Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband
Chapter 86: Prayers and Questions

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Prayers and Questions

Gu Qixiao had long since understood Song Xuan’s intentions.

Now, it was only natural to maintain a certain distance from her.

Song Xuan clenched her fist. "Xiao, you could have just told me. I would definitely have given you my blessing. It’s just that I don’t know if Doctor Ji is aware that you’ve been divorced."

She knew someone like Ji Yu would definitely care about such a matter.

Gu Qixiao frowned, pondering whether Ji Yu truly knew about this.

Based on Ji Yu’s past reactions, she probably did.

"I’ll make things clear to her."

Perhaps he was also worried that Ji Yu would continue to misunderstand.

The next morning, Gu Qixiao was waiting downstairs at Ji Yu’s apartment.

When Ji Yu saw him, she was quite surprised. "Why are you here?"

So early in the morning, doesn’t he need to go to work?

"I want to ask you a question. Would you mind that I’ve been divorced?"

Suddenly being asked such a thing by her ex-husband, Ji Yu momentarily couldn’t quite wrap her head around it.

"What does your divorce have to do with me?"

To be honest, Ji Yu didn’t quite understand this line of thinking.

Why would he think his divorce had any connection to her?

"Honestly, I don’t see any issue with it. Only someone who likes you would care about such a thing, and there’s nothing like that between us."

After all, their relationship was merely that of ex-spouses.

Ji Yu didn’t even know how to respond properly.

Gu Qixiao frowned. "You just need to say whether you mind or not. Things between me and my ex-wife aren’t as complicated as you might think."

He wanted to explain the situation concerning his ex-wife to Ji Yu.

But Ji Yu didn’t want to hear it.

"I know what you’re trying to say—nothing but the usual: it was arranged by your family, and there were no feelings between you two."

As Gu Qixiao’s ex-wife, how could she not know these things?

Thankfully, Gu Qixiao didn’t know the truth—otherwise, wouldn’t the awkwardness be unbearable?

Meeting someone you’ve never even seen before, and then suddenly declaring you like them—who wouldn’t find that shocking?

"To be honest, I think divorce is a completely normal thing. Don’t you know the current divorce rate is so high?"

She looked at Gu Qixiao with a hint of exasperation, hoping he’d learn to understand this.

Gu Qixiao hadn’t expected Ji Yu to be so understanding about his ex-wife and didn’t know what to say to her.

"Do you trust me?"

"Trust you? How could I not trust you?" She was standing right there—how could she not trust him?

These past three years, she knew better than anyone else how things had been.

"Can you please let go of my hand, President Gu? If you keep holding on like this, I might have to call the police on you."

Thinking back on past events infuriated her—especially factoring in that child issue. One could only say this man genuinely had some screws loose.

Gu Qixiao obediently let go, speculating that Ji Yu might not believe him, which explained her reaction. He had no idea that Ji Yu was actually his long-lost ex-wife.

Because of this, Ji Yu didn’t see Gu Qixiao for the next week.

If she saw him, she would go out of her way to avoid him.

"Yu, why are you avoiding me?" Gu Qixiao blocked Ji Yu’s path, demanding an explanation.

"Maybe I just don’t like divorced men. Sure, I’ve been divorced too, but I won’t accept my partner being divorced."

Ji Yu spoke with a touch of sarcasm.

Even her small face carried an expression of mockery, clearly growing more irritated by the situation.

Gu Qixiao was struck silent. "But..."

He couldn’t find an excuse. After all, being divorced wasn’t something he could undo.

"You don’t need to say more. It’s normal. Let’s just keep things as they are."

She maintained her usual easy smile, but Gu Qixiao was already starting to crack under the strain.

It felt as though the current situation was digging right into his chest, tearing at his heart.

"What do I need to do for you to not care about it?"

"I will always care." With that, Ji Yu turned and got into Feng Qinqin’s car without looking back.

Feng Qinqin had been watching the drama unfold and couldn’t suppress her laughter.

"This is just too funny. Your ex-husband really isn’t all there, is he? I mean, listen to the nonsense he’s saying."

Ji Yu sighed. "Stop making fun of me already. This whole situation is ridiculous."

She didn’t even know what to say anymore. It really was a messy situation, and she had no idea when she could finally resolve everything concerning Gu Qixiao.

"Yuyu, are you sure you don’t like this Gu Qixiao? When I see the two of you talk, it feels like there’s a certain closeness."

Usually, Ji Yu would never talk to anyone like that. Besides, earlier, when Gu Qixiao had grabbed her hand, she didn’t seem to resist instinctively.

"How could that be? Me liking my ex-husband? Wouldn’t that be a joke?"

Feng Qinqin nodded in agreement. "You’re right. It’s just me overthinking. But seriously, you should try to keep your distance from him. If all else fails, just tell him the truth about who you are."

At the very least, Gu Qixiao would be the one feeling awkward then.

Ji Yu only had to imagine that scene to feel secondhand embarrassment. "Forget it. It’s already in the past, and I don’t want to make things more awkward."

To be honest, she hadn’t yet mastered the art of "hurting the enemy a thousand times at the cost of eight hundred wounds to herself." If she were to reveal the truth to Gu Qixiao, it’d inevitably affect her as well.

"Fine, if you don’t want to say it, no one’s going to force you. It just means I get to keep watching the drama. That’s fun for me too."

After all, this might be a bit of karmic payback for that previous business deal when Gu Qixiao had so decisively cut ties.

"By the way, has Cai Xun come to find you recently?"

Ji Yu hadn’t forgotten Cai Xun’s attitude back then.

This latest deal had hit a snag, and she was certain he must be feeling the pressure by now.

"He probably doesn’t even have the nerve to show his face. Maybe he’ll lay low for a while before resurfacing to pull his cons again."

She had long since seen Cai Xun’s true colors and felt no sympathy for him.

Sometimes, it really seemed like if you talk about someone too much, they’ll appear.

Just as the two of them were discussing Cai Xun, they spotted him at the restaurant while they were eating.

"Rest assured, this deal is absolutely foolproof. And besides, with you backing us, there’s no reason for us to think otherwise."

That tone sounded so familiar.

Both Feng Qinqin and Ji Yu had heard it before. So, they decided to sit at the table next to him instead.

Listening to his words, they both couldn’t help but suppress their laughter.

"That guy is as shameless as ever. Who knows who he’s trying to scam this time?"

Completely oblivious to their presence, Cai Xun was enthusiastically pitching his case to the person across from him.
