<h4>Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Hesitation</h4>
"You!" Ling Xia seemedpletely taken aback by her words and reacted with visible anger.
The rtionship between them wasn’t as close as imagined, something that had already made her quite upset. Now, hearing Ji Yu speak like this, it was impossible for her to feel any better.
"Don’t go thinking that your status now can protect you. Even if the child in your womb is his flesh and blood, I can still rece you."
"Then you’d better try quickly. I’m quite looking forward to seeing if you seed." Ji Yu dismissed such matters with utter disdain, unable toprehend their so-calledpetitiveness.
Wasn’t the current situation good enough? Did it really have to turn into an awkward mess for her to feel satisfied?
Ji Yu ignored herpletely and headed straight to Gu Qixiao’s office.
Whenever Gu Qixiao saw her, he would beam with joy, and today was no exception.
"I thought you’d be busy with plenty of things today and wouldn’te by." Gu Qixiao expressed his affection clearly.
He knew that maintaining their bond for the long term was crucial.
"I came today specifically to talk to you about this matter." The troubles caused by Li Yu kept surfacing, making it difficult to resolve himpletely.
"Li Yu’s situation is ratherplicated. I’m not sure what method could be used to deal with him thoroughly."
As she spoke about it, she found the issue truly vexing.
"Since things have gone this far and he’s still pushing, we might as well act directly." Gu Qixiao wasn’t fond of people like him to begin with.
He had been holding back all this time solely to ensure Ji Yu wouldn’t get hurt.
If the other party refused to back off, then force was the only option left.
"I’m worried that if we act, this matter could involve you. After all, this kind of thing is significant to everyone. I’m afraid unforeseen situations might arise." With so many people watching them, any changes could spark unnecessary trouble.
After all, this was her own issue. How could she continue to waver like this?
"Yu, your concerns are mine. No matter when or where, I will never stand by and ignore your problems."
Regardless of whether they argued or encountered variousplications in the future, this would never change.
"Since this matter involves you, it’s only natural that it’s my problem too."
The two had already be inseparably intertwined, especially with her carrying his child.
"You and the child are both people I need to protect. To me, you’re both deeply important, so regardless of what happens next, I’ll bear it all for you."
Ji Yu sometimes felt their rtionship was a bit unfair.
Much like now, his attitude seemed excessively infatuated.
"Gu Qixiao, you don’t need to sacrifice so much for me. To be honest, you’re just as important to me."
"With that one sentence from you, what more could I ask for?" Gu Qixiao’s stance on the matter was equally resolute.
From how things currently stood, they did indeed seem highlypatible.
When Ji Yu left, she appeared deeply lost in thought.
She revisited the recent situation.
Li Yu had been showing up very frequently.
"Sister Yu, you shouldn’t concern yourself with this matter. That guy has some serious issues."
Tian was quite worried about her physical condition, especially since she was pregnant.
"I’m fine, just feeling mentally exhausted." Dealing with someone like Li Yu required immense effort to resolve smoothly.
"If hees again, give him my contact information directly." They needed to have a proper discussion. Continuing like this benefited neither side.
It was clear that Li Yu agreed to Ji Yu’s proposal to talk.
That night, Ji Yu received his message.
Ji Yu found his behavior iprehensible, and everything about him now made her feel repulsed.
"Ji Yu, you don’t need to react so strongly. For me, it’s simple—I only need your skills. I wasn’t trying to make you do anything wrong."
She treated the matter of surgeries with utmost seriousness. Seeing the joyful expressions of her patients reassured her of her sess.
But this time, the situation was clearly abnormal.
"You didn’t directly ask me to do bad things but forced me to be an aplice. Do you really think such actions aren’t an insult to me?" In her current state, she could hardly even hold a scalpel.
It wasn’t just the child; there were also lingering psychological shadows from herst surgery. Though these things could eventually be ovee, if he continued acting this way, there was bound to be a confrontation between them.
"You should be well aware of what’s happening between us."
"You just need to pretend you don’t know what we’re nning." Li Yu couldn’t understand why such an easypromise seemed beyond her grasp.
"Do you find self-deception meaningful? Being the aplice doing dirty work yet pretending otherwise—I can’t ept that."
"I hope you stop bothering me from now on. Otherwise, I won’t stop Gu Qixiao from acting against you."
"Don’t tell me you think he hasn’t already made a move? Do you know why I’ve been approaching you so frequently? It’s because he’s already targeting my operations." His tone sounded frustrated discussing this.
He had long anticipated that things would escte between them to this point.
Yet Gu Qixiao’s actions were proving increasingly difficult to withstand.
"Given that, you’re even less entitled to trouble me anymore. You should understand who matters most to him. As long as you leave me alone, I can convince him to stop targeting you."
Ji Yu felt confident about this. Their bond was clear, and given how much Gu Qixiao cared for her, he would undoubtedly heed her words.
Li Yu grappled with whether he should agree to this.
"Ji Yu, have you seriously never considered cooperating with us? This issue brings nothing but benefits to you."
Up to now, his belief remained unchanged—thinking that Ji Yu’s inner demons had yet to surface, which exined her stubbornness.
"So, what you mean is that he should keep attacking you, is that it?"
Ji Yu had no inclinations to waste further words. She only sought a resolution.
Li Yu said nothing more, ending the call abruptly, as though still caught in indecision.
