Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 953: Most Afraid He’s Not by My Side
Thinking about how this man endured so much for her, she truly didn’t know what she could do to repay him.
"Stop looking at me like that." Qi Cheng lowered his head, not daring to meet Ji Yunhuan’s eyes, "You shouldn’t even be here."
"If you’re afraid the surgery will fail, I’m telling you, it doesn’t matter to me, I can face it."
"But I don’t want you to face it." Qi Cheng’s voice was tinged with urgency. He looked up at Ji Yunhuan, "This is the only thing I can do for you, can’t you just let me do it this one time, pretend you don’t know anything?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Yunhuan felt her nose tingling, "There are many things you can do for me, we’ll grow old together. This isn’t the last thing, you don’t need to do this so-called last thing for me. Don’t you feel that having such negative thoughts is very unfair to me?"
"..." Qi Cheng tightly pressed his lips together without speaking.
Ji Yunhuan looked at him, "Qi Cheng, don’t be like this. By doing this, you’re making me lose faith in continuing to live. Before coming here, I decided, if you really want to push me away, fine, I’ll go. But from then on, you’ll lose me."
"I’d rather lose you." He steeled his heart to say.
He didn’t want to be threatened by Ji Yunhuan at this moment.
"Even if I die, you wouldn’t care?"
Ji Yunhuan’s words made Qi Cheng suddenly lift his head, looking at her...
His eyes filled with deep helplessness.
Ji Yunhuan walked up to him, knelt on the bed with one knee, and hugged Qi Cheng, choking up, "Please don’t force me to leave, okay? To me, I’ve already gone through the toughest times, I survived your silent disappearance. What’s left for me to fear?"
Qi Cheng remained silent.
Ji Yunhuan held him tightly and didn’t want to let go, "Qi Cheng, Qi Cheng, you know how much I care about you, and how afraid I am of your absence. Being with you, the thing I want most isn’t to live in happiness with you, but to hope that in times of trouble, I can face them with you. That’s my only reason to live, do you understand?"
Qi Cheng reached out, held Ji Yunhuan, pulled her into his arms, and cradled her face.
"I’m sorry, I’m late in coming back."
Even if he’d appeared in front of her before, he would never admit that he had truly returned.
After all, after returning, he hadn’t done any good for her, always, always making her sad.
Even now, he was still causing her to cry for him in grief.
He truly felt he was being very unfair to Ji Yunhuan like this.
But for Ji Yunhuan, Qi Cheng being able to return to her side was the greatest blessing given by the heavens.
"Welcome back." Ji Yunhuan looked at him, restraining her sadness.
She felt that with his return, there was nothing to be sad about anymore.
Despite facing so many challenges and tests, after going through these things, Ji Yunhuan felt there was nothing more despairing than his not loving her.
As long as love remained, it seemed everything else would pass.
Ji Yunhuan released Qi Cheng, got out of bed, and handed him the clothes placed beside them, "Get up and get dressed first."
Qi Cheng glanced at her, "So you really did prepare these clothes for me."
Ji Yunhuan said, "You figured it out?"
"Anything about you, how could I not know?" As long as she had been there, even if she left nothing behind, he could capture her scent lingering in the air.
This is how much he loved this woman, loved her to death.
Ji Yunhuan helped him change clothes and went out with her.
Last night when she came over, Yangyang and Ruirui hadn’t come down, so in the morning, the two children wouldn’t disturb her either.
Ji Yunhuan could focus her mind and attention fully on Qi Cheng.
Just as they went downstairs, they saw Assistant Gao standing off to the side of the staircase, his face serious.
Qi Cheng sat down on the sofa, and Assistant Gao followed behind him.
"Something you want to say?" Qi Cheng took the initiative to ask.
Assistant Gao wore a guilty expression, "I’m sorry sir, I told madam everything."
"..." Ji Yunhuan had deliberately said it was from Zhou Yixiu to exonerate Assistant Gao, never thinking he’d come forward to admit it.
"I knew this had something to do with you." Qi Cheng’s attitude was cold.
Ji Yunhuan said, "Qi Cheng."
Hadn’t she already communicated this with him?
Why did he need to give Assistant Gao trouble now?
Assistant Gao said, "I overstepped on this matter; as an assistant, I had no right to decide your personal matters, so... here is my resignation."
From the moment he called Ji Yunhuan yesterday, Assistant Gao had already made up his mind.
Although his intentions were good, he indeed did something an assistant shouldn’t have done, regardless of the outcome, he should take responsibility.
Qi Cheng glanced at the resignation handed to him, took it, and looked at Assistant Gao again, "You really know how to make your boss look bad."
"Having been by your side for many years, to me, nothing is more important than you, sir. Although what I did was wrong, I do not regret it. If I had to choose again, I would still tell madam."
"Assistant Gao." Ji Yunhuan looked at him anxiously, "You did the right thing, there’s no need to resign."
She had thought, if Qi Cheng got angry, she would persuade him.
After all, from him, she could ask for any privilege.
But before she even opened her mouth to Qi Cheng, he had already decided, "Since you’ve thought through your fallback, once you complete the work handover, you can leave."
"Yes." Assistant Gao nodded and cast a final glance at Qi Cheng, "Take care, sir."
"Assistant Gao." Ji Yunhuan wanted to call him back, but Assistant Gao had already left.
Ji Yunhuan’s gaze fell on Qi Cheng, "Enough, Qi Cheng? Assistant Gao clearly didn’t do anything wrong, how could you treat him like this?"
"He did wrong." Qi Cheng grasped Ji Yunhuan’s hand, "I say he was wrong, so he was wrong."
"You’re being a tyrant," Ji Yunhuan protested.
"He ruined my resolve to protect you, don’t you think he was wrong?"
"But he was doing it for your own good."
"My answer is the same as yours, I don’t like others presuming to know what’s best for me." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"You’re too much." Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but pinch him, "I really don’t know what to say to you like this."
