Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 801: Gazing Into Her Eyes

——He finally dealt with the woman who brought him pain, but in doing so, he also lost the brother who loved him most since childhood. How could this not be a source of pain for him?

At this moment, when Su Longyan brought up the scene of their separation, Xu Qingyang suddenly understood many things.

He had always wondered, if Su Longyan hated him, why didn’t he kill him all these years, but instead kept letting him go?

The younger brother who grew up with him simply couldn’t bring himself to hurt him!

Xu Qingyang’s voice grew heavy in the dark room, "I’m sorry, Longyan, I’m sorry..."

No matter how many sins Su Longyan committed, Xu Qingyang was partly to blame for them. After all, he didn’t take good care of his brother, nor did he fulfill the duties of being an elder brother. If he had noticed these things earlier, how could so many tragedies have occurred?

In the darkness, Su Longyan’s previously tense body slowly relaxed. He looked into Xu Qingyang’s indistinct eyes for a long time before finally closing his eyes exhaustedly.

After ensuring Su Longyan was asleep, Xu Qingyang sat down beside him, looking at Su Longyan’s hand. His bones were handsome, yet they bore numerous wounds—marks left over the years.

Having fought his way on the streets, transforming from a teenager with nothing but hatred into someone feared by many, who could have known how much he had been through?

Just as Xu Qingyang was deeply absorbed, Su Zi pushed open the door and walked in. Although Xu Qingyang told her not to worry, she couldn’t help but come and check.

From the look in Xu Qingyang’s eyes when he left, she guessed it was something concerning Su Longyan.

Indeed...

Su Zi came over, sat down as well, looked at the already asleep Su Longyan, and smilingly said to Xu Qingyang, "You managed to lull him to sleep."

"Really?" Xu Qingyang responded absentmindedly, his gaze still fixed on Su Longyan.

Su Zi said, "You wouldn’t know, right? Longyan brother often struggles to sleep well even now. When he really can’t sleep, I come to keep him company. When I’m in his room, he sleeps quite peacefully."

Hearing this, Xu Qingyang’s heart filled with sorrow.

In truth, he should know better than anyone how fragile his brother’s heart was.

Su Zi looked at Xu Qingyang, aware of the persistent rift between him and Su Longyan, and seeing Xu Qingyang willing to care for Su Longyan, Su Zi said, "Brother, are you not angry with Longyan anymore?"

"Only you would know that." Xu Qingyang ruffled her hair.

Su Zi smiled and said, "What’s past is past; don’t hold onto those things. Keeping those grudges in your heart can’t bring back those who have left. Isn’t it nice to have us all together happily like this now?"

"I know," Xu Qingyang said earnestly.

Seeing that he had come to terms, Su Zi stood up, "Then I’ll go to sleep first; today’s flight was so tiring."

She stretched and walked out the door to her room, then called to greet everyone concerned.

Ji Yunhuan hung up Su Zi’s call and lay in bed exhaustedly, "So tired today."

Qi Cheng sat beside the bed, looking at her, "Why bother with those things? Just leave it to the female housekeeper."

"I was afraid of losing face for you." After all, when she visited the Su Family, Su Zi and Xu Qingyang were so courteous, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t be any less polite.

Qi Cheng propped on his arms, leaning over her, gazing into her eyes without speaking.

Being looked at with such intimacy made Ji Yunhuan feel uneasy, "What are you doing?"

Whenever he leaned close, she would inexplicably feel nervous.

Watching her swallow nervously, Qi Cheng laughed.

However, he didn’t tease her, letting her rest her head on his arm, "Good girl, sleep."

Ji Yunhuan leaned into his embrace, not thinking much before falling asleep.

Early the next morning, Qi Cheng left for work, and Ji Yunhuan went to the company to check performance.

The game Qi Mo hadn’t finished designing previously, he had picked up again lately and completed.

Without the suppression from Lin Zhenyu, Xingkong Games was developing quite well.

With Qi Cheng backing Ji Yunhuan, everyone gave her due respect.

The company’s progress made Ji Yunhuan quite happy.

She helped handle some affairs, then went to a hotel event. Upon leaving, she encountered Zhou Yixiu downstairs.

Compared to the grandiose display he showed before, there were few people around him this time. Seeing him, Ji Yunhuan was quite surprised because since the incident, he had retreated from public view, keeping a low profile.

Zhou Yixiu stopped before Ji Yunhuan, casting a mischievous smile, "Mrs. Qi."

Seeing him deliberately greet her, Ji Yunhuan didn’t miss the chance to mock him, "Isn’t this Boss Zhou? How have you been recently?"

After being dismissed from his position, Zhou Yixiu turned to business.

Given he couldn’t return to his previous position soon, he idly ventured into business, living leisurely.

Zhou Yixiu could hear the sarcasm in Ji Yunhuan’s words, "Thanks to you, not too bad."

Zhou Yixiu hadn’t been defeated.

Despite losing his position, backed by his father and being the future family head of the Zhou Family, plus his meticulous planning over the years, even outside that circle, he could still exert significant influence.

Curious, Ji Yunhuan asked, "What brings you to City A?"

Whenever Zhou Yixiu appeared here, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but feel wary because Zhou Yixiu had declared during the incident that he would eventually seek revenge.

Ji Yunhuan feared he plotted something.

Zhou Yixiu said, "With Mrs. Qi so concerned for me, I’m under great pressure; if Mr. Qi Sr. gets upset and sets another trap for me, I wouldn’t even know how I died."

It seemed he had restrained much, seeing him like this, Ji Yunhuan wasn’t interested in talking more with Zhou Yixiu, saying, "Then I won’t disturb you."

As long as Zhou Yixiu wasn’t targeting her and Qi Cheng, that was good.

Just as Ji Yunhuan was about to leave, Zhou Yixiu called after her, "Mrs. Qi."

Ji Yunhuan stopped, Zhou Yixiu’s gaze settled on her face as he said, "When you see Mr. Qi Sr., tell him Old Man Qi has already passed, without this support, he should be cautious."

"..." Ji Yunhuan didn’t miss the fleeting coldness in Zhou Yixiu’s eyes; from his expression, it was clear Zhou Yixiu bore a deep hatred for Qi Cheng.

After all, Qi Cheng had made him suffer a significant setback.
