Chapter 406: Chapter 406
Ji Yu was truly disappointed in Charles and his group now.
Especially since, in the end, the first person they doubted wasn’t themselves, but Ji Yu.
Whenever she encountered something , Ji Yu would always curse it out every single time.
"Yu, even if we don’t collaborate with these people, we can still resolve this matter smoothly. No matter what happens, I’ll always be your support."
Gu Qixiao would never disappear in situations .
Ji Yu couldn’t help but smile, knowing that they would always stand behind her.
"Gu Qixiao, thank you for staying by my side, even at a time ." Check latest chapters at novel✶fire.net
The two of them had clearly been through so much that, at this point, they no longer needed to feel troubled by these things.
Gu Qixiao looked at Ji Yu and sighed, "Yu, I’ve always been afraid that you’d leave me because of the past. I can promise you that back then, I only dealt with those who deserved it. I’d never be like Jiang Huai, who kills indiscriminately."
Of course Ji Yu believed him; otherwise, she wouldn’t still be with him now.
"Gu Qixiao, stop overthinking. The past is in the past. I only see the you of today."
If Jiang Huai hadn’t killed Song Xuan in front of Ji Yu, she might never have thought of the past. Those moments from back then had remained ingrained in Ji Yu’s very flesh and blood. Thinking about it now, it all seemed absurdly laughable.
"I understand." This was precisely why Gu Qixiao was even more afraid of exposing his inner thoughts to Ji Yu. Sometimes, when facing situations , he couldn’t help but feel the urge to act.
"Gu Qixiao, promise me, no matter what happens, don’t ever become like Jiang Huai. To me, such behavior is too awful. I don’t want to see someone close to me act like that, and I definitely don’t want my child to have a father like that."
Hearing this, Gu Qixiao quickly nodded.
But for some reason, Gu Qixiao recently kept thinking about some inexplicable things.
Things that hadn’t even happened yet were starting to play out in his mind.
He even began to suspect whether he was hallucinating.
After coaxing Ji Yu to sleep, he immediately scheduled a meeting with a psychologist.
Upon learning about Gu Qixiao’s condition, the psychologist’s expression looked complicated and hard to describe.
"President Gu, this might simply be caused by excessive nervous tension. Please don’t overthink things."
But Gu Qixiao felt didn’t just happen by coincidence. So much had occurred recently, yet it was this specific issue that lingered so vividly in his mind. He suspected whether Jiang Huai had done something.
After all, that day, all he did was meet Jiang Huai.
"Perhaps you could try relaxing your emotions, or maybe have a good talk with your wife. I believe your wife would be more than willing to discuss this matter with you."
The psychologist maintained that the issue stemmed from Gu Qixiao being overly tense.
But if Gu Qixiao really wanted to analyze the matter, it could very well be his own problem.
"Could there be some kind of drug in my system?"
"Under normal circumstances, such drugs typically require ingestion. I don’t think President Gu would make such a mistake." The psychologist smiled at Gu Qixiao, clearly thinking this wasn’t something to be concerned about.
Yet for some reason, Gu Qixiao couldn’t just let the matter go. It felt as if this issue was weighing on his mood.
"President Gu, I understand this is very distressing for you, but please don’t worry too much about it." He hoped Gu Qixiao could temporarily calm down.
Gu Qixiao took a deep breath, understanding the psychologist’s point.
"Got it." He needed to relax his nerves. Otherwise, if this continued, Ji Yu was bound to notice something was wrong. If she found out, it’d be difficult to explain.
Sure enough, later that night, Ji Yu woke up and found that Gu Qixiao wasn’t there, which she found odd.
The next morning, when she saw Gu Qixiao, she casually asked, "Gu Qixiao, did you go out in the middle of the night last night? Did something happen? I know you wouldn’t leave without a good reason."
Normally, he’d be more than happy to stay by her side, so how could he just disappear like that?
Clearly, there was something going on.
Ji Yu felt puzzled but trusted that Gu Qixiao wouldn’t do anything bad.
Gu Qixiao didn’t know how to respond to Ji Yu. He couldn’t exactly say it was because he was having mental issues. What if Ji Yu got scared because of it?
"Yu, I know you’re curious right now, but I can’t tell you just yet. I hope you’ll trust me. I’ll work on adjusting myself."
Initially, Ji Yu didn’t think it was anything serious, but after hearing what Gu Qixiao said, she realized the gravity of the situation. "If you’re facing a problem, we can solve it together. How can I possibly feel at ease with you ?"
She began to understand that Gu Qixiao might indeed have a major issue. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be hiding it from her.
"Yu, I need some time. I know you’re worried about me, but it’s not as bad as you think. I just don’t know what to do right now." His mind was in disarray, so chaotic that even he didn’t know what to do.
Ji Yu looked at him helplessly, knowing that when Gu Qixiao didn’t want to talk, no matter how many times she asked, the answer would be the same. "Gu Qixiao, are you stupid? How could this be an issue? If you don’t tell me, I’ll actually start worrying about you. This could be easily resolved, so why keep it from me?"
Her steady gaze locked onto Gu Qixiao, clearly hoping he would trust her.
But Gu Qixiao had so much bottled up inside him that he couldn’t just spill it all to Ji Yu. "Yu, I get what you mean, and I know what’s in your heart. But can you really promise not to look down on me for this?"
The conversation seemed to circle back to where it started.
Ji Yu stared at Gu Qixiao intently, her eyes mixed with helplessness. "Gu Qixiao, are you seriously that foolish? I’ve told you before—our relationship shouldn’t be . Think about everything we went through. Haven’t I been good enough to you?"
She wanted Gu Qixiao to trust her more, and to trust himself more as well.
