Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 682 He Has Something on His Mind_1

"This, I’ll ask him, but he’s been very busy lately; he probably doesn’t have time."

"Will he also be busy during the Spring Festival?" Ji Yunhuan asked curiously.

She always felt that something had happened to Qi Cheng. Even though they agreed it was over between them, she couldn’t help but worry about him.

She feared Qi Cheng had encountered some problem.

Although she could not solve it for him, she didn’t want to be kept in the dark.

Assistant Gao pondered for a moment.

Soon, he heard Ji Yunhuan’s laughter over the phone.

"What’s so funny, Ms. Ji?" The laughter made Assistant Gao inexplicably uneasy, as if Ji Yunhuan had seen right through him.

Ji Yunhuan stopped laughing and said, "Is it that difficult for you to tell me the truth?"

"Sorry, Ms. Ji, I have other matters to attend to. I’ll hang up first." Fearing that he would spill everything if they continued talking, Assistant Gao quickly changed the topic. Before Ji Yunhuan could stop him, he had already hung up.

Ji Yunhuan stared at her phone, speechless for a moment.

She originally thought she wouldn’t see Qi Cheng for a few days. But when she returned home that evening, she was surprised to see him standing in the yard, bathed in the light coming from the house.

As Ji Yunhuan entered the yard, the door creaked loudly. Qi Cheng turned around and saw her, a subtle light flickering in his dark eyes. It was winter, and she was dressed thickly but didn’t look bulky; she was still as beautiful and ethereal as ever.

Ji Yunhuan walked up to him and looked at his quiet face. It had been so long since she last saw him; his sudden appearance here felt almost unfamiliar.

"Aren’t you busy? Won’t coming here now disrupt your schedule?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her words.

Qi Cheng explained, "I came to see the child."

"It’s cold outside; come in!" Ji Yunhuan said.

"I have seen him already. I was about to leave," Qi Cheng replied.

"..." Ji Yunhuan, who was planning to go inside, stopped in her tracks. She looked at Qi Cheng and then stepped back. "What have you been doing these days? You haven’t been here once. Now you’re in such a hurry to leave?"

Did he see her as some kind of wild beast? Was he that afraid of facing her?

"Just a bit busy." Qi Cheng avoided her gaze.

Ji Yunhuan felt a twinge of pain in her heart.

Perhaps she was too sensitive, but she always felt that Qi Cheng was deliberately avoiding her.

"Qi Cheng," Ji Yunhuan asked, "do you have a new girlfriend?"

Her question took Qi Cheng aback. He glanced at her before shifting his gaze away and started to walk out.

Ji Yunhuan blocked him, "You’re being very confusing. If I did something wrong, you could tell me."

This sudden coldness really got to her.

Qi Cheng said, "I have other matters to attend to. Please move."

"I want an answer. Do you have a new girlfriend, and that’s why you decided your previous words no longer count?" Although they hadn’t fully reconciled, they were halfway there, right?

His actions left her utterly perplexed.

Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan, a flash of pain crossing his eyes. He walked around her, but she blocked him again. After several attempts, Qi Cheng lost his temper, "I told you to stay away from me."

"If that’s the case, why did you come to my house?"

"I told you I was just here to see the child."

"Just to see the child?" Before, every time he came to see the child, it was just an excuse to see her.

Now, it seemed he had really come just to see the child.

Qi Cheng frowned at Ji Yunhuan’s words but still nodded, "Yes."

"All right then!" Ji Yunhuan let him go reluctantly. No matter what he thought, she wouldn’t beg a man to pay attention to her.

Even though she disliked his attitude toward her, she could only endure it.

Qi Cheng quickly left. His car was parked at the entrance. He opened the car door and got inside.

Ji Yunhuan listened to the sound of the car leaving the entrance. She followed it out just in time to see the car disappear into the night.

Her chest hurt a bit.

She couldn’t help but recall what Bai Liyan had told her a few days ago: returning to Qi Cheng’s side would only lead to heartbreak.

It hadn’t been long, but Bai Liyan’s words were already prophetic!

Was it that forbidden loves always ended badly?

Perhaps because Bai Liyan was on her mind, Ji Yunhuan saw him early the next morning.

Ruirui, with a pacifier in his mouth, walked up to Bai Liyan, welcoming him eagerly. Yangyang held Ruirui’s hand, preventing him from getting too close to Bai Liyan. In Yangyang’s eyes, Bai Liyan was a bit of an enemy.

It had been too long since Ji Yunhuan last saw Bai Liyan. With his sudden appearance, she surprisingly felt much more composed.

"How have you been lately?" Bai Liyan asked curiously.

Ji Yunhuan nodded, "Pretty good. The company is doing well."

"And Qi Cheng? How’s it going with him?" His eyes were full of concern.

Ji Yunhuan was taken aback by the question.

She looked at Bai Liyan and bit her lip, unsure of how to explain the situation with Qi Cheng. She didn’t want Bai Liyan to know about Qi Cheng’s recent attitude toward her.

But Bai Liyan seemed to understand something, "Is he treating you poorly?"

"Why do you know this? Does it have something to do with you?" Bai Liyan always opposed her being with Qi Cheng, so she couldn’t rule out the possibility of him

intervening.

Bai Liyan stared into her eyes, obviously denying it, "Do you think I could influence Qi Cheng?"

"..." Ji Yunhuan looked at Bai Liyan. "Has something happened to Qi Cheng?"

Bai Liyan was always well-informed about the Qi Family. Ji Yunhuan hoped to find out something from him.

"I don’t want to say." Bai Liyan replied: "Just understand this. You and Qi Cheng are impossible; let him go."

His words were so certain that Ji Yunhuan felt an indescribable pressure.

She remained silent for a long time.

Bai Liyan turned his attention to Ruirui, smiling gently, "Ruirui has grown a bit recently."

Ruirui looked at Bai Liyan, grinning like a fool.

Bai Liyan reached out and picked him up. Yangyang watched from the side, feeling very jealous. He didn’t like Ruirui smiling at others; it made him very jealous.

Although only four years old, he was a total little brother protegee.

After eating, Bai Liyan stood up, "I have things to do at the hospital, so I’ll go now. Happy New Year."

He would go home for the New Year, so he couldn’t stay with Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan nodded, "You too."

Bai Liyan gave her a smile and left.

Because of Bai Liyan’s visit, Ji Yunhuan became even more convinced that something was up with Qi Cheng.

In the afternoon, Qi’s mother invited Ji Yunhuan to go shopping. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ji Yunhuan inquired about Qi Cheng’s situation. Hearing Ji Yunhuan’s question, Qi’s mother calmly said, "Qi Cheng is fine! He’s been doing well lately."

"Really?" Ji Yunhuan thought, does he really seem fine?

Or did he only behave differently with her?

Hearing Ji Yunhuan ask about Qi Cheng, Qi’s mother became concerned as well, "Why? Has he encountered any problems?"

"No, maybe I’m overthinking it. How is the second sister-in-law?" Unable to get any clues from Qi’s mother, Ji Yunhuan had to change the subject...

When they returned to the Qi Family after shopping, Qi Cheng happened to come in. Seeing Ji Yunhuan, his body stiffened. Without saying a word, he turned and went upstairs.
