Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 306: Bai Liyan’s Home_1
Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Bai Liyan’s Home_1
Qi Family would not let her take the child away.
Second Sister-in-law was a smart person, and she could tell that Ji Yunhuan had actually rejected her.
No matter what, she still hoped to hear Ji Yunhuan personally admit it. "Anyway, you can have many children in the future. This one doesn’t matter."
"Second Sister-in-law." Ji Yunhuan’s voice grew cold. "Go back! I said, we’ll talk about this later."
"Then think it over." Realizing that saying anything more was pointless, Second Sister-in-law stood up.
She had come to see Ji Yunhuan today, not really expecting her to agree. It was just to remind Ji Yunhuan to see clearly her future with Qi Cheng.
Since she had achieved her goal, she didn’t want to stay any longer.
After Second Sister-in-law left, Ji Yunhuan sat alone for a long time in silence.
Not until dinnertime approached, and many guests arrived at the restaurant, did she finally go handle her bills.
Sometimes, living was too hard. Even she didn’t know what she should do.
When she got home, Qi Cheng was still not there. There was a large bouquet of roses in the living room. Aunt Liu said, "Mr. Qi sent them over."
Ji Yunhuan glanced at them. "Leave them there."
Second Sister-in-law said: Qi Cheng couldn’t come over these days because of his grandfather.
As she climbed the stairs, she thought again of what Second Sister-in-law had said—he didn’t mention you in front of his grandfather because he knew there was no future between you and him.
Qi Family no longer has a place for you...
You can never go back...
No one at home will welcome you anymore...
Thinking of this, Ji Yunhuan smiled wryly.
Her relationship with Qi Cheng could only continue in this sneaky manner, like a patron and a lover.
Maybe one day, Qi Cheng would get married.
But what about her?
He cut off all her escape routes. She could only remain by his side like a lover forever. If she had any involvement with another man, he would stop her at all costs.
Time would gradually turn her from a lover into a mistress.
She could only live outside his world forever...
She was still young now, but when she got older, she didn’t know what she would have left.
Back in her room, Ji Yunhuan sat on the sofa and turned on her phone. There were no calls from Qi Cheng, so she called him. He didn’t answer.
She was stunned for a moment, put down her phone, and a sense of powerlessness rose within her.
Whenever she mustered the courage to get close to him, reality always placed obstacles in her way.
When she needed hope, he was always absent.
For instance, when Wen Nuan said those things to her, if he had comforted her and gave her hope, she might have become braver.
And now, if he had answered her call and let her hear his voice, she would have felt better.
But he was not there.
Ji Yunhuan went into the bathroom, ran a bath, and soaked herself in the tub until the water turned cold.
Qi Cheng did call twice, but she saw the calls and turned her phone off, lacking the courage to answer.
Ji Yunhuan lay in bed and fell asleep like that. The next day, she still went to work early.
In the afternoon, she had just finished settling the accounts for her employees when she received a call.
It was from Aunt Bai. "Yunhuan, do you remember me?"
She recognized the voice immediately. "Aunt Bai?"
"Yes, it’s me. Long time no see. I couldn’t get through before, and only just connected with you now." Aunt Bai’s voice still carried a warm tenderness.
Ji Yunhuan explained, "I was out the past few days, and just got back."
"I’m so sorry for causing you trouble at your store last time."
"It was nothing." Ji Yunhuan was surprised to find that she always had a lot of patience for Bai Liyan’s mother. "I’m glad your health has improved."
"It’s an old ailment, but I’m better now. As for Liyan, I heard he had some misunderstandings with you before, so I apologize on his behalf. I fainted because I hadn’t rested well those days. I’ve explained to him that it wasn’t your fault," Aunt Bai explained.
Ji Yunhuan said with a smile, "It’s nothing, just a small issue. You don’t need to worry about it."
"To thank you, I’d like to invite you to dinner. You won’t refuse, right?"
Aunt Bai was so gentle that Ji Yunhuan really didn’t know how to refuse, so she agreed.
"When do you finish work? I’ll send a driver to pick you up from your restaurant. You surely won’t find my house," Aunt Bai said, smiling.
"To your house?"
"Yes, I’ll cook personally so you can try my cooking." Aunt Bai’s enthusiasm could be felt even over the phone.
"Just tell me the address. I’ll come over myself." Faced with such kindness, she had no reason to refuse.
Besides, she had been quite bored these past two days, not knowing what to do.
But in the end, Aunt Bai sent a driver to pick her up.
Ji Yunhuan had just stepped out of the restaurant when a luxury car stopped in front of her. "Ms. Ji? I’m here to pick you up on behalf of Mrs. Bai."
"Mrs. Bai?" Ji Yunhuan asked.
The driver explained, "Ma’am said she called you to invite you for dinner. Maybe you want to confirm it."
Ji Yunhuan was actually worried that the driver might be lying.
She had a habit of being cautious.
Since the story matched, she went along with it.
"No need to confirm, I know."
This was Ji Yunhuan’s first visit to the Bai Family Residence. More precisely, it was Bai Liyan’s residence in City A. The house wasn’t as luxurious as Qi Cheng’s custom-built one, but it was located in a wealthy district, a luxurious villa. The car didn’t stop until it reached the yard, and before she got out, she saw Aunt Bai waiting on the steps.
Aunt Bai looked healthy, so her condition must have improved a lot.
Ji Yunhuan got out of the car. "Sorry to keep you waiting."
"No, it’s good that you’re here." Aunt Bai warmly took her hand and led her inside. "I was worried you wouldn’t find the way, so I sent a car to pick you up."
"Auntie, you’re too kind." Ji Yunhuan felt a bit embarrassed.
"There’s no need to be polite. You took care of me so well that day. I should thank you. Besides, who doesn’t know about you and Liyan’s relationship now?"
Mentioning this made Ji Yunhuan feel awkward. ƒгeewebnovёl_com
"I and Bai Liyan..."
She wanted to explain, but Aunt Bai cut in with a smile. "I know."
"Uh..."
"Liyan told me everything." Aunt Bai smiled. "Let’s go inside first."
Since Aunt Bai said that, Ji Yunhuan thought, she must know what’s going on between her and Bai Liyan.
Inside, Ji Yunhuan looked around.
Bai Liyan’s house was different from Qi Cheng’s. Qi Cheng’s house had a post-modern style, while Bai Liyan’s house suited his profession as a doctor more.
It had a feel that made you comfortable from the bottom of your heart.
Ji Yunhuan asked, "Auntie, are you home alone?"
