In Gu Qixiao’s heart, no matter what Ji Yu did, she was always the person he loved most.
Ji Yu hadn’t expected that simply having a al with Xia Chuanhe would lead to intimate photos being taken.
But for her, this wasn’t a big deal.
When she saw Gu Qixiao’s completely trusting gaze without a hint of suspicion, she suddenly felt that the matter between them truly needed a resolution.
"Gu Qixiao, why don’t we et the parents tomorrow?"
Even if it gets awkward, the two of them could face it together.
Gu Qixiao was a little surprised when he heard her suggestion.
"Yu, I don’t an to pressure you into eting the parents. If you feel uncomfortable, we can wait and do it later."
Originally, these matters weren’t anything serious.
But Ji Yu was very earnest.
"I trust in the feelings between us and believe we can make it to the end, so let’s et the parents this ti."
Truth be told, they were no longer the sa as before.
"Gu Qixiao, I sincerely appreciate how you’ve treated . You’ve made realize that genuine love still exists in the world. That’s why I’m willing to et the parents now. It’s sothing I truly want to do myself."
She didn’t feel forced at all.
"At first, I thought you’d surely misunderstand when you saw the photo, but now, your reactions have completely surprised . They made realize how well we already understand each other."
The two of them understood each other’s thoughts better than anyone.
Song Xuan probably never imagined that her photo would actually strengthen their relationship, making them realize each other’s importance.
Ji Yu was, in fact, quite picky when it ca to matters of love, but for so reason, after eting Gu Qixiao, it seed like those concerns beca insignificant.
"Our eting was an accident, being together now is an accident, but the outco between us will not be an accident."
This was a result they had both carefully prepared for over a long ti.
Gu Qixiao was deeply moved in his heart.
It was rare for him to show such an emotional reaction.
"Yu, I really don’t know what to say."
Perhaps when one is overwheld, it becos hard to put feelings into words.
Ji Yu, on the other hand, felt that such matters were perfectly natural, and there was no need to dwell on irrelevant things.
"Anyway, we’ve been together for quite so ti now. There’s really no need to worry about too many other factors."
It’s enough to know they are a perfect match for each other.
But Ji Yu still needed to prepare properly, so they decided to et the parents three days later.
When Gu Qixiao returned ho, his smile was so wide it seed like it could stretch to the back of his head.
"What’s the matter? Did sothing happen to make you so happy?" Mr. Gu was seeing such an expression on his son’s face for the first ti. Even though his son wasn’t soone who completely hid his emotions, he had never seen him this delighted.
"Dad, three days from now, I hope you’ll et the person I love and also accept our relationship."
He said this with eyes full of light.
Mr. Gu rarely encountered such monts, but seeing his son this joyful had unexpectedly brought him so happiness too.
"You’re quite sothing, doing all this. Still, I’m glad you’ve found soone you love." He wasn’t resistant to the idea of his son having soone special in his life and even hoped they would truly make it together.
"I know you didn’t approve of the match I arranged for you before. This ti, I’ll see how good your chosen partner really is." He couldn’t help wanting to compare, though in his heart, he genuinely hoped Ji Yu could beco his daughter-in-law.
"Dad, trust . She’s an amazing person—so incredible that you’ll understand when you et her."
Even though Ji Yu occasionally seed sowhat hot-tempered, deep down, she was the gentlest person.
"Alright, alright. You know, every ti you ntion this girl you love, your eyes light up. Seeing the confidence in your words, how could I not trust you?" He trusted his son’s judgnt.
Still, he was curious—what kind of girl could have such an allure, enough to change his son in this way?
"By the way, you know what she likes, don’t you? So I can prepare sothing ahead of ti and avoid any awkward situations."
"We’ve got plenty of jewelry at ho, haven’t we? Girls generally like those kinds of things. Yu doesn’t lack for anything." He still seed to have these details in mind.
"Looks like you’ve already picked out gifts for your future wife. But I do hope you’ll explain things to clearly afterward."
He wanted to know when they had officially started dating.
"As for Song Xuan—although I don’t want to interfere too much in your relationship, emotional debts are always hard to repay. Trying to resolve the matter of her life-saving act won’t be easy."
After all, that was a favor tied to the value of a life.
Repaying that debt wouldn’t be simple.
Gu Qixiao understood this, but sotis it wasn’t possible to accept such things easily.
"I plan to handle this situation more passively. Providing her with a good life can count as repaynt, but since she continues to demand more, I can only separate myself from her for now."
Their relationship was devoid of any romantic feelings, but forcing them together would just make both of them suffer.
"My feelings for her aren’t romantic at all—we’re more like siblings."
Or perhaps not even siblings—just remnants of gratitude for saving his life, which had once fostered a slight fondness that had now entirely disappeared.
"I never expected the things she said then, and her actions have thoroughly crossed my boundaries. The person I love could never live together with soone like her. I won’t allow her to remain in my life anymore."
Gu Qixiao was unwavering in his stance, and once he’d spoken, he wouldn’t let her continue with such hopes.
"Even though that’s how you feel, she surely still harbors hopes of being with you. With those expectations, she may do increasingly inappropriate things. It’s better if you clarify things with her."
Many unnecessary complications arise from such misunderstandings.
