Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 445: Heartache for Him_1

Qi Cheng had worked so hard for so long. If she couldn’t even do this little thing for him, she would really go crazy.

Ji Yunhuan heated the food in the microwave and brought it out, placing it on the table. To make doing tasks easier, she casually tied her curly hair with a hairband, making her look even more gentle and kind.

After placing the dishes, she took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks, one for each of them.

Qi Cheng looked at her. "You didn’t eat dinner."

"I did." She served the rice while saying, "But now I’m hungry again."

After saying that, she smiled at him.

Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan. "You waited for me on purpose, didn’t you?"

"Of course not." She denied it and placed a bowl in front of him. "Come on, eat up."

He held her hand. "I’ve told you that you don’t have to wait for me."

He came home late, and she always waited for him. Being alone made him feel terribly guilty.

After all, the waiting time was the longest.

Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng and didn’t respond to his words. "Hurry up and eat, no talking."

Qi Cheng looked at the table full of dishes and smiled.

No matter how hard it was outside, being able to have a meal with her was probably the happiest thing.

Seeing his satisfied smile, even the corners of Ji Yunhuan’s eyes were filled with happiness.

Qi Cheng gave up everything just to be with her. If she only focused on her own life every day and didn’t care about him, then they wouldn’t have much time together.

What would be the meaning of such a life?

So even though he might scold her out of worry, she still had to wait for him.

Sleep together, wake up together.

No matter how hard it was for him, she wanted to be by his side.

In the morning, as soon as he went out for work, she would head to the nearby market to buy fresh vegetables. By the time she got back, the baby would be awake.

It was now January, and spring had begun, but the chill of early spring made it still cold in the morning when going out.

Every day when she went out, she wrapped herself up like a warm teddy bear. However, no matter how cold it was, Qi Cheng always managed to leave calmly and on time.

Such a noble person, walking on the cold roads before dawn fully broke.

Every time she watched him leave, her eyes would well up with tears.

"How does it taste?" Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng eating at the table. The house was warm with the heater on, and he wore a sweater, looking handsome with a gentle warmth.

He nodded and praised, "Your cooking is getting better and better."

"Isn’t it?" Ji Yunhuan felt a bit proud. "I learned a lot from the aunt before she left."

Since then, she knew that one day she would take on the responsibility of cooking for the family.

Qi Cheng paused and looked up at her after hearing her words.

He felt very tender towards Ji Yunhuan.

"You’ve worked hard."

"What’s so hard about it? Being able to take care of you every day is the happiest thing in the world for me. Don’t you think?"

She knew that Qi Cheng felt the same way.

So when she said this, he should be able to understand her feelings.

Qi Cheng nodded. "Let’s eat."

After eating, Ji Yunhuan asked him to go take a shower first. She cleaned up the dishes downstairs before going upstairs.

Qi Cheng came out after showering, and his pajamas were placed at the door. She had been very considerate recently, preparing everything for him.

He got dressed and walked out, and Ji Yunhuan was already in bed.

He got on the bed and lay down next to her.

Every day at this time was the happiest for him. He didn’t have to face others and could be by her side.

Ji Yunhuan reached over to hug him. "Are you tired?"

He looked at her. "I wouldn’t mind being a bit more tired."

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head. Ji Yunhuan didn’t avoid him; it had been too long since they had been intimate.

Since the last three months of her pregnancy until now, it had been five months since he had touched her.

Although he was already very tired from a day’s work, as soon as he smelled her scent, he felt rejuvenated.

"Is it okay?" Sweat dripped down, and his voice sounded very suppressed; he was trying hard to control himself. She had just given birth not long ago, and he was afraid of hurting her.

"Yes." She responded, "It’s been almost two months, it’s fine."

She knew he had been holding back. When she went for a check-up at the hospital, she even asked the doctor about it.

If it were before, when he wasn’t so busy with work every day, he probably would have done it long ago. Lately, he had been so busy with work that he hadn’t put much thought into it.

Ji Yunhuan originally thought that he was so tired during the day that he wouldn’t be able to last long. But in the end...

If he hadn’t been worried about her health, she guessed she wouldn’t have been able to get out of bed the next day.

After being messed with by him, she woke up the next morning and Qi Cheng had already gone out. She didn’t even know when he left.

Ji Yunhuan still waited for him late at night.

They had dinner together and went to bed.

In the middle of the night, she heard coughing by her ear, waking her up. She reached out and touched his forehead, finding that he had a bit of a fever.

He worked so hard every day, and it was so cold outside. It was normal for him to catch a cold.

Ji Yunhuan got up, went to the medicine box, and found some cold medicine, poured some water, and woke him up.

"Qi Cheng."

He woke up and looked at the medicine she handed to him.

Ji Yunhuan said, "You’ve got a bit of a cough. Take some medicine so it doesn’t get worse."

"I’m fine." He didn’t want her to worry.

But he still took the medicine and quickly swallowed it.

"Go back to sleep, stop fussing. It pains me to see you like this." He glanced at her.

Ji Yunhuan put the cup down and went back to bed.

Because he had taken medicine, he didn’t seem as bad.

But the next night, when Qi Cheng came back, his cough was much worse than the previous night.

Ji Yunhuan gave him the cough medicine like the night before, but he remained the same after taking it.

She lay next to him. "Qi Cheng, how about you not go to work tomorrow? Let’s go to the hospital and have you checked out."

It was letting him go to work that made it worse.

Qi Cheng said nonchalantly, "It’s just a cough. It will be fine after taking medicine. I’m okay."

He and Ji Yunhuan didn’t have much money. He didn’t want to rest or waste money on seeing a doctor at the hospital.

"Qi Cheng." Ji Yunhuan was very worried about him.

Qi Cheng heard her words and comforted her. "I’ll go tomorrow. If it gets worse, I’ll come back and rest at home. If I suddenly leave my job, the boss will be mad."

The Qi Family was always causing trouble behind his back, so he cherished every job he found.

Ji Yunhuan nodded helplessly.

During the day, Qi Cheng worked in a restaurant in the morning and then went to a café in the afternoon. The café wasn’t too busy, so he could use the time to draw designs.

When he squandered money in the past, he didn’t know that making money was so hard.

Now he felt that time was really not enough, wishing a day had forty-eight hours.
