Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 459: Returning to the Qi Family (3)_1

"Let me hold him," Qi’s mother said.

Ji Yunhuan did not refuse.

She handed the baby to Qi’s mother.

Qi’s mother sat down with the baby and played with him. Because he was full and content, Ruirui didn’t cry or fuss.

After dinner, a few adults competed to hold the baby downstairs, while Ji Yunhuan helped Qi Cheng wash his hair in the room.

She gently scratched his scalp. "Does this pressure feel right?"

"Mhm." Ji Yunhuan lowered her head and noticed that Qi Cheng did not seem as resistant to her today as he did the day before. She smiled and said, "Ever since Ruirui came back, you haven’t been angry anymore!"

Yesterday, he ignored everything she said. Even when he occasionally spoke, there was no trace of kindness in his words.

Qi Cheng glanced at her after hearing her words. His attitude had changed not because of his son but because of what Bai Liyan had said. He feared that if he treated Ji Yunhuan poorly, Bai Liyan might take her away.

"Grandpa said he won’t stop us from being together anymore." Qi Cheng suddenly said.

Ji Yunhuan paused while washing his hair. She looked at him and reached out to rinse the foam from his head. "Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you?" His voice was cold, seemingly irritated by her distrust.

Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng. "Then you won’t have to work so hard anymore."

She spoke to him gently.

Qi Cheng glanced at Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan said, "If you still hate me, I’ll leave once you recover."

When he returned to the Qi family, he would no longer need her care.

Although she did not want to leave him, she also did not want him to misunderstand that she chose to leave when he was in trouble and returned when he became wealthy.

"Leave?" Hearing this, Qi Cheng’s face, which had just softened today, turned cold again. "You still want to leave?"

Ji Yunhuan’s voice was gentle, "Didn’t you say you didn’t like me? You’ve always been asking me to leave."

He suddenly grabbed her hand, causing her some pain. Qi Cheng stared into her eyes with a domineering look. "From now on, even if I tell you to scram, you are not allowed to leave."

"..."

"You are not allowed to leave on your own." Qi Cheng stared at her coldly. "If it happens again, I will never forgive you."

"So, are you willing to forgive me this time?" Though she felt she did not deserve forgiveness.

Qi Cheng snorted. "Let’s see how you perform."

"..."

After washing his hair, Ji Yunhuan helped blow it dry and even trimmed it a bit shorter.

A handsome hairstyle emerged.

Though...

It seemed to have some minor flaws, but fortunately, he was recuperating at home every day and did not need to go out, so he didn’t mind much.

She looked at him and said proudly, "How’s the hairstyle I gave you?"

He glanced at it. "Ugly."

"..." Ji Yunhuan laughed, "It’s my first time cutting someone’s hair. It’s not bad for a first attempt."

"You started by cutting my hair?" He raised an eyebrow, incredulously.

Seeing his disgruntled face, Ji Yunhuan said, "If you really don’t like it, I’ll call a professional hairstylist immediately. I was only worried that others might disturb you."

As she turned to leave, he grabbed her hand, his face strained. "No need."

"Didn’t you say it’s very ugly?" She knew he cared about his appearance most of the time.

"Anyone who dares call it ugly, let them come forward." He was very serious.

Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng, then sat back down and looked at him. "Seems like you really like the hairstyle I gave you!"

He glanced at her and remained pridefully silent.

A servant came in from outside, carrying a bowl of medicine. "Mr. Qi, this is the cough suppressant soup your wife made for you."

"Leave it."

He stood up and walked to the sofa to sit down. Ji Yunhuan instructed the servant to clean up the hair clippings on the floor.

He didn’t seem bothered and directly drank the soup brought by the servant.

That night, after coaxing the child to sleep, Ji Yunhuan lay down on the bed and found that Qi Cheng was still awake.

"Feeling any better?" He had been on IV drips for the past two days, causing his hand to swell, without showing any signs of improvement.

"Better." He said in a hoarse voice.

Ji Yunhuan put her hand on his forehead. "Still hot to the touch."

He looked at her, and Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but pinch him. "It’s all because of you. You let yourself deteriorate, never paying attention to your health. Are you happy now?"

Being this sick, who knows when he would recover.

"As long as you’re by my side, even dying would make me happy." He said stubbornly.

Ji Yunhuan rolled her eyes at him. "Then why don’t you hurry up and die? After you die, I can be with someone else."

Although she had returned now, seeing him in such a state worried her deeply.

Father Qi and Mother Qi stayed for five days before leaving. By the time they left, Qi Cheng’s health had improved somewhat, though the progress was slow.

Ji Yunhuan stayed with Qi Cheng at a villa in Jiangling for two more days before returning to City A. Mother Qi sent someone to pick them up. They didn’t return to Qi Cheng’s own place but went back to the Qi family home.

Because Qi Cheng was still ill, Mother Qi couldn’t rest easy and naturally wanted to keep him close to take care of him properly.

This time upon returning, Ji Yunhuan’s mindset was different from before.

Previously, when she came here, it was either in secrecy or under compulsion. She did not dare to have any association with the Qi family. This time, Grandpa had agreed not to oppose them anymore, so she could return openly and justly.

They were still in the car when she looked at Qi Cheng beside her. He was holding Ruirui, his attention entirely on the baby. Ji Yunhuan looked at him and felt a warmth in her heart.

It was his willingness to risk his life that earned them this opportunity.

Thinking of this, she felt she was letting him down.

Sensing her leaning on him, Qi Cheng looked at her. "What’s wrong?"

Ji Yunhuan said, "I’m wondering why you are so handsome."

"..." Qi Cheng looked at her with disdain and then continued focusing on the baby.

Soon, the car stopped in the courtyard of the Qi family home. The driver opened the door, and Ji Yunhuan got out, took the baby, and waited for Qi Cheng. City A was quite warm, but he wore thick clothes. Before leaving, Ji Yunhuan insisted on putting a scarf on him. Because it was a gesture of her care, he reluctantly accepted it.

Ji Yunhuan looked at him. "Isn’t it warm here?"

Qi Cheng looked at the house without much nostalgia.

Mother Qi heard they had arrived and came out to greet them before they even entered the house. "You’re back."

She was very enthusiastic.

Ji Yunhuan, who was used to being neglected by her before, found it hard to adjust, but she could tell that from now on, Mother Qi would no longer oppose her relationship with Qi Cheng.

Although she had stayed for almost a month here last year, it was only now that she felt she had truly come back.

Inside, Mother Qi kept examining Qi Cheng, constantly concerned about his condition, fearing that his illness might have worsened during the two days she was not in Jiangling.
