Ji Yu really liked the way Feng Qinqin looked when she smiled.
But the current situation was indeed a bit uncomfortable.
Seeing that Feng Qinqin was about to fall asleep, Ji Yu quickly helped her into her house.
"Yuyu, aren’t you staying over for the night?"
The Feng family knew how close their relationship was and naturally worried about Ji Yu’s safety upon seeing her.
"I’m fine, I have work tomorrow, and it’s a bit far from here."
She still needed to return and check on so things.
This ti, Ji Yuanzhou didn’t ask where Ji Yu was going. "Just let know if you’ll be back late. I’m worried sothing might happen to you again."
He recalled what Gu Qixiao had said last ti and felt a bit dissatisfied with how he had handled things before.
Ji Yu nodded. "Brother, you don’t have to keep waiting for . How could so many things happen all the ti?"
She had been staying vigilant lately, ensuring that nothing similar would happen again.
Ji Yuanzhou’s expression was serious. "Even if you’re cautious, you can’t avoid the sches of those who act in the shadows. I know you probably think I’m ddling, but you must listen to on this matter."
He didn’t want anything to happen to Ji Yu.
Seeing his earnest expression, Ji Yu couldn’t bring herself to say anything more.
"Brother, I understand."
But when Ji Yu got busy, she easily forgot such matters.
Moreover, Gu Qixiao had been exceptionally proactive recently. As soon as Ji Yu finished work, the first person she saw was almost always Gu Qixiao.
"Sister Yu, when are you two planning to get together?" Even the newcors were curious. They had seen Ji Yu and Gu Qixiao dining together for so long, yet there was still no official confirmation of their relationship.
Ji Yu’s expression beca a little awkward. "Actually, we’re just friends."
It had to be said that Gu Qixiao had been appearing around here far too often recently, to the point where things had developed like this.
Ji Yu felt conflicted. "You guys shouldn’t make wild guesses. This is sothing that will absolutely never happen."
She could only try to clear it up for now.
Otherwise, if they brought it up again later, and Gu Qixiao happened to be there, wouldn’t it be super awkward?
But they refused to believe her and insisted there must be sothing between the two of them.
"Sister Yu, you weren’t like this before. You used to treat eting other suitors like a mission impossible. But now you’re eting this one every single day."
The group sized up Ji Yu, finding the whole situation extrely peculiar.
Ji Yu was slightly stunned and only then realized that, indeed, she and Gu Qixiao saw each other every single day. This was sothing that had never happened before.
During dinner that night, Ji Yu kept pondering over this, looking visibly distracted.
"You don’t like tonight’s dishes?"
He cared deeply about such things. Almost every day, he chose als based on Ji Yu’s preferences.
Ji Yu sighed softly. "That’s not what I an. I’m just wondering how you find the ti to have dinner with every day."
Previously, Gu Qixiao had seed incredibly busy, like he didn’t have a mont to spare for Ji Yu.
Yet recently, he had been circling around Ji Yu nonstop.
To Ji Yu, the current situation felt a bit surreal.
"I know what you’re trying to say, but these are things I do willingly."
He seed calm and collected.
What Ji Yu didn’t know was that Gu Qixiao was anything but idle.
It was just that soone else was bearing the burden in his stead.
Back at the office, the exhausted Assistant Li looked utterly drained. If anyone desperately wanted these two to start dating already, it would definitely be Assistant Li.
"If it makes you uncomfortable, I can make adjustnts."
He had no principles when it ca to Ji Yu.
As long as Ji Yu wasn’t interested in anyone else, he could maintain his calm deanor.
"That’s not what I an. I’m just worried that eting so often might lead to misunderstandings."
She decided it was better to address this matter directly.
"There’s no misunderstanding. I’ve been openly pursuing you. I made that clear long ago."
His pursuit of her had always been out in the open.
For a mont, Ji Yu was at a loss for words. She couldn’t deny that this man was indeed quite different.
"I can change anything you don’t like, but you absolutely can’t turn down my dinner invitations. I don’t care about others’ opinions."
He cared only about Ji Yu.
As long as Ji Yu wasn’t uncomfortable with his actions, there was no need to worry about anyone else.
"Fine."
Not knowing what else to say, she could only agree for now.
"I’ll take you ho." He didn’t feel at ease letting Ji Yu go back alone.
The concern he and others had shown her lately hadn’t gone unnoticed by Ji Yu, who felt a bit helpless. "You all really don’t need to look after like this. I understand these matters and don’t need anyone else’s help."
She certainly wouldn’t stumble in the sa place twice.
However, Gu Qixiao insisted on escorting her ho, personally watching her go inside before leaving.
Ji Yu had to admit that so things were indeed hard to resist.
Song Xuan, who had long been aware of this, had been keeping a close watch on Gu Qixiao’s actions these past few days.
"Assistant Li, don’t you think working overti like this is exhausting? Isn’t all this stuff supposed to be Xiao’s responsibility? This situation with Xiao is really inappropriate."
In her view, Gu Qixiao had never neglected work for anyone before.
Yet recently, he didn’t seem to care at all about it.
Assistant Li frowned. "Miss Song, this isn’t sothing you should comnt on. Besides, President Gu has already handled most of the critical matters himself before delegating the rest to ."
When it ca to key issues, Gu Qixiao wouldn’t make any mistakes.
But what Song Xuan wanted was for Gu Qixiao to stay by her side—or at least remain at the office, which was far better than spending his ti with Ji Yu.
"I’m just saying that lately, Xiao seems to be neglecting these matters too much. I didn’t an anything else. You should understand what I an, right, Assistant Li?"
She stared at Assistant Li, trying to urge him into action to bring Gu Qixiao back.
"I’m sorry, Miss Song, but that’s not sothing I can decide."
Song Xuan frowned, growing increasingly impatient with Assistant Li. She was already considering firing him the mont she solidified her relationship with Gu Qixiao.
Knowing there was no way to convince Assistant Li, she had no choice but to leave for now.
Looking at the empty villa and the fruit knife on the table, she hesitated for a mont before finally picking up the knife and slicing deeply into her arm.
[Xiao, have you abandoned ?]
After sending the photo and ssage, she collapsed to the side.
When Gu Qixiao saw the ssage, his brows knit tightly. "Head back to the villa."
He hurriedly rushed back and called 120 (ergency services) on the way.
Seeing Song Xuan lying on the floor, his heart filled with endless irritation.
"This lady has lost a lot of blood and needs to be taken to the hospital imdiately. Family mbers, please follow."
The nurse quickly perford a check and rushed her into the ambulance.
Gu Qixiao sighed but didn’t dare delay, following them to the hospital.
