Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 853:

She just wanted to help him, but couldn’t even manage that. Such a powerless version of herself yet naively dreamt of balancing with Qi Cheng.

Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but find herself ridiculous.

She stood up, intending to leave for a bit and find a place to adjust her emotions, but a pair of hands grabbed her arm, pulling her back. She fell into Qi Cheng’s arms, forced to sit on his knee, tightly held in his embrace.

Even with so many servants and two kids in the restaurant, his actions were domineering enough that she couldn’t refuse.

"Let go of me, the kids are still here."

"Don’t mind them," Qi Cheng whispered dominantly in her ear, "If you’re upset, come cry in my arms. I don’t want to see you cry because of me, but I don’t want you hiding away to cry alone either."

Ji Yunhuan was left speechless by his words. She felt a sour ache in her heart and disregarded the stares from the children and servants, leaning into his arms and clutching his shirt tightly.

Her voice trembled with sorrow, and perhaps because she was in his embrace, the tears flowed even more freely.

On the way here, she’d already held back for a long while, or you could say, she’d wanted to cry ever since Zhou Yixiu threatened her.

But she was used to enduring it. She hadn’t expected in the end she couldn’t hold back, letting him see her most ridiculous side.

She said to herself self-critically, "I’m worried about you, wanting to do something for you, but after seriously thinking it over, I realize I’m too powerless, I can’t do anything, can’t help at all."

Ji Yunhuan’s words also made Qi Cheng feel a pain in his chest; for a man to make his woman cry is the most powerless kind of expression.

He didn’t voice any comfort to Ji Yunhuan. In his opinion, if she wanted to cry, she should do so in his arms. In comparison, he feared her constant suppression and restraint more, after all, people need to vent their emotions. Before meeting him, Ji Yunhuan was too strong-willed, which made her personality so cold, leading others to dislike her.

But she was clearly also a gentle girl. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

She just didn’t care to show her gentleness to those who didn’t understand her.

Qi Cheng looked at the two children who were sitting quietly, "What are you looking at, not eating?"

His unfriendly tone made Ji Yunhuan want to cry and laugh at the same time.

She sat up and said to Qi Cheng, "Don’t be so harsh with the kids, okay?"

Qi Cheng said, "You can stay in my arms a little longer. I like pampering you like this, just like pampering my own child."

"Don’t take advantage of me," Ji Yunhuan controlled her emotions, pushed Qi Cheng away, and got out of his embrace.

After a good cry, Ji Yunhuan found her mood much lighter. She sat in the chair, ate seriously, and didn’t talk about Lan Tian’s company issues with Qi Cheng anymore.

With such things happening at the company, she couldn’t help even if she wanted to.

But since Qi Cheng could let it go, she had no reason to hold onto it either.

After all, she had already decided, no matter how he changes, she will stay by his side, never leaving or forsaking.

In the middle of the night, Qi Cheng was drowsy with sleep when the woman beside him suddenly crawled over and held him, "Qi Cheng."

"What?" he mumbled sleepily; he really was quite tired.

Ji Yunhuan hugged him, "No matter what happens to your company, no matter if you’re still Boss Qi, in the future, I will always, always be by your side. I won’t leave you."

"..." Even though Qi Cheng knew she wasn’t someone who cared about whether he had money or not, hearing this still chased away much of his sleepiness.

He held Ji Yunhuan in his arms and answered in a low voice, "Mm."

After he responded, he felt the woman who had been hugging him and talking drift back into deep sleep.

After a long while, Qi Cheng felt something wasn’t quite right. How did he just realize she was sleep talking?

Was she teasing him?

The next day, when Ji Yunhuan woke up, she found Qi Cheng already awake, not knowing when she had ended up sleeping on top of him. Qi Cheng was looking at her with a doting gaze.

She slowly moved off him, worried that she had been pressing on him for too long and made him uncomfortable. She went back to her pillow and apologized, "Sorry."

She always thought she was a good sleeper, didn’t expect to have such ungraceful times.

Qi Cheng chuckled, "It’s okay, you like to be close to me like this."

"You like taking advantage of me!" Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but scorn him, wondering how she fell in love with such a man, "Qi Cheng, you’re really something else."

"Then just don’t say anything." He held her hand under the covers, "I’ve calculated, you can sleep a bit longer, and once you’re rested, we’ll go out."

The flight is in the afternoon, no need to rush.

Ji Yunhuan leaned against his side, "Can’t sleep anymore."

"Oh."

"But I also don’t want to get up." Ji Yunhuan added, "I just want to stay with you like this forever."

She heard his joyful laugh.

Sighed, "Go on, laugh at me; I know I’m getting more childish as I live."

"Good girl." Qi Cheng held her hand, "I feel the same way as you."

"Right, I got infected by you." Ji Yunhuan opened her clear eyes, looking at Qi Cheng.

Feeling infinitely warm this morning.

Even though she knew he was under immense pressure, it couldn’t stop her from being happily with him.

She leaned in and kissed his chin, a tender kiss, one of cherishing, where her gentleness and sweetness could be felt with each touch.

Qi Cheng took advantage of the moment, turned over, and pressed her beneath him, "Want it?"

"..." She didn’t speak, continuing to kiss him proactively. However he interpreted it was fine, but she just loved him uncontrollably.

Of course, Qi Cheng thoroughly satisfied her.

When the two came downstairs, the two children were already dressed, looking as dashing as ever.

The family flew to France. During the entire process, the servants took care of the two kids; Qi Cheng only had to look after Ji Yunhuan.

He pampered her to the core.

After her parents left, Ji Yunhuan never imagined anyone would spoil her as much as Qi Cheng did.

After leaving City A, it felt like distancing themselves from all the chaos, yet Ji Yunhuan still felt uneasy about Qi Cheng.

She always sensed that with Lan Tian’s troubles, Qi Cheng’s pressure wouldn’t be small; he simply didn’t want to show it in front of her.

Therefore, she irresponsibly left the two kids in the castle, taking Qi Cheng out to wander around.

They could have breakfast on the streets of Paris and head to Lyon for dinner. They played around for days, almost making Ji Yunhuan forget about the two kids she’d left behind in the castle.
