Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 502: In Love for Quite a Few Years_1
Chapter 502: Chapter 502: In Love for Quite a Few Years_1
At that time, Lin Xiang really envied them. She wished she could grow up quickly and find a man as good to her as the Second Brother was to the Second Sister-in-law.
So many years had passed, yet there had never been any scandals about the Second Brother. Compared to Qi Cheng and the Eldest Brother, he was much better.
When Lin Xiang saw them walk out the door, she was truly a bit envious.
Second Sister-in-law had someone who loved her so much. Ji Yunhuan had someone too. Why didn’t she have anyone?
Although there were also excellent men pursuing her, she couldn’t help but greedily wish for a man who not only she liked but who also cherished her.
Lin Xiang sighed and went to sleep. At the Qi Family house, she had her own room. After all, she had lived there for a long time before.
Qi Cheng took a shower. Ji Yunhuan was taking care of the child. She hadn’t spent much time with Ruirui all day and felt very reluctant.
She looked at her baby. Since he hadn’t breastfed all day and had only had formula, the little one was already impatient. Ji Yunhuan sat beside him, feeding Ruirui until he was full and satisfied.
Seeing her son smile foolishly at her, she couldn’t help but laugh. "Silly boy."
A servant knocked on the door, and Ji Yunhuan said, "Come in."
"Third Young Lady, Madam wants to see you."
Qi’s mother asking for her. Ji Yunhuan had a vague idea of what she might ask.
She nodded, "I know." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The servant left first.
Qi Cheng came out, and Ji Yunhuan said to him, "Mom wants to see me for a bit. I’m going."
Qi Cheng glanced at her, "Go ahead."
"She’s probably going to ask about today’s incident. Should I tell her about the Eldest Sister-in-law’s situation?" They were all family. There was no need to hide it. She didn’t mention it before only because it didn’t seem necessary in front of Lin Xiang.
"I don’t mind." Qi Cheng vigorously dried his hair with a towel. His thoughts weren’t much different from Ji Yunhuan’s.
Ji Yunhuan carried Ruirui out of the living room and went straight to Qi’s mother. She hadn’t slept yet and was sitting on the sofa waiting. Seeing Ji Yunhuan with Ruirui, she said, "Sit down."
Ji Yunhuan sat down. "Mom, calling me so late, is there something you need?"
Qi’s mother reached out and took Ruirui, saying, "I just wanted to ask about Qi Cheng. What happened today? He’s not someone who likes to fight. How did he end up putting someone in the hospital?"
"It was about the Eldest Sister-in-law. We had just come out of the movies when we saw someone harassing her. Qi Cheng got angry and had his men send the guy to the hospital." Ji Yunhuan knew if she didn’t explain, Qi’s mother might think it was trouble she had caused. Why else would she be so secretive?
"Was it that Fang?" Clearly, Qi’s mother knew about the Eldest Sister-in-law and Fang Zihuan.
"You know about this, Mom?"
Qi’s mother quickly furrowed her brow. "Who doesn’t know about your Eldest Sister-in-law and that man Fang? I’ve scolded your Second Sister-in-law twice because of this. If it weren’t for her bad idea in the first place, things wouldn’t have turned out this way. I had someone warn that Fang, but I didn’t expect he wouldn’t give up."
"..."
Ji Yunhuan quietly listened to Qi’s mother complain. She hadn’t known much about it before, but now she understood. It was just that Fang Zihuan liked the Eldest Sister-in-law very much and couldn’t help but pester her even though he knew she had a family.
It seemed that even the previous ’help’ was just an opportunity for him to get close to the Eldest Sister-in-law.
He had deceived the Second Sister-in-law and the Eldest Sister-in-law.
She had heard that he and the Eldest Sister-in-law were college mates and that he had had a crush on her for a long time.
It was hard to say what the Eldest Sister-in-law’s attitude was. In any case, she had always been entangled with Fang.
Qi’s mother’s thoughts were similar to Ji Yunhuan’s. "Your Eldest Sister-in-law probably feels that your Eldest Brother isn’t good to her. Now that there’s a man who treats her well, she’s tempted. Women are like that. To be honest, it’s your Eldest Brother’s fault too. If he hadn’t done those terrible things back then, he wouldn’t be in this situation today."
The relationship between the Eldest Brother and the Eldest Sister-in-law had improved before, but later, because of Fang Zihuan, it began to sour again.
The couple took turns causing trouble. As a spectator, Qi’s mother was extremely frustrated.
She sighed, "Adults can be selfish, but the children have to suffer. Leilei and Qi Mo are old enough to understand. With their parents like this, they must have knots in their hearts. I even heard your Eldest Sister-in-law went to talk to Grandpa about divorce. After she returned, I spoke to her, and since then she hasn’t come back here."
Unexpectedly becoming Qi’s mother’s confidant, Ji Yunhuan felt a lot of pressure. After listening to Qi’s mother for a while, she also offered a few words of comfort before leaving. Just then, she saw the Eldest Brother coming up from downstairs.
"Eldest Brother." Ji Yunhuan remembered how she had once scolded Qi Cheng for his sake regarding Ye Suya. Now she felt it was inappropriate. She couldn’t manage others’ affairs.
The Eldest Brother nodded to her and then went into his room, closing the door.
Seeing his indifferent manner, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but feel sympathetic.
Sometimes she thought that a person’s life was too long. It wasn’t easy for two people to stay together till the end.
Ji Yunhuan had heard that for a period after Leilei was born, the Eldest Sister-in-law and the Eldest Brother’s relationship was good. That showed they had been in love for many years, but now...
You had your old flame, and I had my new love.
As a married couple, having gone through so many ups and downs, she suddenly worried if she and Qi Cheng could make it that far.
Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but curl her lips in a self-mocking gesture, and she returned to their bedroom.
The books Ji Yunhuan bought today had already been brought in and placed on the table by the servant. When she didn’t return, Qi Cheng had been reading those books.
Ji Yunhuan walked in, put the sleepy-eyed Ruirui into the crib, and the little guy cried as soon as she moved away. So she had to stay beside him, shaking the crib to soothe him.
Watching Ruirui’s eyes slowly close, Ji Yunhuan glanced at Qi Cheng, "What are you reading?"
"The servant said these books are yours. What are you doing with them?"
They were all for research. Ji Yunhuan wanted to see if she could help Bai Liyan solve his current issue. Hearing Qi Cheng’s question, she didn’t hide it, just said, "I met Bai Liyan today. He seems still troubled about what happened with Chenchen, so I want to see if there is a way to help him overcome his trauma and return to how he was."
"..."
Ji Yunhuan knew he would be jealous, so she quickly explained, "Qi Cheng, Bai Liyan helped us a lot. If he could return to the operating room, it would also be good for Wenwen. I owe them both so much that I want to do something to repay them. Besides, just because I’m reading these books doesn’t mean I can help. Please don’t be jealous. It’s not worth it."
Too afraid he would be jealous, Ji Yunhuan had long rehearsed what to say to persuade him.
She chose honesty because she didn’t want to hide anything from him, lest he misunderstand even more.
