Chapter 289: Chapter 289

"Can I see her? I can’t give up right now. I just want to have a good talk with her."

He had thought about this matter countless times, but he couldn’t let it go. Deep down, he liked her.

Ji Yu felt speechless about this. If he couldn’t let go, then why couldn’t he just have an honest conversation? The words he chose also left people baffled.

"Brother, to be honest, I don’t think you’re cut out for relationships, and the emotional problems you talk about are far too complicated for you to resolve."

She had mediated between them numerous times, but in the end, their relationship only became more awkward.

"Letting go might actually be the best choice, and from what I see, Qinqin no longer wants to stay involved with you."

Ji Yu could only leave it at that. She believed that Feng Qinqin hadn’t done anything wrong—if he hadn’t been so unreasonable, there wouldn’t have been any need for separation.

"Yu, can you tell me—has she truly let go? If she hasn’t, I hope I can still have a fair chance."

This time, Ji Yu said nothing. She decided to first ask Feng Qinqin what was truly on her mind. If Qinqin hadn’t completely let go, there might still be room for resolution.

Feng Qinqin just wanted to indulge in drunken escapism, refusing to think about such baffling matters anymore. For her, love had simply become too complicated—something she longed to forget.

"Qinqin, if you have anything to say, please be clear about it. If you really have moved on, then talk to him and make it plain."

Ji Yu truly didn’t want to dwell on this matter anymore.

Being caught between the two of them left her in a tough spot. She just hoped they could resolve things soon.

"I don’t want you anymore, Ji Yuanzhou!" This time, Feng Qinqin shouted loudly, affirming that she’d never think about Ji Yuanzhou again.

Ji Yu saw her red, swollen eyes and knew she hadn’t completely let go in her heart, but at this moment, she could only choose to give up. Otherwise, the pain would only grow more unbearable—better short-term agony than prolonged suffering.

Ji Yuanzhou said nothing, and in the end, he hung up the phone.

Similarly, Feng Qinqin had no mood to continue the conversation.

"Yuyu, why does he haunt me like a ghost? Just when I’m about to forget him, he suddenly reappears, forcing me into a corner."

She originally didn’t want to cry anymore, but upon hearing his voice, she couldn’t help but burst into sobs.

Ji Yu gently patted her back, hoping she could move past the pain quickly.

"Qinqin, this will soon be over. You said it yourself—without his shadow looming over you, you’ll live a happier life."

"Yes, I’ll definitely be happier." Feng Qinqin muttered softly.

But she truly couldn’t let go of the matter so easily.

She still needed time to calm down and compose herself.

Ji Yu felt heartbroken seeing her .

The two stayed on the island, seeming happy every evening, but only Ji Yu knew Feng Qinqin suffered in silence each night.

"Qinqin, if it’s too painful, stop thinking about it. You know it’s impossible; just let it go."

If there were still a chance for the two of them, Ji Yu was willing to help them have an honest conversation. But now that the decision to let go had been made, it was better not to dwell on those confusing thoughts.

"Yuyu, I’m just hurting too much. Let me have some quiet time; maybe then I’ll truly be able to face him without resentment."

Ji Yu knew that forgetting someone takes time.

Especially when it’s about forgetting someone you deeply loved.

Ji Yu often wondered how things would turn out if Gu Qixiao and she ever reached this point.

In the end, she couldn’t come up with any answers—the pain from such feelings was undeniable.

That night, Gu Qixiao video-called Ji Yu and immediately sensed her unhappiness.

"If there’s no other way, let them talk face-to-face."

"It’s already resolved, but one of them is still unwilling to let go." Ji Yu also understood Ji Yuanzhou’s reluctance.

But some things couldn’t be fixed just because someone wasn’t prepared to let them go.

"I don’t know what my brother is thinking. He’s so fixated on this, it leaves me feeling helpless."

She had always stood on Feng Qinqin’s side. Get full chapters from novelꜰire.net

If only he had been passionate earlier, things wouldn’t have reached this stage. But he only learned to cherish once everything had been lost.

By then, that person was no longer his—and if it stayed this way, all he could deserve was blame.

Ji Yu began to feel drowsy and drifted off to sleep.

Gu Qixiao listened to her faint breathing and couldn’t help but laugh quietly.

"Yu, no matter what, the two of us will never end up like that."

Ji Yu might have heard this promise subconsciously, as her lips curled into a faint smile.

Over the next few nights, she had a beautiful dream.

But the next morning, loud noises outside startled her awake. Hearing the commotion, she initially thought someone had come to cause trouble.

When she saw Ji Yuanzhou, her expression turned helpless.

"Brother, what are you trying to do? Qinqin doesn’t love you anymore and has made it clear she wants to break up. Why do you keep clinging to her?"

Clinging only worsened their pain. Letting go would leave both with a shred of warmth in the end—wasn’t that better?

"Yu, this is between Qinqin and me. Don’t interfere, please. There’s something I need to talk to her about. I know you all think I’m in the wrong, but some things still need clarification."

Ji Yu was about to say something when Feng Qinqin nodded, "Yuyu, since he wants to talk it out, then let’s make everything clear. You stay here; we’ll find a place to talk."

She had long lost hope in their relationship, knowing no amount of words could mend her heart.

She wanted to take a break and not think about these entangling matters anymore.

Ji Yu didn’t know what else to say—the situation simply felt terribly helpless.

"Qinqin, if anything happens, call me."
