Chapter 295: Chapter 295

She knew Gu Qixiao would never forgive her.

She looked at Gu Qixiao, her gaze tinged with resentment, "Of course, you only ever care about Ji Yu. When have you ever cared about me? You’re always saying I’m the one who’s wrong—have you ever considered if you’re completely right in what you do?"

As she spoke of these matters, she couldn’t help but harbor hatred toward Ji Yu.

If only Ji Yu hadn’t appeared, how wonderful things would have been. If Ji Yu hadn’t appeared, Gu Qixiao would have been hers.

But unfortunately, that seemed to be nothing more than wishful thinking.

"I remember everything you’ve done to Yu before, so there’s no way we can ever be friends."

Gu Qixiao had no intention of dealing with her further and simply instructed Assistant Li to hurry and get in the car.

He didn’t want to see her anymore.

Deep down, she had held some hope regarding this matter.

But seeing Gu Qixiao’s demeanor now, she suddenly felt as though none of it held any meaning anymore.

She wanted all of them to regret, wanted them all dead!

Things were relatively calm on Ji Yu’s side. When Gu Qixiao arrived, she followed him straight to the restaurant. Follow current novᴇls on NoveI-Fire.ɴet

"Gu Qixiao, have you offended someone recently?"

She recalled some things. At first, she hadn’t suspected anyone, but upon seeing Gu Qixiao, she suddenly thought this matter might indeed be related to him.

Gu Qixiao was slightly surprised, obviously unsure why Ji Yu would ask such a question.

"Did something happen to Yu?"

"It’s not that anything has really happened. It’s just that Hong told me some people have been buying information about you recently, and one of them has already gotten his hands on it. That means they’ve been looking through a significant amount of people."

Ji Yu still remembered what Hong had mentioned before.

Initially, Hong hadn’t wanted to interfere in Gu Qixiao’s matters. But since Ji Yu valued it, he had given her a warning.

Ji Yu, of course, couldn’t ignore matters involving Gu Qixiao.

Gu Qixiao had no intention of keeping this matter secret; he clearly understood Ji Yu’s concern for his safety. "I have some guesses about Yu’s situation, but you don’t need to worry. If anything happens, call me immediately. Under no circumstances should you go out alone."

He had his own considerations regarding this matter.

Ji Yu could tell from his expression that he seemed confident in handling it.

"Then you’d better be careful. Since they’re buying your information, I’ve already arranged for Hong to sell them something—but it’s fake. You can act upon those leads accordingly."

She felt no guilt about this. The other party clearly had malicious intent, so it was only logical to teach them a lesson using this approach.

"That person is a bit unhinged. If things go wrong, it won’t be good. You should have Hong keep out of it. I understand the grudges between that person and me."

When he spoke about this, he seemed somewhat helpless, probably never expecting the person to target someone close to Ji Yu.

"Honestly, Yu, I don’t want you to get involved with this person’s issues."

Ji Yu had already stirred up a lot of trouble recently. If she continued to get tangled up with someone , it was likely she’d suffer even more.

Ji Yu wasn’t very concerned. "I’m not afraid of being bullied. I’m only worried about your safety. Besides, I have plenty of people by my side. I know you arranged them to protect me."

She wasn’t opposed to the presence of those people. Having interacted with them for so long, she somewhat understood their purpose.

"I only care about your safety. If you don’t like these people, I can replace them anytime." Gu Qixiao understood Ji Yu could be sensitive about such matters, so he was particularly cautious in this moment.

Ji Yu, however, didn’t mind addressing these issues openly. "Gu Qixiao, you need to understand—I like you just as you like me. There’s no need to tread so carefully in matters ."

She understood Gu Qixiao’s fears, but they’d been together for so long now. If they still resisted such matters, then there was fundamentally a problem between them.

Clearly, Gu Qixiao hadn’t expected Ji Yu to say something . Emotional matters were indeed something he felt uncertain about.

After all, Ji Yu had rejected him many times before, so he now approached her hesitantly, worried she’d withdraw at this moment.

"Gu Qixiao, you need to trust that you’re an amazing person. That’s why I like you, and it’s nothing you should overthink."

On this matter, Ji Yu was decisive.

If she didn’t truly like him, then she wouldn’t have chosen to be with him.

Gu Qixiao gazed at the resolute Ji Yu, suddenly unsure what to say.

It was as though all the fears he’d had before no longer mattered.

For once, the two of them finally had an open conversation about their feelings.

Ji Yu hoped the man in front of her would grow better and better. Of course, the bigger hope was that there’d be far fewer conflicts between them moving forward.

As for the person in conflict with Gu Qixiao, Ji Yu didn’t press for details.

But her decision to avoid troubling this person didn’t mean he wouldn’t come seeking trouble with Ji Yu.

Shi Chengxin scrutinized Ji Yu, as though appraising her.

Ji Yu detested men the most.

"If you have something to say, just say it outright. Staring at me like that—you don’t actually think you have the right to judge me, do you?"

Her temperament wasn’t great to begin with. If someone wanted to provoke her, they’d better have the capability to back it up.

Sure enough, Shi Chengxin furrowed his brow even more as Ji Yu spoke.

"So you’re Ji Yu? Is this really the kind of woman Gu Qixiao likes? Frankly, it’s quite surprising."

Clearly, his purpose was tied to Gu Qixiao.

But Ji Yu remained calm as she met his gaze.

"And what makes you think you’re anything special?" Ji Yu had already gained some understanding of his background. If he could involve himself with Gu Qixiao, then there were undoubtedly layers of complication here.

"Relax, I won’t target you because of Gu Qixiao. I just wanted to see what kind of woman he likes. But it seems his taste isn’t very refined—how could he fall for someone like you?"

His tone carried undisguised scorn.

Ji Yu grew increasingly disgusted by people like him. "Whatever issues you have with Gu Qixiao have nothing to do with me. Who gave you the right to judge me? You don’t honestly think you’re some kind of lofty figure, do you?"
