Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 761 Sweet Life_1

"What did you receive?" Bai Liyan, usually so intelligent, found himself stumped by this question.

"I’m pursuing you!" Gu You said frankly. "I’ve liked you since the first time I met you. Later, when you were dumped by your girlfriend, I thought I might as well give it a shot."

"..."

"If you have designs on me, I’d be more than happy! So, staying at your place shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Her eyes curved like a crescent moon when she smiled. If another woman had said she was interested in him, Bai Liyan would have walked away without a second thought.

But because it was Gu You, he made a baffling decision that he even regretted afterward—he brought Gu You home.

When the maid saw Bai Liyan bringing a girl home, she was so shocked that her eyes widened. She looked at the pretty yet somewhat disheveled girl and asked, "Who is this..."

"This is Gu You. She got robbed, so I brought her home for the night."

Gu You was still secretly sizing up Bai Liyan’s house. "Your house is so big! Oh my God!"

"..." Bai Liyan shot her a glance but didn’t say much. He called a nearby servant to prepare a set of clothes for Gu You since her own clothes were almost ruined.

After Gu You took a shower, the servant prepared a room for her.

Looking at Bai Liyan, the servant asked, "Sir, should we call a doctor for Ms. Gu? Her knee is injured."

Bai Liyan had noticed this on the way home and said, "Bring the first aid kit. I’ll take care of it."

Gu You’s injuries weren’t severe. To Bai Liyan, this was child’s play.

Gu You sat on the sofa, watching Bai Liyan sit on a small stool as he treated the wound on her knee. She couldn’t help but chuckle, "Actually, I was just joking when I said I was pursuing you. But Dr. Bai, you’re so kind to me, I feel like I’m really starting to fall for you."

Gu You’s words made Bai Liyan pause. He looked up at her smile and was suddenly reminded of the time in Huai Xi. Ji Yunhuan had been injured, too, and he had treated her wounds just the same.

Because of the angle of the light, he couldn’t see Gu You’s face clearly and unconsciously began seeing her as Ji Yunhuan.

At that moment, he seemed to finally understand why that day he had saved an unrelated girl by the roadside.

And why he had inexplicably maintained contact with a stranger and even given her his contact information. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

It was all because she was so much like Ji Yunhuan.

It wasn’t that their features were similar, but both shared a beauty that was utterly captivating.

Their temperaments were very similar, and even their sense of style in dressing was alike.

Bai Liyan looked at Gu You and smiled, "If you really have fallen for me, that wouldn’t be bad at all! After all, I’m single."

After saying this, Bai Liyan suddenly felt his mind go blank.

Damn, what was he saying?

He was actually saying such things to an insignificant girl?

Did he love Ji Yunhuan so much that he couldn’t even let go of a shadow that resembled her?

Gu You didn’t say anything. She just stared at Bai Liyan for a long while.

Bai Liyan had finished treating her wound and stood up. "All done."

Gu You looked down at her knee. He had applied medicine and placed a small bandage on it. "Thank you, Dr. Bai."

"You’re welcome. Get a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow, I’ll have someone help you with your matters."

"Thank you."

Bai Liyan quickly left the room. By the time he reached his own room, he was still inwardly cursing his stupidity.

He entered the bedroom, lit a cigarette, and gazed at a photo of Ji Yunhuan that remained on the nightstand, feeling somewhat lost.

He didn’t know what he was doing.

Although he had said such words to Gu You and received no response, making the atmosphere awkward, he realized his heart felt lighter.

He didn’t understand why, but in front of Gu You, he could actually relax. He could briefly stop worrying about that unreciprocated love.

Early in the morning, Ji Yunhuan dragged Qi Cheng out of bed. "Didn’t you say we’re going to the Fushan Hot Spring today?"

Qi Cheng sat up, looking somewhat bewildered at her enthusiasm. "Looks like you’re in a good mood today."

"It’s all right!" Ji Yunhuan looked back at him, lowered her head, and kissed him on the cheek. "Are you awake now?"

"...No."

She kissed him again. "You must be awake now, right?"

"No." Clearly, his eyes were much brighter than before, but he was still pretending.

Ji Yunhuan kissed him once more. "Now you must be awake. Go wash up! I’m going to check on the kids."

After getting up early, Ji Yunhuan had even prepared breakfast.

It was clear that she cared a lot about this trip.

Being able to take the kids on a trip made her happy.

After tending to the children, Ji Yunhuan went downstairs and saw that Qi Mo, Leilei, and Luo Sha had already arrived.

Seeing Luo Sha, Ji Yunhuan seemed a bit surprised. "Luo Sha came too?"

"Don’t you want her to come?" Because her sister-in-law had issues with Luo Sha, Qi Mo automatically assumed Ji Yunhuan felt the same when she asked.

Ji Yunhuan hurriedly explained, "How could I not? I just didn’t expect her parents would let her come!"

Luo Sha said, "My parents don’t forbid me from seeing Qi Mo anymore."

"Oh, that’s good then." At least they started respecting the children’s wishes.

Both kids were eighteen. While that might be a bit early, they were free to date.

"Sit down! Have you had breakfast yet?" Ji Yunhuan asked, concerned.

"No," Leilei said. "We knew you would make breakfast, so we came here to mooch food."

"You want to mooch food, not me!" Qi Mo pointed at Leilei’s forehead in disdain.

Leilei frowned.

Luo Sha chimed in, "Qi Mo, you’re being a bit harsh on your sister."

"I’m just used to it." Qi Mo immediately became more obedient and stopped teasing Leilei.

Although she knew Qi Mo was very responsive to Luo Sha, Ji Yunhuan hadn’t expected he cared this much.

Even Leilei, who understood Qi Mo very well, widened her eyes. "Oh my God! Is my brother really this meek in front of his girlfriend?"

"Do you want to die?" Qi Mo glared at her coldly, and Leilei finally shut up.

She knew that while Qi Mo would not reprimand her in Luo Sha’s presence, she couldn’t guarantee the same behind her back.

The kids started eating, but Qi Cheng hadn’t come down yet. Ji Yunhuan said, "You all go ahead and eat. I’ll go check upstairs."

Qi Cheng was still in the room, not even dressed yet. Seeing him like this, Ji Yunhuan was puzzled.

"Didn’t I tell you to come down for breakfast? Why are you still in your pajamas?"
