Chapter 122: Chapter 122 The Child Is Yours

Gu Qixiao just hadn’t processed it yet. At first, he always thought the matter of the child needed time to ponder, but Ji Yu suddenly dropped such a bombshell.

"You don’t need to worry that I’ll ask you for child support or anything like that. I never had any other intentions."

She simply hoped to give the child a chance to have a father. Even if the two of them weren’t together, at the very least, the child shouldn’t be deprived of that connection.

She thought about the children in the orphanage and their yearning for parents. Suddenly, she understood. No matter how much love she gave to the child later, it couldn’t compare to the love from a real father.

"That’s not what I meant." When he heard Ji Yu speak like this, he got a little anxious, worried she might misunderstand his intentions.

"I was just too emotional. I really didn’t expect that this child is mine."

He had been thinking that even if the child wasn’t his, he could still treat them as his own. But Ji Yu’s words thoroughly made him realize.

So, this child belonged to the two of them.

How could such an unexpected joy not move him?

Ji Yu looked at him and didn’t know what to say. "You don’t need to be this worked up. Honestly, I didn’t intend to marry you just because of the child."

After all, they would need to see how things went. If Gu Qixiao turned out not to be a suitable father, then it might be better to find the child a stepdad.

Gu Qixiao had already taken Ji Yu as the person by his side for good. How could he not be excited? "Why didn’t you tell me sooner?"

"Because I was afraid certain people would think I have ulterior motives?"

But Ji Yu also worried that Gu Qixiao might have ulterior motives. However, from the current situation, it seemed unlikely. His reaction made it clear.

This silly look of his clearly showed he was completely clueless about the matter of the child.

"I’m really emotional right now. Don’t worry, I promise I’ll take good care of you two from now on."

He knew Ji Yu would surely give birth to the child. In his mind, he was already planning how to register their marriage and organize the wedding.

Ji Yu looked at him and felt particularly exasperated. "You really know how to dream big. I never said I’d marry you because of the child. I was just being upfront with you."

Besides, it was impossible for this child to be raised by Gu Qixiao.

Gu Qixiao’s expression turned serious. "Don’t you want our child to have a complete family? Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you two in the future."

A child and the woman he liked as his wife—how could Gu Qixiao not think about such a good thing?

Ji Yu couldn’t help but roll her eyes. "You sure know how to dream big. With all the mess around you, you still think I’ll marry you? Keep dreaming."

It was obviously impossible for now.

Gu Qixiao felt a bit helpless. "So you still want to continue running away with the baby?"

He tried to reach for Ji Yu’s hand, but she dodged him.

"That might not be entirely out of the question, but don’t always think things will work out perfectly. I’m the type of person who least likes to be overly optimistic."

There was no need to dwell too much on these matters. Besides, anyone could understand the present situation—feelings cannot be forced, and you can’t use a child to tie someone down.

"I don’t like using such methods to threaten people. I will never resort to such tactics, so rest assured."

To Ji Yu, such tactics were insulting.

"I understand what you’re saying, but I really want to marry you."

From the very beginning, he had been prepared for this. He wanted to marry Ji Yu, though the present situation seemed to be spinning out of his control.

"I’ll take good care of you and the baby. There won’t be any issues. So, can you please not be angry with me?"

He looked at Ji Yu cautiously. Ji Yu felt a little helpless. "You don’t have to use this tone with me. We are equals. Your pursuit of me shouldn’t make things feel so off."

She understood these things clearly. For her, the current situation wasn’t all that important.

"I’m not being overly harsh with you. There’s no need for you to lower yourself too much—it’s unhealthy behavior."

She stared at Gu Qixiao, hoping he could understand these matters.

Gu Qixiao was silent for a moment, then eventually nodded. He truly cared about Ji Yu and her concerns.

"I’ll keep pursuing you and act the way you expect. As for Song Xuan’s issues, I’ll do my best to resolve them."

He didn’t want Song Xuan to continue interfering with their relationship. The matter was too complicated, better to directly send her away.

"Doing things according to your plans is better than anything else."

This could be considered a temporary truce between them. Ji Yu hadn’t forgotten the things she needed to do next, so she decided to let Gu Qixiao leave first.

"You’ll need some time to process this, too. Don’t keep yourself so tense. Not everything has to follow certain rules."

But Ji Yu completely underestimated Gu Qixiao’s hopeless romantic side.

After returning home, Gu Qixiao had already made up his mind to arrange a matchmaking meeting for Song Xuan.

"Xiao, are you joking with me? How could people like them possibly be interested in me? Besides, my heart belongs to you, Xiao."

She thought the situation was utterly absurd. It must’ve been something Ji Yu said earlier, or how else could it have come to this?

"Did Ji Yu say something to you? I knew it! Xiao, you must’ve been bewitched by her. I’m your lifesaver’s younger sister—are you really going to treat me this way?"

They’ve spent so much time together. Could it really all be less meaningful than Ji Yu?

Gu Qixiao didn’t respond. All she got was his cold profile, as though their relationship had been nothing but distant from the beginning.

"Xiao..."

"Did you really think I could love you? When I found you back then, I made it clear—I was repaying a favor, not seeking something romantic between us." Was repaying kindness only through marriage really appropriate?

Clearly, this was wrong.

He certainly wouldn’t resort to such measures.

Song Xuan was momentarily speechless, unsure where things had gone wrong. The "developing feelings over time" strategy she had envisioned wasn’t working.

"Xiao, it’s not like that. We’ve spent so much time together—surely you’ve grown accustomed to having me around. Don’t you feel anything for me?"

"To be honest, all the time we’ve spent together was me paying back a favor to your brother." Gu Qixiao sighed helplessly.
