Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Nemesis

"I know you don’t care, but that doesn’t stop me from explaining everything clearly."

There were many things she cared about, but it seemed most of them had no resolution.

"And regarding what you said about my marriage and divorce, I also want to clarify that I had no idea about the marriage at the time, and during the divorce, I never even met her."

He still felt a lingering sense of guilt toward this so-called ex-wife.

"I know I owe this ex-wife, but I have no idea where I could even find her."

To him, this situation seemed like one big blur.

Ji Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, her heart wavering. Gu Qixiao’s expression was indeed one of sincerity—could a person like him really lie?

"Everything I’ve said is true. I have no intention of deceiving you. You can ask me about anything you’re doubtful of."

She stayed silent, appearing as though she were deliberating over something.

Her delicate face carried an undeniable trace of helplessness.

"You don’t need to feel helpless over my matters. I’m fully aware of what I’m doing."

Since everything had now been organized, there was no need to discuss anything further.

"I have nothing else to ask."

"That’s not right. Ever since you left the police station, you’ve been distant and indifferent toward me. There’s definitely some issue here." He sounded suspicious about the matter.

But Ji Yu insisted there was nothing wrong.

"You don’t need to overthink it. I’ve decided to go back and get some proper rest. Let this matter come to an end."

"What about my contact information, then?" He hadn’t forgotten he was still stuck in her blocklist.

"I’ve already restored it." Ji Yu knew that if she didn’t unblock him, this matter would never come to an end.

For now, her doubts about Gu Qixiao were temporarily dispelled.

"Let me take you home." He wasn’t entirely comfortable letting Ji Yu leave on her own.

"No need. I’ve already called for a driver; he’s waiting outside. Honestly, you don’t need to be so emotional over this incident."

But how could someone not feel emotional when dealing with someone they liked?

"I understand how seriously you’ve taken this, which is exactly why I want to explain it to you so earnestly. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with explaining things to you—I like being upfront with you."

At the very least, it’s better than allowing misunderstandings to linger.

Ji Yu raised her eyebrows slightly. "I understand your point. I’ll head back now."

After she got in the car, she couldn’t help it.

When messaging Feng Qinqin, her lips involuntarily curled into a smile.

[Qinqin, I think I’ve discovered that Gu Qixiao really might not have known about what happened before. He probably isn’t that clever.]

Perhaps they had all overlooked this detail.

But as for what would happen after this, well, they’d take things one step at a time.

Meanwhile, Song Xuan had also learned about Gu Qixiao going out.

She looked at Assistant Li with a half-smile, her eyes filled with jealousy. "Tell me, why does Xiao always have no time when I visit him, but when it’s something related to Ji Yu, he’s so urgent and quick to act?"

This kind of behavior clearly meant affection.

Too bad the person wasn’t her, Song Xuan.

"Miss Song, there might have been some misunderstandings here. It’d be best for you not to dwell too much on this. You do still have work to attend to."

God knows how helpless Assistant Li felt. If he had known the situation would turn out like this, in hindsight, he would’ve never helped out before.

"Really? Even Assistant Li thinks it’s a misunderstanding. Then why do I feel that Xiao has already fallen deep?"

She couldn’t understand what it was about Ji Yu that attracted Gu Qixiao, but Ji Yu certainly couldn’t continue living so carefree afterward.

"This is President Gu’s matter. I’m just an assistant—how could I possibly understand President Gu’s intentions?"

He had grown numb to such situations.

Compared to Song Xuan, Ji Yu was far more considerate.

Unfortunately, she was just frustratingly hard to pursue.

When Gu Qixiao returned, he saw the two of them standing near the office doorway, but his good mood kept him from taking issue with it.

"What department have you assigned Song Xuan to? Why is she still foolishly standing here?"

He believed there was work for Song Xuan to do.

But Assistant Li was helpless in this matter.

"Miss Song might not be too familiar with the company’s operations yet, so she’s temporarily been assigned as your secretary by your side, President Gu."

This was the only solution they had.

Mostly because she was utterly clueless.

On top of that, Song Xuan wanted to remain close to Gu Qixiao, which led to her current position.

"Xiao, I know I’m not very capable, but I promise I’ll try hard to learn."

Her tone was serious as she spoke about this.

Gu Qixiao frowned, clearly unsatisfied with the arrangement.

"Brother Gu, earlier, because of scars on my face, I couldn’t bear to go out and meet people. Originally, my brother wanted to take me to college with him, but later..."

Before finishing her sentence, tears had already started streaming down her face.

This look of hers left Gu Qixiao at a loss. Thinking back to the past, Gu Qixiao’s mood grew complicated.

Perhaps he didn’t know how to repay the kindness from back then, which led him to yield repeatedly to Song Xuan’s requests.

Assistant Li was already accustomed to situations like this and efficiently led Song Xuan back to her seat. Sure enough, her tears had already been wiped away.

"Miss Song, if you need help with anything, you can come to me. I’ll leave this area to you for now."

He decided it was better to slip away.

Gu Qixiao’s mood was relatively good today, so he didn’t dwell on these details.

Though, seeing the trending news about Ji Yu and Lu Xingchen online was outright irritating.

"Have someone take all those posts down."

He didn’t want to see such news.

Ji Yu noticed this too but assumed it was due to Lu Xingchen’s company being concerned about such matters, so she didn’t pay much attention to it.

"Yu, what are you planning to do next? Now that you have a child, you can’t keep working like this forever."

Ji Yuanzhou actually had mixed feelings about the child.

On one hand, it was Ji Yu’s child. On the other hand, he understood that after the child was born, Ji Yu might find it even harder to accept him.

"I haven’t decided yet. I can only say this child came as too much of a surprise; even I wasn’t prepared."

She had originally planned to keep pushing forward in her career, but now faced with this situation, she could only adjust her plans.

"Since you’ve decided to have this child, you should take responsibility. If you don’t want the child..."

He trailed off, unable to bring himself to finish the sentence, knowing Ji Yu had already accepted the child.

"Brother, don’t worry. This child is very important to me. You could say it’s a blood connection—my flesh and blood."

She had lived on her own for so long that, even though she had the Ji family now, Ji Yu still hoped to have a relative tied by blood.

This feeling was truly something unique.

"Even if you stop working, we can take care of you at home."

Ji Yuanzhou calmly accepted the situation, much like he had upon hearing the news of Ji Yu’s marriage back then.
