Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 974: Sister-in-Law’s Birthday (Part 1)

Chapter 974: Chapter 974: Sister-in-Law’s Birthday (Part 1)

Ji Yunhuan looked at him and could only shake her head helplessly, "I really can’t do anything about you. When it was just our sons, you would get so jealous if they clung to me a little more. What’s it like now? Can’t I be jealous?"

"That’s all in the past."

"Qi Cheng, you’ve really forgotten your wife now that you have a daughter."

"How could I forget my wife?" Qi Cheng gazed at Ji Yunhuan tenderly, "I went to see Zhou Yixiu today."

"You saw him and you’re still in a good mood?" In the past, if Qi Cheng saw Zhou Yixiu, his mood would turn for the worse.

Staring at his daughter and thinking of Zhou Yixiu’s situation, Qi Cheng laughed, "Seeing him miserable, I’m in a great mood."

As they were talking, Sister-in-law came down from upstairs.

Sister-in-law didn’t see Big Brother and asked Qi Cheng, "Your brother didn’t come back?"

"He said he had something to do, not sure where he went." Qi Cheng hadn’t inquired further.

Ji Yunhuan looked at Sister-in-law and said, "After I arrived, I heard from Mom that today should be Sister-in-law’s birthday."

Although they were family, because Sister-in-law was rarely home, her birthday wasn’t a day everyone intentionally remembered.

Surprised that Ji Yunhuan remembered, Sister-in-law said, "It’s just a birthday, nothing much to celebrate."

"I don’t know where Big Brother went, on Sister-in-law’s birthday, he should come back, right?" Ji Yunhuan thought, since Sister-in-law cared so much about Big Brother, maybe she just wanted to see if he could be home with her.

Sister-in-law smiled and said, "As I said, it’s just a birthday. He might not even remember it."

After all, they hadn’t celebrated their birthdays together for many years, maybe they had long forgotten.

As Sister-in-law spoke, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, which she didn’t even notice herself.

Ji Yunhuan watched Sister-in-law leave the living room, frowned, and turned to Qi Cheng, "It’s Sister-in-law’s birthday, what could be more important than appeasing one’s wife?"

Qi Cheng never forgot Ji Yunhuan’s birthday.

As long as there were no unexpected events, he would always set aside time specifically to be with her for her birthday and other meaningful days. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Although Ji Yunhuan felt that sometimes being together didn’t require paying attention to these things, she knew that these gestures were Qi Cheng’s way of caring for her, and she really enjoyed that feeling.

Qi Cheng said, "Other people’s affairs are none of my business! Give me my daughter, baby."

"No." Knowing he loved his daughter, Ji Yunhuan deliberately wouldn’t let him hold her, "You should hold Ruirui more, Ruirui is so pitiful, he even told me last night that Daddy doesn’t like him anymore since he has a sister."

"Nonsense." Qi Cheng said, "I’ve never liked him, okay? He’s clingy to death, even more so than Yangyang."

Yangyang was never as clingy to Ji Yunhuan, mainly because he wasn’t raised by her since childhood.

Actually, the person he wanted to cling to was Second Sister-in-law, but after so many things happened...

Ji Yunhuan felt that her son, compared to being pampered by her and Qi Cheng, had a much less happy childhood than Ruirui and Sister Yin.

It could even be said that he hadn’t had a childhood at all.

Lately, teachers often called to praise him, saying Yangyang’s grades are phenomenal, that he’s too smart, learning things quickly. The elementary school curriculum couldn’t keep up with his intelligence.

Even the tutors sometimes said he showed a maturity beyond his years.

Listening to this made Ji Yunhuan feel both relieved and saddened.

She knew when Yangyang changed.

When he was kidnapped by Su Longyan, that was the first time he wanted to be braver, stronger.

Then when Qi Cheng got into trouble, he wanted to protect his family and Ji Yunhuan, which spurred his desire to learn.

He understood that learning more would make him stronger, so he worked harder than anyone else.

As a parent, with a child so obedient, smart, and proactive, Ji Yunhuan should naturally be happy.

Yet, it only made her feel sorrier for her son.

After all, he’s just a few years old...

Listening to Qi Cheng’s biased opinions, Ji Yunhuan handed the daughter to him, "Come, your precious daughter."

"..." Qi Cheng held his daughter in his arms as if embracing a treasure.

Watching him, Ji Yunhuan could only sigh helplessly, really unable to do anything about him.

Just after stepping out of the living room, Sister-in-law received a call from Big Brother.

"What are you doing now?" On the phone, Big Brother’s voice sounded indifferent.

Sister-in-law looked at the flowers and plants swaying in the wind outside, "Nothing, just sunbathing."

"Wait for me at the door. I’ve sent someone to pick you up," Big Brother said and then hung up.

Ten minutes later, a car appeared at the door, and the driver addressed Sister-in-law, "Madam."

Sister-in-law looked at the driver in surprise, "What about him?"

"Sir said he wanted to take you out for lunch, so he sent me to pick you up."

"Uh..." Sister-in-law thought Big Brother was busy, given he usually spent most of his time on work, especially after Grandpa passed away, he was working harder than ever.

She didn’t expect he would suddenly want to invite her to lunch.

Sister-in-law didn’t refuse and got into the car directly.

Her visit to C City this time was with Ji Yunhuan and the others.

Leilei’s university was in C City; Sister-in-law came early to check it out.

Of course, that was just an excuse...

After all, Big Brother was in C City too, and he would take care of Leilei’s affairs as well.

Yet, Sister-in-law still came.

Because, she wanted to see Big Brother; she had been working and hadn’t seen him for a long time.

Although after coming here, she didn’t get to speak much with him. He worked late last night and went out with Qi Cheng early today.

So, hearing he left for something, Sister-in-law was a bit disappointed.

Unexpectedly, she received an invitation from him in no time.

About half an hour later, the driver brought Sister-in-law to a restaurant.

The restaurant was quiet, devoid of other guests, as Sister-in-law walked in and saw Big Brother standing at the door.

This made her heart sink slightly.

Big Brother handed her flowers he personally selected, "Happy Birthday."

Sister-in-law was taken aback at this. For someone as strong-willed as her, it was the first time she felt a little uneasy, "Why..."

Suddenly giving her flowers?

Honestly, it had been a very long time since she received anything from Big Brother.

The last time Big Brother gave her flowers was in the first year of their marriage, and after that, she and her husband drifted further apart.

Later, when Fang Zihuan was pursuing Sister-in-law, he often sent her flowers, taking romance to the extreme.

But sometimes, when it’s the wrong person, no matter what they do, it doesn’t feel quite the same.

Just like now...

Even though it’s just an ordinary bouquet, it made this always proud woman feel uneasy.
