Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 973: Daughter Fell Asleep

The father’s days are numbered, he said he wanted to see his grandson, so Zhou Yixiu had no choice but to bring Zhou Luo over to oblige.

"Bring him over so I can take a look." Ignoring the presence of the Qi Family brothers, Zhou Jilin was somewhat impatient.

In his current state, he wasn’t sure how much longer he could live.

At this moment, he really wanted to see his grandson.

For people like them, an heir means hope.

Back when Zhou Yixiu didn’t have a son, Zhou Jilin often scolded him for it.

Zhou Yixiu brought the child over, and Qi Cheng stood by the side, saying, "Young Master Zhou is really adorable."

Zhou Yixiu bit his lip, not looking at Qi Cheng. Feeling guilty, he thought every word of Qi Cheng’s was full of implications.

The elder brother looked at the scene in the hospital room and said, "Uncle Zhou, take care of yourself. We’re heading back now."

"Take care, Yixiu, see them out."

Although there was a lot of tension between the two families in the past, at this moment, Zhou Jilin hoped Zhou Yixiu would lower his head and ease the awkwardness with the Qi Family.

After all, they could no longer contend with an enemy like the Qi Family.

If, in the past, the passing of the grandfather had weakened the Qi Family, then Zhou Jilin’s illness was a catastrophic blow to the Zhou Family.

Even Zhou Yixiu, without connections, was powerless.

So at this time, Zhou Yixiu dared not stir up trouble; he could only endure, endure everything, for he was no longer the illustrious eldest young master of the Zhou Family.

Zhou Yixiu had a servant look after the child and saw the elder brother and Qi Cheng out.

Qi Cheng glanced at Zhou Yixiu, speaking as if they were old friends catching up, "It looks like Mr. Zhou is doing well recently."

"Thanks to Mr. Qi’s concern, I’ve been alright." Knowing full well that Qi Cheng was mocking him, Zhou Yixiu could only pretend not to understand.

Qi Cheng laughed because he had never seen this side of Zhou Yixiu before.

At the door, Zhou Yixiu said to the elder brother, "Take care, Mr. Qi."

The elder brother didn’t undermine him, maintaining a polite attitude.

Qi Cheng was about to catch up with his elder brother when Zhou Yixiu proactively called out to him, "Qi Cheng."

"What’s up?" Qi Cheng lazily glanced at Zhou Yixiu.

"Let’s talk." It was clear Zhou Yixiu had something to say to Qi Cheng.

The elder brother paused to look at Qi Cheng. Knowing well that Qi Cheng and Zhou Yixiu didn’t get along, he wasn’t comfortable with the two of them speaking alone.

Qi Cheng did Zhou Yixiu a favor, volunteering, "Brother, go ahead to the car!"

Qi Cheng knew Zhou Yixiu wouldn’t dare do anything now.

Moreover, even if Zhou Yixiu did something, Qi Cheng wasn’t afraid of him.

"So, what is it?" Seeing the elder brother get in the car, Qi Cheng asked proactively.

Zhou Yixiu stared at Qi Cheng, feeling all his nerves tense up.

What he most wanted to keep secret, Qi Cheng already knew.

He wished Qi Cheng would just shut up for good.

But in his current situation, confronting Qi Cheng was akin to courting death.

Zhou Yixiu suppressed his irritation and smiled, "I know you still resent me for past events, but you’ve had your revenge without holding back. I was thinking, maybe we could become friends again in the future."

"..." Qi Cheng looked at Zhou Yixiu in surprise, "Saying something like that doesn’t seem like you. Right now, you probably wish you could kill me, don’t you? After all, I know the secret you least want anyone to know."

This provocative remark from Qi Cheng only made Zhou Yixiu’s anger flare even more.

In Zhou Yixiu’s mind, Qi Cheng was really asking for a beating.

He knew full well how hard this was for Zhou Yixiu, yet he deliberately brought it up to rub salt in someone’s wound.

Seeing Zhou Yixiu remain silent, Qi Cheng said, "Though I know Mr. Zhou loves children, I didn’t expect you to love this much. From the looks of it, is Mr. Zhou planning to raise this child as his own?"

"You..." Zhou Yixiu almost let his anger out.

He wanted, in a fit of rage, to end his relationship with Qi Cheng.

Qi Cheng, however, took a step back, his tone becoming mild, "Rest assured, I won’t speak of your matters. After all, it brings no benefit to me. Rather than letting everyone know what you’ve done, I’m more interested in watching you in distress."

Qi Cheng finished and politely said, "I have things to do, so I’ll head off first."

Stepping off the stairs, Qi Cheng felt Zhou Yixiu’s gaze on him and smiled.

That Zhou Yixiu would take this child as his own, preparing to let him inherit the Zhou Family, was something Qi Cheng never expected.

The driver opened the car door, and Qi Cheng got in. The elder brother observed his nonchalant demeanor after conversing with Zhou Yixiu and curiously asked, "Since when do you and Zhou Yixiu have topics to discuss? Weren’t you two always at each other’s throats?"

"I used to hate him, now he hates me. He wants to talk to me, why wouldn’t I humor him?" Qi Cheng looked at his elder brother and laughed, "I’m fine, don’t worry, brother."

He knew his elder brother worried he might suffer at Zhou Yixiu’s hands, but things were different now.

Zhou Yixiu was no longer the Zhou Yixiu of old, and Qi Cheng, too, was not the same Qi Cheng as before.

The elder brother said, "As long as you’re okay."

Recalling how Qi Cheng was once imprisoned by Zhou Yixiu for so long, the elder brother actually feared Qi Cheng might hold a grudge over those past events.

To Qi Cheng, having been kidnapped as a child, his personality had significantly changed after that incident.

From a sunny boy, he grew somewhat withdrawn.

People always have reservations about shadows from their childhood, but from the looks of it now, there was no need to worry much about Qi Cheng.

Halfway, the elder brother told Qi Cheng, "You go home first, I have to make a stop elsewhere."

"What, work?" Qi Cheng asked curiously, looking at his elder brother. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The elder brother didn’t say anything, instructing the driver to pull over and got into another car.

Qi Cheng didn’t think much of it, having the driver take him back to the Qi Residence.

Having gone out with his elder brother for a bit, he felt uneasy after being away from Sister Yin for just a few hours.

When he got home, he saw Ji Yunhuan holding Sister Yin, who was already asleep.

Qi Cheng walked over, and although he didn’t show it, Ji Yunhuan sensed his anxiety.

She looked up at Qi Cheng, "Why did you come back alone? Where’s your brother? Weren’t you two out together?"

"Brother said he has something to do, asked me to come back first." Qi Cheng looked at the daughter in Ji Yunhuan’s arms, his eyes filled with fatherly love.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Look at you, barely gone for a while, can’t wait to rush back to see your daughter. You never treated me this well, I’m jealous!"

"You’re even jealous of your daughter?" Qi Cheng fixed his gaze on his little princess, speaking softly, afraid to wake Qi Yin.
