CHAPTER 878: CHAPTER 878: QI CHENG’S BUSINESS TRIP

But she couldn’t escape, she couldn’t even contact the outside world. She begged Yun Qinghang countless times, but he wouldn’t let her go.

In the past, whenever she said something, he would believe her. But precisely because of this, after being deceived by her numerous times, he now hates her to death. No matter what she says, he won’t believe a word of it anymore.

-

In the morning, Ji Yunhuan was helping Qi Cheng tidy his suit. Qi Cheng was going out today to handle some work matters.

"Will you be back tonight?" He had to go on a business trip, and it was with Zhou Jinlian.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to be apart from him even for a day.

Qi Cheng said, "I’ll try my best."

"That Xia Duo won’t be going, right!" Whenever he got in touch with Zhou Jinlian, that Xia Duo would appear, so Ji Yunhuan had no good feelings towards Zhou Jinlian at all.

"No, she won’t." Qi Cheng said, "Even if she does, I won’t be nice to her. Trust me, deep down, there’s only my wife—just you."

Qi Cheng held Ji Yunhuan’s hand and spoke affectionately.

Ji Yunhuan laughed at his words. She helped him arrange his tie, "I really wish I could go with you."

"No need, I’ll try to rush back tonight. Even if I can’t make it, I’ll be back by tomorrow morning."

"I dreamed again last night. Lately, I’ve been having bad dreams all the time. I don’t want you to leave me; I feel uneasy when you’re not in my sight." Ji Yunhuan looked at him with concern.

Qi Cheng sighed, "Why don’t I introduce you to a therapist? You’re under too much stress lately, always overthinking things."

"I’m not sick," Ji Yunhuan said. "I’m just worried about you; I’m not mentally ill."

Even though she didn’t understand why she kept having those kinds of dreams!

Clearly, Zhou Yixiu and Yun Qinghang are the way they are now, yet Ji Yunhuan couldn’t find peace.

It’s all because of her chaotic dreams lately.

Qi Cheng lowered his head and kissed her strongly on the forehead, "I know you hate to leave me and can’t sleep without me next to you every day, but it’s only for one night. If you really can’t manage, just bring Ruirui over to sleep with you, since you want to sleep with him."

Ji Yunhuan nodded, "Alright, alright, I know. The clothes are ready. You can go now."

"Are you driving me away?" Mr. Qi raised his eyebrows, not too pleased.

Ji Yunhuan felt helpless at his words, "Where did you get that I was driving you away?"

They lingered for half a day, and the driver had been waiting a long time at the door.

There were many people living in this house, but not many were at home regularly. Ji Yunhuan rarely went out in C City and had to take care of two kids, so she was often at home.

She reluctantly sent Qi Cheng off.

Fortunately, there were two children at home to keep her company.

Qi Residence was very large, with many activities inside. Ji Yunhuan didn’t want to take the two kids out.

How should I put it!

Having gone through too many dangerous things, she really didn’t want to go out, and preferred staying home alone.

Bai Liyan had been accompanying Gu You for the past two days, and Gu You’s health had fully recovered.

He took Gu You back home for a trip.

Aunt initially thought they had separated, but seeing them together again made her very pleased.

During dinner, Bai Liyan said to his mother, "I want to marry Gu You."

"Marry?" Aunt was startled.

Bai Liyan glanced at his silent father, "Isn’t this also what mom and dad wished for?"

Before, he never knew how to move further with Gu You. But this incident made their relationship take a big step forward.

Sometimes, distancing can make things clearer.

"Did you really figure it out?" Bai Father looked at Bai Liyan, still finding it hard to believe his son contemplated getting married to a daughter of the Yun Family.

Bai Liyan looked at Gu You, which was a tacit acknowledgment.

Gu You, seeing his glance, quickly lowered her head with a pounding heart, even though they’d been together for two days. When he said he wanted to marry her in front of his parents, her heart still raced.

Aunt said reassuringly, "It’s good you’re able to understand. I’ll speak with the Yun Family."

Bai Father said, "Since you’ve decided, you must treat the girl well. You’re not young anymore, and should be responsible. If you dare bully Gu You in the future, I’ll acknowledge her and not you."

"Thank you, Uncle," Gu You said shamefully.

Even though she wasn’t a biological daughter of the Bai Family, she felt more cared for here than in the Yun Family.

-

In the afternoon, Gu You was changing clothes and happened to see Bai Liyan, who had just exited the bathroom, standing at the door watching her. Blushing, she said, "Why do you love to spy on people?"

"I’m not spying," Bai Liyan denied.

Gu You said, "You clearly do."

"I’m not spying, just openly watching," Bai Liyan walked over. He’d just taken a shower and glanced at Gu You, who had already changed, "Taking advantage of my shower to change clothes in my room, what are you up to?"

His tone implied she was enticing him deliberately.

Gu You glared at Bai Liyan, "What do you think I’m up to? What could I possibly be up to?"

She simply didn’t want to bother the maid for another room, as she and Bai Liyan were close.

Bai Liyan looked at her, "Last time I didn’t look closely at night, now I see you have a nice figure."

"Enough, don’t push me."

"Push you with what?" Bai Liyan looked at her surprised.

"Push me more, and I’ll call you uncle."

"..." Gu You’s threat worked well, and Bai Liyan indeed stopped talking.

He had no choice, although he felt young, he was indeed much older than Gu You and feared she’d find him old.

Love makes people insecure, even someone perfect like him feels it.

Seeing him silent, Gu You secretly chuckled, "Seems you’re really afraid I’ll think you’re old."

"Do I seem old to you?" This question hurt Bai Liyan.

Gu You stared at Bai Liyan, "Actually, it’s okay! Though you’re already an uncle, you’re still handsome! I was kidding, how could I despise you?"

Though she always spoke insincerely, hearing her say that made Bai Liyan feel slightly comforted.

He said to Gu You, "If you despise me, just say it earlier. Don’t force yourself."

Gu You looked into his eyes, "Looks like you really mind the words I just said."

Bai Liyan stared at her, finding every move of someone you like intriguing.

Gu You playfully held his arm, "Don’t be mad."

"I have things to do this afternoon, stay and accompany my mom at home, I’ll be back tonight."

He had accompanied her for two days and hadn’t handled much work.

"Okay." Gu You followed Bai Liyan downstairs. Bai Liyan left by himself.

Gu You stayed home and kept Aunt company.

Aunt was in good spirits seeing her son and future daughter-in-law getting along well.
