Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband
Chapter 62: Anxious

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Anxious

After the two left, Song Xuan still seemed very anxious.

Unfortunately, this time nobody was going to indulge her anymore.

"Song Xuan, I told you before, I’ll help you resolve the issue with your face as soon as I can. You don’t trust me?"

Song Xuan paused briefly, "It’s not that I don’t trust Xiao. It’s just the scars on my face have been affecting my emotions. I really don’t know what to do."

But truthfully, she had never been composed about this.

"I’m sorry, Xiao. It’s just that I like you too much. I know with the scars on my face, you definitely won’t marry me."

She looked pitifully at Gu Qixiao, hoping he would understand the underlying meaning.

But Gu Qixiao was already tired of explaining, so he decided not to bother anymore, "Get some rest."

He didn’t want to talk about the topic of marriage any longer.

Speaking of marriage, it made Gu Qixiao think about the promise he made in front of Granny Li before.

"Why..."

Even he didn’t know why he said that at the time.

Meanwhile, Ji Yu had composed herself and took the initiative to meet with Gu Qixiao.

"I can agree to what you mentioned before, but you have to cooperate properly. If there’s any other funny business, don’t blame me for completely backing out."

She was just going to perform a surgery, not participate in some palace intrigue.

Gu Qixiao was overjoyed and naturally agreed to her conditions a hundred thousand times over.

"Alright, as long as you can do this, I’ll definitely find a way to show my gratitude."

Ji Yu didn’t respond, once again realizing that while he seemed caring, this care was meant for a mistress, not anything more.

Thinking about this idea brought a twinge of negativity to Ji Yu’s heart.

"Now that everything is clear, let’s meet again before the surgery. In the meantime, I hope you keep your family member in check."

She didn’t feel the need to say anything more to Gu Qixiao; after all, indulging in such emotions wasn’t helpful.

However, Gu Qixiao felt inexplicably puzzled, "If I’m inviting you for dinner, why not stay and eat before you leave?"

But Ji Yu directly shook her head, "Sorry, I don’t feel like it. I have another appointment. Excuse me."

As she left, she was also thinking about it in her heart: once Song Xuan’s face recovered, they’d probably go straight to marriage.

Thinking of this, Ji Yu couldn’t help but curl her lips into a faint cold smile.

"Well, they do seem like a match."

No matter, they could stop seeing each other after that.

"Yuyu, I’m over here! Why are you walking so slow?" Feng Qinqin spotted Ji Yu and quickly rushed over.

Seeing Ji Yu’s somewhat frosty expression, she grew curious about what was going on.

"What’s wrong? Did someone bully you earlier?"

That didn’t seem right.

Thinking about Ji Yu’s personality, Feng Qinqin felt this situation didn’t seem simple.

But Ji Yu immediately changed the subject, "Nothing. Didn’t you say you wanted to see the concert? We’re going to be late soon."

She had also been dragged along reluctantly.

During this time, Ji Yu had managed to make herself somewhat familiar in the entertainment circle, but she still had to wear a mask when entering venues. Who knows what kind of unpleasant things people would say if they recognized her?

Fate or coincidence, Lu Xingchen happened to be there as well.

"Yu?" He recognized Ji Yu, even with the mask, at a glance.

Ji Yu was a bit surprised, "Xingchen, you’re here too?"

But thinking about it, celebrities in the entertainment industry knowing each other wasn’t so strange.

She didn’t have much curiosity about this event, though Feng Qinqin had already started shipping the CP.

"Emperor Lu, why don’t you sit here next to me? I’ll go over there to snap some photos."

Her excuse came naturally, leaving Ji Yu a bit exasperated.

She also caught Lu Xingchen’s grateful glance.

At this point, Feng Qinqin was totally convinced–this guy truly liked their Yuyu.

She gave Ji Yu an encouraging gesture, quickly leaving to avoid being a third wheel.

"I didn’t expect you’d like rock music."

"I’m here accompanying Qinqin." Honestly, Ji Yu was familiar with all these people.

Whenever she spotted a good-looking face, she couldn’t help but take a second look.

Throughout the event, Ji Yu never dared make any big movements, maintaining a respectable distance from Lu Xingchen, praying they wouldn’t be caught on camera.

But this time, Ji Yu’s prayers came to nothing. The two of them were still photographed and posted online.

[Oh my god, this is so perfect. Watching a concert together? That’s too smooth.]

[Ladies, hand me a bottle of instant heart-relief pills. My CP is so sweet it’s killing me.]

[Take the person above away! All heart-relief pills are sold out today.]

The CP fans, despite it being the holidays, quickly pushed the topic onto the trending list.

Gu Qixiao stared grimly at the trending topic on his phone, thinking about Ji Yu’s "appointment" from earlier, his eyes practically lit on fire.

"President Gu, is there something wrong?"

Assistant Li was puzzled, unsure why Gu Qixiao suddenly erupted in anger.

Was it a message that crossed some line?

Imagining this possibility, Assistant Li decided to act as inconspicuous as possible.

But this time, he couldn’t avoid it.

"Look into the band and Lu Xingchen for me."

He wanted to know exactly how important this "appointment" was, so much so that even dinner couldn’t compete.

At this time, Ji Yu was still unaware she’d been misunderstood, instead complaining to Feng Qinqin about her lack of loyalty earlier.

"How could you leave me alone with Xingchen? If the paparazzi caught us, I’d be splashed across the headlines again."

Feng Qinqin looked at Ji Yu sheepishly.

Ji Yu instantly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after opening her phone, their video was already trending.

For a moment, Ji Yu really wanted to ask those paparazzi how they could even identify her through such blurry footage.

"Yuyu, this is actually a good thing. Look, ever since you distanced yourself from your trashy ex-husband, all the men you’ve met are quality stocks. Lu Xingchen is so handsome!"

Thinking about Lu Xingchen’s smile, her eyes sparkled brightly.

"If you end up getting together with Lu Xingchen, the two of you would definitely have gorgeous kids."

In just moments, Feng Qinqin had already planned out their future family.

Ji Yu rubbed her forehead helplessly, "It’s only because you’re my best friend. Otherwise, I’d make sure to teach you a lesson today."

This kind of talk couldn’t be thrown around so casually.

Besides, Lu Xingchen’s feelings were a bit obvious; the best plan was to avoid dragging him into this.

"You don’t know how lucky you are, Yuyu. If I had your luck in love, I’d be married on the spot!"

Ji Yu was well aware of Feng Qinqin’s obsession with romance. Seeing her enthusiasm for handsome faces had not lessened, Ji Yu was temporarily reassured.

"Yuyu, why don’t we go to a bar tonight? Let me set you up with someone amazing!"

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Ji Yu.

But Ji Yu had trouble on her plate already. Why go to a bar?

"Forget it. The last time you set me up was enough to keep me mortified for life."

Thinking back to that time, Ji Yu couldn’t help but feel second-hand embarrassment.
