Chapter 388: Chapter 388

Ji Yu was deeply worried about what he’d been through before.

Seeing him now made her heart ache for him.

The two of them leaned quietly against each other .

Ji Yu could sense that Gu Qixiao’s heart was in a very complicated place right now.

But all of these things were already set in stone; there was no point in dwelling on them any longer.

"Yu, thank you for staying by my side even at a time . Sometimes I really feel so lonely; there are things I can’t say to anyone, but I can say them to you."

He was someone profoundly lonely at heart.

But Ji Yu felt his thoughts were utterly ridiculous.

"Gu Qixiao, stop overthinking. Your family loves you deeply, not to mention we have little Bun now, don’t we?"

Their child had already been born. How could he say no one cared for him or that he was lonely?

Ji Yu’s words struck a chord with Gu Qixiao. He truly cared deeply for their child and Ji Yu. He wouldn’t be lonely anymore.

"There are things only you can say. I’m so grateful to have you by my side. I can’t even imagine what my life would look like if I were all alone."

Thankfully, they hadn’t missed out on each other.

As Ji Yu sat silently here, she could feel their connection growing even closer.

In truth, relationships were as simple as that. Neither person needed to overthink things; all that mattered was clarity and honesty.

Ji Yu was still calm in her current state.

"In the past, I even wondered whether you had some kind of relationship with Song Xuan. But thinking about it now, it doesn’t seem to be the case. The connection between you and Song Xuan isn’t as complicated as I imagined."

She felt a sense of helplessness about the things that had happened before.

However, since the misunderstanding between them had already been resolved, there was no need to dwell on those thoughts any longer.

"Yu, I really don’t know what was wrong with me back then. Even if I did want to repay a debt, I shouldn’t have acted like that."

He wasn’t sure whether his actions or his words had caused Song Xuan to misunderstand him.

"You’ve already rejected her, so none of this is your fault."

Song Xuan was no longer around now, so there was no need to keep talking about it.

Just as they were about to wrap up their conversation, news came in from Jiang Huai.

"Yu, I don’t want to see you in danger. If anything happens, just tell me."

Ji Yu stared at the map and was suddenly reminded of many past events. Back then, their relationship hadn’t been this awkward or strained. But the location marked on the map should have long been abandoned.

So why was such information still coming up now?

"Yu, you must remember this place, right? I’ve arranged for a treasure to be there for you. Maybe you’ll be surprised if you go take a look?"

Ji Yu remained forthcoming about her stance on this, "I don’t know what exactly you’re talking about, and I have no interest in any of this. So please stop sending me pointless messages."

She felt exasperated, unable to grasp what exactly was going on—why this person was using such a baffling method to trouble her.

"Yu, if you don’t go, you’ll regret it. If you end up missing something important, don’t blame me for failing to warn you."

With that, he hung up, leaving Ji Yu with an uneasy premonition, as if something about the present situation was deeply off.

"Yu, what’s wrong?" Gu Qixiao worried that Ji Yu might be feeling unwell, so he directly approached to check on her.

Ji Yu’s emotions were complex. Even she didn’t know what was wrong with her or why she suddenly felt so anxious without reason.

"Gu Qixiao, I feel like Jiang Huai is up to something. There’s no way someone like him would send me a map without a reason. Back when we were still good friends, he once told me that his most precious treasure would be placed there. But now, I barely know him anymore."

So what exactly was this important treasure? Ji Yu had no clue.

Gu Qixiao felt an anxious knot forming in his chest, not understanding why this was happening.

"Yu, don’t worry just yet. If he has truly done something, we’ll be able to uncover it. There’s no need to be afraid."

"I don’t know why I feel so unsettled. Gu Qixiao, do you think something might’ve happened at home?" Ji Yu’s mind raced through countless possibilities, but none of them involved their child.

Gu Qixiao looked at her helplessly. "Yu, you’re probably just overly tense, which is why you’re thinking this way. Please, go get some rest. If anything comes up, I’ll definitely let you know."

He kept trying to soothe Ji Yu’s emotions, hoping she wouldn’t get too distressed over this.

Ji Yu didn’t know what to do. "I don’t want to go rest."

"Yu, you’re already exhausted. Please promise me not to keep pushing yourself; you need proper rest. You can’t keep wearing your body down ."

He gently held Ji Yu in his arms, his touch tender. He already had an idea of what this was about, but he didn’t want Ji Yu to take such risks. He could handle this himself.

"Gu Qixiao, why do I feel like you’re hiding something from me? If something really happens, you better not keep it a secret from me." Latest content publıshed on ɴovelfire.net

"I won’t keep things from you. Yu, do you really think I’d lie to you?" Gu Qixiao understood clearly that once Ji Yu knew about this, she wouldn’t hesitate to act regardless of the consequences.

Therefore, he had to keep it from her for now. Once little Bun was found, everything would be fine.

"You need to rest properly. You’ve already done too much during this time, and that’s why you’re so on edge. I feel so bad seeing you , so please don’t keep hurting your body ."

He was tender and patient in comforting Ji Yu.

Ji Yu finally sensed his thoughts and could only agree to go back and rest.

She didn’t want others to worry about her. Things were already as they were now; it wouldn’t be right for her to keep burdening those around her.

Watching Ji Yu head off to rest, Gu Qixiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only he knew how agitated he’d felt during this entire time.
