But things have already reached this point—how can it be explained clearly with just a few words?
"I don’t need you to explain clearly; you just need to say it outright."
From the very beginning, she had already foreseen all possible outcos, so hearing this didn’t co as a shock.
But things sohow seed a little different from what Ji Yu had imagined.
"I never intended to have any kind of relationship with Song Xuan, nor do I understand why you’d think this way."
Even while explaining, he thought it was absurd.
Moreover, after all this ti spent together, shouldn’t Ji Yu have already felt his affection for her?
Things like this might appear a bit ridiculous.
Yet Ji Yu persisted with her own stance, "I got it."
Still showing no intention of agreeing.
The al ended up being sowhat tasteless.
It completely failed to achieve what Gu Qixiao had hoped.
"What do you an?" He still wanted to understand Ji Yu’s true thoughts.
Ji Yu, helpless and equally confused about the situation, replied, "My stance remains what it was. Haven’t you noticed that I don’t have even the slightest bit of affection for you?"
Such an affection was simply too heavy for her.
Besides, their understanding of each other might be deeper than he realized.
Just thinking about their failed marriage made Ji Yu intent on letting go first and foremost.
"I couldn’t possibly fall for soone who’s just picking up the pieces. And to be honest, your behavior makes suspect you might have other motives."
If there were other motives, it would be best to sort them out quickly.
Ji Yu’s attitude was crystal clear, but Gu Qixiao thought Ji Yu was being irrational. "Do you think I’m joking with you? My feelings are so obvious—even other people can sense them. Why are you the only one who can’t?"
"Please let go." Ji Yu stared coldly at Gu Qixiao, as if he were behaving unreasonably.
Under that gaze, Gu Qixiao finally had no choice but to let go.
The extent of his unwillingness was sothing only he could understand.
After leaving, Ji Yu didn’t feel much happier. She decided to invite Feng Qinqin out for so distraction.
"President Ji, what brought you to drag out so late in the day? Unless you’re reconciling with your ex-husband or sothing monuntal, I wouldn’t even consider listening."
Her tone had a touch of teasing, but unexpectedly Ji Yu didn’t refute it.
"Wait a minute, give a mont to process this—what did I just say?"
She looked at Ji Yu incredulously, her eyes filled with shock.
Ji Yu quickly held her down. "Don’t overthink it; it’s not about reconciliation between the two of us, so just drop it."
Even she wasn’t sure how to explain it. "It’s just that Gu Qixiao has been acting a bit strange lately. Tonight, he even dragged out for dinner. I’m annoyed and figured I’d talk it over with you."
She had never spoken about Gu Qixiao’s odd behavior before, so Feng Qinqin naturally found it intriguing.
"Is that true? Spill—what’s this all about? Tell everything."
Her eyes were filled with curiosity, but more than that, she wanted to know what sort of bizarre moves Gu Qixiao had been pulling to make Ji Yu speak this way.
"He’s been sending roses every single day, rain or shine—no matter what I say or do, it’s always the sa."
When recounting this, her expression showed so hesitation. "His recent behavior feels like he’s beco a completely different person. I don’t even know how to describe him."
Whenever she thought of Gu Qixiao, Ji Yu couldn’t help but complain.
"Your ex-husband really is sothing else." Feng Qinqin also found it ridiculous, especially after no contact for three years, for him now to act deeply in love.
"So what’s up with him and that Song Xuan?"
This topic was important too, and she appeared conflicted when discussing it. "He says Song Xuan is like his sister, but who calls their ’sister’ that way?"
Their relationship clearly felt abnormal.
Yet so things seed true.
"Don’t bother fretting over this. I always think this man’s brain might be wired wrong. Even if Song Xuan has nothing to do with him, you still can’t end up with him."
Feng Qinqin offered her advice earnestly.
Especially given that no matter the truth of his words, Song Xuan’s intentions seed undeniable.
The things she’d said before had already made Song Xuan’s possessiveness over Gu Qixiao evident.
"I can’t tell if Gu Qixiao genuinely likes you. But having soone like that as his good ’sister’—who wouldn’t suffer?"
Feng Qinqin’s disdain for Gu Qixiao was clear, and she felt that since he’d already given up back then, there was no need for him to try again now.
"Yuyu, please, do not turn back now. Good horses don’t revisit old paths, and with the way Gu Qixiao is, having a child with him would turn you stupid."
She spoke earnestly, hoping Ji Yu would swiftly steer clear of this man.
Ji Yu touched her stomach with so guilt, honestly having intended to keep this matter a secret from everyone. Now, it seed like everyone knew—everyone except Feng Qinqin perhaps.
"Do you really think that way?"
"Of course! Yuyu, think about it: Gu Qixiao really only has good looks. His intelligence just doesn’t cut it." Feng Qinqin’s disdain for Gu Qixiao was obvious, and recalling his past behavior made her annoyance impossible to conceal.
"It’s not that extre, is it?" Ji Yu suddenly felt a twinge of concern for the child inside her, fearing that if it really resembled Gu Qixiao, it might indeed lack brains.
Thinking about the child’s possible situation made Ji Yu’s head spin.
Feng Qinqin, unaware of Ji Yu’s pregnancy, reached out to pat Ji Yu’s belly, "Sis, you’ve never seen it. I knew another friend once who had a child with soone not so bright, and the kid grew up to be sweet but clueless."
So of these traits do tend to be inherited.
For a mont, Ji Yu had no idea what to say.
"But I know for sure you wouldn’t agree to Gu Qixiao’s proposal. You’re smart—you won’t foolishly jump back into the fire twice."
Feng Qinqin had great faith in Ji Yu.
Ji Yu swallowed back her secret about the child, figuring she’d find a better day to bring it up later.
Who knows what might happen afterward?
"Say, what if I had a child with Gu Qixiao—should we get back together?"
"What? There’s already a child? Then, for the sake of the kid, you might have to reconsider. Though, I’ll admit Gu Qixiao is hard to deal with."
Feng Qinqin rembered so unpleasant mories.
Sharing them with Ji Yu seed to only further their shared grievances toward Gu Qixiao.
"The last ti he ca to our house to apologize, his attitude wasn’t great either. He acted as if we owed him sothing—just rembering it now makes annoyed."
