Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 923: I’m Afraid I Can’t Accept It

"What’s the matter? Are you trying to use your power against me again? Looking to give me trouble? Madam Zhou, I’m calling you that to save your face. Do you really think you’re somebody? You’re nothing but a plaything for Mr. Zhou Sr. Once he’s gone, what do you think you’ll be? The Qi brothers won’t stop until they destroy you, and then you’ll have nowhere to cry." Ji Yunhuan looked at Xia Duo with disdain, unable to understand why this woman was so foolish.

Xia Duo looked at Ji Yunhuan unwillingly. Although Ji Yunhuan was right, her pride wouldn’t allow her to hear the truth from Ji Yunhuan. She hated that Qi Cheng disliked her because of Ji Yunhuan, "That will be a matter for the future. What you’re saying now makes me very unhappy, you know?"

"What if you’re unhappy? Planning to set me up like you did with Ji Min last time?" At the mention of Ji Min, Xia Duo felt endless pain. She hated Xia Duo to death.

Now, Xia Duo’s appearance once again made Ji Yunhuan remember those unpleasant things.

Xia Duo didn’t intend to admit that she was behind Ji Min’s situation here. She chuckled, "I have no idea what you’re talking about."

"Even if you play dumb, it doesn’t change what you’ve done." Ji Yunhuan looked at Xia Duo, her hands involuntarily clenching. She knew she couldn’t do anything about Xia Duo now, but one day, she would make this woman pay.

"I’m not here to argue with you." Xia Duo glanced at Qi Cheng, still reeling from his earlier words. She looked at Qi Cheng regretfully, "I just came to see you. If you don’t want to see me, so be it. Just consider my visit wasted."

"..."

Not wanting to create conflict with Ji Yunhuan in front of Qi Cheng and be labeled a bad woman, Xia Duo quickly left.

Watching her leave disgruntled, Ji Yunhuan didn’t retract her gaze for a long time.

After Xia Duo left, Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan, "You really dislike her?"

"Yes." Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng and suddenly smiled, "Want to know what kind of relationship Xia Duo had with you before?"

"She wasn’t an ex-girlfriend, right?" The look in Ji Yunhuan’s eyes gave Qi Cheng a bad feeling.

Ji Yunhuan said angrily, "Why not? She was."

"..." Qi Cheng was speechless. In his mind, he saw himself as a good man, and he had always aspired to be one. But being described this way by Ji Yunhuan made him feel embarrassed, "How could that be? Just how many ex-girlfriends do I have?"

"Plenty more that haven’t come to light yet! You were such a jerk in the past, a bad man!" Upset by Xia Duo, Ji Yunhuan didn’t hold back with Qi Cheng.

Listening to Ji Yunhuan’s tirade about his past self, Qi Cheng felt mortified, "Maybe I shouldn’t remember the past then."

"Why?"

"I’m afraid I can’t accept it." Qi Cheng found it hard to believe and began to doubt his life. What kind of man was he back then!

Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but find it both frustrating and amusing, "Are you trying to escape reality?"

"I just don’t want you to dislike me. You don’t like the old me, do you?"

"I don’t." Ji Yunhuan frowned, but thinking deeply, she realized she didn’t dislike Qi Cheng that much. She looked at Qi Cheng and said, "Though there were excessive parts, he has become much better since then."

At least, when he dislikes a woman, he no longer gets entangled.

Ji Yunhuan had never before appreciated his coldness and heartlessness as she did now.

Even if he had been involved with those women, in the end, he could decisively abandon them.

Compared to his current indecisive self, she still preferred that cold and ruthless him.

"Oh." Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan incredulously.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t understand it either. She originally intended to irritate him but ended up comforting him.

By the time they returned home, it was already evening. Ji Yunhuan took his hand, leaving the unpleasantness of meeting Xia Duo behind, feeling exceptionally happy at that moment.

"Qi Cheng." Just as they entered the door, Ji Yunhuan heard a familiar voice.

Cheng Yanxi had arrived at some point and was standing right in front of them.

Even upon seeing Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng holding hands, Cheng Yanxi’s eyes did not change at all, and seeing this made Ji Yunhuan feel terrible.

"Yanxi, why are you here?" Qi Cheng hesitated for a moment but still asked.

Cheng Yanxi pretended not to see the two holding hands and with genuine concern, said to Qi Cheng, "I was worried about you, so I came to check. I also brought Dr. Daniel."

To be objective, such a considerate and generous Cheng Yanxi would move even Ji Yunhuan. After all, despite seeing her together with Qi Cheng, she still cared about Qi Cheng and didn’t show any jealousy, always thinking of Qi Cheng.

But for the same reason, Ji Yunhuan disliked this woman even more because Cheng Yanxi truly gave her a sense of crisis.

Having heard Qi Cheng talk about Cheng Yanxi before, Ji Yunhuan imagined a woman who would accept the Qi Family’s bribery and betray her feelings wouldn’t be that great. But upon meeting her, Ji Yunhuan realized how poor her imagination was.

Cheng Yanxi was indeed such a great person, the type suited to marry and bring home as a wife. This alone made Ji Yunhuan, who was cold and not very pleasant, constantly needing Qi Cheng’s tolerance, feel very pressured.

Because, when she saw foolish women like Xia Duo and Lin Xiang, she only felt disdain and contempt, but when she saw Cheng Yanxi, she felt like she had gained a strong competitor.

Qi Cheng said gratefully, "Thank you."

After all, Cheng Yanxi meant well, and she came all the way here just to care for him.

Cheng Yanxi looked at Qi Cheng, "How are you today? Are you well?"

"Hmm." Qi Cheng nodded and was about to walk over to Cheng Yanxi, only to find Ji Yunhuan pulling on his hand tightly.

Though Ji Yunhuan tried hard to keep her expression composed, her jealousy was already evident.

She couldn’t stand Cheng Yanxi being around Qi Cheng and wished Cheng Yanxi would disappear immediately.

Qi Cheng glanced at Ji Yunhuan and said, "Yunhuan."

He wanted Ji Yunhuan to let go.

"I don’t want you to go to her." Ji Yunhuan felt that if she let go, Qi Cheng would go to Cheng Yanxi again. Although he didn’t see anything wrong with it, she hated the atmosphere when Qi Cheng and Cheng Yanxi naturally interacted. It made her feel extremely repressed and very sad.

"I just want to talk to Yanxi." Qi Cheng persuaded helplessly.

Clearly, when Cheng Yanxi wasn’t around, Ji Yunhuan wasn’t like this.

"Is there anything you can’t say in front of me? I don’t want secrets between us." He promised that he would make things clear to Cheng Yanxi.
