CHAPTER 891: CHAPTER 891: QI CHENG RETURNS

Today, Yangyang is not here. Ji Yunhuan asked the Female Housekeeper to take him to school.

It’s not a solution to keep him at home all the time; Yangyang is already five years old, and he should go to school.

If he stays at home all the time, Ji Yunhuan is afraid he will become more and more isolated.

Moreover, the atmosphere at home right now can easily affect him; it’s better to let him go to school and interact more with other children.

Su Zi came in from outside, "Sister Yunhuan."

Upon hearing Su Zi’s voice, Ji Yunhuan nodded, "Su Zi is here."

"Yes. I met Bai Liyan today and got a bit worried about you, so I came to check on you. Are you okay?" Su Zi asked full of concern.

Ji Yunhuan is really grateful for the people who care about her here, "I’m fine, really good."

Su Zi has already sat down, looking at Ruirui and said with concern, "Ruirui, come over, let Auntie hold you."

Ruirui looked at Su Zi and shook his head. He’s very attached to Ji Yunhuan right now and doesn’t want to leave her at all.

Su Zi sighed, "If you keep doing this, your mom must be very tired!"

"..." Ruirui looked at Ji Yunhuan silently, asking her with his eyes if she was tired.

Ji Yunhuan said, "It’s okay, let me hold him for a while."

When she holds her child like this, it’s not only Yangyang who is comforted but also herself.

To her, her children are another part of Qi Cheng.

When Qi Cheng is not by her side, their existence is her only solace.

For the time afterward, everyone kept trying to find Qi Cheng, but unfortunately, there was no news.

Although they knew he was in Zhou Yixiu’s hands, Qi Cheng seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Ji Yunhuan missed her grandfather during this time. If it was him, no matter where someone was hidden, they would be found; the younger generation could never be as formidable as her grandfather.

In a blink, a winter had passed.

This year’s Spring Festival was the loneliest and most solitary one Ji Yunhuan ever had. Even when her parents passed away, together with Chencheng, she had never felt this lonely.

But this time, because Qi Cheng was absent, she felt her world had completely lost its color.

Every day she lived in worry, hoping and longing for him to return to her side.

After the Spring Festival, Ji Yunhuan took the children to the Fushan Hot Spring.

She had left so many memories here with Qi Cheng that she couldn’t help but come, always feeling that when she was here, she was much closer to him.

Warmth came along with her.

In the afternoon, Ji Yunhuan went up the mountain by herself, and upon her return, Warmth met her at the door, "Where did you go? I looked for you for ages."

"Just went for a walk." It was already spring, with flowers blooming on the mountain and beautiful scenery, which reminded Ji Yunhuan of the first time she went to the mountain with Qi Cheng and they had to stay at the caretaker’s place because of the rain.

Thinking back to those memories now, all that’s left is heartache and sweetness.

Warmth looked at the visibly thinner Ji Yunhuan, "Qi Cheng will be fine; don’t worry."

Ji Yunhuan said, "I don’t know how to describe my feelings right now."

She’s very tired and distressed, having worried for so long that she became numb.

Warmth heard her words and sighed, "Let’s go eat."

After Ji Yunhuan went out, the two children kept looking for her, with Warmth helping to take care of them.

Having stayed a few days at Fushan Hot Spring Hotel, Ji Yunhuan really liked the atmosphere here and wasn’t in a hurry to go back. But there was a call from home, from her elder brother, "Yunhuan, Qi Cheng has returned."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunhuan felt like she was dreaming, as this scene had already surfaced countless times in her dreams, only to wake up to a sad dream each time.

Her voice trembled a little, "Is it true?"

"Yes," her brother said, "he has been brought home just now. You should come and see him."

Ji Yunhuan was very surprised, "Okay, I’ll come back right away."

She was both excited and nervous.

Even though it was nighttime, Ji Yunhuan was impatient to return, and it took Warmth’s repeated persuasion to convince her to leave early the next day.

From here it took several hours for the driver, and the next morning before dawn, Ji Yunhuan was urging to go back.

On the way, Warmth kept looking at her, feeling Warmth’s inner turmoil and excitement.

Since Qi Cheng disappeared, almost five months had passed, during which a lot had happened. Zhou Yixiu threatened and tempted Ji Yunhuan numerous times.

There were even times when Ji Yunhuan, worried about Qi Cheng to the brink of madness, thought about agreeing to Zhou Yixiu’s terms just to get Qi Cheng back.

But, in the end, she restrained herself rationally.

In addition, Zhou Yixiu took advantage of Qi Cheng’s absence to try to acquire his company. Fortunately, Bai Liyan helped with decision-making and Assistant Gao handled operations, preventing Zhou Yixiu’s massive acquisitions.

On a spring morning, Ji Yunhuan got out of the car and saw her second sister-in-law, whose leg had completely healed, standing there, excitedly asking, "Is Qi Cheng really back?"

"Yes," her sister-in-law said, "he’s inside."

It was clear how excited Ji Yunhuan was.

Ji Yunhuan restrained her inner tension and walked to the living room, where there were only a few people; at the moment, Qi’s mother and her elder brother were there.

Qi Cheng was sitting on the sofa, wearing a white shirt, his hair longer, reaching the center and covering his eyes, making him look fresher, almost like his student days.

Although he had changed slightly, it was indeed him.

"Qi Cheng!" Ji Yunhuan called out the name with difficulty, her voice trembling.

Five months, so many nights dreaming of him, hoping each day he would appear before her, and unexpectedly, he really came back.

In excitement, she felt her tears were about to fall.

Qi’s mother and her elder brother raised their heads to look at Ji Yunhuan.

Qi Cheng heard the sound, turned his head to look at Ji Yunhuan...

He stared at her, almost unable to recognize her after such a long absence.

Ji Yunhuan sat down on the sofa and grabbed his hand, "You’re back. How is it, are you hurt anywhere?"

Qi Cheng glanced at the hand Ji Yunhuan was holding and gently withdrew it. This indifferent gesture left Ji Yunhuan a little stunned.

Her elder brother beside said, "His wounds aren’t fully healed yet; he was seriously injured. The doctor says it will take some time to fully recover."

"Really?" Ji Yunhuan felt very uneasy, worriedly looking at Qi Cheng, noticing he seemed to not recognize her at all.
