Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 802: Eating, Drinking, Having Fun, and Cherishing My Wife
Until she left the hotel, Ji Yunhuan still remembered Zhou Yixiu’s gaze. She stood by the car and leaned against the car door as her attendant looked at her, "Director Ji, are you alright?"
Ji Yunhuan said, "I’m fine. Maybe the air conditioning inside made me a bit uncomfortable."
She felt somewhat ridiculous, as Zhou Yixiu had only said one thing—there was no need for her to be so scared of him!
Qi Cheng had arranged for Ji Yunhuan to have dinner at the restaurant on the 99th floor of Jingyang Tower, so she went directly there by car in the evening.
Standing atop the tall building, looking at the scenery below, she felt a sense of overlooking the world.
Qi Cheng pushed open the restaurant’s revolving door and walked in. The attendant was about to speak, but he stopped them, took off his coat, handed it to a nearby attendant, and walked over to Ji Yunhuan, seeing her intently gazing out the window. Qi Cheng teased, "Someone told me that fools love high places. It seems you’ve really become one."
Ji Yunhuan turned around and looked at him, arriving late, "A person who is late dares to call me a fool?"
Qi Cheng reached out and pulled Ji Yunhuan into his arms, "You are not a fool, yet you keep staring at the scenery outside? You didn’t even notice me come in."
He dresses meticulously every day, without a single flaw. His shirt buttons were undone by two, revealing his enticing collarbone.
The two were very close, and she could smell his fresh aftershave on his face, as Ji Yunhuan smiled and said, "Let’s eat!"
After sitting down, Qi Cheng said, "I heard you went to the company today?"
Ji Yunhuan nodded, "Mm."
Qi Cheng asked, "What’s wrong? Is there a problem at the company again?"
"No!" Ji Yunhuan was a bit surprised, not understanding why he would have such an idea.
His palm gently rested on her forehead, "Dear, you have something on your mind."
Whenever she harbors something in her heart, Qi Cheng could tell just from a single glance.
Ji Yunhuan knew she couldn’t hide it from him, so she confessed, "Because I met Zhou Yixiu today."
"That’s why." Qi Cheng asked with concern, "Did he bully you?"
Seems like that man really has a death wish?
Qi Cheng hated anyone who made her unhappy.
Ji Yunhuan said, "He didn’t bully me, just told me to remind you that Grandpa has passed, to be careful."
People like Zhou Yixiu, so insidious, when they focus on seeking revenge on someone, they are truly unpredictable.
Therefore, Ji Yunhuan was afraid he might do something bad to Qi Cheng again.
Listening to Ji Yunhuan’s words, Qi Cheng held her hand on the table, "Darling, don’t be upset. You’re falling into his trap."
"Is that so?" Ji Yunhuan looked into Qi Cheng’s eyes, seeking some comfort in his gaze.
"Mm." Qi Cheng said, "If he didn’t say that, how else would he make you anxious and uneasy, right?"
"Yes." Qi Cheng made sense, and Ji Yunhuan had to agree.
Moreover, she also tried hard to believe in Qi Cheng.
Qi Cheng confidently said, "A clever person like Zhou Yixiu should understand that I’m not easy to deal with. If he really wanted to do something to me at this time, he wouldn’t let you say these things. He’s merely dissatisfied with the last incident, not wanting to see us live a comfortable life. Rest assured, he won’t do anything!"
Qi Cheng’s eyes were filled with deep affection, making it hard not to believe his words.
Ji Yunhuan nodded and said, "Mm, I believe you."
The waiter served up dinner, and Qi Cheng said, "These are custom-made. Your favorite dishes. This chef is quite good; try them out."
Ji Yunhuan elegantly tasted a bite and nodded, "Very good."
"I carefully selected these dishes, if they’re not good, how would I dare serve them to you?"
Qi Cheng’s words made Ji Yunhuan laugh, "You waste your thoughts on such useless things every day."
Since Grandpa passed away, even her brother, who used to accompany her sister-in-law at home every day, went busy, only Qi Cheng had the leisure to accompany Ji Yunhuan for meals and dates here.
Qi Cheng did not feel ashamed of his behavior, "Life is nothing more than eating, drinking, playing, and loving your wife. If I don’t accompany you for meals every day, what else should I do?"
He’s already earned enough money, and now every day he just thinks about how to spend it, so he doesn’t need to waste too much thought.
Ji Yunhuan said, "I understand eating, drinking, and playing, but is there something about loving your wife?"
Qi Cheng picked up the wine on the table and took a sip, his eyes full of tenderness, "What do you think?"
Ji Yunhuan laughed.
The two sweetly finished their meal and returned, then they went to the Qi Family.
Qi’s father has been in a bad mood lately; Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng always show concern.
As Ji Yunhuan followed Qi Cheng into the house, she felt the heavy atmosphere inside.
Her older brother came downstairs, and Qi Cheng greeted him, "Brother."
The older brother had no time to respond, just casually said "Mm" and headed out.
As soon as the brother left, the sister-in-law came downstairs, and Ji Yunhuan worriedly looked at her, "Did you have another argument with Brother?"
"No." The sister-in-law denied it, "It’s about work."
She seemed to also care about her brother.
"So that’s it."
Ji Yunhuan worriedly glanced at the direction where her brother left, "Is Brother okay?"
She’d never seen her brother lose his temper over work before.
The sister-in-law said, "Just some minor work issues, nothing serious."
Since Grandpa passed away, the sister-in-law and brother have not quarreled again.
Grandpa’s passing has somehow affected them.
The sister-in-law still cares for her brother, at least not to undermine him at such times.
"What minor issue can make Brother so concerned?" Qi Cheng asked.
This matter should be more complex than what the sister-in-law says, as Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan had never seen Brother so angry over work.
The sister-in-law said with a complex expression, "It’s related to the Fang Family."
"Uh..." The Fang, it must refer to Fang Zihuan.
The sister-in-law said, "Fang Zihuan’s uncle has been transferred to your brother’s department, and now he’s your brother’s superior."
Fang Zihuan’s father passed away early, and he grew up with Uncle Fang. His uncle had no children and always treated him as his own, spoiling him.
While Grandpa was alive, Uncle Fang seemed to be concerned and kept a low profile, taking care of Brother even when they were in the same department.
But after...
Grandpa just passed, and Uncle Fang started causing trouble.
And the branch his brother belongs to, all the authority lies with the second uncle over there. Previously, due to the Family Head issues, there was discontent, and the second uncle knowingly turned a blind eye, pretending not to notice.
Qi’s father can’t manage over there. Moreover, Qi’s father now has his own matters to attend to, so he can’t look after Brother.
So now, Brother is naturally very upset with Uncle Fang.
