Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 856: The Only Person He Fears Is Her

Chapter 856: Chapter 856: The Only Person He Fears Is Her
Ji Yunhuan moved his hand away, "Do you really want a daughter so much?"
"Of course I do!" Qi Cheng said earnestly, "Just think, if we had a daughter, wouldn’t it be great? Plus, she’d have two brothers to protect her."
"..."
Ji Yunhuan knew about Qi Cheng’s obsession with having a daughter. He really wanted one, in a kind of infatuated way.
For a man like this, Ji Yunhuan simply had no way to deal with him.
She suggested, "If you really want, we could adopt one."
Qi Cheng refused, "An adopted daughter wouldn’t look like you, would she? I just want a girl who resembles you."
Because he was too stubborn, Ji Yunhuan had to compromise, "Alright, we’ll discuss it later."
"I can hear a strong tone of perfunctory in your voice."
Ji Yunhuan hugged his arm, "Am I not? It’s just that Ruirui is still too young. Wouldn’t it be better to wait until he grows a bit?
"That works too." As long as Ji Yunhuan was willing, he didn’t mind waiting a couple more years.
Ji Yunhuan prepared dinner for Qi Cheng that night. Qi Cheng ate happily, even claiming there was nothing in this world that tasted better than Ji Yunhuan’s cooking.
Ji Yunhuan tasted it herself and found that she had added too much salt.
As he praised her, she stared at him for a moment before saying, "Don’t you think it’s a bit salty?"
"Is it? No, I don’t think so." He seemed entirely oblivious.
"You should eat less of this dish and try something else." Ji Yunhuan said, moving the dish away and asking the maid to take it away.
Qi Cheng looked at her and said, "Don’t you think it’s a bit wasteful to just throw it away?"
"I’m afraid it’ll make you feel uncomfortable later with ingesting too much salt."
Under the lights, Qi Cheng just smiled and said nothing.
Ji Yunhuan felt she might be overthinking things a bit because whenever Qi Cheng smiled, it seemed she couldn’t see any signs of pressure on him.
She couldn’t understand whether he cared about the Lan Tian issue or not.
After dinner, Qi Cheng returned to his room and made phone calls for over an hour, comforting everyone in his family, telling them not to worry about him.
He knew his family cared deeply for him and feared he would be bullied, but he was no longer the child he used to be.
Lying on the bed, he appeared troubled, "Alas, living under the spotlight has made me seem like a good-for-nothing child, even though I’ve earned so many assets."
No matter how much he had achieved, in his family’s eyes, they still saw him as a child.
Ji Yunhuan said, "Mom is just worried about you, afraid you’ll get bullied. Zhou Yixiu isn’t an average person, after all. He’s got too many tricks up his sleeve."
Qi Cheng gazed at Ji Yunhuan with affection, "I’ve never been afraid of him. To me, there’s only one person I’m afraid of."
"Who?" Ji Yunhuan looked curious.
Qi Cheng seemed to almost drown her with his gaze, "You! I’m most afraid of you saying you want to leave me, or that you don’t love me, or that there’s someone else in your heart. I’m afraid you’ll get sick, afraid you’ll be unhappy... When it comes to you, I fear everything. But as for others, I’ve never been afraid."
The night was so quiet, and his words were like the most beautiful music. Listening to them, Ji Yunhuan felt tears warm her eyes, "Qi Cheng. I won’t leave you, nor will there be anyone else in my heart. I’ve said it before, no matter what, I’ll always be by your side."
"I know! So, I’m already very happy now. I’ve got what I wanted most, why else would you need to worry about me?"
"Hmm." He always had a way of making people believe in him, and Ji Yunhuan chose to believe him. Lying beside him, she felt the night grow warmer.
She had already prepared for the worst, deciding that no matter what happened, she would stay with him, so with that mental preparation, she feared nothing.
Qi Cheng still had no plans to return to the country. He spent every day playing with the children, seemingly not concerned at all about work.
Ji Yunhuan knew that Assistant Gao consistently called to the situation.
She wasn’t the only one worried about Qi Cheng; Bai Liyan and Su Zi also came from there to check on him.
As soon as Bai Liyan entered, he asked, "What’s going on with Lan Tian?"
Qi Cheng looked at his anxious demeanor and replied nonchalantly, "If it’s not wanted, then it’s not wanted."
It was as if Lan Tian was just a trivial item, rather than a giant company with annual sales in the hundreds of billions.
Bai Liyan said with a headache, "Qi Cheng, if you encounter any problems, I’ll find a way to help you. Do you think I would refuse you if you asked?"
"Please sit." Qi Cheng asked the maid to serve coffee. He looked at Bai Liyan, saying, "I’m glad you came all the way here out of concern for me, but there’s really no need right now."
In Bai Liyan’s eyes, Qi Cheng seemed more self-destructive.
People thought he might have been hit hard by Zhou Yixiu.
Yet he acted as if nothing was wrong, making it hard for people to know where to start with him.
Bai Liyan saw how stubborn Qi Cheng was and gave up discussing this issue with him.
Ji Yunhuan came downstairs and was surprised to see Bai Liyan and Su Zi, "You both came over!"
Su Zi’s gaze landed on Ji Yunhuan, and she smiled, "We came because we were worried about Qi Cheng, to check on him... Ruirui."
Upon seeing Su Zi, Ruirui struggled a bit, and Ji Yunhuan put him down. He walked over to Su Zi by himself, "Auntie."
He greeted Su Zi warmly.
Ji Yunhuan couldn’t help but scorn the little thing.
Su Zi smiled and picked Ruirui up, "It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, yet you still remember me! You have a pretty good memory."
Ruirui smiled and then looked at Bai Liyan. Clearly, he remembered not only Su Zi but also Bai Liyan.
Bai Liyan looked at Ruirui and couldn’t help but smile, "Do you remember me?"
Although he remembered, since it had been a while, Ruirui became quite shy in front of Bai Liyan, hiding more in Su Zi’s arms.
Bai Liyan reached out and took Ruirui over, "Come over, let me take a look at you."
Su Zi and Bai Liyan’s presence enlivened the atmosphere quite a bit.
Aware of Bai Liyan’s dislike for her, Ji Yunhuan spoke less to him.
They didn’t stay long, and by night, Bai Liyan left.
Staying in one place made not only Ji Yunhuan uncomfortable but also Bai Liyan, so he preferred staying at the Su Family’s residence.
That night, Ji Yunhuan lay in bed, looking at Qi Cheng. "Did Bai Liyan come all the way here just to check on you?"
"Yes." No matter what, the relationship between Bai Liyan and Qi Cheng could not be changed.
Ji Yunhuan reached out, gently stroking his brow and eyes, "Qi Cheng."
"What’s wrong?" He looked at her.
Ji Yunhuan said guiltily, "In the past, your poor relationship with Bai Liyan was because of me. Thinking about it now, I feel like I was really a troublemaker. I almost ruined the great relationship you two had."
