for so long, but he didn’t outright reject the girl coldly.
Besides, there was something likable about her aura.
She wasn’t even wearing makeup, but with her natural beauty, she looked as if she had stepped out of a painting.
Bai Liyan found it strange. He had never been interested in women before. Since falling for Ji Yunhuan, had he started paying attention to women now?
Gu You noticed him staring at her. "Why are you staring at me? It might make people think you like me."
Bai Liyan looked away. Gu You smiled. "I’m just teasing you. Judging by your designer labels, there’s no way you’d like someone like me, right?"
"What do you do for a living?" He thought he was crazy, showing interest in a stranger’s life.
"Me?" Gu You smiled mysteriously. "Guess what I do?"
Bai Liyan’s focused gaze scanned her like a camera. "You draw?"
