"Never trust soone too much, or you’ll definitely encounter problems down the road. So, Lin Wenyan knew I wouldn’t be in danger, and his arrangents make sense to ."
She wouldn’t trust people casually, but at the sa ti, she wouldn’t let herself be bullied without reason.
In fact, Assistant Li couldn’t see any connection between these things, but seeing Ji Yu’s confidence, he really didn’t know what to say and chose to stay silent.
Ji Yu looked at him and imdiately knew he was still considering whether this matter was true or not.
"You don’t have to worry about whether it’s true or not. Lin Wenyan will contact once he learns about it. You don’t need to tell Gu Qixiao either."
This issue wouldn’t affect their collaboration.
Minor things like this are best left alone.
It turned out Ji Yu was right.
Lin Wenyan contacted Ji Yu the very next day, and he didn’t appear angry in the slightest.
"Doctor Ji really takes matters seriously. That said, I was indeed wrong here. I didn’t tie up loose ends properly back then, and I appreciate the ti you helped gain."
He spoke calmly and confidently, without looking guilty in the slightest.
Ji Yu was already used to this kind of behavior, but she was also curious about what was going on with him.
"You’ve always known how seriously I take things. Why didn’t you tell beforehand and coordinate?"
"I wanted to discuss it with you, but isn’t there that person beside you?" Lin Wenyan sounded helpless; sotis he didn’t know how to describe Gu Qixiao.
Perhaps "lunatic" would be the most fitting term.
"In front of you, sure, he’s calm enough and accommodating. But in front of , that’s not the case."
It felt like he was ready to fight at any mont. Fortunately, Lin Wenyan’s arrangents had been well-tid recently, so he hadn’t been caught yet.
"If Gu Qixiao finds out about this, I’ll probably wind up in serious trouble."
Things like this definitely required a bit of caution.
Ji Yu understood such situations and, upon hearing this, thought Gu Qixiao actually seed sowhat adorable.
"He’s not as terrible as you think. He’s just particularly stubborn about matters involving . I know his intentions and all the efforts he’s been making recently."
Lin Wenyan could only shut up after hearing this. After all, ntioning such things in front of a lovey-dovey couple would inevitably make him look bad.
He didn’t understand this type of scenario.
And, of course, he wouldn’t try such arrangents again, as they clearly hadn’t worked well.
Ji Yu didn’t know what to say next.
Perhaps it was Lin Wenyan’s obvious disdain that made her pause.
"Neither of us owes the other anything for this incident. There’s no need to dwell on it going forward. I know you’re a straightforward person."
Over the recent weeks, he’d co to understand Ji Yu’s personality quite well, so he decided to lay things out clearly.
Ji Yu raised an eyebrow, her expression neutral. "Are you trying to suggest I shouldn’t tell Gu Qixiao?"
If Gu Qixiao learned about this, there’d surely be trouble. Lin Wenyan just wanted to live peacefully for a while, especially after gaining access to such valuable resources.
"Let’s just consider this as owing you one."
Finally, Ji Yu was satisfied.
Still, she didn’t have the ti to keep talking about it. "I promise I won’t. Now I have things to deal with on his end. I won’t be joining you for dinner tonight."
Seeing how hurried she looked, Lin Wenyan didn’t say anything else.
He rely found it puzzling how she always seed so busy, without ever showing what she was occupied with.
In truth, Ji Yu was caught up in handling matters between Ji Yuanzhou and Feng Qinqin.
She couldn’t understand how two people who clearly liked each other had ended up in such a situation.
Originally, Feng Qinqin intended to keep the matter hidden from Ji Yu, but since Ji Yu had already arrived, she figured Ji Yu likely knew the truth.
"I’m sorry, Yuyu. I initially planned to keep this under wraps for now."
Ji Yu didn’t see why such a thing should be kept secret. "Don’t you think this is wrong? What’s going on with you and my brother?"
Both of them acted so lodramatic, yet neither seed willing to talk—was this supposed to help their relationship?
Speaking of Ji Yuanzhou, her expression turned bitter. "I know Ji Yuanzhou doesn’t like . I don’t want to keep struggling anymore. Things have reached this point; we might as well go our separate ways."
Dragging this on was doing neither of them any good.
Ji Yu felt helpless, believing the situation needed so ti to work itself out.
But it simply wouldn’t resolve unless the two of them started talking.
"Co on, let’s sit down and talk it out. I want to know what’s really going on—do you both like each other or not? Why can’t you just speak plainly when you et?"
Everyone sulking secretly as though things were hopeless—it’s as if they were pretending this was the worst situation possible.
They had the chance to explain everything, but instead clamd up. Were they planning to put on so kind of show?
"I don’t know what to say." Feng Qinqin seed reluctant to et with Ji Yuanzhou. Whenever they saw each other, it always went the sa way, and she had grown tired of it all.
"Yuyu, please don’t make keep struggling. I’ve already given up. This situation is just too painful for . He doesn’t like , and I don’t like him anymore."
If soone doesn’t love you, no matter how much you say, it won’t make a difference.
Ji Yu found the whole thing even harder to understand. "Wait a minute, sothing doesn’t seem right. My brother was barely eating or sleeping after hearing about your engagent. If that’s not love, what is it?"
This didn’t add up.
From the start, everything about this situation was different from what they imagined.
Perhaps, as an outsider, Ji Yu saw things more clearly than they did.
"You’re overthinking everything. Right now, nothing’s settled. You two need to sit down and talk properly. I refuse to believe there’s no solution."
She wouldn’t accept such an outco. And besides, what had they talked about the last ti they t? Ji Yu had arranged for them to et simply so that they could share their feelings.
Feng Qinqin had no choice but to go with her and see for herself what would happen.
Deep down, she still had hope. Why else would she agree to et him?
anwhile, Ji Yu didn’t idle; when arranging for Ji Yuanzhou to et, she didn’t forget to lay out how bad things were.
"[Brother, I need to talk to you about this. Qinqin’s fiancé is awful—he keeps belittling her.]"
