Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 527: Qi Cheng with a Tough Exterior and a Soft Heart_1

Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Qi Cheng with a Tough Exterior and a Soft Heart_1

They stayed in the office for a while longer. Ji Yunhuan accompanied Qi Cheng to finish reviewing the remaining documents.

They left the company together and went to pick up Yangyang.

Instead of going straight home, they went directly to Jingyang Tower.

It was the first time the three of them had come here. Looking at the building before her, Ji Yunhuan was filled with infinite sentiments. She seemed to remember the time when she was pregnant with Yangyang, and Qi Cheng was excitedly planning a birth gift for Yangyang.

He spent a long time drawing the design for this building. However, when the building was completed, the three of them were not together.

Now that they had come here together, Ji Yunhuan felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.

Qi Cheng put Yangyang down on the ground and Ji Yunhuan reached out to hold Yangyang’s hand, but Yangyang looked at her and coldly avoided her.

[...]

Although Yangyang’s attitude towards her had improved a lot, he still wasn’t as dependent on Ji Yunhuan as he was on his second sister-in-law. He always insisted on doing everything by himself without asking for Ji Yunhuan’s help.

To Yangyang, Ji Yunhuan seemed more like a relative rather than his mother.

He avoided bothering her whenever he could.

Ji Yunhuan felt quite helpless as she looked at Yangyang like this.

The family of three entered Jingyang Tower, where Qi Cheng had brought them to eat.

Ji Yunhuan asked worriedly, "Are we really leaving Ruirui at home like this?"

"Don’t worry about him. He wouldn’t even know," Qi Cheng replied irresponsibly.

Ji Yunhuan rolled her eyes at him, "Qi Cheng, you’re really..."

So heartless! He didn’t act like a father at all!

But soon, Ji Yunhuan realized that Qi Cheng was joking. When they arrived at the restaurant, the servant who was responsible for looking after Ruirui had already brought him over. Seeing her son, Ji Yunhuan realized that Qi Cheng was a man with a tough outer shell but a soft heart.

The four of them had dinner at the restaurant. Ji Yunhuan stood up and handed Ruirui to Qi Cheng, "I’m going to the restroom."

On her way back, she bumped into Du Yan in the corridor. Seeing this man reminded Ji Yunhuan of the times he had sabotaged Qi Cheng’s work. That resentment she had kept bottled up was nearly suffocating her.

Even though she knew Qi Cheng would not let Du Yan get away with his arrogance, the thought of Du Yan’s audacity in harming Company B’s reputation made Ji Yunhuan feel an urge to punch someone.

Du Yan stopped when he saw Ji Yunhuan as well. He didn’t know about the relationship between Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan and always thought she was just Qi Cheng’s assistant. Having such a pretty assistant must have been Qi Cheng’s good fortune.

Seeing Du Yan approaching, the bodyguard beside Ji Yunhuan quickly blocked him.

"Let him come over," Ji Yunhuan said.

Seeing the bodyguard step aside, Du Yan walked up to her with a bright smile, "Hello."

Ji Yunhuan looked at him, "Mr. Du, is there something you need?"

"Nothing, really. I just wanted to chat because you’re so beautiful," Du Yan said, "I remember you were watching me intently during the competition that day. I don’t think I misinterpreted that, right?"

"Of course not," Ji Yunhuan replied.

She had been staring at him that day, wanting to understand why someone so decent-looking could do such despicable things.

Du Yan gave a graceful smile, "If you don’t mind, how about we have a cup of coffee together?"

His high self-esteem told him Ji Yunhuan must be attracted to him.

After all, no woman could resist a handsome man like him.

Ji Yunhuan listened to him and replied, "Sorry, I’m very busy! I assume Mr. Du came over not just for a cup of coffee, right?"

This man clearly had something to say.

Ji Yunhuan just wanted to see what he was going to say.

"What’s your last name?" Du Yan asked curiously.

"Me?" Ji Yunhuan frowned reluctantly, "Why should I tell you?"

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me," Du Yan smiled and said, "Beautiful women all have their secrets. From now on, I’ll just call you Beauty."

[...] Damn, hearing him call her that made Ji Yunhuan feel extremely uncomfortable. It was like a royal calling a beauty in ancient times, making her uneasy.

"You’re so beautiful. Your boss must favor you a lot, right?" Du Yan asked.

"Boss?" Ji Yunhuan thought for a moment and guessed he was referring to Qi Cheng. Did Du Yan see Qi Cheng as her boss? Well, she did look like an assistant now. She looked at Du Yan, "So what?"

"I just want you to pass on a message for me. You wouldn’t refuse, would you?"

Ji Yunhuan stared at him, feeling he was like a peacock; although he looked good, knowing his true character made it impossible for her to like him at all.

Du Yan thought Ji Yunhuan couldn’t look away because of his handsomeness, so he smiled and said, "You must know about the recent events, right?"

"Yes." He was committing career suicide, of course she knew.

"All I want is for Company B to clear my name and sign the contract with CIE. Just this small request. I think Mr. Qi has no reason not to agree," Du Yan said.

Ji Yunhuan listened to him and showed a contemptuous smile, "No need to convey the message. I can decide for him."

"Oh? You must be highly favored if you can decide things for your boss. It’s said outside that your boss has an eye on Chen Zhi, but you making decisions for him won’t anger him? You and he must have an unusual relationship."

Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but laugh, finding this man ridiculous.

"Your boss must have a vibrant life. It’s good to be rich," Du Yan said.

"No, you’ve got it wrong!" Ji Yunhuan thought she had enough patience to listen to this man for so long. She said, "Did you really think I’d agree to your requests?"

"What do you mean then?" Du Yan looked at her.

"In your dreams!" Ji Yunhuan retorted.

Du Yan’s face stiffened, realizing Ji Yunhuan didn’t intend to show him any respect. He sneered, "Are you sure you don’t need to ask your boss first? This concerns the future of Company B."

"You can affect Company B’s future?" Ji Yunhuan found it amusing, "Do you know why no one has dared to challenge Company B over the years? Because they’re smarter than you. You are too foolish!"

"OK!" Du Yan shrugged with a helpless expression, "Since you say so, don’t blame me. Let’s wait and see how Company B collapses. You think power is everything? Even the strongest background can’t withstand public opinion."

Though Du Yan wasn’t wrong, Ji Yunhuan wasn’t afraid. After all, it was Du Yan who should be scared. She just chuckled, "Then let’s see!"

"Goodbye, foolish woman! You’ll regret offending me later," Du Yan said with a smile.
