The relationship between Ji Yuanzhou and Feng Qinqin hasn’t progressed to that stage yet. They’re both still young, so there’s no rush.
When Gu Qixiao arrived, he was greeted by this scene and couldn’t help but feel curious about the little bundle of joy who shared his bloodline.
"You, as his father, probably just met him for the first time, didn’t you?" Follow current novels on ⓝovelFire.net
Mr. Gu felt a little helpless about this matter but also understood that Gu Qixiao had eyes only for Ji Yu, so it wasn’t something worth dwelling on too much.
"I didn’t have time to see him earlier." Gu Qixiao admitted he had indeed neglected the child.
Looking at this little bundle now, though, softened his heart.
This was his and Ji Yu’s child, and it felt almost unreal.
"Now that Yu has already given birth to the child, isn’t it time to start thinking about the wedding?"
"Yes, I’ve already been planning the wedding. Yu has agreed to my proposal, but the rest will still need both of us to face together." Gu Qixiao knew Ji Yu was looking forward to this as well.
Saying it in advance didn’t seem like a bad idea.
Mr. Gu was deeply gratified seeing them .
"You, boy, better treat Yu well. If I find out you’re treating her poorly, I’ll step in and deal with you for her."
In Mr. Gu’s eyes, Ji Yu was the perfect daughter-in-law.
Even though there had been some troubles in the past, Ji Yu still remained flawless in his view.
"How could I possibly mistreat Yu?" Gu Qixiao couldn’t shower Ji Yu with enough love.
Mr. Gu took this matter seriously, already thinking of returning home to prepare the guest list for the wedding. After all, his son’s marriage was a major celebration that needed to be done properly.
Gu Qixiao was also determined to give Ji Yu a grand wedding and would never treat this matter casually.
Seeing Gu Qixiao busily running around organizing wedding preparations, Ji Yu couldn’t help but feel exasperated.
"Gu Qixiao, aren’t you worried about your company? These past few days, you’ve either been at the hospital or consumed with wedding plans. You can wait until I’ve fully recovered to work on the arrangements."
But Gu Qixiao was particularly steadfast about this, "Yu, I want to marry you as soon as possible, so these tasks don’t seem like a big deal to me."
Right now, he was desperate for Ji Yu to stay by his side forever.
Watching him , Ji Yu felt a wave of emotion. Perhaps it was because Gu Qixiao’s feelings were so sincere that Ji Yu realized there truly was genuine love in this world.
"And since you’re feeling uncomfortable right now, how could I not take care of you? These are things I should be doing," Gu Qixiao insisted, as though it was only natural. He wanted to care for Ji Yu attentively, and this was a lifelong commitment.
To him, as her lover, taking care of her was simply the right thing to do.
Ji Yu couldn’t help but laugh watching Gu Qixiao .
"Gu Qixiao, aren’t you worried that one day I’ll bully you to death because of your devotion?"
"Why would I be afraid of that?" Gu Qixiao had long grown accustomed to being teased by her, and without Ji Yu, he would’ve felt off. This was just a matter of habit.
Their relationship was filled with sweetness, and when Zhang Yaoyue arrived and saw this scene, she couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward.
"Why are you here?" Gu Qixiao’s tone was clearly guarded when he saw her, as though he feared she might do something inappropriate.
"Xiao—President Gu, don’t misunderstand me. I only came to visit Miss Ji. I already know about the two of you, so I won’t try to entangle myself in this. I have my dignity. Besides, someone with my background could have anyone I wanted."
She’d long discarded any thoughts of being a homewrecker, especially after Ji Yu had made things so clear. If she still tried to take inch after inch, she would truly be foolish.
Ji Yu was surprised by her visit but found the young woman oddly likable.
"Gu Qixiao, since she’s here to see me, there’s no need to be so worked up."
Actually, many situations could be resolved peacefully. Had her family not convinced her otherwise, she probably wouldn’t have ended up entangled with Gu Qixiao at all.
Gu Qixiao wasn’t particularly narcissistic—he was just concerned about Ji Yu’s health as she was still recovering. Any complications would be undesirable, and he felt responsible for her care during this period.
"I’m fine. She’s already come to visit, so let’s have a chat. You go on out."
Today, Zhang Yaoyue really wanted to speak with Ji Yu.
Probably because her impression of Ji Yu from last time was so overwhelmingly positive, Zhang Yaoyue found herself somewhat reliant on her now.
"Miss Ji, I wanted to ask your opinion on what I should do. I think you must have a unique perspective."
Ji Yu was taken aback. "You can ask your family or friends."
"I know I could, but my family is pressuring me, and my friends say I’m wrong and that I should follow my family’s arrangements." She felt suffocated just thinking about the harsh words her elder brother had said.
"I don’t want to be treated like an object, handed off to someone I have no interest in. I’m terrified things will end up like last time."
Ji Yu instantly grasped the situation—so it was a case of a young woman being forced into marriage.
"If you don’t like it, you don’t have to get involved. You’re an independent individual—nobody should be forced to do something they don’t want to do."
"But they’ve frozen my credit cards and even restricted my freedom." Zhang Yaoyue was on the verge of tears as she said this.
"Do you value those things more, or your autonomy?"
"I can’t marry someone. If I do, I’ll never have the chance to dream or live freely again." Her heart felt heavy as she glanced at Ji Yu with pleading eyes.
She clearly didn’t know what else to do or she wouldn’t have spoken out about her struggles.
Ji Yu understood the situation well. "Then follow your heart. I think you’re absolutely right. If you marry someone against your will, you’ll lose your freedom for the rest of your life."
Though Ji Yu couldn’t comprehend why the young woman’s family would do this, she felt that since the girl had made her decision, supporting her was the right thing to do.
"I knew you’d be the only one to stand with me." Zhang Yaoyue had asked so many people for guidance that she’d begun to lose confidence in herself. Only Ji Yu was willing to give her a hand.
