Chapter 946: Chapter 946: The Deeper the Love, the Greater the Fear
"You..." He said to take good care of her, which obviously carried a hint of threat.
Even someone as dense as Lin Zhenyu could hear it.
Qi Cheng didn’t say much more to Lin Zhenyu; instead, he made a simple gesture, and soon a servant came up, "Sir."
"Take Madam Zhou to rest and take good care of her."
He had already made up his mind that he wouldn’t let Lin Zhenyu leave from here.
Lin Zhenyu said, "Qi Cheng, you can’t do this. If Grandpa knew you did this, don’t you think he’d be very disappointed?"
"Oh, I think if Grandpa knew I let Zhou Yixiu become like this, he would be even angrier." Qi Cheng finished speaking and stood up, and the servant quickly took Lin Zhenyu to her room.
The things in the room were quite complete, after all, considering that Lin Zhenyu was pregnant, Qi Cheng hadn’t neglected her in that regard.
But for Lin Zhenyu, she couldn’t be happy at all.
Because no matter how nice this place was, at most, it was just a more glamorous prison.
She had previously advised Zhou Yixiu not to provoke Qi Cheng any further, he didn’t listen, and now it seems karma has come!
It had only been a while since they last saw each other, and now Qi Cheng made Lin Zhenyu feel he was so difficult to provoke.
Zhou Yixiu only returned home the next morning; he’d spent the entire night on guard against Qi Cheng taking Cheng Yanxi, but Qi Cheng didn’t show up at all.
After being out all night, the first thing he did when he got home was to check on the woman who would bear him a son, "Has Madam gotten up?"
When Lin Zhenyu was mentioned, the servant’s face turned unpleasant.
Zhou Yixiu’s gaze fell on the servant, "What, cat got your tongue? Can’t even speak?"
"Last night, Madam went out to find Third Miss and hasn’t come back yet."
"Third Miss?" Zhou Yixiu frowned.
The servant said, "Miss Lin Xiang disappeared for a while, and Madam had been looking for her. Last night, she heard news about her and went out."
Even though the two sisters had fought, Lin Zhenyu was still quite concerned about this younger sister.
"So she hasn’t come back all night?" Hearing that Lin Zhenyu went out, Zhou Yixiu was very uneasy, "Call the Lin Family and ask if she’s back."
The servant quickly went to make the call and soon returned to tell Zhou Yixiu, "The Lin Family said Madam never went over last night, but Third Miss has already been found."
"..." Zhou Yixiu sat down on the sofa, quickly asked around, and soon realized something was off.
As expected, after Lin Zhenyu went out last night, there was no further news of her.
Qi Cheng had even silenced those who went out with Lin Zhenyu; if Zhou Yixiu hadn’t asked, no one would have thought of Lin Zhenyu’s disappearance.
At this moment, Qi Cheng was playing basketball with Bai Liyan at the court.
They discussed some issues about Qi Cheng’s company and his surgery.
The person performing the surgery was someone Bai Liyan had helped find.
He looked at Qi Cheng, "You haven’t told Yunhuan about this, have you?"
Bai Liyan knew that Ji Yunhuan recently had no idea that Qi Cheng had regained his memory.
Naturally, she also didn’t know that Qi Cheng was planning to undergo brain surgery.
"No." Qi Cheng stood on the side, not moving, only talking with Bai Liyan.
Bai Liyan shot the basketball into the hoop, turned his head to look at Qi Cheng, "Do you know how sad Yunhuan gets because of this? Do you know how she got through when you weren’t around? She worried about you every day until she couldn’t sleep, and Zhou Yixiu often threatened her. She was always worried about you and never had a peaceful day."
Zhou Yixiu consistently described Qi Cheng’s condition as poor, leading Ji Yunhuan to always think Qi Cheng was in life-threatening danger. He forced Ji Yunhuan to compromise, forcing her to stay by his side, just to make it more painful for Qi Cheng when he got better.
Sometimes, when she thought of Qi Cheng in the middle of the night, she would worry herself half to death, and sometimes, she really wanted to compromise for Qi Cheng and agree to Zhou Yixiu’s perverse demands, after all, she just wanted Qi Cheng to come back.
Who could blame her for loving this man to the point of madness?
Sometimes Bai Liyan would send Gu You or Su Zi to keep her company and calm her down when he saw she couldn’t hold on anymore.
After Qi Cheng returned, Cheng Yanxi was with him again.
Now that Qi Cheng’s memory had finally returned, and everyone knew, only Ji Yunhuan was still kept in the dark.
"..." Hearing Bai Liyan talk about Ji Yunhuan this way, Qi Cheng didn’t respond.
His chest felt heavy and uncomfortable, making the woman he loved sad was undoubtedly the most incompetent thing for a man.
Bai Liyan said, "You know Zhou Yixiu hasn’t stopped targeting her, always using your condition to threaten Yunhuan into going to him. Although Yunhuan really dislikes Zhou Yixiu, for your sake, she sometimes wants to compromise. If it weren’t for me, even if you came back today, there wouldn’t be a woman waiting here for you, but everything you’ve done recently is beyond my understanding."
"I know." The mention of Zhou Yixiu sparked a deep-seated hatred in Qi Cheng, "Do you think I don’t care about her? Do you think I don’t love her? But the deeper I love, the more scared I am... scared that I can’t return to her side in good health. She’s living a good life now, with two children with her, and I don’t want her coming back to me and bearing such a great burden for me."
Bai Liyan glanced at Qi Cheng and noticed a suppressed pain in his eyes.
If it weren’t for his pride as a man that kept him from crying, he might indeed have cried harshly for Ji Yunhuan.
Because he felt he owed Ji Yunhuan so much, too much.
In the past, he did things that let her down due to his willfulness, causing her to lose her most important family.
Later, he dragged her into his world, making her suffer so much hardship and grievance.
Maybe in everyone else’s eyes, he spoiled this woman, and others thought Ji Yunhuan was very happy, given how much Qi Cheng loved her. But in Qi Cheng’s eyes, he only saw his many debts to her.
He had put her through so much hardship.
Maybe they shouldn’t have been together from the start.
If she initially chose Bai Liyan, perhaps she wouldn’t be living so hard and conflicted.
Back then, he had willfully tied her to his side, taking away her right to choose.
Now, he couldn’t even guarantee his health, so where would he find the courage to return to her side?
If he softened his heart here, and if he died on the operating table like Chen Chen and couldn’t return, how sad would she be?
In his view, the deep love between him and Ji Yunhuan had already become a punishment for Yunhuan. Maybe her hating him was the only redemption.
