Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband

Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Avoid Trouble

Gu Qixiao was momentarily stunned by her words, but he quickly understood what Ji Yu meant—it was nothing more than her feeling that the situation before them was a waste of time.

"I don’t have that kind of intention, don’t overthink it. As for the previous matter, I’ve already decided how to handle it."

He knew it was impossible to mete out overly harsh punishment to Song Xuan. "Until we find a suitable person for her to marry, she’s absolutely not allowed to take a single step out of her room."

He didn’t want Song Xuan to make things troublesome for Ji Yu.

Ji Yu raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? That truly seems like a severe punishment. But for me, this situation doesn’t really have much of an effect. She should go and apologize to my client."

She didn’t like dealing with situations like this.

Song Xuan let out a sarcastic laugh, as if she had just heard something utterly ridiculous. "You think I’m going to apologize to that old hag? Absolutely not!"

"That’s not up to you."

Ji Yu ignored Song Xuan’s reaction and looked directly at Gu Qixiao. Her meaning was clear: as long as her message was conveyed, that was enough.

Gu Qixiao knew very well that Song Xuan had been in the wrong, so he agreed to her request without hesitation. He took Song Xuan straight to Li Shishi’s hospital room.

Sure enough, it was obvious that there was some prior connection between Li Shishi and Song Xuan. "I didn’t expect it to be you."

She should have guessed sooner that it was Song Xuan.

"All I did was casually comment on your face earlier, and you’ve held a grudge until now. It seems you really don’t have much tolerance for others."

Ji Yu raised an eyebrow again; it was apparent that there was indeed some history between the two. So it wasn’t entirely Ji Yu’s fault that Li Shishi got dragged into this.

Song Xuan’s gaze carried a trace of malice. "Is your face really that much better than mine? Soon, you’ll be nothing more than what you are now!"

This unexpected statement was truly surprising.

But Ji Yu didn’t feel like assessing the rights and wrongs of the situation. All she could say was that a woman’s face really did seem to hold significant importance.

"I brought you here to apologize, not to argue with her over something like this."

Ji Yu’s expression remained calm; she wasn’t interested in overthinking things.

Gu Qixiao stepped in at the right moment. "Apologize, or prepare to pack your bags and head abroad."

At his words, Song Xuan visibly tensed. It had been hard enough for her to secure her position by Gu Qixiao’s side, especially with Ji Yu watching like a hawk. There was no way she’d let go so easily.

"I apologize. Miss Li, I’m sorry. I won’t dare to do it again."

Looking at Song Xuan in this state, Ji Yu felt a twinge of unease. Perhaps it was because the current Song Xuan seemed excessively meek, which unsettled her.

"Since the matter is resolved and the truth is out, take her away, and make sure something like this doesn’t happen again."

She didn’t want to see such incidents occurring around her.

Besides, why would Song Xuan go to such lengths for someone she liked?

It was obvious she couldn’t have him, and yet she persisted in feeding her jealousy. Was love really that important?

As Song Xuan was escorted away by Assistant Li, she still looked unwilling to accept the outcome, her gaze toward Ji Yu filled with resentment.

Ji Yu sighed helplessly. "I think I need to have a proper talk with you, President Gu. Some things simply can’t be left unattended."

Someone had to step up and resolve this situation.

Gu Qixiao knew that Ji Yu was likely to say something cutting again. But he also understood that this time, it was his own fault for not handling things well enough. Otherwise, Ji Yu wouldn’t have turned out this way.

"Yu, I’m sorry." His first words were an apology.

His tone was sincere.

But Ji Yu couldn’t help feeling that the entire situation was tinged with helplessness.

In circumstances like this, anyone would feel at a loss.

"Actually, you don’t have to apologize to me. This matter doesn’t directly have much to do with you, but you just so happened to be the catalyst. I’m perfectly aware of the relationship between you and Song Xuan."

She paused after saying this, recalling some of Song Xuan’s earlier remarks, which, in truth, carried a degree of validity.

"I don’t know how you used to get along with Song Xuan, but since you gave her hope, why would you turn around and crush it like this?"

Gu Qixiao frowned slightly, clearly disagreeing. He stepped forward and took Ji Yu’s hand. "I can ignore her affairs. What I owed before, I’ve already repaid nearly in full."

He had given Song Xuan the best life he could, and there was no longer any need to dwell on these matters.

Ji Yu raised an eyebrow. "If you’re doing this for my sake, it’s really not necessary. I’ve always been pretty laid-back about relationships."

No one was indispensable.

And Gu Qixiao was no exception.

Yet, ever since meeting Ji Yu, that belief seemed to have lost its power.

"I don’t know how to explain it to you, but sometimes feelings really don’t make sense."

Ji Yu suddenly felt speechless when she remembered the man before her was her ex-husband. They’d been so decisive back then.

Now that Gu Qixiao was intent on rekindling things, if he found out the truth, wouldn’t it just be incredibly awkward?

She looked at Gu Qixiao with pity. "You don’t need to overthink these things. Let’s just clarify what needs clarifying."

She didn’t want to argue with him, especially since his brain didn’t always seem to process things properly.

Gu Qixiao didn’t understand why she was looking at him like that. Somehow, he felt Ji Yu was hiding something from him.

"Yu, are you keeping something from me? I can’t help but feel your gaze toward me is a little... off."

And then there was that cryptic comment Ji Yuanzhou had made earlier.

Ji Yu smiled faintly. "This is something you’re better off not knowing. After all, even kindhearted lies need to be experienced and appreciated sometimes."

If this matter were revealed, it would leave everyone awkward.

However, Ji Yu had decided to bring up the issue of the child today.

"I know you’ve always been curious about the child I’m carrying. In truth, this child is from that one night we were together. You don’t have to worry too much about it—I can raise the child perfectly on my own."

Originally, Ji Yu hadn’t planned on mentioning the child, but seeing Gu Qixiao like this made her feel it was better to make things clear.

Otherwise, who knew what kind of misunderstanding might arise later?

At first, Gu Qixiao had no reaction, but when Ji Yu said the child was from their time together, his face froze completely. He didn’t even know where to place his hands or feet.

"What’s with that expression? If you don’t want the child, that’s fine. I was already planning to raise the child on my own, so you don’t need to get involved too much."

She knew Mr. Gu was a reasonable person, so she wasn’t worried about how things would unfold.
