"When it cos to things like this, I’ve always been decisive. So, when he made those demands, I’d already thought through everything that would follow. You really don’t need to worry."
Ji Yu was helpless but understood their genuine concern for her.
Yet, this kind of concern only made her feel uneasy.
Ji Yuanzhou had no idea how to describe his current feelings. He understood clearly how important Ji Yu was to him.
Even if it were impossible for them to beco lovers, their sibling bond would never change.
"Yu, don’t do such risky things again." He was worried about Ji Yu’s safety.
Ji Yu remained calm and composed.
"I understand." She had no intention of taking risks anymore, especially for the child. Now already three months along, Ji Yu truly couldn’t afford to take any more chances.
"Fortunately, both you and the child are fine. During this ti, Gu Qixiao has been very worried about you. He’s tried several tis to bring you back, but every attempt failed."
"Several tis?" She seed a little surprised and hadn’t expected Gu Qixiao to have been so persistent.
"Since I first ca to see you, he wouldn’t let et you afterward. That’s why I’ve been so worried." He felt uncomfortable just thinking about what had happened before.
He was terribly afraid Ji Yu would find out, so he had no choice but to act nonchalant, as if he knew nothing.
Ji Yu increasingly felt that sothing was off this ti. From the mont Gu Qixiao first said those words, hadn’t he considered sothing might be wrong?
She didn’t bring it to the surface.
But Gu Qixiao already knew Ji Yu was beginning to suspect sothing.
He had known all along this matter couldn’t be kept hidden.
"Yu, they’ve just slightly recovered. How about letting them rest while I take you to the hospital for a follow-up? Just to ensure there’s no trouble later."
He still couldn’t rest easy about Ji Yu’s condition.
Ji Yu also had so questions she wanted to ask Gu Qixiao, so she agreed without hesitation.
"Brother, you and Qinqin rest well. I’ll go take care of the check-up first."
The two of them left the hospital room.
At first, Ji Yu remained silent, but her conflicted expression was easy to read.
"Yu, if you have sothing to ask, just go ahead. I know you’re starting to doubt ."
He sighed, accepting that sooner or later, the truth would co out—it was only natural.
He was resigned to letting things fall apart.
"It’s nothing. Maybe I’ve just been too sensitive lately. After the check-up, I want to get so proper rest."
She really couldn’t continue like this.
Seeing her in this state saddened Gu Qixiao. "Yu..."
He didn’t want her to dwell on these thoughts any longer. Perhaps it’d be better to just confess everything.
"I need ti to carefully reflect on things, so can we stop talking about it for now?" Her gaze at Gu Qixiao was serious, as if he had severely crossed a line.
Sothing in Gu Qixiao’s heart trembled.
He didn’t know how to broach the topic with Ji Yu, especially seeing her current expression. It was as if once she learned the truth, she’d inevitably leave him.
"Rest well." For now, he could only hide his thoughts.
He wanted to spend his life with Ji Yu.
During the check-up, Ji Yu appeared a bit listless.
By the end, she had even drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
Gu Qixiao had no intention of waking her. Staring at her serene, sleeping face, his mind was consud with everything that had happened.
"Yu, I’m sorry." He truly didn’t know how to explain. For now, he decided to keep it a secret.
Even in her sleep, Ji Yu seed to sense his unspoken apology, furrowing her brows slightly as though deeply troubled.
Gu Qixiao carried her directly back to the villa.
The next morning, Ji Yu woke up in a daze. "Where am I?"
"My house." He had wanted to bring her here, knowing she’d never been exposed to his world before.
Unexpectedly, her first reaction was to ask if his father was there.
"My dad doesn’t live with . This is my own place."
So, does that an there’s no issue?
Ji Yu wasn’t sure whether to feel relieved or sothing else entirely.
The situation just felt awkward.
After all, she and Mr. Gu were so familiar with each other that, if they ca face-to-face, keeping things a secret would beco impossible.
"Do you want to et my parents?" Gu Qixiao asked, evidently misunderstanding her aning and trying to figure it out.
Ji Yu displayed no particular reaction. "No, I’m just worried about last night. If soone saw, it’d be embarrassing."
She guessed he must have carried her back last night.
Feeling a headache coming on, she rubbed her temples, suddenly not knowing how to face things moving forward.
"Gu Qixiao, if I kept sothing from you, would you be angry with ?"
"No." Gu Qixiao responded almost without hesitation.
Although Ji Yu had done many things that upset him in the past, the mont he saw her face, no matter what it was, it beca unimportant.
Ji Yu wasn’t sure what to expect next, but the present situation was undeniably complicated.
"Would you ever grow tired of ?" He had long wanted to ask this and now saw the perfect opportunity.
He wanted to know what Ji Yu truly felt.
Ji Yu was montarily bewildered, unsure of what he ant.
"What do you an?"
"I an, if I had sothing I had to keep from you for a while, would you be mad at for it?" He was deeply anxious that Ji Yu would imdiately talk about leaving.
Ji Yu pondered for a mont. Since Gu Qixiao had already said he wouldn’t be angry, she refrained from taking this issue too seriously.
"No, I can’t imagine being angry about sothing like that."
Gu Qixiao knew she was likely just agreeing because of what he’d said earlier and didn’t feel reassured at all. Still, he considered it a temporary reprieve.
"The day such a thing happens, you won’t be saying that."
"How could I not? Whatever I say, I stick to it." She was firm in her belief.
Besides, given the current circumstances, didn’t he understand?
"I think you’re overthinking. You won’t do sothing like that, and there’s no need to worry. If that day cos, neither of us may be able to control it."
She understood her own temper well.
