Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 859: Dreaming of Him Leaving

Thinking for a moment, Xia Duo said, "Your dad is not easy to deal with. If I speak for you, he will dislike me."

After all, Old Man Zhou loved Zhou Yixiu very, very much. No matter what Zhou Yixiu did wrong, Old Man Zhou would side with him.

Zhou Jinlian listened to Xia Duo and said, "You don’t need to speak for me. You just need to mention my brother’s recent moves."

This time, Zhou Yixiu lost a significant amount of money.

To cover it up, he spent a lot more on arrangements. If the old man found out, Zhou Yixiu would certainly be considered inept by him.

After all, he couldn’t even deal with Qi Cheng, the most inconspicuous member of the Qi Family.

That’s right, because Qi Cheng never gets involved in that circle and only rolls in the business world, he is the most inconspicuous in the Qi Family.

Little did they know, Qi Cheng’s business acumen isn’t something Zhou Yixiu can easily exploit for his advantage.

Up until now, Zhou Jinlian still felt that collaborating with Qi Cheng was incredibly worthwhile.

If Zhou Yixiu stumbled with Qi Cheng’s elder brother or anyone else, it wouldn’t make him seem so incompetent!

Xia Duo raised her eyebrows after hearing Zhou Jinlian, "I’ll try my best."

"Take care, stepmom. Goodbye stepmom, safe travels." Zhou Jinlian eagerly escorted Xia Duo into the car before returning to the hotel to continue hosting his guests.

Even though he spoke like that in front of Xia Duo, he was still very polite in front of Qi Cheng. After all, he didn’t want to suddenly have Qi Cheng as an enemy for no reason.

Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng were together all the time. In the public eye, his actions were always affectionate.

The anger provoked by Xia Duo slowly dissipated because of Qi Cheng’s attitude.

That evening the two returned home.

After several months, they finally returned to Qi Garden. Now the weather had grown much colder, and Yangyang’s birthday had also passed.

Ji Yunhuan sat on the sofa after drinking milk, and Qi Cheng, after his bath, sat down in front of her, "Aren’t you tired? I thought you would already be asleep."

Back in the car, Ji Yunhuan was unbearably sleepy and had taken a nap.

Qi Cheng carried her upstairs, intending for her to sleep soundly, but she woke up before reaching the bedroom.

Ji Yunhuan said, "After a bath, I feel much more awake."

She looked at Qi Cheng. After attending the party hosted by Zhou Jinlian, she realized her worries over the time period were unnecessary.

Everything was just Qi Cheng’s plan to trap Zhou Yixiu.

The loss of Lan Tian was merely his pawn, and Zhou Yixiu, instead of gaining anything, lost a lot.

Ji Yunhuan always knew Qi Cheng was skilled in business, but she didn’t expect he could make Zhou Yixiu appear so pitiful.

She couldn’t help but feel a bit envious of his abilities.

"Come here." Seeing her eyes fixed on him, Qi Cheng extended his hand to her.

Ji Yunhuan sat in his lap, looking at Qi Cheng gently. Being this intimately together was her happiest time.

Now that Zhou Yixiu was dealt with, Ji Yunhuan no longer had as much to worry about.

Qi Cheng held her hand, trying to say something, but he held back. Instead, Ji Yunhuan spoke first, "Why didn’t you tell me you were dealing with Zhou Yixiu? You had all of us worrying about you."

"That’s your own stupidity for not seeing it," Qi Cheng said arrogantly.

Ji Yunhuan laughed in anger, "Worrying about you is a mistake? I couldn’t tell because I’m stupid. But what about big brother and them? They misunderstood too, right? It’s your fault for not explaining, isn’t it?"

Qi Cheng said, "You’re all equally foolish."

"That’s discrimination! How can you discriminate against me?" Ji Yunhuan glared at Qi Cheng, "To think I was so worried about you! You deliberately kept it from me to make me fret over you every day, right?"

It wasn’t that Ji Yunhuan wanted to overthink, but even if he told her everything, she wouldn’t possibly betray him. By doing this, he was isolating her. How could she not think more?

Qi Cheng guiltily held her hand, "Did anything happen before? Wasn’t everything fine every day? I told you not to worry, but you wouldn’t believe me."

Even being blamed by Ji Yunhuan, Qi Cheng was still very happy.

Because, if not for this, Ji Yunhuan wouldn’t have agreed to give him a daughter!

He said, "You promised before that, once Ruirui is older, you’ll give me a daughter. Don’t forget that."

"How dare you bring that up?" Ji Yunhuan widened her eyes, "Qi Cheng! Don’t you think you’re being excessive? While I was worrying about you, you were plotting something so shameless!"

Thinking about it made her feel more and more unsatisfied. How could he deceive her to earn her sympathy? 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan and smiled, "What’s wrong with wanting to have children with my wife? Don’t scare me! I think I did quite well!"

"..." Ji Yunhuan stared at him, speechless.

Qi Cheng, watching her gaze filled with grievance, didn’t tease her much longer, "Let’s go to sleep, sweetie."

He held Ji Yunhuan as they lay down on the bed, "Now that Zhou Yixiu’s issue is temporarily resolved, there’s no need to worry so much."

Ji Yunhuan heard Qi Cheng’s words and naturally felt unhappy. To be honest, she never wanted to see Zhou Yixiu’s arrogant demeanor in front of her again.

For a while, Ji Yunhuan even dreamed of Qi Cheng being driven to nothing by Zhou Yixiu, causing her to often have troubled sleep.

Fortunately, now Qi Cheng had won, leaving Zhou Yixiu looking very embarrassed. This meant both she and Qi Cheng could finally relax.

Lying on the bed, Ji Yunhuan felt unprecedentedly relaxed and soon fell asleep.

-

In the deep of night, Ji Yunhuan was startled awake from her dream, having her hands suddenly grasped.

Qi Cheng was woken by her, grabbing her arm, "What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Ji Yunhuan opened her eyes wide, seeing Qi Cheng right beside her and not having gone anywhere, her heart finally settled.

She held onto his pajamas, "Qi Cheng."

"What?"

"I don’t want you to leave me."

"Are you silly? How could I ever leave you?" Qi Cheng was amused by her words.

Watching his gentle smile, he had her lie back down on the bed, "Sleep now, sweetie."

Ji Yunhuan lay on the pillow, covering her forehead with her hand, "It’s really frustrating; I wanted a good sleep but ended up having a nightmare."

"Maybe your sleeping posture was off," Qi Cheng said beside her with care.

"What posture is considered good then?" Ji Yunhuan asked him, puzzled.

Qi Cheng moved closer, extending his arm to wrap her in his embrace, "Like this."

Listening to him, she was speechless: "..."

"At a time like this, you still joke with me."

"Just teasing you," Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan, "Sleep well and don’t think about irrelevant things. How could I ever leave you?"
