"No matter what you’ve been through before, I would never let you down."
He spoke with a very solemn expression.
Ji Yu knew that, sooner or later, this conversation would lead to the topic of her ex-husband.
Their relationship was truly one of those entanglents that was hard to sever and even harder to untangle.
But it didn’t seem all that important anymore.
Judging by his current attitude, he might even be happier once he knew about it.
"Gu Qixiao, sotis I honestly feel helpless. The way you act makes feel like I owe you a lot." She was not used to feeling indebted to anyone else.
Just like now.
She always subconsciously believed she owed him sothing.
"When have you ever owed anything? As long as I still have a place in your heart, then you’ll never owe ." Gu Qixiao didn’t care about who gave more. As long as they were still together, that’s all that mattered.
And wasn’t their current situation just fine?
He had the person he adored most, and Ji Yu could bask in his love and care.
Ji Yu suddenly found that what he said might make so sense.
Things were so complicated that she decided to simply stop overthinking them.
"There’s an auction coming up in a while. Do you want to check it out?" He was well aware that Ji Yu had been particularly relaxed at ho lately.
Ji Yu gave it so thought. She’d admittedly been lounging at ho for a little too long, so after hesitating for a mont, she agreed.
"There are going to be so spectacular jewelry pieces at this auction. If there’s anything you like, I can buy it for you." He never hesitated when it ca to giving gifts.
To him, such gestures were the most natural thing to do.
Ji Yu didn’t know how to respond.
Such actions really could leave one at a bit of a loss.
"I can pay for the things I like myself. I have more than enough money."
"Your money will always be yours, but my money is yours to spend as you please." Gu Qixiao prided himself on his ability to earn, so he had no qualms about spoiling her with it.
Ji Yu once again reevaluated his shalessly romantic nature.
Madam Ji, upon hearing Gu Qixiao’s statent, grew more and more satisfied with him.
She had always been pleased with this son-in-law, and after hearing how much he doted on Ji Yu, she was even happier.
"Yu, you two should go out and spend more ti together when you have a chance. There’s not much fun just staying at ho." Her matchmaking intentions were all too obvious, and Ji Yu couldn’t help but massage her temples.
"Mom, your daughter is still pregnant, you know. Do you really want to be running around?"
"Isn’t Gu here to take care of you?" Madam Ji trusted Gu Qixiao completely and believed he was capable of looking after Ji Yu.
Ji Yu didn’t even know how to respond to this.
Still, Gu Qixiao had indeed succeeded in fully integrating himself into her family.
As they headed out, Ji Yu couldn’t help but tease him, "Since when did you get along so well with my family?"
"As long as I treat you well, they’ll naturally find likable. That’s why our relationship is as solid as it is." He understood this perfectly, and thus he would never disappoint her.
"Why has your sweet talk improved so much lately?" Ji Yu was curious if he had recently been practicing, because how could he be so skilled at this all of a sudden?
"I actually looked up so materials and studied." He treated everything seriously, and anything concerning the person he loved the most was even more so.
However, their conversation was soon interrupted by a phone call.
"President Gu, there’s a situation with Miss Song. It seems rather serious—you might want to co over and take a look." Assistant Li could only sigh at the girl in front of him.
How could such a good-looking young woman create so much trouble?
"I’ve told you many tis not to report her affairs to . Whatever she does, just ensure her safety—that’s enough."
He had long since stopped caring about Song Xuan’s issues.
Moreover, whether or not she truly had amnesia was still an open question.
The things she’d done before remained vivid in his mory.
"But this ti, there does seem to be so risk to her life, and she’s insisting on seeing you."
Gu Qixiao raised his brow. "So, she’s done pretending to have amnesia?"
The amnesia act had failed to catch Gu Qixiao’s attention entirely.
Song Xuan understood very well that Ji Yu was the most critical factor. As long as Ji Yu was out of the picture, their relationship would surely progress rapidly, leaving no room for distractions.
"Xiao, co back and see , please. I really think I’m dying—I don’t even know what’s wrong with ." She feigned a breakdown, as though she might collapse any mont now.
Ji Yu, hearing this, was quite curious about what exactly was going on.
"Since her condition seems bad, why don’t we go back and check on her?"
To Ji Yu, soone so utterly powerless posed no threat at all, especially if they had to resort to such petty tricks.
Gu Qixiao had been hesitating, but upon hearing her suggestion, he agreed to take her along.
Throughout the ordeal, Ji Yu never asked what exactly had happened. In her heart, she knew it was just the other party’s desperate ploy to see Gu Qixiao.
"Gu Qixiao, there’s no need to keep such a distance from her. In her eyes, you’ve already beco her possession. By suddenly pulling away, you’re practically ensuring she’ll have a ltdown."
And wasn’t that the truth? After all the ti they’d spent together, and the way he treated her before, she believed fate had tied them.
Song Xuan could never have imagined that the two of them would be back together.
"Yu, I never had any intention of keeping her by my side, and maintaining distance between us is the right thing to do."
He felt absolutely no romantic feelings for Song Xuan. Even the sliver of sibling-like affection he once had for her had been completely worn away.
This was sothing that could never revive.
"There’s truly no emotional connection between us."
Gu Qixiao had always been a cold person, but he believed he’d repaid her kindness sufficiently.
"I’ve given her so much, yet she remains so greedy. What more can I do?"
He sounded exasperated and was clearly numb to the situation.
Ji Yu suddenly found his deanor oddly amusing.
"What you consider inconsequential becos concrete reality in the eyes of others."
Song Xuan had long misinterpreted their relationship.
"During your ti together, she instinctively regarded you as her anchor, hoping to marry you and enjoy that status forever."
People are prone to greed.
But in her case, it was far too obvious.
