Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 924: The Replaced Position

But Ji Yunhuan always felt that as soon as Cheng Yanxi appeared, Qi Cheng would forget the things he promised her.

Qi Cheng looked helplessly at Ji Yunhuan, really not knowing what to do with her.

Cheng Yanxi laughed and said, "It’s okay, I just arrived too, just as Auntie said she wanted to prepare a room for me. You guys chat, I won’t be leaving in the next couple of days, we have plenty of chances to talk."

Cheng Yanxi gracefully turned around and went to find her room.

Dr. Daniel looked at Qi Cheng, "Mr. Qi."

Qi Cheng said to Ji Yunhuan, "Today should be the day for a check-up."

Ji Yunhuan loosened her grip on Qi Cheng only after seeing Cheng Yanxi leave. Qi Cheng sat down on the sofa, and the doctor took out all the medical equipment. Ji Yunhuan sat beside him, watching Dr. Daniel perform the check-up on Qi Cheng, and even asked him some questions about his memory...

Qi Cheng answered honestly.

The memories he managed to recall were still similar to before, just some fragmented pieces that could not be connected. He couldn’t obtain more information from them, and it seemed like it would take more time before he could fully remember.

The doctor said, "Not being able to recall memories isn’t important, but judging from the scans a few days ago, the blood clot in the brain shows no signs of dissipating and may very well require surgery."

Qi Cheng’s body had undergone many surgeries after he got injured. If possible, they truly hoped he wouldn’t have to risk brain surgery again. That’s why they had been monitoring the situation, but things didn’t seem to be improving now.

Ji Yunhuan knew Qi Cheng was ill, but the doctor never discussed these matters in front of her. The person who knew these things best was Cheng Yanxi. In fact, Ji Yunhuan didn’t even know that today was the day for Qi Cheng’s check-up...

She sneaked a glance at Qi Cheng and realized he hadn’t told her, which made her feel so irresponsible and willful, having taken him out for a day of fun.

When compared, Ji Yunhuan felt that she was indeed far inferior to Cheng Yanxi.

The doctor looked at Qi Cheng, "Have you felt any headaches over the past few days?"

"A bit, but not serious," Qi Cheng replied. Because it had been persistently aching, he had grown accustomed to it.

Ji Yunhuan secretly observed Qi Cheng’s somewhat pale face and then realized that he actually had a headache, something she hadn’t noticed at all, because no matter how she asked, he would always say he was fine.

The room was very quiet. Ji Yunhuan sat on the edge of the bed, constantly looking at Qi Cheng lying on the bed.

Ever since they came upstairs, she had been looking at him like this, making Qi Cheng feel a bit uneasy and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

"Why didn’t you tell me when you weren’t feeling well?" Ji Yunhuan’s voice was filled with self-blame, "You should tell me when you’re uncomfortable."

"If I had told you, I obviously wouldn’t have been able to go out with you. I wanted to be with you, to see different sides of you, rather than have you stay here, worrying about me."

He didn’t tell her simply because he didn’t want to see her worried eyes.

Ji Yunhuan felt even more remorseful as Qi Cheng spoke, "If it were Cheng Yanxi, she wouldn’t be like this, right? She would definitely be considerate of your feelings at all times, and you wouldn’t lie to her."

Therefore, Cheng Yanxi had always been very concerned about Qi Cheng.

While being with Qi Cheng, she only seemed to add pressure on him.

Qi Cheng reached out and held Ji Yunhuan’s slender fingers, "Ever since I came home, there have been so many people rushing to care for me, many people concerned about me, doctors, servants, and family members, all taking turns looking after me. I just thought there was no need for yet another person to worry about me."

"But I’m not just anybody." Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng, "Before you lost your memory, when you were uncomfortable, you didn’t want to tell others, but you would tell me."

Because he used to love using that opportunity to act spoiled with her.

But now, to avoid making her worry, he chose to keep it from her.

"Is that so?" Qi Cheng obviously didn’t expect that he used to be like that, "Then I must’ve been a burden to you, right? Just like before, I was always a burden to Yanxi."

"..." It turned out, her place had already been replaced by Cheng Yanxi!

Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng with disappointment, "So, she’s the one you trust the most, right?"

Qi Cheng nodded, "I know saying this won’t make you happy, but I don’t want to lie to you. When I can’t remember anything, Yanxi has taught me a lot, and it’s hard not to trust her."

"..." He spoke so innocently, making it so Ji Yunhuan really didn’t have the position to be angry now.

Because at this moment, she was reflecting on herself, also realizing how her baseless jealousy put a lot of pressure on Qi Cheng.

She was already so much worse compared to Cheng Yanxi, she didn’t want to fall behind anymore.

Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng, forcing herself not to think about the issues with Cheng Yanxi, "So, are you still feeling unwell now?"

"As long as I see you, I feel better." he looked at her tenderly.

"What silly talk?"

Qi Cheng’s eyes were filled with laughter, "For me, what was hard was a few days ago when I felt unwell every day and couldn’t see you. Now, even though there’s a headache, having you care for me seems to lessen the pain."

"Are you deliberately saying nice things just to cheer me up?" Ji Yunhuan smiled wryly, "Why do I feel all I hear from you are sweet nothings?"

"Everything I say is true." He held her hand tightly and said with sincere earnestness, "Can’t you feel it? I’m not lying, trust me."

Ji Yunhuan started to laugh, "You can now say false things to sound true."

"..."

Ji Yunhuan lowered her head, kissed him, and then reached out to hug him, "You trust Cheng Yanxi so much, it must be because she was with you through so many painful days. When I think of all the deep pain you suffered without me knowing, my heart feels incredibly saddened."

"Don’t be sad." Qi Cheng kissed her hair, "Being by your side now, I’m happy, you make me happy, which is something that no one else could do, including Yanxi."

Although Cheng Yanxi made him feel reassured, and he was willing to share his discomfort and pain with her, it was only with Ji Yunhuan that he felt completely satisfied.

Ji Yunhuan rarely heard him say in what way she surpassed Cheng Yanxi, "This is the only way I’m of any use to you."

The two of them lingered in warmth for a while until a knock on the door interrupted them.

Ji Yunhuan sat up, "I’ll get the door."

"Okay."

Ji Yunhuan walked to the door, twisted the handle, and unsurprisingly, it was Cheng Yanxi who had come.

Cheng Yanxi looked at Ji Yunhuan and said frankly, "I came to check on Qi Cheng, I heard from the doctor he wasn’t feeling well."
