Chapter 335: Chapter 335

Gu Qixiao ultimately agreed in the end.

Even though he still felt uneasy about it deep down, what could he do? Ji Yu had already agreed.

Zhang Yaoyue was somewhat taken aback by the turn of events unfolding before her. She hadn’t expected this at all, especially with how resolute Gu Qixiao had been earlier.

He didn’t want to see Zhang Yaoyue.

"You actually agreed?" Zhang Yaoyue looked at Gu Qixiao in surprise, clearly stunned by his sudden change.

"Of course." Gu Qixiao didn’t particularly want to bother with her, but since Ji Yu’s heart went out to her, what choice did he have?

He could only follow Ji Yu’s wishes.

Whatever Ji Yu desired, he would act accordingly.

For a moment, Zhang Yaoyue genuinely felt a pang of jealousy toward Ji Yu.

Why is it that someone could encounter such a person who cherishes her ?

"Don’t look at me with that kind of gaze. If Yu ends up getting the wrong idea, it won’t be good."

He hadn’t forgotten about what happened last time.

However, Zhang Yaoyue’s ideal was someone who thought of nothing and no one but her. Now that Gu Qixiao’s heart was clearly occupied by someone else, it was impossible for him to be with her. So, the matter could only be set aside for later.

Gu Qixiao paused to think carefully, considering whether he should temporarily put this matter on hold. "Let’s do this instead—stay at the apartment here. It’s enough for you to keep living in. As for your expenses, I could contact your brother or—"

"Don’t contact my brother!" At the mention of this, her tone immediately turned angry.

Who knew her brother had been the one who behaved the worst in all of this?

If she had known beforehand, she’d have made a point of investigating whether her brother’s girlfriends were also brought into relationships in similar ways.

"I’ll give you the money myself when the time comes. I’ve already spoken with Ji Yu about this, so don’t come looking for trouble with me anymore."

He truly didn’t want to keep discussing this with her.

But with things having progressed to this stage, Gu Qixiao hoped she could at least behave herself.

"You’d better stick to what you’ve said. Don’t entertain any other thoughts. If you dare to, I won’t hesitate to deal with you accordingly."

"I understand. You aren’t anything special either. Do you really think I still care about you?" She wasn’t overly fixated on this matter anymore.

She was destined to be cast aside, so no matter how much she said now, it wouldn’t change anything.

Gu Qixiao had no intention of further engaging with her. After making the necessary arrangements, he instructed Assistant Li to keep an eye on this matter, just in case Zhang Yaoyue still had ulterior motives.

Moreover, Ji Yu had just given birth. She was still in a fragile state, and if anything were to happen, it would undoubtedly weigh heavily on her heart.

"Understood." Assistant Li was already used to handling such matters, so when faced with a situation , it didn’t even raise an eyebrow.

As for Ji Yu, she truly didn’t have much of an opinion on the matter.

"Since you’ve already made arrangements for her, don’t overthink it. I trust she won’t entertain any further ideas. You might just be overthinking things."

"Yu, sometimes the human heart is the most unreliable. What if this was their plan all along, set up from the very beginning?" Gu Qixiao wasn’t being paranoid—rather, the assets of the Gu family genuinely had that kind of allure.

Hearing this, Ji Yu paused for a moment.

"If you frame it like that, it’s certainly possible. But please don’t get too caught up in worry."

Ji Yu still hoped the matter could be resolved peacefully.

"I understand." Until they revealed their true intentions, it wouldn’t be wise to act impulsively.

Gu Qixiao had a clear grasp of the situation, so these challenges weren’t particularly difficult for him to navigate.

Ji Yu couldn’t help but laugh as she looked at this version of Gu Qixiao. "Gu Qixiao, are you truly ready to marry me?"

The two were about to continue speaking when a commotion outside caught their attention.

Gu Qixiao frowned. "Yu, rest for a moment. I’ll go see what’s going on."

As he pushed open the door, he was met with the sight of Xia Chuanhe, whom he hadn’t seen in ages.

Chuanhe looked noticeably haggard, though the determination in his demeanor was still unmistakable.

"I came to see Yu." He hadn’t seen Ji Yu in ages and had been abroad all this time. And goodness, how much he missed her.

"Yu doesn’t want to see you." Gu Qixiao was well aware that Ji Yu had long grown disdainful of him. If the two were to meet, there’d be no joy in it.

"I just want to see her. I know none of you like me, but I only ask for one glance. Just one look, and I’ll leave. You don’t have to chase me away."

He truly couldn’t suppress the yearning he felt for Ji Yu any longer.

Under any other circumstances, he wouldn’t have said something .

Ji Yu, meanwhile, had already learned everything about Xia Chuanhe’s situation.

When Ji Yu saw Xia Chuanhe again, her demeanor was far calmer.

Maybe it was because it had been so long since they’d last met that there was no need to dwell so much on the past.

"Yu, I know you probably don’t want to see me. Don’t worry, I’m only here to check on you." Newest update provıded by novel•fire.net

"And what then? Since you already knew that, why bother disrupting my life?" Ji Yu stared blankly at the man before her, her gaze as cold as ice. Though her mind held fragments of past memories orchestrated by him, the Ji Yu looking at him now felt no emotion.

There was never any love between them, and in this situation, there was truly no point.

"I know you don’t like me; I know you hate me. But I can’t bring myself to accept it." His heart ached terribly as he faced Ji Yu’s indifferent eyes.

"If you truly like me, then stop bothering me. That’s the most basic respect you could offer." Ji Yu wasn’t looking for unnecessary complications.

Seeing him once was enough. In the end, no matter how much was said, the outcome wouldn’t change.

She didn’t believe this matter was of any real significance.

"Yu..." Though he said he knew Ji Yu hated him and wanted no disruptions...

His actions said otherwise.

"Look at you, Xia Chuanhe. Don’t you find yourself hypocritical? You always speak so nobly, yet your behavior disgusts people." Ji Yu stayed composed.

After all, he had already admitted that she disliked him.

Chuanhe knew it in his heart, but seeing Ji Yu’s expression still left him feeling deeply unsettled.

The pain was piercing, like being struck by thousands of arrows.

"Don’t worry, I won’t force anything on you anymore. I just wanted to see you. I will carry everything we shared in my heart always."
