Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 852: Unable to Help Him

It was more than just an accident. Ji Yunhuan even thought that after such an incident, Qi Cheng would certainly be too busy to even come home for days.

But he was just sitting there, even able to show her a gentle smile.

Ji Yunhuan felt her heart was somewhat out of control.

She suppressed the worry that had been devouring her heart all along the way and walked over to Qi Cheng very calmly, "You came back so early today?"

"Don’t you like me coming back a bit earlier?" Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan and said, "I want to spend more time with you."

He also knew he had been busy with work recently, but after what happened yesterday, where did he have the mind for it? 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Ji Yunhuan listened to Qi Cheng and sat down beside him, observing Qi Cheng, feeling no pressure from him. On the contrary, he seemed much more energetic.

But she quickly realized that maybe it was exactly because he was under enormous pressure that he wanted to appear calm in front of her.

He didn’t want her to see any pressure, nor did he want her to worry.

He always considered her first, no matter what happened. It had always been his habit.

Ji Yunhuan always felt she had found the best man in the world. He would always think about protecting her and taking care of her...

Therefore, when she saw that Qi Cheng wanted to hide everything, she didn’t say anything to ruin the atmosphere.

She just looked at Qi Cheng, letting her heart relax with him. Maybe that was the only thing she could do for him!

"I just went to the market, bought lots of fresh ingredients, I’ll cook for you tonight."

"That’s great." Qi Cheng also smiled, as though her cooking for him was the happiest thing in his life.

Because he was behaving so relaxed, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t bring herself to ask the questions she originally had planned to ask.

Qi Cheng said to Ji Yunhuan, "I’ve already asked Assistant Gao to book the tickets; we’ll go to France tomorrow morning."

"Are you going by yourself?" Since he was leaving tomorrow, he came back early today, wanting to spend more time with her.

Ji Yunhuan thought she understood his intention, but then Qi Cheng said, "No, I’m taking you and the two little ones."

To be honest, Qi Cheng’s words startled Ji Yunhuan. Wasn’t he supposed to be troubled about Lan Tian’s matters right now? Wasn’t he supposed to be worried about Lan Tian’s issues? Why was he... thinking of taking her and the children on a trip?

Even in the evening while cooking dinner in the kitchen, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t figure out this question.

With doubts in her heart, while cooking, she tried to suppress her curiosity. She didn’t know how to ask so it wouldn’t upset Qi Cheng, yet shed light on her thoughts.

She could only let herself be so anxious while maintaining a façade of calm.

Ji Yunhuan instructed the servant to bring the finished dishes outside first. Perhaps because she had been cooking frequently lately, her culinary skills had improved a lot.

She had never thought of taking pride in her cooking skills, nor did she ever think she would become the dedicated chef of the family. But being able to cook for the one she loves was, in her eyes, a lifelong course a woman must take.

Ji Yunhuan finished cooking all the dishes and walked out of the kitchen, finding Qi Cheng already out with the two children.

The three of them sat at the dining table, and little Ruirui was drooling over the dishes.

But because Qi Cheng was there, not allowing him to act, he didn’t dare to move.

He loved to act spoiled in front of Ji Yunhuan, but deep down, he was still a bit afraid of Qi Cheng.

Because most of the time, Qi Cheng was very strict.

However, within a family, children having something to fear is undoubtedly a good thing. After all, such fear acts like a ruler, reminding him of what should and shouldn’t be done.

Ji Yunhuan came over, the rice was all served, "Let’s eat."

Hearing this, Ruirui seemed to be liberated, "Then I’ll start eating."

"Alright."

Ji Yunhuan watched him eat with relish and smiled.

He was not even two years old, so despite his great love for food, he couldn’t eat much.

Qi Cheng sat beside, watching his son’s eating manner, couldn’t help but laugh, "As if someone’s going to steal it from you."

Ji Yunhuan secretly peeked at Qi Cheng, feeling he was acting a bit unusual. Normally, would he have the mind to tease the child and observe his every move?

Qi Cheng turned his head, and Ji Yunhuan shifted her gaze guiltily.

But Qi Cheng still noticed.

"Why are you peeking at me non-stop?"

"I wasn’t!"

"Did you see the news?" Qi Cheng suddenly brought up the topic Ji Yunhuan had been interested in.

Ji Yunhuan felt like her heart paused for two seconds. She didn’t know why she was so afraid to bring up this issue.

She was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I saw Lan Tian’s incident and was worried about you; I didn’t expect you to come back so early today."

"That little thing is nothing; you don’t need to worry about it." Qi Cheng said, "Today just happened to have work arranged properly, so I came back. Compared to those, the thing I worry about most is my wife at home. I’m afraid when I’m not by her side, she’ll be unhappy alone."

His sweet words rolled off his tongue effortlessly.

Ji Yunhuan complained, "How come you’re still hung up on yesterday’s matter? I told you I’m fine, can’t you let it go?"

"Alright, alright, can’t I let it go?" Qi Cheng laughed, "You’re just afraid of me saying anything, I’m just concerned about you, okay?"

"The company had such a big issue, are you sure it’s okay not to check on it?" Ji Yunhuan looked worriedly at Qi Cheng.

Qi Cheng said calmly, "Whether I go or not doesn’t matter, just take it as me wanting to escape for a few days."

After saying this, he picked food for Ruirui, and Ruirui’s eyes looked at Ji Yunhuan, puzzled, "Mom, why are you crying?"

Ruirui’s voice made Ji Yunhuan instinctively reach to wipe her tears, only to find she was actually crying. She didn’t even know why she cried at such a moment.

Anyway, hearing Qi Cheng say this made her heart ache, it was as if she saw for the first time the vulnerability and exhaustion he had always refused to acknowledge.

The uncontrolled emotions wouldn’t stop.

Actually, even if her own company had problems, she wouldn’t be this sad.

Because she understood that no matter what problems she faced, in Qi Cheng’s eyes, they were small issues. But once Qi Cheng faced problems, she couldn’t help at all.

She was always thinking about balancing with him, wanting to have dignity in front of him, wanting to be capable, but now she realized that this so-called dignity and balance were just excuses for a woman to regain her self-esteem.

He could protect her, give her everything, protect this family.

But what about her?
