Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Arrogant

Ji Yu was quite laid-back about this matter, knowing that Hong had likely arranged everything already, so she felt at ease.

However, Cai Xun, perhaps sensing something, occasionally glanced at Ji Yu when faced with the situation.

Only when he confirmed Ji Yu was fine would he relax and go back to sleep.

After this repeated a few times, Ji Yu found it amusing.

"You don’t even have the guts for this, so why do you keep doing things like this?"

It just ended up revealing to everyone how timid he was, which was completely unnecessary.

Especially in times like this, Ji Yu couldn’t quite understand what kind of personality would lead someone to make such a decision.

He let out a cold snort, "Ji Yu, someone like you will never understand my struggles. You have everything, but I have nothing. I have to fight for it myself."

Countless times, he wanted to let go of these matters, but during those times, it seemed like no one ever intended to let go of him.

"Do you even believe the words you’re saying? Didn’t Qinqin treat you well before? You’re the one who created this mess, causing your relationship to fall apart."

He had caused his own trouble but acted as if others were to blame.

Ji Yu couldn’t fully grasp these things.

And yet, he couldn’t understand Ji Yu’s words either, just like his current behavior reflected.

Several times, he wanted to refute Ji Yu, but he didn’t know what words to use.

"If I’m not mistaken, your so-called explosives are fake, right? Considering how far you’ve fallen, it’s impossible for you to have such things."

Cai Xun casually tossed the items tied to him aside. "Even if you know now, it doesn’t matter. Look at the state you’re in—how could anyone come to save you?"

"Is that so?"

She didn’t say another word, but it left Cai Xun uneasy, sensing something off about the situation in front of him.

As for what would come next, Ji Yu wanted to see how he would behave in the end.

It turned out Hong and the others were incredibly efficient.

Once they confirmed Ji Yu’s safety, the police took just two shots to disable Cai Xun’s arm.

The crowd rushed forward. Watching the scene unfold, Ji Yu felt an internal calm.

"I told you from the beginning that a tactic like this would never succeed."

The final outcome was exactly as she’d predicted.

She stood coldly not far away, with someone coming over to check on her, while Cai Xun was handcuffed with cold steel.

He became utterly hysterical. "Ji Yu, you’ll never have a happy ending! You’ll face retribution!"

"Yu, you don’t need to listen to this kind of talk," Gu Qixiao said, entirely unaffected by the curse.

Everyone with eyes knew what had happened before. How could they possibly let Ji Yu carry the blame?

"I’m not bothered by such curses. At this point, he’s only doing this to grab some attention. Frankly, these clumsy tricks are completely unnecessary to me."

She was more concerned about the baby. She’d already felt some discomfort in her stomach earlier and needed to go to the hospital to find out what was going on.

"I’m going to the hospital to get my wounds dressed. None of you need to come with me."

At this moment, she didn’t need anyone.

But Ji Yuanzhou was insistent, "Yu, you might not want others there, but I have to go with you. I’m your brother; there’s no way I won’t take care of you."

He’d said before that no matter what decision Ji Yu made, he would support her.

Now, seeing the circumstances, he guessed that Ji Yu’s stomach was bothering her, so he offered to accompany her.

To be honest, Ji Yu felt a mix of emotions, unsure what to do to resolve the immediate trouble in front of her.

"In that case, why not have everyone go together?"

"Do as you please." She was really only worried about the baby. As for their thoughts, they had nothing to do with her.

The results came out quickly. The doctor looked at the two men in front of her, puzzled. "Which one of you is the child’s father?"

"I am." Gu Qixiao claimed the role without hesitation.

He listened intently to the instructions on the side.

"Your wife needs to rest properly for a period of time due to her condition. She shouldn’t do any strenuous activities. It’s fortunate that her body is relatively strong; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to save the child."

As the doctor mentioned this, she looked at him with some reproach. "How are you taking care of a pregnant wife? You need to be more attentive with pregnant women."

Gu Qixiao accepted the admonition openly, while Ji Yuanzhou clenched his brows in frustration.

However, as the two of them left, Ji Yuanzhou brought it up. "Yu’s child has nothing to do with you. I hope you mind your words and don’t ruin Yu’s reputation."

He couldn’t stand Gu Qixiao no matter what.

Speaking of the past, Gu Qixiao had always been with Song Xuan. That alone made Ji Yuanzhou think Gu Qixiao was unworthy of such affection as this.

Gu Qixiao frowned. "Whether or not the child is mine has nothing to do with you. And I hope you come to terms with your position—brother will always just be brother."

This spot was his alone to occupy. Furthermore, Ji Yuanzhou’s actions were obvious—his feelings couldn’t be hidden. Gu Qixiao had to remain vigilant.

"Whether or not I’m the brother doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’ll never be the father of that child."

Even though Gu Qixiao wanted to tell him the truth, seeing Ji Yu’s feelings toward the child, he ultimately chose to stay quiet for now.

If something really happened to Ji Yu because of this, it would not be good.

Ji Yu had no idea about the scheming going on between the two men. At the moment, her focus was still on the baby.

When she saw the two of them return, she couldn’t help but feel resigned. "Are you two planning to stay at the hospital indefinitely? I’m fine. You can head back now."

She felt she could manage just fine on her own.

Gu Qixiao ignored Ji Yu’s words and sat down directly on a chair nearby. "Since you’re not feeling well, just take a good rest and stop worrying about unnecessary things."

He would always stay by Ji Yu’s side, ensuring she wouldn’t suffer any more grievances.

Ji Yu frowned, unable to make sense of the situation before her. "What are you doing?"

She suspected Gu Qixiao was projecting himself onto another role. "I haven’t even decided to be with you. You don’t need to look after me. I can hire a caregiver. Don’t you have work to do?"

This incident had made Ji Yu realize that even the best relationships could turn into an entangled mess. Perhaps staying single was better.

"Since I’ve decided to pursue you, I must do my best. Even if you want to drive me away, I won’t leave."
