Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband
Chapter 68 Favorability

Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Favorability

He was already quite sure that his feelings for Ji Yu were not innocent.

He clutched his rapidly beating heart, unable to stop thinking about every moment he had spent with Ji Yu.

In the end, he faced a cruel reality: Ji Yu didn’t seem to have much affection for him.

With this thought in mind, he didn’t sleep a wink all night.

By the time he arrived at the company the next morning, dark circles were evident under his eyes.

"President Gu, could it be that you didn’t sleep well last night because of Miss Song’s situation?"

Assistant Li was concerned about Gu Qixiao’s condition, but also wanted to quickly resolve the issue with Song Xuan.

"You take care of it. If she keeps causing trouble, just send her straight back home."

He was already fed up with the matter. He had previously advised her to behave, to stop acting out, yet now her actions were growing increasingly outrageous.

Assistant Li hesitated. "President Gu, someone of my insignificant status might not be able to make Miss Song listen to me."

"If she refuses, then just send her home directly. Do I really need to teach you how to handle this?" Gu Qixiao was used to dealing with such situations.

After all, Song Xuan had displayed this kind of attitude more than once before, and he was nearly driven mad by it.

With a sigh, Assistant Li had no choice but to give it a try, though the result was predictable.

"I want to see Xiao! Who do you think you are to talk to me like this?"

Though insulted, Assistant Li dared not show his anger, fully aware of the high regard Song Xuan held in Gu Qixiao’s heart.

So, he simply recorded a video and sent it to Gu Qixiao.

Having no other choice, Gu Qixiao had to come in person to see what was happening.

"Xiao, you finally came."

The moment he appeared, Song Xuan tearfully clung to his arm, looking as though she had been gravely wronged.

"Song Xuan, I’ve told you many times—Assistant Li is my personal assistant, not your servant. Why can’t you understand this every time?"

Seeing how Song Xuan treated Assistant Li, a trace of displeasure flickered in his heart.

But Song Xuan showed no intention of explaining herself. "Xiao, I know it must be Ji Yu who’s responsible for what happened to my face. She’s so malicious—she must want us to spend money at her hospital."

She was utterly convinced of her own reasoning.

Handing over the cosmetic surgeon’s details to Gu Qixiao, she continued tearfully, "Xiao, this surgeon is Ji Yu’s senior colleague. They must have had contact long before this."

She poured out her grievances, her heart heavy with resentment.

But Gu Qixiao couldn’t wrap his head around her logic at all.

"Didn’t you go to that hospital on your own?"

The beauty clinic was her choice—how could it possibly have anything to do with Ji Yu?

"Besides, you should be very clear that Doctor Ji warned you earlier not to seek surgery from others. Did you listen to her?"

No matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t believe that Ji Yu had anything to do with this.

After all, he already had a clear understanding of the previous events.

The cosmetic clinic was Song Xuan’s own decision, and now she was trying to put the blame on Ji Yu. How could such a logic hold?

"But they’re colleagues! Why didn’t Ji Yu tell me about this before? It’s because she’s guilty—she’s hiding something! Xiao, don’t you believe me?"

Her hatred for Ji Yu ran deep, so there was no chance she’d say anything favorable about her.

Yet Gu Qixiao still didn’t believe a word Song Xuan said.

The atmosphere grew awkward.

This only strengthened Song Xuan’s belief that Gu Qixiao must secretly have feelings for Ji Yu. Otherwise, why would he say such things?

"Xiao, are you falling for Ji Yu? How can you like someone like her? Is it just because she’s prettier than me?"

She had always been sensitive about her appearance.

Seeing Gu Qixiao’s reaction today only reinforced her conviction.

"This has nothing to do with appearances."

Even if Ji Yu’s face were scarred, his feelings for her wouldn’t change.

Not to mention, he had never despised the scars on Song Xuan’s face.

"Song Xuan, you need to understand—I only see you as a sister. The possibilities you’re talking about simply don’t exist."

There was no need for any comparison between them.

Looking at Song Xuan, his eyes were filled with helplessness but carried none of the affection she desired.

At this moment, Song Xuan’s patience had reached its limit.

She couldn’t accept that this had nothing to do with Ji Yu.

"It must be Ji Yu’s fault! That’s why you’re rejecting me, isn’t it? Xiao, you weren’t like this before."

Despair filled her eyes.

And even more, an overwhelming hatred toward Ji Yu.

"I’ve already told you—this has nothing to do with Doctor Ji. I never said I would marry you, not even from the beginning."

He had explained this countless times, but Song Xuan never listened.

Maybe she had clung to hope before, thinking it was because of her face. But now, that hope had shattered, leaving nothing but debris.

She refused to believe the outcome.

She threw herself at Gu Qixiao, holding on tightly. "Xiao, you can’t just abandon me like this!"

She clung desperately to his hand, but Gu Qixiao only let out a defeated sigh. "I don’t have those feelings for you. I’ve made it clear before—it’s you who keeps holding on."

Looking at her, Gu Qixiao’s face showed only weariness and frustration, his heart having already grown numb to the situation.

"Xiao, how can you do this to me? You *will* love me. We’ve been together all this time—you *must* have feelings for me. You’re just blinded by Ji Yu’s beauty!"

She had managed to cling to this reasoning—it was her last excuse to hold on.

"And didn’t you once say you’d take care of me? Have you forgotten that you owe me a life? My brother died saving you, Xiao!"

At her words, Assistant Li couldn’t help but mutter, "Even if your brother were alive, he wouldn’t have been able to provide you with such a life."

Over the years, the lifestyle she enjoyed was surely enough to repay that debt.

Gu Qixiao never intended to abandon Song Xuan—he only ever saw her as a younger sister.

"Song Xuan, you need to understand that the bond between us is purely sibling-like. What I owe your brother, I will repay, but it won’t be through this kind of arrangement."

He wasn’t noble enough to sacrifice his own lifetime of happiness as repayment for a debt of gratitude.

Gently wiping away her tears, he softly said, "Get some rest. Your face still needs recovery—crying too much might cause complications."

But this tenderness was no more than the concern of an older brother.

In this moment, Song Xuan’s hatred swelled to its fullest.

"Xiao, can’t you learn to love me? You don’t even have someone you like—why can’t we give it a try?"

She lowered her expectations again and again, desperate only for Gu Qixiao to look her way.
