Chapter 11 Becoming His Mrs. Qi_1

After listening to Qi Cheng, Ji Yunhuan couldn't help but laugh. "Since when did Mr. Qi start caring about other people's feelings? Whether I regret it or not has nothing to do with you. I only owe you a favor. I, Ji Yunhuan, can pay it back."

There was a sense of finality in her eyes, as if she was facing death.

To avoid owing him anything, even though she was unwilling, she could endure it.

This woman...

Clearly, she had nothing left to be proud of, but she still couldn't let go of her pride.

He stared at her and finally stopped teasing her. "Actually, I just want you to repay the favor. I'm not asking you to do this kind of thing for me. I don't have a habit of forcing women."

"I have nothing. Besides this, I really don't know what else I can give Mr. Qi." For a woman with nothing, wasn't he just after a moment of novelty?

Late at night, it was very quiet outside the window, with not a single sound of noise. Qi Cheng looked at her with certainty. "You do. You have something else you can give me!"

"What do you want?" Now, Ji Yunhuan was completely confused.

"Your marriage." He calmly uttered a few words, leaving Ji Yunhuan stunned.

"I don't understand what you mean."

"I said, I'm very interested in you. So, what about you? Are you interested in becoming Mrs. Qi?"

Although, in Qi Cheng's heart, he felt only full of disgust for her. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have lost his best friend.

If it weren't for her pride, his best friend, Su Molang, wouldn't have left with regrets.

The reason he wanted to save her today was also for his friend.

Because, in that diary at home, it was filled with Su Molang's deep feelings for her.

If his best friend saw the woman he loved so down and out today, he definitely wouldn't forgive himself.

After all, it was him who caused Ji Yunhuan to end up like this. She had already lost her parents and lived such a miserable life for five years...

For Su Molang's sake, he decided to save her from her misery.

Of course, the once arrogant Ji Yunhuan would never have thought that one day, she would have to cling to someone so humbly just to survive.

He would save her and also strip away her pride little by little, letting her see that she was just this kind of woman!

Ji Yunhuan remained bewildered, not understanding why Qi Cheng would make such a decision.

"Are you kidding me? Even Gu Yubai thinks I'm not good enough for him and is eager to cancel our engagement. You..."

"So, do you also think you're not good enough for him? If that's what you think, then consider it my mistake. You can pretend you didn't hear today's proposal." If she wasn't willing to accept his help, he wouldn't force her. Then, she would continue to live such a downcast life.

"Mr. Qi, are you deliberately helping me? We didn't know each other before."

The fact that she didn't immediately refuse proved she was already wavering!

With Ji Yunhuan's pride, she definitely wouldn't miss this opportunity. The humiliation she suffered at the Gu Family Residence that day was enough.

"You can understand it that way. But when to divorce, I'll decide."

"Divorce?"

"What, do you want to spend the rest of your life with me?" Three years, maybe five years, he wasn't sure how much patience he had for her.

But one thing was certain: he and she would definitely divorce.

After all, he wouldn't fall in love with this woman. He couldn't even touch her!

Just seeing her made him think of his friend's last words in the hospital:

My only regret is Ji Yunhuan...

Ji Yunhuan's eyes widened as she looked at his mocking gaze. "What exactly are your intentions?"

"Intentions? You'll know in the future."

"You don't really intend to marry me. And I don't need to hand my future over to a man with unclear intentions." Once married, wouldn't her life be devoid of the last bit of freedom?

Although Ji Yunhuan admitted, she really wanted this opportunity.

"Just consider it playing a game. Ji Yunhuan, can't you handle it? You have to know, this is an excellent opportunity for you. Only I would give it to you. Or do you want to live in this place forever? Or do you want people to look down on you for the rest of your life?"

His words were so realistic.

Ji Yunhuan felt a slight pain in her chest. She dreamt of escaping this life. But the man in front of her...

He wasn't worth trusting.

She didn't know why, but she even feared him somewhat because he always made her unable to see through him.

He appeared so unexpectedly...

Someone who shouldn't have appeared in her world just appeared.

Seeing her resistance, Qi Cheng said, "Just as you said earlier, you have nothing left. What do you have to worry about now?"

"Are you really willing to marry me?" She bit her lip, confirming incredulously.

"Yes." Qi Cheng's tone was arrogant. "I'm not Gu Yubai. I don't need to consider a woman's family background to marry her. On the contrary, being with me, you can regain everything you once lost."

He could have just given her some money, offering her a chance to turn her life around. But that wasn't what he wanted.

His words reminded Ji Yunhuan of how she was humiliated at the Gu Family Residence that day.

Mrs. Gu's coldness, Gu Yubai's betrayal, Gu Xinran's humiliation, and all those who laughed at her...

Only she knew the kind of life she had lived in these five years.

Finally, with a chance to turn her life around in front of her, why should she refuse?

"You agreed?" He saw a hint of compromise in her eyes.

"As long as you're sure you won't regret it." Although she didn't know his intentions, she had nothing left. It couldn't get worse than it was now.

Moreover, just marrying him was something all women dreamed of!

-

In the morning, the breakfast table at the Gu Family Residence felt oppressively tense.

Gu Yubai's face was heavy with displeasure, thinking about the scene last night.

Mrs. Gu looked at him. "Yubai, didn't you go to see Ji Yunhuan last night? Did you give her the money?"

"No." Gu Yubai squeezed out the two words through gritted teeth.

His handsome face looked somewhat ferocious at the moment.

"Did she agree to cancel the engagement?" Mrs. Gu didn't care if Ji Yunhuan took the money or if her brother's hospital fees were paid. She only cared about when Ji Yunhuan would let go of Gu Yubai and stop entangling him.

"No."

"That woman is really shameless! Does she really think she has our Gu family wrapped around her finger? I'll go find her later. It's unacceptable that we can't deal with her." Mrs. Gu said angrily.

It was because of that birthday party that they couldn't make a big scene, but now, she decided to personally go to Ji Yunhuan to sort things out, even using force if necessary.

"I'll go with Mom." Gu Xinran added, teaching Ji Yunhuan a lesson was something she couldn't miss out on!
