Even Ji Yu had to admit that this statent was indeed correct, but it wasn’t suitable for the two of them.
"What you’re saying works for people who are open with each other, but we both have secrets, so why bother talking about this?"
After speaking, Ji Yu turned around and left while Gu Qixiao was still stunned, without even giving him a chance to explain.
She couldn’t figure out who to consult, so she simply called Feng Qinqin to a restaurant intending to talk about the matter in detail.
"Yuyu, have you changed recently? Isn’t going to the bar fun anymore?"
Recently, Feng Qinqin had been enjoying herself at the bar and now couldn’t resist trying to take Ji Yu along to join the fun.
Ji Yu shook her head. "This has nothing to do with it. Look at —do I look like I’m in the mood for sothing like that?"
She had already made herself clear before.
Hearing this, Feng Qinqin beca even more puzzled. "Then why aren’t you going to the bar?"
"Because I’m pregnant."
Ji Yu was ready to state the fact outright; she couldn’t keep hiding it from Feng Qinqin. Sooner or later, the truth would co out, so it was better to disclose it proactively.
"Ah, it’s just pregnancy; I thought it was sothing major..."
"Wait, what did you just say happened to you?"
At first, Feng Qinqin didn’t react and continued rambling, but as she reached the end of her sentence, she suddenly realized sothing felt off.
She stared at Ji Yu in disbelief, as if seeing sothing utterly bizarre.
"You heard correctly—I really am pregnant. I actually intended to tell you this earlier, but I was worried you might not take it well. Anyway, today I need to discuss sothing with you."
This ti, Feng Qinqin wasn’t just shocked—she was completely at a loss.
"You an you’ve been keeping your pregnancy a secret from only ? I was just talking about taking you to a bar—I must really be out of my mind."
Actually, Ji Yu had been showing so unmistakable signs over this period. It’s just that Feng Qinqin hadn’t considered that possibility until now, which kept her from noticing the matter regarding the child.
"Now that you ntion it, I feel this isn’t simple. Are you about to tell the child belongs to your ex-husband?"
She felt numbed toward this sort of thing.
And was still unsure why it had co to this.
Ji Yu rubbed her temples. "You guessed right—the child is indeed his. Also, today I wanted to talk to you about this because there’s sothing I suspect, but I can’t be certain of it."
She couldn’t shake off what Tang Xin had ntioned earlier, but for now, she had no way of resolving it.
"If you really have suspicions, why not go into detail? I can help you brainstorm. But as for the child, you should think carefully—I’ve always believed that this Gu Qixiao isn’t a good person."
The previous incidents had left a deep impression on her, and this ti she hoped Ji Yu could make a clear-headed decision.
"Once this child is linked to the Gu family, it’ll be impossible to sever ties entirely, no matter how tangled and chaotic things get between you and Gu Qixiao."
This matter couldn’t afford even the slightest misstep.
Ji Yu understood the logic, leaning against the nearby sofa with so irritation. "I get that too, but the child is innocent in all this."
She wasn’t planning on discussing the matter about the child. "I suspect Gu Qixiao might know about what happened before, but his behavior doesn’t really seem like it."
"Why do you have such suspicions, then?"
Feng Qinqin couldn’t make sense of it either. If Gu Qixiao truly knew, how could he act so indifferent?
"Today, I went to see Tang Xin, and she said this matter is connected to the Gu family. Soone like her couldn’t possibly know things about the Gu family unless it were true."
Ji Yu had originally wanted to handle this matter carefully, but thinking it through, the only Gu family mber currently active around her was Gu Qixiao.
"Why would he go through so much effort just to ss with you? Isn’t he pursuing you? How could he possibly do sothing like this?"
"But he doesn’t mind the child." Ji Yu’s comnt on this matter essentially centered all suspicions on one point.
Anyone observing would find it odd.
No normal person would want to take on soone else’s child, and besides, didn’t Gu Qixiao know about the past?
"His relationship with Song Xuan is also complicated. I have no idea what’s going on between them, but it’s clear that Gu Qixiao doesn’t entirely disregard Song Xuan either."
If that’s the case, why aren’t the two of them together?
This had always been a lingering mystery.
For a mont, Feng Qinqin also felt doubtful. "Do you think it’s possible that he’s intentionally setting things up—to play the hero rescuing the damsel in distress, making you think differently about him, and then taking away the child?"
Thinking along those lines left both of them feeling chills.
Previously, they might have said Gu Qixiao wasn’t that clever, but looking at the current situation, how could he not be?
The entire scenario seed ticulously orchestrated.
Anyone going through sothing like this would be overwheld.
Ji Yu couldn’t help but grow increasingly suspicious of Gu Qixiao. "Anyway, I think sothing’s off about him. It’s best if I don’t interact with him anymore."
She feared there might be more incidents later.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qinqin wholeheartedly agreed. "If you really stay involved with a guy like him, it’d be terrifying. Today he might sche against your child; tomorrow who knows, he might take your kidney."
Ji Yu paused speechlessly for a few monts, but eventually nodded. "Your words may sound crude, but they’re not wrong. He might very well take away and steal my kidney soday."
The two reached a consensus this ti, deciding not to dwell on Gu Qixiao any longer.
Poor Gu Qixiao—he had no idea he had been blacklisted and outright ignored by Ji Yu.
"Did you offend her?"
Assistant Li looked baffled as he was questioned. "No, absolutely not. At the ti, Doctor Ji had even chatted with Miss Song for a bit. She seed happy afterward, so there’s absolutely no problem."
He firmly believed this, but Gu Qixiao still felt sothing was amiss.
"You say there’s no problem—then why is Ji Yu acting so indifferent toward and even outright blocking ?"
Gu Qixiao couldn’t tolerate such behavior.
However, he hadn’t been able to figure out the reason all along, leaving him unsure of what to say.
Assistant Li simply found this matter exceedingly complicated. "If you truly want to know the reason, why not ask her directly? You might find out what’s going on then."
Very soon, though, Gu Qixiao discovered that Ji Yu was keeping her distance from him but was unusually close to Lu Xingchen—even going out for a al together.
He stared intently at the photos of Ji Yu and Lu Xingchen on his phone screen, to the point where he seed ready to drag Lu Xingchen out of the picture and beat him up.
