Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 658: Countless Hers Before My Eyes_1
"..."
"Stop worrying about how she is with Bai Liyan. If she really had feelings for him, she would hide it deeply. The fact that she doesn’t is proof that she never wanted to deceive you. Leaving her because of this is not worth it."
"..." Qi Cheng silently listened without speaking or arguing.
When Ji Yunhuan wasn’t around, his life was like plain water, nothing to be dissatisfied with, but also lacking in excitement.
On one side was a bland life without her, and on the other, a passionate world with her, though his emotions would follow her lead... He found himself preferring the latter.
Qi Shan knew he was wavering; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to Ji Yunhuan’s house and gotten kicked out.
Qi Shan said, "After being willful, try to bring her back. Don’t wait until it’s too late."
"I’ll try my best." He found it unusually difficult to bow to her this time.
As long as he had this thought, he would think of her attitude toward Bai Liyan.
In the following days, Qi Cheng was constantly in meetings and social engagements...
When Ji Yunhuan wasn’t around, he forced himself to stay busy, only then could he temporarily control the urge to find her.
Tonight’s social engagement ended quite late. He sat in the car, staring out the window. The days were getting colder. Perhaps because he’d had a few drinks, the figures outside all seemed to be Ji Yunhuan, countless Ji Yunhuans swaying before his eyes.
He remembered what he said to Qi Shan that night: Ji Yunhuan had him in her heart...
Don’t wait until it’s too late to make an effort.
Did he really want to wait until she married Bai Liyan to regret it?
Assistant Gao was driving when he suddenly heard Qi Cheng’s voice from the back, "Go to the Ji Family."
Assistant Gao paused and said to Qi Cheng, "But sir, you said that if you were drunk, I should stop you from looking for Ms. Ji."
Qi Cheng could control himself when sober. He feared that being drunk would make him embarrass himself in front of Ji Yunhuan again, as it had happened before. He had instructed Assistant Gao to intervene.
Qi Cheng’s cold voice hit like an ice block, "I’m very sober!"
"But you did drink quite a bit tonight." Assistant Gao felt conflicted. Should he defy Qi Cheng’s current wishes or his previous instructions?
He could feel that helping Qi Cheng with the divorce certificates last time had already displeased him.
He was afraid of making the wrong choice again!
Serving such a capricious boss every day made him feel sorry for himself.
"Go to the Ji Family!" Qi Cheng insisted firmly.
He felt that Assistant Gao was becoming more defiant.
Last time, he’d been so eager to handle the divorce certificates, and now he’s making excuses about going to find Ji Yunhuan. Did he really not want them to be together?
Assistant Gao tried to comfort Qi Cheng, "Sir, have you really thought this through? Don’t embarrass yourself in front of Ms. Ji, only to regret it later. Besides, I think if you go, Ms. Ji will throw you out. Let’s avoid this disgrace, shall we?"
Hearing Assistant Gao’s incessant chatter, Qi Cheng frowned, "Gao Nian, are you a spy sent by Bai Liyan? You can’t stand seeing me with Ji Yunhuan, can you?"
"..." Hearing Qi Cheng say this, Assistant Gao quickly wiped his cold sweat. Now Qi Cheng seemed terrifying, so he had no choice but to drive toward the Ji Family.
After all, it would be Qi Cheng’s embarrassment, not his. He shouldn’t worry about it.
Soon, the car stopped at the Ji Family’s door. Assistant Gao went ahead and knocked on the door, but there was no response.
"Sir, no one’s inside," said Assistant Gao.
Qi Cheng stepped out of the car, looked at the tightly closed door in front of him, and couldn’t help but kick it. She must have deliberately locked the door to avoid seeing him.
"Call her out," Qi Cheng instructed Assistant Gao.
"Call her out?" Assistant Gao looked baffled. How was he supposed to do that?
"Get her out here!" Qi Cheng said, glaring inside.
Every time he came, Ji Yunhuan was never welcoming. But if it were Bai Liyan, she would surely be very welcoming.
Assistant Gao said, "Sir, it would be more sincere if you did it yourself."
It was a joke. It was late at night, and if he shouted, wouldn’t he get yelled at? The police might even come!
Qi Cheng glanced at Assistant Gao and felt deeply, "It’s getting harder and harder to get you to obey."
"It’s not that I don’t want to do it; it’s just that I... I’m really afraid Ms. Ji will come out and hit me!"
"You don’t have to shout, but pack your things and leave. I don’t need such a useless person." His mood was already bad, and Assistant Gao made it worse.
Hearing Qi Cheng say this, Assistant Gao had no choice but to call out several times for Ms. Ji while knocking on the door. After all, this was a matter of livelihood.
But after calling for a long time, there was no response from inside.
Someone passing by recognized Qi Cheng and kindly said, "Yunhuan seems to have been on a business trip these past few days. She hasn’t been home, so you don’t need to shout. There’s no one home!"
Hearing this, Qi Cheng looked at the tightly closed door. Because they had knocked on the door, the alarm system inside kept blaring.
He finally decided to lower his pride to find her, but she wasn’t there. Was this fate?
On the way home, Qi Cheng looked downcast. Assistant Gao was also worried about him, "Sir, since Ms. Ji isn’t home, maybe it’s fate preventing you from embarrassing yourself in front of her!"
"..." Assistant Gao’s words stung Qi Cheng, "Do you also think it’s embarrassing for me to always go looking for her?"
"It is a bit," Assistant Gao spoke the truth, "I’ve never seen you accommodate a woman like this. Other women smile and cling to you when they see you."
Assistant Gao’s words plunged Qi Cheng into sorrow. He didn’t speak for a long time. Assistant Gao seemed to realize he had said something wrong.
He looked at Qi Cheng remorsefully, "Sir, I was just talking casually. Don’t take it to heart. After all, Ms. Ji has changed a lot for you too. Aren’t you two destined to be together? You see, Ms. Ji is so arrogant in front of others! She’s only different with you, isn’t she?"
Qi Cheng silently gazed out the window, "You don’t need to say more."
Nothing could change the fact that "he was very embarrassing."
Because of her, he no longer felt like himself.
He had never pursued a woman like this, wanting her to love him. Before, it was always women chasing him, begging for his affection. But with Ji Yunhuan, it was entirely the opposite.
