Chapter 207: Chapter 207

Sometimes, Ji Yu is just too fixated on these matters, which is why it affects her .

Gu Qixiao knew how upset Ji Yu was feeling now, so he stayed by her side whenever he had the time, afraid that something might happen to her.

At first, Ji Yu felt a little helpless and wanted him to leave, but later she got used to it.

"Gu Qixiao, I really won’t do anything to myself. I’m just feeling guilty, that’s all."

She only ever pressured herself silently.

But Gu Qixiao felt that times like these were still very important.

"You’re pregnant right now. You must take good care of yourself. And even if someone does need to take responsibility, it should be me." From the very beginning, this matter was never Ji Yu’s fault.

His choice of this outcome meant he was willing to bear the consequences.

Ji Yu didn’t know what to say in response, only thinking that Gu Qixiao was genuinely too anxious. "Why are you so nervous? Do you really think I’d develop some psychological issues over this?"

To be honest, she wasn’t a Saint. Knowing about this matter naturally upset her, but she would never go down darker paths of thought.

"If possible, I just hope their plan fails, or that we can find an opportunity to help them when the time comes."

That would actually be a better outcome.

Now that things had reached this point, serious thought was indeed necessary.

The current situation was perplexing, to say the least.

Gu Qixiao wasn’t sure what he should do either.

He could only acknowledge that he didn’t fully understand Ji Yu’s state of mind.

"Yu, whatever you’re thinking, you can tell me. I’ll always be here to protect you, so you can completely pin these matters on me." He was willing to help Ji Yu bear this burden.

Ji Yu found his serious demeanor amusing. "Don’t you think this is all a bit inappropriate?"

She wasn’t sure what else to say, just knowing that these matters were genuinely difficult to put into words.

"But it might make you feel better."

"If I pin everything on you, I might just leave you behind. I don’t think I could face someone like that." She said this with a smile in her eyes, as if she were truly joking.

But Gu Qixiao couldn’t take the joke.

When Gu Qixiao fell silent, Ji Yu instantly understood. Google seaʀᴄh novelꜰire.net

"You, huh. It’s like you can handle everything, but you always falter on matters ." Ji Yu couldn’t help but want to laugh.

In truth, Ji Yu could never blame him for these things, so she was only joking.

Hearing her words, Gu Qixiao smiled somewhat helplessly. "Yu, you should know what I think. I can lose a lot of things, but if I lose you, I can’t accept it."

How could he give up on someone he’d been so persistent about for so long?

"I originally wanted to take you home to meet my parents, but considering the child, I think we should wait a little longer." He didn’t want to risk being misunderstood by his parents.

Actually, Ji Yu wanted to say there was no way they would misunderstand.

After all, they had known her longer than he had.

But this wasn’t something Ji Yu felt she could comment on.

"I’m fine." She just needed a good rest.

Gu Qixiao stayed by her side, trying to feel what Ji Yu was going through. Sometimes he truly wished he could take her place and bear it all for her.

Life had been relatively peaceful, and the child in Ji Yu’s belly was calm too, but some people just couldn’t behave themselves.

The moment Ji Yu saw Li Yu, she knew that something was wrong with that man’s face.

"The surgery I performed was flawless. I didn’t meddle with anything." She disdained doing such things.

But Li Yu didn’t believe her at all. "If you didn’t tamper with anything, why is his face ?"

He brought the man in front of Ji Yu, trying to get an explanation out of her.

This time, his plan was a total failure. Even if he tried again later, it would be difficult.

Looking at the situation, Ji Yu wasn’t surprised. "Why don’t you ask him what he did to himself? Why come to me for trouble? I take surgery very seriously, and your own face is the best example."

His face had no issues; how could a simpler surgery go wrong?

Ji Yu’s words made some sense.

Li Yu looked at the man next to him.

The man’s expression darkened. "I clearly applied the ointment according to your instructions. How could this happen?"

"Oh? Did you truly follow my instructions, or did you use some other product someone recommended? Do I really need to spell it out for you? If there’s one thing I despise, it’s situations ."

Every time Ji Yu performed a surgery, she would explicitly warn against disregarding her post-op care guidelines. But these people just didn’t listen.

That said, the situation might actually be a blessing in disguise for Ji Yu.

"Given the state you’re in, don’t come blaming me. Don’t bring absurd matters to me again."

She spoke with utter composure.

What was left for Li Yu to misunderstand?

Veins were bulging on his forehead in anger.

Clearly, he could barely hold it together.

But Ji Yu essentially ignored things .

If they insisted on digging their own grave, why should she bother? Why put herself at unnecessary risk?

After learning that their plan had failed, Ji Yu suddenly felt that her heart no longer needed to harbor that pent-up frustration.

"Do you all find this fun?" She smiled at the scene before her, finding it entirely meaningless.

"Please, just fix his face." No matter what, he still wanted to try again. If it didn’t work, he’d deal with it then, but for now, the face had to be preserved.

He was clear about what needed to be done next.

Ji Yu found the whole thing amusing. "Didn’t you ask about my principles before coming to me? I don’t fix situations . And besides, if you’ve already used the wrong things, don’t come here asking for trouble. I don’t clean up other people’s messes."

The only exception she’d ever made had been for Gu Qixiao.

Li Yu knew that Ji Yu had always been a person of principle, which was precisely why she was so stubborn in situations . He found it increasingly frustrating, unsure how to smoothly deal with the matter.

"Ji Yu, consider this a favor I’m asking you. In the future, whatever you need from me, I’ll agree. But this face, we still need it. You must fix it."
