Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband
Chapter 70: Beginning the Pursuit

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Beginning the Pursuit

He handed the roses to Ji Yu, his demeanor as serious as if he were signing an important contract.

Ji Yu’s expression turned complicated. "Are you really Gu Qixiao?"

This abrupt change in attitude—there was definitely something fishy going on.

Her gaze at Gu Qixiao carried suspicion.

But Gu Qixiao remained sincere. "You told me you’re single. That gives me the right to pursue you."

"I have a child." Ji Yu was left speechless by his remark.

After all, it hadn’t been easy to keep this ex-husband in the dark for so long. Even fools deserve a chance to survive.

"We can discuss the child later," Gu Qixiao acknowledged the child’s existence but couldn’t help feeling sorry for the child.

Of course, his priority now was to pursue Ji Yu.

Ji Yu just felt that there was something wrong with Gu Qixiao’s head; otherwise, how could he say something like this?

"Weren’t you always speaking on behalf of my ex-husband? Why the sudden interest in being with me today?"

Her gaze was tinged with doubt, but more than anything, she found the whole situation amusing.

After all, the two of them indeed had a history that was tangled and complicated.

But under the current circumstances, Ji Yu was absolutely not going to agree.

"You’d better go back to wherever you came from. Besides, there’s someone still lying in that hospital bed—you should at least consider the matter."

If this really became a thing, wouldn’t everyone be annoyed?

Ji Yu kept her composure, deciding not to dwell on the issue anymore.

But Gu Qixiao, inexplicably stubborn, fixated on the topic. "If you won’t accept me, at least give me a reason. I can change."

He acted as though he were deeply passionate.

"What reason? I’m just cunning, and maybe I’m not a good match for President Gu. Besides, the people around you are rather complicated—I don’t want to get entangled with people like that."

Ji Yu had made herself clear before and remembered Gu Qixiao’s suspicions about her. She calmly rejected him again.

"Don’t waste your energy on me. I don’t like people like you. And by the way, Song Xuan can already be discharged—you’d better take her away quickly."

If Song Xuan saw such a scene at the hospital, who knew how much of a fuss she’d make?

After finishing her piece, Ji Yu didn’t even bother to look at the flowers and immediately turned to leave, showing how indifferent she was about the whole affair.

But Gu Qixiao couldn’t bring himself to be as carefree.

"President Gu, maybe it’s better to let this one go?"

Assistant Li also found the matter unpromising. Their boss had performed so poorly before; it’d be tough for him to rebound now.

"Go pick up Song Xuan from the hospital."

Gu Qixiao was helpless when it came to Song Xuan and wasn’t planning to feed her unrealistic expectations either.

This left Assistant Li in a tight spot, his gaze toward Gu Qixiao growing more aggrieved by the moment.

"Miss Song might be upset if she doesn’t see you."

He was being tactful—everyone knew Song Xuan would go berserk if she didn’t see Gu Qixiao.

In fact, Song Xuan had already started losing it. After confirming that Gu Qixiao had feelings for Ji Yu, she had contacted some people to go after Ji Yu. That way, no one would ever take her Xiao away from her again.

"Once you’re ready, move ahead with the plan. No matter what, Ji Yu must not get away."

She spoke viciously into the phone. She had wanted to target Ji Yu before, but she had managed to stay calm then. Now that she knew Gu Qixiao genuinely liked Ji Yu, there was no way she’d sit by quietly.

When Assistant Li arrived to pick her up, Song Xuan seemed unusually calm—no tears, no tantrums.

For a moment, this unsettled Assistant Li. "Miss Song, you probably won’t see President Gu for a while after you return home. He’s been quite busy lately managing other matters."

"Then take me to the company," she insisted, determined to keep tabs on Gu Qixiao.

But Gu Qixiao wasn’t at the company at all, leaving Assistant Li unsure how to respond.

"President Gu said you should go home and rest. Your facial injuries are healing nicely, and it’s best you stay away from sunlight for now."

Unexpectedly, Song Xuan didn’t put up a fight.

This left Assistant Li even more bewildered, convinced that something wasn’t right.

But there was no way to say for certain that a person being quiet had to mean trouble.

So, he decided to relay the news to Gu Qixiao.

Gu Qixiao was still lingering outside Renewal Clinic, clearly preoccupied and unable to deal with the Song Xuan ordeal.

From a distance, he spotted Ji Yu seemingly chatting with someone, almost instinctively trying to see who was beside her.

"Yu, it seems someone is watching you from over there."

Lu Xingchen had come to visit Ji Yu, and seeing someone observing her from afar, he grew concerned for her safety.

Ji Yu chuckled. "Don’t worry about it—I know who it is."

What was wrong with Gu Qixiao today? Did he have a screw loose? Otherwise, why waste his precious time on this?

"You know them?" Lu Xingchen vaguely felt the person looked familiar but couldn’t recall where he’d seen them before.

"I wouldn’t say I know him—let’s just say he used to have patients here, so he’s a family member of one of my patients."

She sincerely hoped those two stayed together for life, sparing others from their trouble.

Still, dealing with them before had been exasperating enough for Ji Yu.

"Since he’s a patient’s family, why not invite him over to join the conversation? Maybe there’s something else he wants to discuss."

Lu Xingchen’s suggestion was purely well-intentioned.

But Ji Yu was already fed up with everything. "Forget it, that guy’s brain might have some issues. I’d rather not bother."

If the topic shifted to her child, Ji Yu wouldn’t know how to handle it.

"By the way, Xingchen, is there something specific you wanted to talk about today?"

She assumed Lu Xingchen wanted to discuss her facial treatment.

"Not really. I just wanted to invite you out for a meal. Don’t worry—this time, no one will know we’re there."

His gaze at Ji Yu radiated anticipation.

Ji Yu didn’t overthink it. She figured this was also a perfect chance to shake off Gu Qixiao, so she straightforwardly agreed.

"I’ll let you treat me, then."

The two walked out of Renewal Clinic, brushing past Gu Qixiao.

Gu Qixiao didn’t even get a chance to greet them before being completely ignored.

He stared in disbelief at Ji Yu’s retreating figure, feeling that something was seriously off.

"Ji Yu, stop right there!" He wasn’t going to let Ji Yu leave with someone else.

Ji Yu furrowed her brows, her impatience apparent. "President Gu, could you please take a good look at the situation? I’ve already tied up the loose ends for you—why are you still pestering me?"

Who wouldn’t feel irritated witnessing this?

Besides, Ji Yu had already told him time and again that they weren’t compatible.

She couldn’t outright reveal to Gu Qixiao that he was the "ex-husband" she had mentioned earlier, so she resorted to this method to convey her disdain instead.
