Chapter 134: Chapter 134: So That’s How It Is

Ji Yu didn’t want to dwell on the matter, but Gu Qixiao wasn’t about to let it go so easily.

"Are you serious about what you said?"

He looked at Zhang Boyu with some impatience in his eyes, "Already had a girlfriend and still discussing marriage arrangements with me earlier?"

From the start, he felt that Zhang Boyu looked familiar, and now he finally remembered who he was.

The last time they searched for a fiancé for Song Xuan, it seemed he was involved too.

Zhang Boyu’s expression became a little awkward. "It was all family pressure. I didn’t have a choice."

"You’re real good at wrapping ’irresponsibility’ in pretty words. You and this lady make a perfect match," Ji Yu bluntly exposed his excuse.

Initially, she just wanted to find out what happened, but with this sudden twist, nobody would take it lying down.

"Let’s go. Whatever happens between them isn’t any of our business."

She didn’t want to waste her time here.

Seeing that Ji Yu was okay, Gu Qixiao finally pulled Ji Yu away and left.

But just as they stepped outside, Ji Yu shook off his wrist. "President Gu, watch your image. If someone sees us like this, wouldn’t they start talking about the two of us being involved?"

Things like this shouldn’t go on.

Gu Qixiao wasn’t angry, instead he nonchalantly grabbed Ji Yu’s other wrist. "This way, no one can say anything."

"How is this any different?"

"It’s completely different," Gu Qixiao’s eyes carried a quiet amusement, as if he had thought of something delightful.

"This way, everyone will see that it was me initiating. Even if rumors spread online, no one would dare criticize you."

From beginning to end, he never intended for Ji Yu to be hurt by this.

Ji Yu raised an eyebrow but chose not to argue further, letting Gu Qixiao lead her to the car.

"Aren’t you curious enough to go find Feng Qinqin and ask what’s really going on?"

He had overheard parts of what happened earlier. A canceled engagement ceremony out of nowhere was certainly intriguing.

Ji Yu massaged her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Honestly, I’m more worried about what her family will say."

She wasn’t concerned about Feng Qinqin’s married life. At least in Ji Yu’s eyes, these decisions were Feng Qinqin’s own, but the Feng family’s reaction was the real issue.

"Please take me to the Feng family’s place. If things get heated, at least I can help smooth things over."

She couldn’t bear to let Feng Qinqin deal with this alone.

Gu Qixiao followed her request and drove Ji Yu to the Feng family’s house.

Upon seeing Ji Yu, Feng Qinqin’s expression became complicated, even tinged with embarrassment.

"Qinqin, I heard you canceled your engagement?"

"Mm." Feng Qinqin hesitated. Truthfully, she didn’t know how to explain and could only cautiously glance at Ji Yu.

Gu Qixiao found her gaze curious. "Why are you looking at Yu after canceling your engagement?"

At this point, Gu Qixiao was already imagining various dramatic scenarios in his head, like Feng Qinqin realizing at the last moment that the person she truly loved was Ji Yu.

"I’m talking to Yuyu. Should I be looking at you instead?"

Feng Qinqin rolled her eyes, but at least she seemed less tense than before.

"Yuyu, do you think my situation right now is really that bad? Is getting married truly such a great achievement?"

She didn’t see anything good about it.

"For everyone, marriage means something different. Uncle Feng’s illness—I can understand his feelings, but more than anything, I want you to be well."

As Feng Qinqin’s close friend, Ji Yu hoped none of this would trouble her too much.

Feng Qinqin sighed. "Speaking of which, I haven’t even explained it to you. My dad actually isn’t sick at all. When he heard about the canceled engagement this morning, he literally jumped out of bed."

She should have suspected it sooner.

"For someone like him to fake being sick, it just shows how desperate he is to marry me off."

She couldn’t help but vent.

Ji Yu was dumbfounded. "So what’s the situation now?"

How did this suddenly become so complicated?

"It’s still all my dad stirring things up. Anyway, I don’t want to get engaged for now, and I already have someone I like. I’m not going to consider any marriage arrangements for the time being."

Ji Yu was surprised. "You already have someone you like?"

She hadn’t noticed a thing.

"Yeah, but I don’t even know what they think about me. I’m waiting for an answer. This whole ordeal at least gave me some breathing room."

She had finally sorted out her feelings and was determined not to blindly rush to get engaged.

Though Ji Yu was astonished at first, she supported Feng Qinqin’s decision. "If it’s love, then be brave—it’s no big deal."

Nearby, Gu Qixiao started to feel uncomfortable, his suspicions rising about Feng Qinqin’s peculiar gaze toward Ji Yu. He even began wondering if Feng Qinqin harbored feelings for Ji Yu.

"Even if you have someone you like, you should mind the gender. Judging from your family’s stance, it’s unlikely they’d ever approve of you being with a woman."

He tried giving her a heads-up.

Feng Qinqin rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Yuyu, you better stop hanging around idiots. What if you start catching their stupidity?"

It was clear she had thoroughly labeled Gu Qixiao as a fool; nothing else could explain the absurdity he just spouted.

Ji Yu was amused by her and laughed outright. "Your gaze toward me today does feel a little off. Does the person you like have something to do with me?"

This sort of situation intrigued Ji Yu quite a bit.

Feng Qinqin lowered her head, ultimately choosing not to reveal who she liked. "Yuyu, let me think it over, then I’ll tell you. I really don’t know how to talk about it yet."

She had wanted to tell Ji Yu before but decided it wasn’t the right moment.

Since Feng Qinqin refused to say more, Ji Yu didn’t push her. "Then give it your best shot and see what happens. Uncle Feng will likely take your feelings into consideration as well."

Feng Qinqin sighed. "Hopefully that’ll be the case. Yuyu, don’t worry about my love life, but you should definitely cut ties with Gu Qixiao. Spending too much time with someone like him will rot your brain."

She whispered quietly into Ji Yu’s ear.

Gu Qixiao’s veins were practically bulging as he forced a polite smile. "Do you think you’re whispering quietly?"

Leaning into Ji Yu while speaking at that volume was laughably pointless.

Ji Yu was amused by their antics and knew they were only joking, so she didn’t take their words to heart.

"If there’s anything you need, come find me. Don’t waste energy arguing with your family. Uncle Feng may want you to marry soon, but he definitely won’t force you to be with someone you don’t like."

She only wished the best for her dear friend to find happiness.
