Everyone has sothing they’re afraid of losing, but what Gu Qixiao fears is her leaving him.
"I’m fine, you don’t need to worry about ." Her situation wasn’t as bad as they imagined. It was just that she’d been encountering such incidents repeatedly lately, leaving her temporarily overwheld.
"Yu, you really shouldn’t force yourself. If there’s anything uncomfortable, just say it. Xiao is here with you anyway, so please don’t hide anything."
Mr. Gu had always been very approving of this daughter-in-law.
He had rushed over as soon as he learned of her injury.
"I understand." Ji Yu appeared sowhat restrained in front of the elder.
"Dad, Yu’s condition has stabilized, but I still feel guilty about the earlier events. I never expected Song Xuan’s affairs to affect Yu like this."
Song Xuan’s audacity this ti was beyond imagination. Her confident and unrelenting attitude made it hard to fathom where she got this kind of assurance.
"I have so things I want to discuss with you. Co outside with for a mont." Mr. Gu had co specifically for this matter.
Originally, the matter of repaying a favor was supposed to be a good thing, but now it had devolved into this. Perhaps it was better to cut off such ties altogether.
"So, tell , what exactly happened between you two in the past that made that girl so infatuated with you?"
"Dad, I only did what I should have done. I didn’t have any inappropriate relationship with her."
In his view, all the concern was rely repaynt for kindness.
Besides, he hadn’t done anything improper.
"I only cared about her health and the state of her face. There was nothing overly ambiguous."
He had always thought of Song Xuan as a younger sister.
But this "little sister" seed different from what he had imagined.
"I honestly can’t understand her mindset. Didn’t she ever consider my feelings when she did this?"
He was very rational about this matter, thinking there was no need to make things overly complicated.
Yet he hadn’t expected the situation to turn out so disastrous in the end.
"Even though you didn’t technically do anything wrong, how could you not consider whether her thoughts were the sa as yours? Look at the ss this has caused now."
Mr. Gu had previously warned Gu Qixiao, but he hadn’t taken it seriously.
"Look at what’s happened now—did it never cross your mind that this might be your fault? Maybe this issue with repaying kindness was flawed from the very beginning."
"In your ti together, she subconsciously assud you liked her."
At that ti in her situation, having soone care for her so attentively was incredibly rare.
"You oversimplified things, which led to this misunderstanding. It gave her the wrong impression about your feelings."
There was really no need for these complications.
"I just don’t know what I can do to make her believe I don’t have feelings for her."
He had made his position abundantly clear before, but she believed he was lying to her.
"What’s the use of explaining verbally? You need to take concrete actions. Even if you push her away, any lingering connection between the two of you will make her think you’re still angry at her."
In her eyes, such lingering ties were indistinguishable from unfinished business.
Such entanglents would only drag people deeper and deeper.
Gu Qixiao didn’t refute these words.
Lately, he had been reflecting on whether his overly kind behavior in the past had caused Song Xuan to develop such thoughts.
"Staying calm is more important than anything else. Stop overthinking it. Yu will be your future wife. If you dare to hurt her, I’ll be the first one to break your legs."
Gu Qixiao couldn’t bear the thought of Ji Yu being hurt—why would he ever bully her?
"I know exactly how important she is to , and I would never hurt her."
Finding soone like her in the vast crowd was extrely rare. Naturally, he had to treasure her. When you have soone you love, you should hold onto her tightly to avoid leaving regrets later.
Mr. Gu said no more, only hoping that he would stop getting involved in Song Xuan’s matters, as this would only make their relationship more complicated.
"How could I not get involved? She hurt Yu this ti. If I just let it go, what kind of man would I be?"
When he talked about the matter, his expression was grim—clearly, he intended to pursue it further.
"When she made this decision, she’d already ceased to be the sister of the person who saved my life."
The debt of gratitude had long been repaid. Allowing her to keep her life was the final rcy he’d extend to her.
"Since you’ve already made up your mind, I won’t say more. Just don’t dwell on these matters going forward."
Sotis, things were better left alone. Otherwise, they would only hurt oneself and those close by.
Ji Yu didn’t know what they had discussed but was very aware that it must have been about this incident.
So when he returned, she couldn’t hold back and asked for clarification.
"Yu, if you have any opinions on this matter, you can tell anyti. I can take you along to confront her."
"Honestly, I still don’t understand her feelings. Are love matters really that important? Important enough for her to abandon all benefits and try to kill ?" Ji Yu was slightly troubled.
Matters of the heart shouldn’t be so complicated, nor should they make everyone feel embarrassed.
"She probably doesn’t understand the nature of our relationship."
She stubbornly believed that what she thought in her heart was correct. If that’s the case, let her keep thinking what she wants, and they would cut off ties for good.
"Yu, no matter what, this whole incident is my fault. If I had noticed things earlier, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt."
He wanted Ji Yu to recover peacefully and stop worrying about these matters.
"But these things are important to ." She had been mulling over it endlessly, unable to co to terms with what had happened.
"I know. So, I’ll handle this with you. Once you’re feeling better, we’ll address it together, okay?"
No matter what Ji Yu said, he was determined to act.
Ji Yu might not understand why anyone could place such importance on matters of the heart, but he understood it all too well—because he was that kind of person.
"Got it. You need to get so rest too. You didn’t sleep at all last night, so you should at least take a nap today." Ji Yu was worried about his physical condition.
