Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 444 Waiting for Him to Get Off Work_1

Since Ji Yunhuan gave birth to their child, she had been diligently managing her body. She didn’t want to let herself go and become unattractively unkempt.

"I have something to tell you." Lin Xiang spoke in a cold tone.

Seeing that she came in alone, Ji Yunhuan stepped aside. "Come in."

After Lin Xiang came in, she looked around. This was her second visit here. Compared to last time, when the place had just been ransacked by her grandfather, the apartment now exuded an indescribable warmth.

The sense of family was so strong that it made Lin Xiang feel uncomfortable.

She sat on the couch. Out of politeness, Ji Yunhuan poured her a glass of water. After all, it wasn’t easy for Lin Xiang to come all the way here in the freezing weather.

Staring at the cup placed in front of her, Lin Xiang said bluntly, "I just went to see Brother Qi Cheng."

She was undoubtedly here because of Qi Cheng. Ji Yunhuan wasn’t surprised. "Oh, really?"

Lin Xiang stared at Ji Yunhuan, her eyes filled with anger. "How could you let Brother Qi Cheng work as a waiter in a restaurant? Don’t you think that’s too much?"

"I’m too much?" Ji Yunhuan replied indifferently. "I don’t think so. No matter what he does, he works hard to earn his living. There’s nothing wrong with that!"

"Brother Qi Cheng is such a noble person, yet he’s..."

Thinking about Qi Cheng doing that job made Ji Yunhuan feel guilty too, but what could she do?

Ji Yunhuan said, "Qi Cheng has the freedom to do whatever he wants, the important thing is his happiness. If he doesn’t want to do something, I can’t force him."

Lin Xiang looked at Ji Yunhuan, tears falling down. "Do you even love him? I really doubt it."

Ji Yunhuan was startled by the sight of her tears.

Lin Xiang continued, "If you truly loved him, how could you bear to watch him suffer so much for you? You know very well that he’s been pushed to the brink by the Qi Family. Just because he’s with you, he couldn’t even find a normal job. He has to endure all kinds of difficulties working in a restaurant. Why, after all this, do you still not realize your mistakes? For your sake, do you know he works multiple jobs every day? For your sake, do you know he forces himself to smile every day? Meanwhile, you stay in this heated room, enjoying the material life his hardships bring you, completely oblivious to his pain. If I were you, I would let him go, let him return to his old life. Someone as noble as him shouldn’t suffer like this! Do you understand?"

As she spoke, tears kept falling. Lin Xiang truly felt sorry for Qi Cheng, so much that it pained her, but there was nothing she could do for him.

After all, even if she wanted to help Qi Cheng, he wouldn’t accept it.

Listening to Lin Xiang’s words, Ji Yunhuan also felt uncomfortable. Recently, Qi Cheng had been coming home later and later. Each time he returned, he was exhausted and had very little time to chat with her at night.

When he came home, he still had to draw design plans. She felt that he was sleeping less than five hours each night, but he always pretended everything was fine in front of her.

She knew he was only suffering because he loved her.

He didn’t need to work so hard, but to prevent her life from being harsh and to make life better for her and the baby, he kept pushing himself.

Just like how he used to do for Chenchen.

She understood that feeling very well.

Hence, she understood how much Qi Cheng loved her.

She didn’t want to think if being with him was the right decision.

If she was hurting him.

After all, staying by his side was the only thing she could do for him. It was also the only way she could repay him.

Once she chose to give up, they would have to part ways and become people from two different worlds. She didn’t want that, and she feared giving him up once more.

After all, he had risked his life in front of his grandfather for her.

Faced with such a man, what could she do? What was she capable of doing?

If she gave up, it would be like hurting him all over again.

Seeing Ji Yunhuan silent, Lin Xiang adjusted her emotions and pleaded, "Ms. Ji, I’m begging you, let him go. If you let him go, I will beg my grandfather to allow Qi Cheng to return to the Qi Family. He shouldn’t continue suffering like this."

Ji Yunhuan looked at Lin Xiang indifferently. "You’d better ask Qi Cheng instead of me. If he wants to leave, I won’t stop him."

But if Qi Cheng didn’t want to leave, she would respect his decision.

She had nothing in the first place. He gave her everything. Now that he had given up everything for her, how could she feel right about leaving voluntarily?

Seeing Ji Yunhuan’s obstinance, Lin Xiang became angry. "You’re selfish. You let him lose everything for you. Does that make you happy? Ji Yunhuan, you’re the most selfish woman I’ve ever seen! He’s the way he is today because of you. Back when you were happy, you didn’t cherish him, and now you make Brother Qi Cheng suffer with you!"

Knowing that Lin Xiang was emotionally agitated, Ji Yunhuan remained silent.

She had thought about everything Lin Xiang was saying a thousand times over.

But at this point, there was nothing more to say.

She only knew she couldn’t give up.

Seeing Ji Yunhuan not respond, Lin Xiang gave up too.

She sighed, "Think about it. As long as you’re willing to leave Brother Qi Cheng, I won’t treat you poorly."

With that, Lin Xiang left.

Watching Lin Xiang leave, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but smirk disdainfully.

She initially thought that no one was paying attention to her and Qi Cheng being here. Now it seemed Lin Xiang had never given up and had always been watching them.

Lin Xiang, who always claimed to want the best for Qi Cheng, wouldn’t even beg her grandfather to set them free. She insisted on making her grandfather torment them.

Maybe in Lin Xiang’s eyes, this was how she could get Qi Cheng.

Calling her selfish while running over to chastise her.

If this had been before, Ji Yunhuan would have certainly kicked her out.

But since having the child, she was much more temperate than before.

At night, like always, Qi Cheng came home close to midnight. Ji Yunhuan had already changed into her pajamas. Hearing him come back, she went downstairs. He had just closed the door and, seeing that she was still awake so late, couldn’t help but complain, "Didn’t I tell you not to wait up for me?"

"I wasn’t waiting. I just happened to wake up. Doesn’t it show we have a connection?" Ji Yunhuan laughed playfully.

The truth was, she had been waiting for him all night.

Qi Cheng took off his coat, and Ji Yunhuan quickly took it from him, saying, "You must be hungry. I’ll heat up some food for you."

"I can do it myself." He didn’t want her to be busy for him at this late hour.

"I’ll do it." Ji Yunhuan hurried to the kitchen before him. Being able to do something small for him seemed to be her only meaning now.
