Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband
Chapter 94: Gift

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Gift

The Ji family used to make fixed annual donations, but this time Ji Yuanzhou clearly donated in his personal capacity.

"Please thank your brother for me. The Ji family has already helped our orphanage so much; we can’t let them keep spending like this."

The orphanage director hoped that Ji Yu could live with fewer burdens in the future.

"I understand."

Ji Yu was also surprised by this matter but knew her brother’s personality. It was likely due to what happened last time that Ji Yuanzhou had such thoughts.

She stayed and played with the children for a while, but she had a patient consultation in the afternoon and could only remind them to behave.

"Even if you don’t like it, you still need to learn to read."

"We know, Sister Yu." The children were very obedient.

Ji Yu didn’t forget to bring them gifts on her way home.

She decided to deliver them to Gu Qixiao first so she wouldn’t have to think about another opportunity to meet him later.

Gu Qixiao was noticeably excited when he heard that Ji Yu had voluntarily come to see him.

"You’re saying Ji Yu is downstairs?"

"Yes, Miss Ji said she had something to discuss with you." Assistant Li also assumed there might be something going on between the two of them.

Little did he know that Ji Yu had only come to deliver an item.

Looking at the small sketchboard in his hand, Gu Qixiao immediately understood who had sent it.

"You went to the orphanage?"

He knew Ji Yu cared deeply for those children, so he deliberately started with them. Luckily, it seemed to work this time.

"Thank you for taking care of them. But I know the teacher fees aren’t cheap; I can help cover the costs together with you."

"As if I can’t afford these expenses." Gu Qixiao looked at Ji Yu with a hint of exasperation.

"You might have some misunderstandings about the Gu family." Gu Qixiao felt that Ji Yu didn’t seem to realize just how wealthy the Gu family was.

"I know, but this isn’t something you need to do. You never had the habit of doing charity before." It all started because of her.

If that was the case, he deserved some compensation.

Ji Yu was clear-minded about all of this without any ulterior motive.

Gu Qixiao, however, felt helpless and thought that Ji Yu was perhaps too serious about these matters.

"You really always leave me at a loss for words. No matter the reason, this was my voluntary donation—it has nothing to do with you."

He firmly believed this.

But since he saw Ji Yu, he wouldn’t let her leave so easily. "Let’s have dinner together."

This time, Ji Yu didn’t refuse.

However, Gu Qixiao still had some matters to attend to, so he took Ji Yu to his office upstairs.

As soon as they went up, Ji Yu could feel someone watching her.

Following the gaze, Ji Yu noticed that Song Xuan also worked at the Gu family company.

No wonder she had that feeling earlier.

"It seems like you and Song Xuan have a good relationship."

Ji Yu made the remark without any particular intent, just surprised that Song Xuan worked there.

"I’ve told you, she’s the sister of someone who saved my life, so she’s only like a sister to me."

"I didn’t mean anything by it." She felt Gu Qixiao was being overly defensive.

But this reaction was somewhat understandable. The earlier incident had taught Gu Qixiao that some issues needed clear explanations.

Ji Yu felt resigned but understood Gu Qixiao’s thoughts.

"Alright, I get it. So, may I sit in President Gu’s office for a while?"

She had something to inform Tian and the others about.

This was Ji Yu’s first time in Gu Qixiao’s office. "Feel free to sit anywhere. I’ll wrap this up shortly."

He seemed especially motivated this time around.

Even Assistant Li was being ordered around tirelessly.

The others, however, were filled with curiosity, wondering about Ji Yu’s identity and why she was in Gu Qixiao’s office as soon as she arrived.

"Stop overthinking things you don’t need to know."

Not far away, Song Xuan stood with an unpleasant expression, her anger towards the situation evident in her furrowed brows.

The others, aware of Song Xuan’s connection, didn’t dare cross her and quickly returned to work.

Song Xuan, however, brought two cups of coffee to the office.

"Dr. Ji, what brings you to the Gu family today? Did you come personally to check on my face?"

Her tone carried a warning, sending a clear message to Ji Yu that this had nothing to do with her.

Ji Yu frowned. "Sorry, this matter doesn’t seem to have much to do with Miss Song today. I merely came to deliver something to President Gu."

Her voice was straightforward, giving no room for misinterpretation or ambiguity.

But Song Xuan felt that Ji Yu was provoking her.

"Dr. Ji, didn’t you once say you didn’t like Xiao? Why are you now seeking him out on your own?"

Her words hinted at something more.

Unfortunately for her, Ji Yu had said multiple times, even in front of Gu Qixiao, that she didn’t like him. By now, Gu Qixiao was immune to such remarks.

"Song Xuan, as my secretary, you should be at your work station right now."

He didn’t want conflict between the two women.

Moreover, what Song Xuan said struck a nerve with Gu Qixiao.

It was something he couldn’t overlook.

"Xiao, I was just curious. I’ll get back to work right away."

She acted innocently, as if her words had been a simple oversight.

But Gu Qixiao was already growing impatient. "Song Xuan, return to work."

He didn’t want to elaborate further.

Fuming, Song Xuan could only stomp her foot in irritation before turning to leave, though not without glaring at Ji Yu one last time before she exited.

She had always suspected that Ji Yu wanted to climb the social ladder—and here she was, throwing herself right into the mix.

Ji Yu, accustomed to such situations, remained calm this time around.

"Song Xuan has a bit of a temper."

Gu Qixiao was well aware of this. Previously, out of guilt, he had catered to Song Xuan’s every wish.

Now that he realized the problem, he wasn’t sure how best to resolve it.

"It’s fine. We don’t really have many interactions."

The one feeling troubled should be someone else.

However, Ji Yu could tell that Gu Qixiao truly had no deeper feelings for Song Xuan.

"You go ahead and handle your work; I’ll step out to make a call."

She had just received news that a patient urgently needed to see her. Tian wouldn’t be able to manage the situation alone.

"Sister Yu, the patient is insisting on seeing you. Their condition is also quite serious. Can you come back to take a look?"

"Alright." Ji Yu saw no reason to delay work because of Gu Qixiao.

She should’ve been heading back anyway.

"Stabilize the situation for now. I’m on my way back. Try your best to keep the patient calm."

She was already walking back as she instructed Tian over the phone.

Gu Qixiao, knowing Ji Yu still had work to do, nevertheless clung to his desire to have dinner together with her.
