Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 33 The Engagement Gift for Her_1

Ji Yunhuan felt some regret, knowing she had spoken too harshly. She softened her tone, "I’m just worried about you. Don’t run away like that next time."

Ji Chen suddenly said, "Sis, I don’t want to stay in the hospital anymore."

"What did you say?" His words made Ji Yunhuan’s face turn completely cold.

She valued Ji Chen more than her own life. No matter what, she did not want Ji Chen to leave the hospital. But now, her dearest brother said he didn’t want to stay in the hospital anymore.

Ji Chen looked at her, an unprecedented determination in his eyes. "Anyway, my illness can’t be cured, right? I don’t want to spend my last days in the hospital. I admit, it’s very selfish of me, but... I don’t want to burden you anymore."

At this point, he glanced at Qi Cheng, standing aside, and his gaze slowly turned cold. "And I certainly don’t want you to be with a man like him because of me."

Ji Yunhuan was taken aback, "A man like that?"

Last time, he had clearly regarded Qi Cheng as his brother-in-law.

"You don’t need to hide it from me. I know everything. He has so many women. With your personality, if it wasn’t for me, how could you be with him? Sis, if staying in the hospital means you have to sacrifice so much for me, I’d rather leave this world sooner. At least I wouldn’t burden you anymore."

He had heard about Qi Cheng from the Gu Family Residence.

Otherwise, he would never have known that his sister married a playboy because of him.

Qi Cheng stood aside, feeling Ji Chen’s full disdain towards him.

It was the first time someone had dared to show such blatant contempt for him.

No wonder they were siblings. The two of them were remarkably alike in their bones.

Ji Yunhuan pulled a long face, "Enough. Have you thought about how I’d feel when saying these things? If you continue like this, I’ll pretend you’re not my brother."

"Then just pretend I don’t exist! At least I won’t drag you down anymore."

Ji Chen was more stubborn than ever. Ji Yunhuan felt a surge of helplessness.

She knew that once her brother was stubborn, he wouldn’t easily change his mind.

But...

She didn’t know how to persuade him right now.

Marrying Qi Cheng was indeed a reluctant choice for her. She had thought that as long as her brother knew Qi Cheng was her husband, it would be enough. He stayed in the hospital every day and wouldn’t know what was happening outside...

Thinking about this, she wished she could skin everyone from the Gu Family Residence alive.

"If you’re saying things like that, it only proves that I misjudged you." Ji Yunhuan said, her face cold, not daring to let Ji Chen see her guilt. She said to Chen, "Besides, why do you think I’m with Qi Cheng just for you? He’s so good, no woman wouldn’t like him. I’m the same."

"You’re my sister. I understand you. You’re different! If it weren’t for me dragging you down, you’d never be with a man like him. He just wants to play with you. Can’t you see that?"

"You..."

Ji Yunhuan wanted to say more, but Qi Cheng had already walked to her side, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. He said to Ji Chen, "It seems Chen has a lot of misunderstandings about me?"

"Misunderstandings?" Ji Chen said disdainfully, "A man like you who only plays with women. If it weren’t for me, how could my sister be with you? You’re just taking advantage of her vulnerability. In short, don’t have any dealings with my sister anymore."

Every word he said pierced Ji Yunhuan’s ears.

She was very afraid Qi Cheng would get angry because of this.

Although Chen said she shouldn’t be with Qi Cheng anymore, she had no intention of giving up just like that.

To her surprise, Qi Cheng didn’t get angry.

He sat beside Ji Yunhuan and explained, "I’m with your sister because I genuinely like her, not just to play around."

"All men who deceive women say that. You’re a liar!" Chen gave him no respect.

"Then what if I told you your sister and I are already married?" Qi Cheng said firmly.

Chen was stunned, "What did you say?"

"If you don’t believe me, I can show you our marriage certificate. I admit, I wasn’t a good man before, but after meeting your sister, I genuinely fell for her. If I just wanted to play with her like you said, I’d just give her money. Why would I marry her?"

"He’s telling the truth?" Chen looked at Ji Yunhuan in disbelief. She had never mentioned this.

Ji Yunhuan nodded, "Yes, it’s true. The day we visited you was the day we got our marriage certificate, which is why I asked you to call him brother-in-law."

She hadn’t wanted to tell Chen about her marriage to Qi Cheng, as she wasn’t sure when Qi Cheng would ask for a divorce.

But now that Qi Cheng had mentioned it, she had no choice but to play along.

Qi Cheng continued, "I understand how you feel about your sister. But now she’s my wife. I’ll do everything to be a good man for her and never let her suffer, so I hope you can give me a chance to prove myself."

His ’sincerity’ moved even Ji Yunhuan, the person involved.

Naturally, Chen was also swayed.

To eliminate the last bit of doubt in Chen’s eyes, Qi Cheng said, "It might be hard to trust my words now. Take good care of yourself. When you’re better in a couple of days, I’ll arrange for you to stay at our house. You can live with us and see for yourself. Then you won’t worry that I’m deceiving you, right?"

Ji Yunhuan widened her eyes in surprise and glanced at Qi Cheng. Was he serious?

Chen was so smart. If he saw them together every day, he would soon realize they had no feelings for each other!

Moreover, he didn’t really love her, so it didn’t seem necessary to go that far.

However, Chen was persuaded.

To avoid making Ji Yunhuan unhappy, he would rather believe that someone truly loved his sister.

After a whole day without a chance to eat, Ji Yunhuan finally left the hospital to get some clear answers.

As soon as she left the ward, she asked, "Qi Cheng, do you really mean it? You’re really going to take Chen to your home?"

"I’ll have the best medical conditions prepared for him. Don’t worry, in my home, it won’t be worse than here. In fact, that’s the best place for Ji Chen. He’s been in the hospital for five years. Do you really have the heart to let him stay here forever?" He was confident he hadn’t made the wrong decision. Ji Yunhuan wouldn’t oppose it.

Ji Yunhuan’s heart was hit by his words, "But why are you doing this? Don’t you think he’s a burden?"

"In your heart, is he a burden?"

Qi Cheng countered.

Ji Yunhuan denied, "Of course not."

"Then that’s all that matters. And you don’t have to be too grateful to me. Just consider it... part of my bride price."
