Chapter 351: Chapter 351

The two smiled at each other, clearly trusting in their feelings for one another regarding this matter.

Ji Yu wanted to rest properly for a while. The recent events had left her utterly exhausted.

She decided to recover fully and plan to try on wedding dresses the next day.

But unexpectedly, Gu Qixiao was called away by a phone call that evening.

Ji Yu, still half-asleep, looked at him with a confused expression. "What happened?"

"Something came up at the company. Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal. I’ll be back soon, and it definitely won’t delay anything between us." He was still very mindful in this regard.

Moreover, he didn’t want Ji Yu to worry about his issues.

But how could Ji Yu not be concerned about his troubles?

Seeing him , she grew uneasy about the situation. "Gu Qixiao, if anything happens, call me. I can go to you anytime."

She still had to stay home and look after the child’s situation, as one of them had to remain at home.

Gu Qixiao understood Ji Yu’s concerns, but this matter truly wasn’t that serious. It was just something that required his personal attention.

Yet none of them expected that Gu Qixiao’s departure would stretch into three full days and nights without a word.

When Ji Yu realized something was wrong, she immediately tried to contact Assistant Li, but his phone also went unanswered. She instantly knew that something serious must have happened. Otherwise, how could Gu Qixiao vanish into thin air without any reason?

When she rushed to the company, Mr. Gu had just arrived as well to take charge of the situation. Seeing Ji Yu arrive in such a hurry, he realized she was deeply concerned about Gu Qixiao.

"Xiao’s situation is still unclear for now. Yu, you should go home and rest properly. Leave this to me," he said.

But how could Ji Yu not worry about Gu Qixiao?

The two of them were about to get married, and the wedding was incredibly important to them.

"I don’t know how to put it, but I also want to be involved. Gu Qixiao and I are ready to get married—only the wedding remains. I can’t just turn a blind eye to what’s happening with him."

Ji Yu deeply cared about this situation.

Mr. Gu sighed, unsure of how to respond to Ji Yu. After all, matters could easily take a dangerous turn.

"Yu, you must know that Xiao has a fierce rival, right? Recently, tensions between them have escalated significantly. Both of them disappeared a few days ago, and neither has been seen since."

He, too, was deeply worried about the situation. But with Gu Qixiao already missing, if anything happened to Ji Yu as well, things would only spiral further out of control.

Ji Yu was silent for a moment, realizing the gravity of the situation. For origınal chapters go to novel(ꜰ)ire.net

However, she didn’t say anything else. She simply turned around and walked away in silence.

Mr. Gu understood Ji Yu’s character and didn’t blame her. Even if she chose to leave now, they wouldn’t force her to do anything. Ji Yu was inherently a free-spirited individual.

In truth, Ji Yu had no intention of letting the matter go. She went straight to Hong, visibly distraught. Hong looked at her with concern, afraid something might happen to her.

"Sister Yu, if there’s anything you need, just tell me. If there’s any way I can help, I absolutely will," he said.

He had said as much before and knew she was still in a state of amnesia. But that didn’t diminish the bond between them.

"I want to know where Gu Qixiao is and why he hasn’t returned yet."

She truly didn’t know what to say anymore. If something did happen to Gu Qixiao, she didn’t know how she would mend the wound in her heart.

"Sister Yu, finding Gu Qixiao might be a bit complicated. He briefed me before he left, but as of the day before yesterday, he completely dropped off the grid. Even my trackers haven’t found any clues."

He felt utterly helpless as he spoke about the matter.

He had done everything he could, but the outcome remained so bleak.

Ji Yu pressed her lips together, struggling to accept this. "Keep searching. I’ll look for others to help as well. Let me know if you hear anything."

She cared deeply about this situation.

She left Hong’s place looking utterly defeated. Hong was beside himself with worry seeing her , but he also knew Ji Yu was sharp and had her own plans.

In truth, Ji Yu had suddenly started recalling many old memories. For some reason, her mind was flooded with images of Gu Qixiao.

But why now—just as Gu Qixiao had disappeared? To her, this felt like nothing short of a cruel punishment.

Perhaps it was because of the overwhelming conflict in her heart. Before she could make it home, her head began to throb violently, and she soon collapsed to the ground.

The people around her were startled by the scene.

"What’s going on...?"

Lu Xingchen appeared from the side and, without hesitation, scooped Ji Yu into his arms.

He didn’t know what was wrong with her but could see her condition was dire. Her face was pale, her expression full of pain. He couldn’t ignore her plight, nor did he care about how others might perceive him. He just wanted to help her.

As soon as he got Ji Yu to the hospital, social media exploded with speculation, with people wondering if there was some deeper relationship between them.

Otherwise, why such intimacy between the two?

What was more curious was that something seemed off about Ji Yu and Lu Xingchen’s interaction.

In truth, Lu Xingchen couldn’t care less about public opinion. All he wanted was to rescue Ji Yu. To him, she was the light of his life. If anything happened to her, it would be a severe blow to him.

Seeing that Ji Yu showed no sign of waking up, he had no choice but to call Ji Yuanzhou.

When Ji Yuanzhou saw this version of Ji Yu, he was heartbroken.

"I think I know what’s wrong. She’s probably too worried about Gu Qixiao, and that’s why she collapsed."

He understood in his heart that Ji Yu could never turn her back on anything related to Gu Qixiao. But if even Gu Qixiao couldn’t handle the matter, how could Ji Yu possibly resolve it?

"I’ll stay and watch over her. Your identity is still quite sensitive, and now that this has leaked online, it’s better for you to avoid any involvement."
