Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 308: The One with the Persistent High Fever (1)_1

Chapter 308: Chapter 308: The One with the Persistent High Fever (1)_1

Bai Liyan seemed to have no feelings for her at all.

Everything he did was just to atone for his sins.

Ji Yunhuan said, "You should still explain it to Auntie. You were helping me before. I won’t take it seriously."

"There’s nothing unclear. My mom has always been afraid I’m not interested in women. It’s rare to see me say I’m willing to marry a woman. So she was a bit overenthusiastic. Don’t take her words to heart. If you don’t take it seriously, nothing will happen." Bai Liyan looked very calm as he drove.

Ji Yunhuan looked at him and couldn’t help but laugh, "What if I did take it seriously? Would you really marry me? I’ve been married to Qi Cheng, divorced, and even have a child. You don’t mind?"

Bai Liyan looked at her, "I don’t mind that."

"But your family..."

"My dad doesn’t care what kind of woman I marry, and also... I’m not interested in you. Whether you’ve been married or not doesn’t matter to me," he looked at Ji Yunhuan, "so you don’t have to feel pressured. Even if one day I really did marry you, it wouldn’t be out of love."

His words made Ji Yunhuan laugh and cry, "Is this how you woo women? Marry me, but I won’t love you!"

"I’ve never chased after women, and besides..." The car stopped at the red light. He looked at her seriously, "I’m not pursuing you."

"Alright then. I won’t feel guilty asking for your help in the future," Ji Yunhuan said.

Soon, Bai Liyan had her at her doorstep.

Bai Liyan had been here before when Chen Chen was still around.

Ji Yunhuan unfastened her seatbelt and looked at him, "Want to come in for a cup of coffee?"

Bai Liyan didn’t refuse.

The two got out of the car.

Ji Yunhuan looked worriedly at Bai Liyan, "You wouldn’t act like last time in the hospital, would you?"

She was very concerned for him. For a while, Ji Yunhuan didn’t dare appear in places related to Chen Chen or look at things related to him.

Bai Liyan calmly walked into the yard.

Ji Yunhuan quickly followed.

Seeing him act so normal reassured her a bit.

As they were talking, the door opened, and Qi Cheng walked out.

He had just arrived and had been waiting for Ji Yunhuan, but was stunned to see Bai Liyan with her.

Ji Yunhuan also looked at Qi Cheng, "Why are you here?"

He hadn’t shown up for several days. She thought he wouldn’t come anymore!

Qi Cheng’s gaze coolly fell on Bai Liyan as he asked Ji Yunhuan, "When I’m not around, you hang out with him?"

His jealous tone took Ji Yunhuan by surprise.

Almost by instinct, she wanted to explain, but for some reason, she hesitated.

She had been wondering whether to be with Qi Cheng these past few days.

Whether it was her sister-in-law’s words or Wen Nuan’s advice, they all told her she shouldn’t keep entangling with him or hold onto unrealistic hopes.

Qi Cheng also knew it was impossible to be with her.

As he had said, even if he couldn’t let go, in his world, she could at most be a hidden lover.

But to pay her whole life for such a ridiculous relationship?

She said, "We just had a meal together. Don’t overthink."

"Ji Yunhuan!" Qi Cheng had missed her so much these few days. After sending his grandfather off, he rushed here.

Seeing her call yesterday, he thought she missed him too. But as soon as he got here, he saw this big joke. She had gotten close with his friend while he was away.

Ji Yunhuan looked calmly at Qi Cheng. Facing him, she wanted to retreat but didn’t know what mindset to adopt.

Qi Cheng walked towards her, "I’ve been gone for a few days, and you do this to piss me off?"

His hand reached for her. Although he was angry, he also reflected that maybe he had made her wait too long, or she was still mad about the child. That’s why she quickly distanced herself when he left. Previously on the island, it was only out of necessity...

He understood her constant urge to leave him. She would choose to leave whenever he wasn’t watching. It was his fault; he didn’t take care of her.

Even though he was furious, Qi Cheng still restrained himself, not wanting to scold her in front of Bai Liyan.

He reached out to pull Ji Yunhuan to his side. As his hand extended, Ji Yunhuan instinctively stepped back.

Qi Cheng’s hand froze midair. He looked at her in disbelief.

He remembered that even though she was reluctant to leave the airport that day, her attitude towards him wasn’t like this.

Ji Yunhuan looked down, avoiding his disappointed gaze. She said helplessly, "Qi Cheng, you know we are impossible."

"Impossible?" Qi Cheng chuckled, "Give me a reason."

"Reason?" She said helplessly, "You shouldn’t ask me for a reason. You should ask yourself. Do you think your family will accept me? Do you think we can still be together? I don’t want to be your lover forever or one day see you marry another woman while I’m still in the shadows."

She didn’t want to be a mistress or a lover anymore. Before, she had no choice, but now...

It seemed she had no reason to stay by his side.

She blocked her own way out of reality. It was her choice, so she had to endure it, even with tears.

Because it was her choice, even if she regretted it and felt sorry for him, she shouldn’t stay entangled in this unclear relationship.

"Who told you that?" Qi Cheng knew she didn’t think like this before, "On the island, you never said these things."

"Even if I said it, would it matter? You wouldn’t have let me come back. It was unavoidable. But now that we’re back, we should clarify things," she looked at him, "Your family won’t approve of us being together, right?"

"Bai Liyan told you this?" Qi Cheng couldn’t believe her sudden change of heart, and his gaze landed on Bai Liyan.

Ji Yunhuan stepped closer to Bai Liyan, blocking Qi Cheng’s angry look, "It has nothing to do with him. I’ve met your family. I know what they think. You are always good to me. Sometimes, I can’t bear to leave. But those moments are rare. Most of the time, reality tells me not to be with you."
