Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband
Chapter 77: The Matter of the Child

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: The Matter of the Child

She was still a little angry when she spoke about this matter,

"Yuyu, you have no idea. Back then, I actually wanted to refuse, but when I thought of the financial problems at home, I could only temporarily compromise."

She looked aggrieved as she talked about it but felt she should seriously discuss this person’s character with Ji Yu.

Ji Yu’s lips twitched. "Really? By the way you put it, that does sound rather unreasonable."

Once again, she was torn on what to do about the child.

"Fortunately, your assumption doesn’t hold at all. You two haven’t seen each other in three years. How could you possibly be pregnant?"

Feng Qinqin thought she had found the truth, completely unaware that she had just brushed past it.

This time, she listed quite a few flaws about Gu Qixiao.

Before heading home, she even reminded Ji Yu repeatedly never to get involved with Gu Qixiao, saying she’d surely become foolish if she did.

As a result, after Ji Yu got home, the only thing circling her mind was the word "foolish."

"Yuyu, what’s wrong?"

Madam Ji noticed Ji Yu seemed preoccupied and looked worried about her emotional state.

"Mom, I’ve been thinking about this child. You probably know that the child doesn’t have a father now. After I give birth, I’ll have to raise him alone."

She was fully aware of the challenges the child would face after being born.

"Silly girl, so that’s what’s been troubling you. Even if you don’t want to tell us who the child’s father is, we wouldn’t just randomly find you a husband to help."

They were clear on one thing: Ji Yu’s happiness was the most important.

Who could say what a man might turn out to be in the future?

"Yuyu, this child is innocent, after all. If you want to keep him, it’s completely understandable."

Madam Ji gently ran her hand over Ji Yu’s belly, her eyes filled with tenderness for the child. "I know what’s weighing on your mind, but since this child is already here, isn’t it also a little surprise? If you want to keep him, then don’t hesitate."

She hoped Ji Yu could follow her heart.

Ji Yu was moved by this warmth. "Mom, thank you."

All her lingering doubts seemed to have nearly dissolved after this conversation with Madam Ji.

She now felt much clearer about what she needed to do moving forward.

"Silly girl, this is just my advice. What you choose to do next is up to you. It’s your decision whether to keep the child or not, but we’ll always be here to help."

There was no way they’d abandon her in this situation.

Ji Yu leaned against Madam Ji’s shoulder, feeling the comforting warmth of her mother.

Was this what it felt like to be a mother?

She was beginning to feel reluctant to give up on the child.

"Now that you’re about to become a mom, go get some proper rest."

Madam Ji stroked Ji Yu’s hair and urged her to head back to her room.

By this point, Ji Yu had made up her mind. Moving forward, she’d just coexist peacefully with Gu Qixiao. Even if he couldn’t know that the child was his, at the very least, she could try to be amicable with him.

But little did she expect that Gu Qixiao would pull a big stunt.

"Sister Yu, President Gu is in your office."

Tian gently reminded Ji Yu.

Ji Yu didn’t think much of it, assuming that Gu Qixiao was just up to his usual antics.

"I got it." She was already prepared to deal with another round of roses.

But this time, Gu Qixiao clearly switched up his tactics.

"Yu, these are all for you."

Looking at the room filled with flowers, Ji Yu’s temples throbbed slightly. She felt like the sheer sight of it was suffocating her.

"Are you planning to open a flower shop in my office?"

Was this really how he planned to pursue someone?

Just as Feng Qinqin had mentioned before—he really did lack any sense.

"Do you think anyone would actually like this?"

Frankly, it was a relief if people didn’t outright hate such behavior.

Gu Qixiao frowned, clearly unable to see the problem. "You don’t like it? You said you don’t like roses. Today, I brought other flowers for you to choose from. I can bring different ones next time."

All these flowers had been flown in from abroad.

But as Ji Yu looked at them, she didn’t feel the least bit touched—just an overwhelming urge to hit someone.

"When I said I don’t like roses, did I mean I dislike just roses?"

She was seething.

Yet nothing about this seemed to get through to Gu Qixiao.

"Surely, it’s not me you dislike."

He seemed utterly confident.

Ji Yu gave him a sarcastic smile. "What an unfortunate coincidence. You’re the person I dislike the most."

And with all these flowers crammed into one place, Ji Yu could feel a sneeze coming on. "Get all this out of here, now!"

If he left these any longer, was he trying to kill her?

Ji Yu was on the verge of breaking down.

There were plenty of onlookers outside, thinking that this President Gu had truly gone too far.

"Since these are for you, it’s up to you what to do with them. If you don’t like them, give everyone a bouquet. I’ll stop sending flowers, but you absolutely can’t refuse to have dinner with me."

He had already planned this out. Even if Ji Yu didn’t like the flowers, she would enjoy spending time with him.

Ji Yu’s head throbbed with annoyance.

At just the right moment, Lu Xingchen came to see Ji Yu, only to walk into this scene.

"Yu, what’s this?"

His gaze fell on Gu Qixiao, curiosity and scrutiny in his eyes as he tried to figure out what this man was up to.

Gu Qixiao let him stare, having already identified Lu Xingchen as a rival. Ji Yu might not have noticed it, but as her pursuer, Gu Qixiao could clearly tell who his competitor was.

"A stranger." Ji Yu’s words were ruthless, as if she didn’t know Gu Qixiao at all.

Gu Qixiao looked somewhat hurt, his eyes filled with disbelief as he gazed at Ji Yu. "Yu, if you don’t like the flowers, I can bring different ones. But how could you say you don’t like me?"

He thought about everything that had happened between them, convinced that Ji Yu was just being stubborn and denying her true feelings.

Truth be told, Ji Yu’s feelings toward Gu Qixiao had been slowly improving over time. Seeing his expression now, she found herself struggling a bit.

"You need to calm down. President Gu, sometimes what you think is affection might just be an illusion. Besides, you haven’t resolved your family issues yet, so don’t go looking for trouble elsewhere—it’ll just make things difficult for others."

She didn’t want to get entangled in petty disputes with Song Xuan.

Fighting over a man? Just not worth it.

At the mention of Song Xuan, Gu Qixiao immediately understood what Ji Yu was referring to. His face grew tense. "I can explain about Song Xuan, but you—"

Before he could finish, his hand moved instinctively, pulling Ji Yu to the side.

A knife nicked Gu Qixiao’s arm, leaving a shallow cut.

Only then did everyone notice that somehow, a stranger had snuck into the crowd.

The woman, realizing she’d been exposed, tried to run but was swiftly subdued by Lu Xingchen, who grabbed her arm.

"Who are you? Why are you trying to hurt Yu?"

Lu Xingchen couldn’t make sense of the situation. Concerned that Ji Yu might be in further danger, he stood protectively in front of her.
