Gu Qixiao was incredibly indulgent toward Ji Yu in this regard. No matter what Ji Yu said, he would almost always agree.
Even if Ji Yu wanted to chase him away, she couldn’t find a good reason to do so.
"Do you have any other questions?"
"Will there be any discomfort for her in the future?" Gu Qixiao was worried Ji Yu might feel uncomfortable.
The doctor carefully explained Ji Yu’s condition, and Gu Qixiao ticulously took down notes. Anyone who didn’t know might have thought he was attending a class and taking study notes.
"Young lady, your husband really cares about you. You must be very fortunate."
Ji Yu gave an awkward smile. Was she supposed to explain that they weren’t actually husband and wife?
She could only temporarily accept these remarks.
Still, deep down, Ji Yu couldn’t help but feel touched by Gu Qixiao’s thoughtfulness.
After all, who wouldn’t appreciate such attentive care?
As the two walked out, Gu Qixiao didn’t forget to support Ji Yu.
"I’m only three months along; I don’t need anyone to hold . Besides, don’t you think this is a bit over the top?"
She wasn’t feeling unwell and didn’t think such cautiousness was necessary.
But in Gu Qixiao’s eyes, Ji Yu seed as fragile as a porcelain doll.
"You’re pregnant, so you should be taken good care of. Why not move to my place..."
"No way." Ji Yu flatly rejected the suggestion without hesitation.
Though she wouldn’t continue hiding her pregnancy, that didn’t an she was planning to make any changes in her relationship with Gu Qixiao.
"Then how about dinner tonight?" Gu Qixiao, worried Ji Yu might feel bored, made the offer despite knowing his attempts at courting her might seem a bit lackluster. But just seeing her made him naturally want to be near her.
Even Ji Yu couldn’t help but be curious—what was it about her that made him so persistent?
"Don’t you think your behavior would be embarrassing if others saw you like this?"
Since when had he ever acted so humble in front of anyone else?
And yet, with Ji Yu, he was willing to lower his posture. "I’m pursuing you, not negotiating a business deal. Why would it be embarrassing?"
He cared about his image in front of others, but when it ca to Ji Yu, he didn’t even consider it.
"Dinner’s not happening; I have plans with Qinqin."
Recently, Feng Qinqin had been preparing for her engagent and had dragged Ji Yu into nurous conversations about her future husband. Any spare mont she had, Qinqin would seek Ji Yu for ntal support.
The smile on Gu Qixiao’s lips instantly faded. "Why are you getting involved in Feng Qinqin’s marriage? Besides, their Feng family has already handled everything; your input won’t change anything."
He finally understood what people ant by how a girlfriend’s best friend and a boyfriend couldn’t coexist. Even though he hadn’t officially established a relationship with Ji Yu, the sight of Feng Qinqin was enough to make him frown.
"Her matters are important to . She’s my best friend."
This sentint had never wavered in Ji Yu’s heart.
Thinking about the significant influence Feng Qinqin had on Ji Yu, Gu Qixiao couldn’t help but feel a pang of sourness. When would he occupy such an irreplaceable position in Ji Yu’s heart?
"Let drive you over, then."
For now, he wasn’t even her boyfriend, so all he could do was drop her off outside.
Ji Yu stepped out of the car and found Gu Qixiao wearing an expression that resembled that of a resentful spouse. Seeing this, she couldn’t help but laugh. "What kind of look is that?"
Sotis, Gu Qixiao truly seed a little endearing, but this side of him was reserved only for Ji Yu to see.
"Am I considered your boyfriend?"
"Dream on. Didn’t I already say we’ll discuss that after the baby is born?" Ji Yu had made it clear earlier and wasn’t about to change her stance so casually.
Gu Qixiao’s expression turned even more forlorn. "And I don’t even get a title until then? That baby won’t be born for another seven months!"
If soone else with sharp eyes noticed Ji Yu’s charm in the anti, what would he even do?
Ji Yu simply ignored him.
Feng Qinqin had already been waiting for a while. When she saw Ji Yu, she curiously glanced behind her. "What, your President Gu didn’t co with you?"
She was already used to seeing Gu Qixiao wherever Ji Yu went. Not seeing him now made her feel strangely unsettled.
"Don’t look forward to laughing at . Let’s talk about your engagent preparations instead. Surely you’re not planning to get into a fight with him during the ceremony?"
At the ntion of the engagent party, Feng Qinqin imdiately deflated. "Ugh, every ti you bring it up, I feel completely stressed and confused. I have no idea what to do about it."
She looked downright miserable when she talked about it.
"Previously, I told you he had a girlfriend, didn’t I? Well, they got into an argunt and decided to bla for it, saying I must’ve caused their problems. Do I seem like soone who wants to ddle in their ss?"
Ji Yu raised her eyebrows, surprised by the unexpected developnt. "So, what’s your plan? Are you going to put up with it for now or kick him out?"
When faced with such dilemmas in the past, Feng Qinqin wouldn’t hesitate to kick the guy out. But this ti, things weren’t as simple.
"My dad’s health still hasn’t improved. He’s always wanted to see get married. How could I ss things up during such a ti?"
She felt downhearted but couldn’t risk letting her parents down.
"I say, find soone else and hold the engagent party on the sa date."
Ultimately, Feng Qinqin only saw the guy as a temporary partner anyway; there was no need to make such a big deal of it.
"But..."
Feng Qinqin considered the suggestion carefully but felt that it wasn’t very practical. If people found out, she’d inevitably be scolded to death.
"I don’t even have a suitable backup candidate right now!"
"Well, think it over carefully. I feel like this guy might have ulterior motives."
Decisions like this required thorough judgnt; otherwise, who could say for sure what his true intentions were?
The motives weren’t necessarily the problem—it was the complications that might follow.
"I’ll think about it seriously. If all else fails, I can ask your President Gu to introduce soone. Honestly, as long as I can soothe my dad for now, that would be better than nothing."
This ti, Feng Qinqin drank heavily, visibly distressed over the whole ordeal.
Ji Yu understood where she was coming from. Still, seeing Qinqin get plastered, Ji Yu couldn’t help but feel concerned.
Since she was pregnant and couldn’t manage to handle Qinqin in this state, she ended up calling Ji Yuanzhou for help.
Ji Yuanzhou frowned slightly at the sight of an inebriated Feng Qinqin. "I’ll send her ho first and then co back for you."
"Brother, you don’t need to trouble yourself with . Getting ho will be easy for . Just focus on getting her back safely—Qinqin hasn’t been in great spirits lately."
She was aware of how much Ji Yuanzhou disliked dealing with drunk people.
Left with no choice, Ji Yuanzhou arranged for a driver to take Ji Yu ho while he personally took care of Feng Qinqin.
Ji Yu felt reassured watching them leave in the car and didn’t think about it much before heading ho herself.
Little did she know, they would surprise her with sothing huge the following day.
