"I don’t know why you’re so hung up on this matter, but coming to won’t do you any good. If you really want to win him over, you should try to move his heart."
Isn’t that just how things are?
"What do you an?" She seed sowhat incredulous.
In her impression, Ji Yu should stubbornly love Gu Qixiao, otherwise it would be easy for others to take him away. But now, Ji Yu said she could let her compete as she wished.
"I knew you don’t like Gu Qixiao at all. You’re just pretending to."
"Suit yourself." Ji Yu wasn’t in the mood to refute these things anymore. There were so words that were better left unsaid.
"You..."
Her casual attitude did arouse envy. She didn’t know what to say to Ji Yu, but judging from Ji Yu’s expression, it was indeed difficult to discern what she truly thought.
"I’ve said before, what’s mine will never run away. The person I like won’t betray either. So, what you’re saying holds no aning for ." She had that confidence and wasn’t afraid of what might co. No matter how much they said, they wouldn’t be able to take Gu Qixiao.
"I have other matters to deal with, and I don’t have the patience to keep talking to you about this. If there’s a similar issue in the future, don’t co to again." She didn’t want to keep getting tangled up with these people.
After finishing, Ji Yu turned and left, but didn’t notice the malice in the other’s eyes.
However, it was evident that even if this matter continued in such a direction, there wouldn’t be a good outco.
When she told Gu Qixiao about it, Gu Qixiao noticeably didn’t believe her. But on second thought, such words did sound like sothing Ji Yu would say.
"Yu’s aning is obvious, isn’t it? She doesn’t want to keep entangled with you over this matter. I don’t like you, and she’s not afraid of you coming to ."
His feelings for Ji Yu were solid enough that none of these matters would be an issue.
He looked at the person before him, calm and unwavering. "The relationship between Yu and doesn’t need anyone else ddling. I love her, and there’s no doubt about that."
He had made himself clear from the start and had no fear of anyone questioning it.
"That’s not what I ant. Xiao, listen to . I’ve never intended to compete with anyone for you. I just hope you understand that my feelings for you have never changed. Even if I have certain ntal issues, in my mories I have always loved you."
She spoke with a certain confidence.
Gu Qixiao sighed, "You’re too obsessive. Things between us shouldn’t have co to this. Besides, the things you’ve done before were all fantasies. There’s a chance that the one you love isn’t even ."
The mories she ntioned had never happened for him, so he couldn’t understand how she could fall in love with soone through re imagination. Didn’t such feelings drive her crazy?
"I won’t say more about what you’ve done. I just hope that you’ll calm down in the future. The collaboration between our families isn’t sothing that can be arbitrarily dissolved."
Overthinking just drags the family down—so went the lesson Gu Qixiao imparted to her.
Whether or not she truly heeded his words remained unclear, but the next day she indeed didn’t co looking for him.
When Gu Qixiao went to find Ji Yu, he deliberately brought up this matter. "I don’t believe her claims that you don’t like ."
His confidence regarding this matter remained intact.
Ji Yu couldn’t help but chuckle. "You really are sothing."
She had always known this wasn’t an easy problem to resolve, but seeing Gu Qixiao like this, it seed as if none of it mattered anymore.
"I don’t want you to feel burdened by this." She sighed, deciding not to involve herself in matters concerning Ling Xia anymore.
The two of them were deep in affection on their side, while Ling Xia, on the other hand, was consud by fear. "Dad, I don’t know why Gu Qixiao is behaving this way. Do you think I did sothing wrong?"
"What nonsense are you saying?" Ling Baiqian cherished his only daughter dearly, so there was no way he’d watch her wallow in misery.
Thus, he ca up with an idea.
When Gu Qixiao saw him, he showed so surprise. "You’re inviting to dinner?"
To be honest, Gu Qixiao didn’t believe it at all and even thought the other party most definitely had ulterior motives.
"You’re inviting to dinner now, and you think I’ll believe you have no other agenda?"
The matter clearly held issues, so Gu Qixiao trusted none of his words.
Moreover, given their prior extre behavior, even Zhan Yezhou doubted they’d have any good strategies this ti.
As expected, these things indeed carried ulterior motives.
Ling Baiqian’s expression grew a bit awkward. "How could I possibly have any vile intentions?"
Although he did harbor such thoughts, now was certainly not the ti to admit it. If he confessed, how could the other party agree to co?
"Gu, you don’t need to see as such a bad person. We’ve known each other for so long, and I don’t want our families’ relationship to turn sour. That’s why I ca up with this opportunity to reconcile. Don’t take it too far—you agree, don’t you?"
His gaze clearly carried undertones of other intent.
But Gu Qixiao feigned indifference. "I have other things to attend to this afternoon; let’s discuss dinner another ti. Or, you can talk to my dad about it—I’m sure he’d be more than willing to have a proper conversation with you."
If these matters could have been resolved easily, they wouldn’t have turned out this way.
Ling Baiqian’s expression grew even more embarrassed, yet he had no way to explain himself.
He could only watch as the other left with no intention of staying.
But he still had other approaches. Although Mr. Gu didn’t fully understand these matters, he didn’t want his child to be burdened by them either.
"Your birthday banquet is coming up soon. I’ll bring him along to apologize to you. We were indeed at fault in this matter." He smiled and said.
This finally prompted Ling Baiqian to nod in agreent. "Alright, then it’s settled. Don’t back out at the last mont."
The arrangent was temporarily decided, but what Ling Baiqian didn’t expect was that Gu Qixiao would bring Ji Yu along with him. His face darkened imdiately upon seeing them.
"And this young lady is?"
"My future wife." Gu Qixiao introduced her without the slightest hesitation, making it clear how serious he was.
Ling Baiqian wanted to throw them out, but ultimately refrained due to the situation at hand. "So, she’s your fiancée. Gu, are you hiding things a bit too well?"
