Chapter 403: Chapter 403

Even though he already felt the pain, he still wouldn’t let go of Ji Yu’s hand.

Sometimes, Ji Yu really wanted to pry open his head and take a look inside, to see just what kind of nonsense was in there. Why was he acting now?

"Gu Qixiao, you are truly hopeless. To think, at the beginning, I even thought you were quite rational. But everything you’re doing now has nothing to do with rationality." What she wanted to see was a free-spirited Gu Qixiao.

"Yu, I don’t think what I’m doing is any big deal. Besides, I know very well in my heart what I’m doing—I just like treating you well in this way."

He had already spoken this far, and Ji Yu really didn’t know what else to say to him or how to fix him. It seemed that no matter what she said, there was no way to knock some sense into his love-struck head.

"Yu, if you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me anytime. But my attitude on this matter is absolutely not going to change."

No matter what price he had to pay, he was willing as long as it came to loving Ji Yu.

Ji Yu looked at him helplessly and finally understood what all of this was about.

"Gu Qixiao, I won’t treat you poorly. I know what’s in your heart, so I will treat you well." What else could she do when faced with someone ? She could only treat him kindly; otherwise, if something really happened in the future, he’d probably take the blame on himself before ever letting her feel uncomfortable.

Ji Yu finally got it. What he had done before really was driven by a love-struck mind.

Even Gu Qixiao himself didn’t know why he was acting this way.

But as long as he saw Ji Yu smile, his heart couldn’t help but feel happy along with her. So, to him, everything else didn’t seem all that important anymore.

"Yu, do you have any plans recently? Are you going back to deal with your company first, or are you preparing for something else?"

Ji Yu thought about it carefully. In her current state, if she went back, Hu Jianyu would probably worry, so she simply shook her head and dismissed the idea of returning.

"You already know my dad’s situation. He already feels guilty enough toward me—if something happens again, he’ll definitely feel even worse."

But Ji Yu didn’t expect that, just as she was thinking about it, Hu Jianyu actually showed up the next day.

This time, he didn’t lose his temper right away. Instead, he first called a private doctor to check Ji Yu. Everything else could wait.

After seeing the test results, Hu Jianyu finally spoke, "Yu, didn’t you promise me before? Have you forgotten already?"

Ji Yu felt a little guilty deep down. She had indeed told him everything would be fine, but wasn’t this all because she’d run into a lunatic?

She never expected that the person causing trouble for her this time would actually be Jiang Huai.

Thinking back on the things Jiang Huai had done before still made her feel a chill of fear.

"Dad, I really was wrong about this. At the time, I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. If you’re upset, you can scold me. I know I’ve made a mess of things."

In truth, he also felt powerless about this.

"Yu, I’m not trying to punish you. I just think what you’re doing now is far too dangerous. Why didn’t you come home to discuss it with me? If something really happened, I could have helped you."

Hu Jianyu already felt a deep sense of guilt, thinking he hadn’t fulfilled his role as a father in this matter.

All he ever wanted was for his child to be happy.

Ji Yu had worried about him thinking this way, which is why she’d stopped him in the first place—she didn’t want him to feel this way at all.

"Dad, I didn’t want to come back because I didn’t want to trouble you. Now, seeing you so worried about me is exactly what I didn’t want to happen. That person really is insane."

She emphasized how serious it was, hoping Hu Jianyu wouldn’t get involved because of it.

But Hu Jianyu couldn’t allow Ji Yu to face this alone. "Yu, you know the person you’re dealing with is a lunatic—how could I just stand by and do nothing? If something were to happen to you, I wouldn’t be able to face Yao even in death."

He knew all too well that his daughter was a strong, independent young woman. That’s why, at this time, he’d already thought of many ways to help, hoping Ji Yu wouldn’t let this weigh on her.

But Ji Yu couldn’t get over it in her heart. She still felt like she needed to face this on her own.

"I understand, but it’s really not a big deal. Aren’t I still fine right now?"

Hearing that, Hu Jianyu’s eyes reddened. He knew exactly what kind of person Ji Yu was—she wouldn’t let him worry, no matter what—but this time, things truly didn’t need to get so bad.

"Yu, don’t you trust me? I’m not as fragile as you think. I have my ways of dealing with someone ."

Ji Yu honestly didn’t know what kind of influence Hu Jianyu still had, but since he said this, she didn’t have much choice. She could only agree to let him stay for the time being but arranged for people to be by his side, just in case Jiang Huai did something extreme. Googlᴇ search novel⦿fire.net

In fact, Jiang Huai didn’t have much else in mind right now. He just wanted to meet with Ji Yu.

Last time, when Ji Yu left, he still had so much left to say, but Ji Yu had blocked all his contact information.

He could only wait for Ji Yu to seek him out one day with Charles in tow for a confrontation, hoping that would give him an opportunity to meet her.

At this point, he didn’t think Charles’ return was all that important anymore.

Day after day passed, and heaven only knew how much he missed Ji Yu during this time.

Fortunately, Ji Yu’s surgery was a success.

Looking at her now fully recovered face, Charles suddenly realized just how powerful Ji Yu truly was.

"Miss Ji, I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done this time." Heaven knew how much it pained him all this while, looking at such a damaged face.

Thankfully, things had improved now, and there was no need for him to worry so much anymore.

"What I can do for you is only this much. Just promise me one thing—don’t go under the knife so lightly in the future."
