"Yu, let’s step outside for now. It seems they need so ti to sort things out here." Gu Qixiao gave her a look, clearly hoping to avoid them for the ti being.
It would be difficult for them to act openly with others around, and only once they left would their true intentions co to light.
As expected, after they stepped outside, the expressions on the faces of the others subtly shifted.
"What’s going on? Weren’t we told there’d be no one else here? If soone has seen our faces and it causes trouble later, what are we supposed to do?"
"Then we won’t act today. It’s not like this matter can’t wait," Xia Chuanhe said indifferently.
In truth, this issue required ti to resolve properly.
"Then hasn’t this trip been a complete waste of ti?"
Ji Yu hid behind the door, observing everything in front of her. Listening to their conversation, she realized they clearly harbored bad intentions.
"Judging by their deanor, they don’t seem to be doctors. They’re probably preparing for sothing shady," Gu Qixiao voiced his concern about what was happening inside.
Moreover, Mr. Ji had just stepped out and would likely return soon.
If he ran into these people, there’s no telling what might happen. To ensure everyone’s safety, this situation couldn’t be allowed to continue.
"I’ll arrange for the bodyguards to capture them. Wait here for for a mont." Gu Qixiao understood the urgency of the situation and knew that if it wasn’t dealt with quickly, bigger trouble would inevitably ensue.
Ji Yu couldn’t shake the feeling that these people looked familiar—as if she had seen them sowhere before.
But no matter how hard she tried to rember, she couldn’t pinpoint exactly where.
When the bodyguards arrived, Gu Qixiao was planning to escort Ji Yu back.
However, in the blink of an eye, Ji Yu was gone.
Ji Yu faced the man before her, her expression cold and distant.
"Everything earlier was orchestrated by you, wasn’t it? You deliberately had us suspect you, scheming to distract Gu Qixiao so you could capture ."
"Seems Yu is quite sharp—able to see through my intentions." He didn’t bother denying it, his hand coming to rest on her cheek.
"Initially, I’d hoped to coexist peacefully with you. But you rejected , so I have no choice but to monopolize you." His tone was firm, his conviction that they were the perfect match unwavering.
"Look at your beautiful little face—why is it always so icy? Wouldn’t it be better if you smiled at ?"
His obsession was relentless.
Ji Yu, naturally, had no kind words for him. She detested his actions and couldn’t have felt more repulsed.
"Xia Chuanhe, I have nothing to do with you. Everything you’re imagining is just in your mind. Haven’t you realized this yet?"
Their relationship was as fragile as glass—shattering with the slightest touch.
"Yu, your feelings toward don’t matter. The only thing that matters is that I like you. Do you think you have the ability to escape from ?"
From the beginning, he had chosen to step in only because he knew Ji Yu had invited him.
"Ordinarily, I wouldn’t concern myself with such affairs; but because it was your mother, I intervened. And now you treat so cold... isn’t that a bit heartless?"
He seed genuinely disappointed, even accusing Ji Yu of being overly indifferent.
"Had you behaved differently, perhaps you and I could have been friends. After all, you saved my mother, and I owe you that favor. But I refuse to sacrifice the rest of my happiness to repay you."
She already had soone she loved, and that was undeniable. Despite this, he kept trying to fill the void with excuses.
"Yu, I suggest you think this through carefully. I’m not soone who enjoys forcing others against their will."
He simply liked keeping the things he adored close to him.
His gaze settled on her slightly rounded belly, and displeasure colored his face.
"Don’t you even know how to respect yourself a little? Getting pregnant with his child so quickly—what if he doesn’t give you a proper wedding? Then what? Wouldn’t it be better to get rid of this child and choose instead?"
His hand lightly brushed over her stomach, as if he’d already decided how to deal with the child.
"Xia Chuanhe, you’re insane. This baby is my flesh and blood—I could never take its life. And even if this child has no father, I will raise them well on my own. I don’t need a partner just for convenience’s sake."
Her relationship with Gu Qixiao had been born of love. If there hadn’t been love between them, there wouldn’t have been a bond to tie them together—and the child wasn’t ant to act as a bridge between them either.
"Yu, even now, you’re still putting on a tough front? If it weren’t for the child, would you even be acting this way? Look at how tense you are," he said, clearly dissatisfied with her response.
"You only need to stay by my side to have children."
For that reason, this child could not be kept.
If left, it would only serve as an emotional tether for her.
Ji Yu stared at the man in front of her, gritting her teeth in rage but utterly powerless.
"What is it you’re trying to do? What is it you want? Just tell and let go! Why won’t you let go? What’s so good about that you’re this obsessed?"
The two of them hadn’t even t often.
Surely his obsession couldn’t simply stem from her face?
"Love is a feeling; it doesn’t depend on particular traits. But whenever I see you, I can’t change my mind," he said, his voice exceptionally earnest and heartfelt. But Ji Yu didn’t believe a word of it.
"Don’t you find what you’re saying absurd? We’ve only t a few tis, and even if we interacted before, we were never close—yet you claim you love ."
"Yu, you clearly don’t understand the word ’crush.’" Although reluctant to admit it, he had harbored feelings for her since their school days.
The emotions back then had been so pure, and the image of her had stuck with him ever since.
"I don’t think there’s anything about worth crushing on. Besides, when I say sothing, I an it—I turned you down, and I ant it."
Their incompatibility was undeniable.
Besides, she already loved soone else. If she continued entangling herself with him now, wouldn’t that make her a heartless woman?
"I don’t mind if you love soone else, but I do mind if you can’t stay by my side."
