Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 469: Such An Affectionate Call_1
Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Such An Affectionate Call_1
"What should I care about?" Ji Yunhuan rolled her eyes at him. "Being jealous?"
"Shouldn’t you be jealous for me?" Qi Cheng was unhappy.
She didn’t seem to have any sense of crisis.
Ji Yunhuan laughed, "What jealousy? If you really like her, why don’t you marry that perfectly suitable fiancée and stop tormenting me, not to mention going to Jiangling and almost killing yourself?"
After all he had been through, she had no reason to doubt him.
Qi Cheng sighed.
Ji Yunhuan asked, "Why are you sighing?"
"I realized something really distressing."
"How distressing?"
"When you doubt me, I feel sad. When you don’t doubt me, I feel really disappointed." He said seriously.
Ji Yunhuan smiled, "What’s there to be disappointed about?"
Qi Cheng said, "I don’t feel like you care about me."
"..." Ji Yunhuan didn’t bother to respond to him. "You’re just bored out of your mind. When you were sick nearly to death, you didn’t have time to think about these things."
At that moment, the phone rang. Ji Yunhuan pulled out her phone and saw it was Bai Liyan calling.
Qi Cheng was sitting next to her, so naturally he didn’t miss this scene. Ji Yunhuan answered the call, "Liyan."
"Is Qi Cheng feeling better?" Bai Liyan asked.
Ji Yunhuan glanced at Qi Cheng. "Yes, not too serious."
"That’s good," Bai Liyan said, "Don’t let him get worse again. It really worries people."
"Thanks for the concern."
They chatted briefly and then hung up.
Ji Yunhuan noticed Qi Cheng staring at her with a cold expression the whole time.
"What’s gotten into you?" She couldn’t help but laugh.
"You two seemed pretty close on the phone! Calling each other Liyan this, Liyan that, sounded so intimate." His face was full of jealousy.
"Jealous again?" Ji Yunhuan rolled her eyes at him. "What’s wrong with me calling him Liyan? Don’t you call him that too?"
"I’ve known him for many years. Of course it’s fine for me to call him that."
"My husband has known him for many years too. How else should I call him?" Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng.
Hearing what she said, Qi Cheng frowned, "You’re being cheeky."
Ji Yunhuan gave him a look, unable to handle his intense jealousy. "He’s just calling to check on you. What are you getting jealous for?"
"He can’t ask me directly?" Qi Cheng would not forget the fact that Bai Liyan harbored feelings for Ji Yunhuan. Back in Jiangling, Bai Liyan even threatened that if Qi Cheng didn’t treat Ji Yunhuan well, he’d take her away.
Thinking about this made Qi Cheng feel immense insecurity.
Compared to other men, he didn’t feel inferior. But if that person was Bai Liyan...
He not only felt jealous, he was insanely jealous.
After all, Bai Liyan was excellent.
As a man, even he felt lacking compared to Bai Liyan in many ways.
So when he thought about someone like that always eyeing his wife, Qi Cheng felt deeply tormented.
If it were another woman, once she fell in love with him, she would be wholeheartedly devoted. But in Ji Yunhuan’s dictionary, there was no such thing as wholehearted devotion. She always thought of running away.
If he hadn’t been seriously ill this time, she would definitely still be with Bai Liyan right now, especially considering she had even taken her son to look for Bai Liyan.
The thought of his beautiful wife and adorable son almost being taken away by Bai Liyan made him break out in cold sweats even while sleeping.
"He doesn’t want to disturb you," Ji Yunhuan said.
Qi Cheng was very angry. "Didn’t he also call yesterday?"
"Uh. Yes." Bai Liyan had called yesterday too.
Qi Cheng snorted disdainfully. "Called yesterday, called today, and both times asked about my well-being! He’s clearly..."
"Clearly what?" Ji Yunhuan blinked.
Qi Cheng glared at her faux-innocent act. "Clearly using this opportunity to flirt with you."
"Don’t use the word ’flirt.’ It sounds terrible!" Ji Yunhuan was very frustrated. "He’s concerned about you and hasn’t said anything else to me."
"He wants to hear your voice." They had just come back from Jiangling two days ago, and Bai Liyan had called Ji Yunhuan both days.
Thinking about that made Qi Cheng very jealous.
Ji Yunhuan said, "You’re not him."
"I know him!" Qi Cheng put down his bowl and stood up, looking very upset.
He went to soothe their child.
Ji Yunhuan followed. "Qi Cheng, are you really angry? When he calls next time, I can’t just not answer, right? Liyan helped us so much before. You can’t just burn your bridges like that!"
Even when Qi Cheng asked for his help, Bai Liyan had always been willing without hesitation.
Ji Yunhuan said, "If he really had any intentions towards me, would he still have helped us like before?"
"He wouldn’t have in the past, but that doesn’t mean he won’t in the future." Qi Cheng looked at her unhappily.
Ji Yunhuan stood behind him, looking at little Ruirui in his arms, and said to Qi Cheng, "He won’t."
"Can you say he doesn’t like you?" Qi Cheng glanced at her.
Ji Yunhuan thought of the time Bai Liyan had confessed his feelings to her. That was a long time ago, and Bai Liyan had never brought it up again since. He had always just treated her as a sister.
She tried to reassure him. "Even if he likes me, don’t I only have eyes for you? Do you have to be so paranoid?"
"..." Ji Yunhuan’s reassurance made Qi Cheng feel a little better, but only a little.
He glanced at Ji Yunhuan. "Anyway, I don’t like him calling you."
"Then I won’t answer next time." Ji Yunhuan said helplessly.
After Lin Xiang left, she hadn’t returned. Their second sister-in-law and Yangyang also left. Only Ji Yunhuan, Qi Cheng, and Qi’s mother were left at home. Qi’s mother occasionally went out, so most of the time it was just Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng at home.
Qi Cheng’s health was poor. Apart from recovering, he handled a small amount of work every day.
Taking this opportunity, Ji Yunhuan went to see Wen Nuan. All three of her stores had closed down, and she had been severely impacted.
Ji Yunhuan went to the restaurant they used to run, but it had long been changed into something else. When she visited Wen Nuan’s home, her relatives told her Wen Nuan had gone traveling.
Ji Yunhuan could only leave disappointed.
Ten days later, Qi Cheng’s health had improved. Ji Yunhuan and he went to C City together. As soon as they landed, Ji Yunhuan turned on her phone and received a call from her aunt.
It had been a long time since she last saw her aunt. The last time was last year when she was pregnant and came to C City.
Her aunt had said she treated her like a daughter. Ji Yunhuan still felt grateful for that.
On the phone, her aunt was enthusiastic. "Yunhuan, I heard you came?"
"Yes, Auntie."
"I haven’t seen you in a long time," Auntie sighed.
Ji Yunhuan laughed, "Thank you, Auntie. I’ll bring Ruirui to see you."
"That’s good."
They didn’t rush to her grandpa’s house since it was too formal. Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng stayed at a hotel.
