Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 455 Qi Mu Soft-hearted_1

Though he could not control his heart beating for her, he did not want to forgive her.

After all, she had already abandoned him and chosen Bai Liyan.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t dare touch him; she could only watch him from afar until he entered the room to sleep. Only then did she feel at ease. She said, "You rest first. I’ll make dinner. If you need anything, just call downstairs. Don’t move around yourself."

After speaking, Ji Yunhuan went back to cooking.

When dinner was ready and brought up, Qi Cheng was still coughing incessantly. She planned to call the doctor to see him after he finished eating.

After an entire afternoon, surely his anger would have subsided by now?

"Qi Cheng, dinner is ready," Ji Yunhuan said.

He lay on the bed, motionless.

She walked over, lifted the quilt, and saw him leaning against the pillow, struggling to endure, his head burning hot. She placed her hand on his forehead, then brought a wet towel to wipe his face.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, looking at Ji Yunhuan in front of him with a cold stare. He wanted to push her away, but she grabbed his hand. "It’s time to eat."

He glanced at her. "Get out."

"I made it myself. Eat a little." She looked at him gently. "It’s only been a few days, but look at how you’ve become."

"..." To her, it had only been a few days, but to him, it felt like endless centuries.

Seeing he didn’t respond, Ji Yunhuan brought over a bowl filled with fragrant rice porridge and some dishes, all made lightly, not greasy.

He always disliked eating oily food when he was ill.

Seeing her bring over the food, he hated her pretentious manner. Instinctively, he swung his hand, knocking everything to the ground. The hot porridge spilled on Ji Yunhuan, and she cried out in pain.

"Ah—"

Hearing this, Qi Cheng subconsciously glanced at her. Worry quickly flashed in his eyes, then he looked at her coldly. "Get out. I told you to get out!"

Ji Yunhuan looked at him, took a towel to wipe off the porridge from her hands, then crouched down to clean up the mess.

She never thought Qi Cheng would hate her this much.

But thinking back, on the day she left, she had been equally heartless—she hadn’t even asked his opinion, just followed Bai Liyan away.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and a group of people rushed in, including her big brother, Qi father, Qi mother, and Grandpa Qi.

The chaotic scene in the room fell into their eyes. Seeing this, Qi mother walked in distressed, "Qi Cheng!"

As a mother, seeing her son like this brought tears to her eyes immediately.

She looked at Qi Cheng, unable to believe that in such a short time, her son had become like this.

After tidying up the messy floor, Ji Yunhuan threw everything into the trash can. Qi Cheng lay on the bed, while Qi mother said painfully, "I told you not to be with this woman, but you didn’t listen and ended up like this."

In all these years, as a mother, Qi mother had never seen him like this.

Back in the Qi Family, even if he felt a little uncomfortable, a crowd of servants would be there to care for him.

When he was young and ill, no matter how busy she was, Qi mother would always find time to be with him.

In the Qi Family’s three sons, he was the most cherished one.

Compared to Qi mother’s anxiety and sorrow, Qi father and Grandpa Qi remained unusually silent.

"Why didn’t you call a doctor?" Grandpa Qi’s stern voice resounded.

The big brother waved his hand, and soon the doctor arrived.

Grandpa Qi asked them in disappointment, "How can you not take good care of a person? What good are you?"

The lead doctor said ashamedly, "It’s Mr. Qi Cheng who refused treatment. No matter what we said, he wouldn’t agree."

Qi Cheng’s unbearable coughing echoed in the room once again. He looked at the group of uninvited guests, "What are you doing here?"

Qi mother saw his cold expression and said painfully, "Your big brother said you were seriously ill, so we came to see you."

"I have already severed ties with the Qi Family. My life and death have nothing to do with you." Qi Cheng clearly didn’t want to accept the Qi Family’s kindness. Their appearance here was merely to force him to separate from Ji Yunhuan.

Even though the Qi Family had achieved their goal, he didn’t want to forgive them.

He couldn’t forgive.

The care they offered meant nothing to him since he couldn’t have what he wanted most.

Qi mother sighed, "We are doing this for your own good. Even if you don’t understand, how can you treat yourself like this?"

"Yunhuan, come out for a moment." The big brother’s voice spoke up in the room.

Ji Yunhuan glanced at him. With Grandpa Qi, Qi father, and Qi mother all here, there was no place for her. Staying here was of no use.

The big brother led Ji Yunhuan out the door. Qi father, Qi mother, and Grandpa Qi remained in Qi Cheng’s room.

Ji Yunhuan looked at the big brother, thinking he had something to discuss with her, but he only said, "Wait downstairs."

Ji Yunhuan looked at the big brother, not understanding his meaning, but she still nodded. It seemed the big brother wanted to leave the space for Qi Cheng and his family.

She quickly went downstairs. The big brother stood in the corridor outside, watching her back silently.

The sound of Qi Cheng’s coughing occasionally came from the room. Grandpa Qi told the doctor, "Cure him."

Though Qi Cheng could still speak, anyone could see from his appearance that he was seriously ill.

The doctor went over, and Qi mother sat by the bed, hoping Qi Cheng would be more obedient.

Seeing the medical staff approach, Qi Cheng said coldly, "I said I won’t accept any help from the Qi Family."

Qi mother said, "Qi Cheng, don’t be stubborn. Your health is most important."

"Nothing is important." Qi Cheng was very stubborn.

He didn’t want the Qi Family’s pity. After all, they were the ones who forced him into this. Even so, he wouldn’t compromise or let anyone think he would give up Ji Yunhuan.

Qi mother looked at him helplessly, "Be obedient, Qi Cheng. For my sake, won’t you listen? It hurts me to see you like this. I didn’t raise you to be so willful."

Qi Cheng looked at his mother, "Yes, I’m this willful. Even if I die, I won’t return to the Qi Family."

The doctor changed hands to give Qi Cheng an IV. As soon as the needle was inserted, he pulled it out again, seemingly feeling no pain at all.

Seeing this, Qi mother finally cried. As Qi Cheng’s mother, she understood too well what he was thinking, fearing they would force him to leave Ji Yunhuan.

Before coming, Qi mother had already heard about Qi Cheng’s condition from the big brother. Qi Cheng had made himself like this entirely because Ji Yunhuan wanted to leave him.

For that woman, he didn’t even care about his own life.
