章 15: Chapter 15 The Strangest Couple_1
She didn't know where he got the patience from when he was clearly not that nice to her.
Although he was the one who proposed, she could still feel the thick indifference emanating from Qi Cheng.
Seeing Qi Cheng standing outside the isolation window patiently waiting, Ji Chen asked puzzledly, "Sis, who is he? Where is Brother Yubai?"
"I've already separated from Gu Yubai. He has nothing to do with our future. That man outside... you can call him brother-in-law."
"Uh..." Ji Chen showed an undisguisable surprise in his eyes. "You were Brother Yubai's fiancée before. I called him bro. Why should I just call this one brother-in-law?"
"For now, just call him that! It's also fine to call him bro directly." Ji Yunhuan didn't want to discuss marriage matters with Ji Chen, fearing he might overthink.
Although he was still young, he was always very sensitive.
For example, now he started to get suspicious. "Is it because the Gu Family Residence doesn't want you anymore?"
"It's not that. It's me who doesn't want him anymore. Sis wants to find a better man. Is that not allowed?"
"But you liked Gu Yubai a lot before." He absolutely didn't believe his sister would dump Gu Yubai unless he did something hurtful to her.
Because Gu Yubai was the fiancé chosen by their father for her.
"Like?" This word made Ji Yunhuan chuckle lightly. "Besides you, I don't like anyone! It doesn't matter whom I'm with."
Qi Cheng stood outside the glass window. Although he couldn't hear what she was saying clearly, he could guess by looking at her lips.
Did she really say: It doesn't matter whom I'm with?
Although it seemed more like something she used to comfort Ji Chen, after spending the past two days together, he had confirmed that she indeed didn't have deep feelings for Gu Yubai. Even though she had been engaged to him since her teenage years. Even though he had been by her side for the past five years.
Leaving Gu Yubai, she only had anger from humiliation, not much sadness. Someone truly heartbroken wouldn't behave like her.
Such a cold woman, yet she was the love of his late best friend's life, the woman he had thought of on his deathbed.
He didn't know whether to hate his friend for his poor taste or to hate Ji Yunhuan for her coldness. In any case, Qi Cheng was very displeased at that moment.
He almost wanted to go inside and strangle her, making her die with Su Molang together... If that could bring his dearest friend back, he wouldn't hesitate.
At that moment, Ji Yunhuan turned her gaze toward him through the glass.
Her eyes were cold yet clear. She called his name, Qi Cheng.
He was stunned, and surprisingly, some of his inner anger dissipated.
It was Ji Chen asking her Qi Cheng's name, so she looked at her brother, yet she could be so gentle facing her brother.
At that moment, Ji Yunhuan walked out from inside. "Qi Cheng, my brother wants to talk to you. Come in."
It sounded more like a command, not a request.
Mr. Qi twitched the corner of his mouth but still nodded and walked into the ward.
Since childhood, Ji Chen's health had always been poor. There were always doctors taking care of him at home, and he rarely saw other people. After their family's incident, for five years, he had been confined to the hospital without seeing any strangers.
The sixteen-year-old looked two years younger than his actual age. Seeing Qi Cheng, he was even a bit shy, yet he courageously called out, "Brother-in-law."
Qi Cheng's heart was cold, but his demeanor was always approachable. He smiled, "Hello, Ji Chen. I've heard your sister mention you often. Finally meeting you today."
The boy in front of him was very comely, somewhat resembling Ji Yunhuan. If it wasn't for being sick in the hospital all the time, he would definitely be very popular among girls.
Seeing Qi Cheng's smile eased his nervous tension a bit.
He boldly asked a question nobody thought he would, "How much do you like my sister?"
Ji Yunhuan was taken aback and instinctively looked at Qi Cheng.
She was so worried he would tell the truth...
Upon meeting Qi Cheng's assessing gaze, their eyes met in the air. She felt uncomfortable but her eyes were still filled with pleading.
"Uh..." Qi Cheng seemed to be seriously thinking. Ji Yunhuan's heart was already cramping.
Damn it, why did she feel this man had bad intentions?
To this day, she still didn't understand whether she had done Qi Cheng a favor or wronged him in the past, hence why he approached her. Because toward herself, he wasn't purely kind or purely ruthless...
Marrying a man with unclear intentions, suddenly, felt like a huge mistake!
She must have gone mad to make such a decision.
"Why are you thinking so long?" Ji Chen asked, a bit discontent.
He thought, if someone truly liked another, they shouldn't need to think!
Qi Cheng answered seriously, "I just don't want you to feel like I'm brushing you off."
"Have you thought about it now?"
Qi Cheng looked at Ji Yunhuan, earnestly answering the question, "If your sister is the moon, then I'm willing to be a star."
His words were so mushy that Ji Yunhuan's heart cramped twice. She never thought he could say such things.
But Ji Chen liked it a lot, so she didn't say anything.
When they left the hospital, it was raining. Sitting in the car, Qi Cheng said to Ji Yunhuan, "I helped you today. You should think about how to repay me."
"What do you want?"
Qi Cheng stared at her without blinking, "That's your problem to consider."
"I don't like thinking about problems." Her tone was still cold, but her expression when facing him wasn't as indifferent as before.
Qi Cheng laughed, "It's a rare chance to get married. Can't you be happier?"
His words made Ji Yunhuan pause. She then remembered again that she and he were already husband and wife.
Only, there might not be a pair of spouses more unfamiliar with each other in this world, right?
"Mr. Qi, I want to ask, why did you decide to marry me?" Although she knew he wouldn't say, she still couldn't help but ask.
"Just for the legitimate reason to sleep with you."
These words made Ji Yunhuan frown. She knew he was joking, but his remark killed any desire she had to argue with him.
Because he simply didn't intend to tell the truth.
Rain dripped all afternoon. Gu Yubai declined Ouyang Fei's invitation, drove himself, and unconsciously arrived at Ji Yunhuan's place.
All day, his mind was filled with scenes of Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan being together, nearly driving him crazy. Even when he was at work, he couldn't help but get distracted twice.
Seeing the floor where Ji Yunhuan's apartment was, the window was still open. It seemed she was home. He rushed upstairs in a few strides.
His chest was on fire. She was still his fiancée, unless he disagreed, she had no right to be with another man!
