Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 674: Not Interfering with Her Affairs_1

Chapter 674: Chapter 674: Not Interfering with Her Affairs_1

Qi Cheng walked in and approached Bai Liyan, discovering that he was already drunk and barely conscious.

As a doctor, Bai Liyan had never done anything to harm his own body before. But recently, he had been having a tough time every day.

The woman he loved did not love him back. There was probably nothing more helpless in this world than that.

Qi Cheng stood aside, looking at his former brother. He had never thought that one day he would face such a difficult choice.

Qi Cheng glanced at Bai Liyan. Despite always resenting what Bai Liyan and Zhou Yixiu had done, he was so angry at that time he could have killed Bai Liyan. But the more he was angry, the more it proved how much he cared about this brother.

The betrayal from his best brother was what truly disappointed him.

Now, seeing Bai Liyan in such a fallen state, his heart felt no better.

After staring at Bai Liyan for a while, Qi Cheng said to Assistant Gao, "Help him down."

"Yes." Assistant Gao walked up to Bai Liyan and, with some help, assisted him down the stairs, noting that Qi Cheng still had a soft heart.

Though he appeared cold, like how he would do irrational things for Su Molang, he valued any kind of love, familial ties, and friendship the same.

He was just someone who valued emotions deeply.

Bai Liyan was helped into Qi Cheng’s car, and Qi Cheng had the driver drive to Bai Liyan’s house. He personally saw to it that Bai Liyan was taken to his room.

The two children were already asleep, and Ji Yunhuan was sitting in the living room going through company documents as Qi Cheng walked in.

She was sitting on the sofa and turned her head to look at him as he entered. "I thought you left. Why did you come back?"

"Don’t want to see me?" His eyes held a quiet look.

Qi Cheng sat down on the sofa and gazed at her. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Ji Yunhuan checked the time. "It’s so late, and you’re still running around?"

It was already kind to let him eat here. He wasn’t planning to stay the night, was he?

Ji Yunhuan’s mind wandered, and she heard Qi Cheng say, "I went to see Bai Liyan. He’s fine, don’t worry."

Ji Yunhuan paused the hand flipping through the tablet. She looked at Qi Cheng, finding it somewhat unbelievable. "You went to see Bai Liyan?"

"What? Don’t believe me?" Her suspicious look made Qi Cheng displeased.

"You didn’t hit him, did you?"

Ji Yunhuan’s eyes filled with worry.

"... " Qi Cheng’s face turned cold. She quickly waved her hands, "Don’t be angry. I just found it hard to believe! You hated him so much, why did you go see him?"

Qi Cheng looked away and said, "Before Bai Liyan gives up, I won’t force you to be with me."

His answer took Ji Yunhuan by surprise. She found it hard to understand him. "Qi Cheng..."

Qi Cheng said, "He was good to me before. I won’t forget that."

When Bai Liyan liked Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng was with Ji Yunhuan, Bai Liyan must have been deeply hurt. Upon reflection, it was Qi Cheng who had neglected Bai Liyan’s feelings and caused things to end up this way.

Ji Yunhuan sat beside him, hearing calmness and restraint in Qi Cheng’s words.

She had always thought he was pampered by his family and fought for whatever he wanted. But hearing him say this surprised her.

Though Bai Liyan had done many things to hurt him, Qi Cheng could still see Bai Liyan as a brother and consider his feelings.

Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but smile at his words. "It’s good that you think that way."

She also didn’t want Bai Liyan and Qi Cheng to become enemies because of her.

She was just a woman, so ordinary, and never intended for their brotherhood to fall apart over her.

Qi Cheng’s gaze fell on Ji Yunhuan. He looked at her, wanting to hold her in his arms at that moment but restrained himself.

Ji Yunhuan, looking at the documents, could feel his gaze.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Actually, I have forgiven you."

Her words paused Qi Cheng.

Ji Yunhuan glanced at him, "But after thinking it over, even if I am no longer angry with you for what happened and I won’t return to your side."

"Why?" he frowned.

Ji Yunhuan smiled slightly, "Let’s consider us again after I have achieved my goals."

She no longer wanted to be his accessory or a mere complement by his side.

Qi Cheng looked at her and curiously asked, "What are your goals?"

"To make Xingkong number one in the industry." This was also her promise to Qi Mo.

Qi Cheng couldn’t help but laugh, a mocking laugh. "If you want to reject me, just say so. Don’t talk about impossible things."

"..." Ji Yunhuan deeply felt ridiculed by him. "Qi Cheng, don’t go too far!"

He an offhandedly looked at her, "Did I say something wrong?"

"You look down on me too much!" Was she that foolish and beneath his notice?

She knew that even if she made Xingkong number one, it would never compare to him!

But this was her own goal. She might not be strong enough to rival him, but she could at least have something.

Yet, he made it sound like her success was a thing of another lifetime.

Qi Cheng’s words kept Ji Yunhuan awake for days. Even though she boasted in front of him, she didn’t have much confidence in herself. Could she really achieve all of this? She doubted herself.

She told herself if she couldn’t even do this, then she should never return to Qi Cheng.

People only feel motivated under pressure. Besides, she didn’t believe she’d always be as unlucky as before.

Qi Cheng would sometimes visit Ji Yunhuan’s place, but most of the time, he was busy with his own life. But whenever he thought about her goals, he would still check in on her.

Assistant Gao said, "Ms. Ji’s company is doing well lately. But she may have some funding issues. Should we help her?"

"No need." Qi Cheng said, "Let her handle it herself. If she needs my help, she will come to me directly and wouldn’t talk about being together only after achieving her goals."

He thought about his past with Ji Yunhuan after their divorce when she had her own job and a company with Li Longtao. Back then, he didn’t understand how to respect her.

If he hadn’t rushed her to return to him, their lives might not have become so difficult later on.

People need to suffer losses to understand certain truths.

Now, he was slowly learning many things for her.
