Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 510: Raising for So Many Years_1

"Then take Yangyang down. From now on, I will take care of my own child." This was all because Shi Xuan was being excessively harsh to Ji Yunhuan in her attempt to take Yangyang. He couldn’t allow Yangyang to stay with her any longer.

Shi Xuan must understand whose child Yangyang really was!

Otherwise, she would only keep pushing boundaries.

Qi Cheng’s older brother listened to his words and found himself in a difficult position. He knew how much Shi Xuan cared for Yangyang; asking her to give him up now was sure to be met with resistance.

He couldn’t just let Qi Cheng go upstairs and snatch the boy.

The older brother looked at Qi Cheng. "Qi Cheng, for the sake of our brotherhood, can’t you let Shi Xuan keep Yangyang?"

"No."

"I’m asking you because I have no other choice. Shi Xuan really loves Yangyang. She won’t mistreat him. As long as she looks after him, within this family, Yangyang is everyone’s child. Why must we draw such clear lines? Things were fine before, weren’t they?" The older brother had never agreed with the idea of Qi Cheng fighting Shi Xuan for custody over Yangyang. He knew the boy was Ji Yunhuan’s child and could never pretend otherwise, but...

Considering Shi Xuan’s attitude—she was even willing to divorce over the matter—he couldn’t just let that happen.

Qi Cheng said, "If you had said that to me before, I might have considered it. But now, it’s not possible! Shi Xuan brought all this on herself."

Previously, Qi Cheng had suggested that Shi Xuan could care for the child but only if she acknowledged Ji Yunhuan as the mother. It was Shi Xuan herself who was unwilling.

He had already made concessions, but Shi Xuan showed no respect and kept causing trouble for Ji Yunhuan.

The older brother remained silent.

Qi Cheng knew how difficult this was for him and stood up. "If you find it hard, I can go get Yangyang myself."

"No need." Seeing Qi Cheng really about to go upstairs, the older brother knew it would only lead to more conflict. He stood up. "I’ll go bring Yangyang down."

Qi Cheng had made his stance clear. If he insisted on keeping Yangyang, it would only be asking for trouble.

They had once been the best of brothers. The bonds between them had been so strong, and now it had come to this. The older brother felt helpless.

He went upstairs, and Shi Xuan looked at him without saying a word. The older brother said, "Qi Cheng is here to take Yangyang."

Shi Xuan’s body stiffened, and she clenched her fists. "I told you, Yangyang is mine. I won’t let him take the boy."

"Shi Xuan," the older brother said with a helpless sigh. "At this point, you should just let it go. Yangyang should return to his biological parents. Even if you don’t like it, what can you do? He has to go to school. His household registration is still with Qi Cheng. Are you planning to selfishly keep him here?"

"Even if it’s selfish, I will keep him here. As long as he stays, there will always be a chance to get his registration transferred." From the moment Yangyang had run back into her arms that morning, Shi Xuan had resolved never to let go of her precious boy again.

Yangyang clung to Shi Xuan’s arm, looking at the older brother.

The older brother said, "Do you think Qi Cheng will let it go? He is determined to take Yangyang today. Even if you want to keep him, you can’t."

"Do you really think Qi Cheng is that determined, or is it that you don’t actually want to keep Yangyang here? Qi Cheng is your younger brother. No matter what he does, how far can he go? Are you really that afraid of him?" Shi Xuan looked at her husband with disdain.

"..." The older brother wasn’t afraid of Qi Cheng, but he didn’t want their family to fall apart over Yangyang. It just wasn’t worth it. He stepped forward, trying to take Yangyang, but Shi Xuan held him tightly. "If you take Yangyang, take me first. If you take my child away, I will never speak to you again."

"Shi Xuan." Faced with such stubbornness, the older brother could only sigh helplessly. He sat down and gently held her hand. "Won’t you listen to me? We’ll have other children in the future. Yangyang doesn’t belong to you. No matter how hard you try, it’s useless."

"How does he not belong to me? I’ve raised him for so many years. How does he not belong to me? And besides, he doesn’t even want to go back, right?" Yangyang looked at Shi Xuan with big eyes. Seeing this, Shi Xuan’s tears began to fall. "Even Qi Cheng can’t separate us. I will go to Grandfather and ask him to make Yangyang my child."

"Grandfather won’t agree." The older brother said. "You know how much Grandfather favors Qi Cheng. He won’t side with us."

"You just came to speak for Qi Cheng, didn’t you?" Shi Xuan looked at the older brother with contempt. "You can’t wait to get rid of me and Yangyang, can you?"

"Can’t you be reasonable?"

"You’re the unreasonable one! You want to take my child, and now you blame me for being irrational?" Shi Xuan was deeply disappointed in him.

She thought her husband would stand by her.

The older brother, somewhat frustrated, asked, "When did you become so unreasonable?"

"What, you despise me now?" She responded with a dismissive laugh.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and Qi Cheng appeared at the doorway.

Seeing Qi Cheng, Shi Xuan instinctively held Yangyang tighter and glared at him. "What are you here for?"

"To pick up my child, of course." Qi Cheng strode in. Although the older brother had asked him to wait, Qi Cheng had no patience and wanted to take Yangyang immediately.

Shi Xuan sneered, "Are you kidding me? You look for your child here?"

Qi Cheng gave a cold glance at Yangyang in Shi Xuan’s arms. "Why pretend now?"

"Qi Cheng, if you still see me as your sister-in-law, leave right now."

Qi Cheng stood in front of the older brother and Shi Xuan. "I do want to see you as my sister-in-law, but you keep making things difficult. This isn’t my fault. Yangyang, come here!"

Qi Cheng commanded.

Yangyang clung to Shi Xuan. "I don’t want to."

"I told you to come here." Qi Cheng said sternly. "Don’t make me angry. You’re old enough to understand what I mean."

Shi Xuan held Yangyang tightly and said to Qi Cheng, "Qi Cheng, Yangyang is my child. I’ve raised him for years. You want to take him just like that? Isn’t that too much!"

"There’s no need to argue with you about that." Qi Cheng looked at the older brother. "Brother, I’m showing respect by not using force. But don’t let her be unreasonable."

"Qi Cheng, you’re being excessive." The older brother also expressed his disappointment.

Qi Cheng’s attitude left them no room to maneuver.

"Even if you think that, I will still take Yangyang."

Qi Cheng stepped forward and grabbed Yangyang’s small arm. Shi Xuan instinctively tried to push him away, but the older brother stopped her. "Shi Xuan."

Qi Cheng took the opportunity to pull Yangyang away. The three-year-old child felt as light as a feather in his arms.

Yangyang realized he was being taken by Qi Cheng again, just like before, separating him from Shi Xuan. He started to struggle. "I don’t want to! I want Mommy... Mommy..."
