Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 513: I’ll Let My Brother Accompany You_1

When they returned to the Qi Family, the second brother got out of the car, and Lin Xiang followed.

The second brother glanced at Lin Xiang. She was quite disheveled, seemingly affected by Qi Cheng. The second brother didn’t really want to bother with Lin Xiang, but it was Grandpa’s order. Moreover, if something really happened to Lin Xiang, it would be difficult to explain to the Lin Family.

He took Lin Xiang upstairs.

Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng had already eaten dinner and were back in their room.

Ji Yunhuan looked at Yangyang, who sat silently beside her. Ever since Qi Cheng had thrown him into the water, he had been quiet, not crying anymore. He seemed to be afraid of being thrown again. After all, for a small child, the feeling of choking on water was terrifying.

No matter what Ji Yunhuan said, he chose to remain silent. It was as if she was talking to herself.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Qi Cheng got up to open it and saw the second brother standing at the door, together with Lin Xiang. She still looked disheveled despite changing her clothes.

Qi Cheng directly ignored Lin Xiang and asked, "Second Brother, why are you here?"

The second brother gestured to Lin Xiang with his eyes and then stepped aside. Lin Xiang looked at Qi Cheng and asked, "Was it you who had me tied up?"

"..."

Lin Xiang bit her lip, seeing his silent acknowledgment. Tears welled up in her eyes. "Why did you do this to me? Even if I did something wrong, you didn’t have to send me to a place like that. Qi Cheng, I am a decent girl. You actually... you actually wanted to sell me!"

"Still have the strength to talk. Seems like the transaction didn’t go through." Qi Cheng looked at her indifferently. "You’re quite lucky."

"If it weren’t for Second Brother saving me, I would have..." She would have been abused by those scumbags. Lin Xiang looked at Qi Cheng in disbelief. "I like you so much. Don’t you have any feelings for me? Why are you so cruel to me?"

"Cruel?" Qi Cheng looked at Lin Xiang coldly. Despite her crying in front of him, he felt no guilt. "If you know what cruelty is, that’s good. This time was just a small warning. If it happens again, it won’t be this simple."

After speaking, Qi Cheng returned inside and closed the door. Lin Xiang’s hand had already clenched into a tight fist. This was the first time she felt so ridiculed; she actually... fell in love with such a heartless man!

He could be so gentle to a woman like Ji Yunhuan, yet didn’t spare her a glance.

She thought he was just blind, but as it turned out, he was harsher than she imagined.

At this thought, Lin Xiang’s tears kept falling. She stood at Qi Cheng’s room door, trembling. The second brother said, "Lin Xiang, should I have someone take you back? Go back and rest. Don’t think too much."

Lin Xiang remained still, letting her tears drip onto the floor. The second brother patted her shoulder like a big brother. "Be good, listen."

If she kept crying here, he wouldn’t get any sleep tonight.

Qi Cheng was indeed heartless.

But the second brother also understood: Qi Cheng wasn’t exactly wrong. He just chose Ji Yunhuan between Lin Xiang and Ji Yunhuan, which was certainly cruel to Lin Xiang.

The second brother dragged Lin Xiang downstairs and put her in the car, arranging for someone to take her back.

-

Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng, who had just finished talking to them, and curiously asked, "What did you do to Lin Xiang?"

"Nothing!" Qi Cheng didn’t take it to heart at all. To him, it was just a small warning to Lin Xiang.

Ji Yunhuan looked at Qi Cheng, then sat down in front of him. "Nothing, and she came to you crying at night?"

Lin Xiang had done such things today. Avoiding Qi Cheng would be too late. How could she still come to Qi Cheng to cause trouble?

Qi Cheng was focused on Ruirui, utterly doting on him. He casually said, "I had her sold to a nightclub. It seems Second Brother saved her."

"..." Ji Yunhuan stared at Qi Cheng in shock for a moment. "And you still say it’s nothing?"

He had her sold to a nightclub. He could still calmly say it’s nothing.

Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but admire this man.

Don’t be fooled by his gentle appearance; when it came to dealing with people, he was ruthless and final.

"It was really nothing. If I really wanted to sell her, do you think she would still have the chance to escape? This time, it was just to show her the severity."

Qi Cheng glanced at Ji Yunhuan. Thinking about how she had been bullied today, he wished he could strip Lin Xiang’s skin off. He asked, "Do you think I treated her too gently? I did want to deal with her, but Grandpa and Lin Xiang’s grandfather have a good relationship. Lin Xiang’s grandfather is Grandpa’s lifesaver. If I went too far, Grandpa would definitely get angry."

Just like that, Lin Xiang should understand the consequences if she continued.

Ji Yunhuan said, "No, not at all!"

She never had a good impression of Lin Xiang. Even without today’s incident, she disliked Lin Xiang. Today, she was most disappointed in the second sister-in-law. She knew the second sister-in-law was having a hard time. It was said that the second brother was locked out by the second sister-in-law for the entire afternoon.

Thinking of the second sister-in-law, Ji Yunhuan looked at Yangyang sitting nearby. Ji Yunhuan had already changed Yangyang into pajamas. He was now sitting on the bed, counting his fingers, lost in his thoughts. Ji Yunhuan realized that most of the time, she couldn’t enter her son’s world.

She reached out and took Ruirui from Qi Cheng’s arms. "Alright, let’s go to bed."

Every night before sleeping, she had to coax Ruirui to sleep first.

Ji Yunhuan carried Ruirui onto the bed. Qi Cheng also lay down. This bed was big enough to accommodate the four of them. Although many unpleasant things happened today, Ji Yunhuan felt that this home was incredibly complete.

Even though Yangyang didn’t like her, she believed that with time, she could melt her son’s heart.

As soon as Yangyang saw Qi Cheng get on the bed, he couldn’t help but glance at him. He was now in a state of both hate and fear towards Qi Cheng.

Ji Yunhuan was troubled seeing this. It was one thing for her to be unlikable. Now Qi Cheng wasn’t liked either. Ji Yunhuan said to Yangyang, "Yangyang, if you’re tired, go to sleep, okay?"

Yangyang looked at Ji Yunhuan, his hands clasped together. He had never felt time pass so slowly before. A strange woman suddenly claimed to be his mother and forcibly kept him by her side.

Ji Yunhuan put Ruirui down. "Come on, if you don’t want me to stay with you, how about your brother stays with you?"

Yangyang glanced at Ruirui, then turned his gaze away, still playing with his fingers.

Ji Yunhuan felt time passing unusually slow. She quickly coaxed Ruirui to sleep and put him in the crib. Lying back on the bed, Qi Cheng turned off the light, leaving only the bedside lamp. Yangyang remained seated. Ji Yunhuan reached out and pulled him down to lie beside her.
