Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 855: The Company Is Acquired

Chapter 855: Chapter 855: The Company Is Acquired
Ji Yunhuan also felt that she was very, very bad, always making her son cry. Seeing him cry so miserably, she felt a deep sense of helplessness.
After soothing him for quite a while, she finally managed to calm the little guy down.
After returning to the castle, Qi Cheng spent every day with the two little ones. He seemed like a different person, previously sticking to Ji Yunhuan whenever he had time, but recently he preferred to focus his energy on the children—sometimes taking them horseback riding, sometimes playing ball or cycling with them.
Seeing the two kids come back every day so joyfully, Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but smile, deeply realizing that only between men do topics flow!
If Qi Cheng had paid attention to them earlier, Ruirui and Yangyang wouldn’t have been so attached to her.
However, seeing Qi Cheng so focused on the kids, Ji Yunhuan felt truly helpless.
She heard from Qi Cheng that Zhou Yixiu wanted to acquire Lan Tian. Naturally, Qi Cheng wouldn’t want to let Lan Tian go to him, so Zhou Yixiu was doing everything he could.
In this situation, Qi Cheng only had two choices: sell Lan Tian to Zhou Yixiu, or use all the money earned from his other companies to fill the gap in Lan Tian. But Lan Tian had become such a bottomless pit that it was hard not to drag other companies into it.
Moreover, after the recent setbacks, if Company B suffered another blow, Qi Cheng might not be able to keep either company.
Although he talked about these issues with Assistant Gao over the phone, in front of Ji Yunhuan, Qi Cheng seemed not to let these matters show at all.
Ji Yunhuan couldn’t figure out whether Qi Cheng was anxious or not.
She also dared not ask him because, after all, he was on vacation; she was afraid she might put pressure on Qi Cheng.
Half a month later, news spread in City A that Lan Tian had been acquired by Zhou Yixiu’s company.
Elder brother sat in the living room, frowning at the news, "What is Qi Cheng doing?"
No matter how bad Lan Tian was, Qi Cheng wouldn’t just sell the company to Zhou Yixiu like that!
Besides elder brother, several other family members were sitting in the living room, all of whom also didn’t understand Qi Cheng’s intentions upon hearing this.
However, far away in France, Qi Cheng seemed to be in high spirits, playing in the manor with the kids.
Ji Yunhuan had just received a call from Qi’s mother. She looked at Qi Cheng with a very complicated expression, feeling bursts of pain in her heart.
Zhou Yixiu was the one she had offended. Qi Cheng had sought revenge against Zhou Yixiu because of her. Now, with Qi Cheng’s company acquired by Zhou Yixiu, Ji Yunhuan felt extremely sad, as it was Qi Cheng’s hard work.
Although Lan Tian was only a part of Qi Cheng’s industry, Zhou Yixiu, having gained an advantage, might make further moves. Recalling what Zhou Yixiu had said before, Ji Yunhuan didn’t believe he would stop after acquiring Lan Tian.
Ji Yunhuan felt like a sinner at this moment. She really wanted to do something for Qi Cheng but didn’t know what she could do.
Qi Cheng, holding Ruirui and leading Yangyang, returned and saw Ji Yunhuan standing on the steps. He put Ruirui down, let him follow Yangyang, and walked over to Ji Yunhuan, "What are you thinking about?"
Ji Yunhuan wanted to hold back, but she couldn’t, "Mom just called."
"Oh? Really? She called you, not me," he said, sounding a bit jealous.
Ji Yunhuan looked at the man in front of her who still had the presence of mind to joke, "Did you sell Lan Tian to Zhou Yixiu?"
Qi Cheng nodded calmly, "So you all know now."
"The whole family knows now. Mom asked what you meant by this. Even if you encountered problems, you should have discussed with the family first. Zhou Yixiu is bullying you, and you’re just staying silent." Tears glistened in Ji Yunhuan’s eyes. During the competition between Qi Cheng and Zhou Yixiu, she often couldn’t sleep well and sometimes suffered from insomnia.
She was always worried about him.
But she had been enduring, never asking him until this moment when harsh reality was laid before her.
Qi Cheng took her hand gently, his voice soft, "How was Zhou Yixiu bullying me?"
"Lan Tian was such a big company, and now it’s gone. Isn’t that bullying?" Thinking of this, Ji Yunhuan felt extremely unwilling. She hit him a few times on his chest.
Qi Cheng fondly pulled her into his arms, "Enough, are you only satisfied if you beat me to death?"
"If I could really beat you to death, that would be good." Ji Yunhuan clutched his clothes, saying, "Are you really okay? Qi Cheng, I’m really worried about you. I know you’re under immense pressure, yet I watch you force smiles, and it deeply hurts my heart."
At this moment, she actually hoped to see Qi Cheng look upset because then she could openly comfort him.
Hearing Ji Yunhuan’s words, Qi Cheng hugged her, helplessly sighing, "What should I do with you?"
Ji Yunhuan listened to him, not speaking. They sat on the steps for a while before Qi Cheng held her hand, "Let’s go for a walk."
His palm was warm, and Ji Yunhuan passively followed him, while the servants took the two children inside.
Holding her hand, Qi Cheng led her through the flower fields, and when they reached a place with benches, they sat down together.
Qi Cheng placed her hand on his knee, holding it tightly, "You see, you said you were worried about me, now you’re the one making me worried."
"Am I?"
"Isn’t it?" He extended his long fingers, gently sliding them across her tear-filled eyes, "You’re almost crying."
"You won’t cry, so I’ll cry for you," Ji Yunhuan looked at him with grievance, "Don’t make fun of me."
Qi Cheng tugged her hand, trying to reassure her, "Don’t worry about me. Things aren’t as bad as they seem. If I really needed the family’s help, I would ask for it, but not now."
"But Lan Tian is really important, isn’t it?"
"If it weren’t important, it wouldn’t have the value of sacrifice." Qi Cheng told Ji Yunhuan, "Though I was born with so much, most of what I have today was earned by myself, you have to believe that. I know exactly what I’m doing. But because my opponent is Zhou Yixiu, some things have to be sacrificed to achieve my goals."
"You’re lying to me," Ji Yunhuan said, "I know you’re lying just to comfort me."
If things were really fine, he wouldn’t be hiding here all these days, spending leisure time with her in such a place.
Qi Cheng held her hand, sighed, "Alright, if you have to think that way, then I have to admit it."
...
The two sat on the bench, fingers tightly interlocked. After a long while, Qi Cheng said, "I want to eat your cooking tonight."
"I don’t want to cook."
"Honey, didn’t you want to do something for me? Now’s your chance to shine." He gently touched her head, "Actually, I would be even happier if you were willing to have a daughter with me."
