CHAPTER 431: CHAPTER 431: LIFE-SAVING BENEFACTOR

Gu Qixiao could also guess a few things, but he didn’t pay much attention to these little things they did, after all, they were Ji Yu’s saviors.

What he needed more now was some alone time for the two of them, since it had been a long time since they had embraced each other like this.

"Alright, all of you go and have a good rest. We can talk about whatever’s needed after you’re well rested."

Hu Jianyu could also see that they had many things left to say.

He knew best what his own daughter was like.

He gently patted Ji Yu’s back to comfort her.

"No matter what happens, you have me, your father, to rely on. Since I’ve found you, I absolutely won’t let anything happen to you."

This was his confidence as a father.

Ji Yu’s eyes reddened for a moment.

Perhaps because it had been too long since she felt the warmth of home that she cared so much at this moment.

"The Ji family should be arriving tonight. At the beginning, we didn’t tell them about this, so they are coming later."

Ji Yu certainly knew she was loved by her family, so she nodded to indicate she understood.

"Alright, stop thinking about everything. I know you two surely have a lot to talk about. Hurry back and get some rest. Gu has had it tough, too."

During this time, he had been resisting the pain of trying to forget Ji Yu, and most importantly, many things that happened during this period were still unresolved.

Ji Yu and Gu Qixiao returned to the bedroom together, and Gu Qixiao couldn’t hold back any longer, pulling her into his embrace.

"Yu, you have no idea how much I’ve missed you during this time. I was so afraid you would leave me like this. Didn’t you say before that you would never leave me in such a way?"

At that time, he even thought about whether he could leave this world with Ji Yu.

"Gu Qixiao, are you being stupid again, thinking about all sorts of nonsense? Even if something happened to me, you have to live well. We still have a child."

At that time, Ji Yu actually considered a lot and understood that if she left, Gu Qixiao would feel terrible.

"If something happens to me, you’d need to take care of the child. If you leave with me, then our child would be without parents. Do you want her to experience my childhood?"

Ji Yu was very serious about the child’s matters.

"Yu, you don’t understand how painful it was for me back then. How could I have thought about that brat? I was entirely focused on you."

"I really can’t lose you, Yu. I hope you understand this, and please don’t do anything dangerous again."

By this point, their relationship had developed so much, how could Ji Yu not understand him?

She looked at the person in front of her with a bit of exasperation.

"Gu Qixiao, you’re really foolish. Do you know what you’re doing right now?" Ji Yu never thought someone close to her would have such extreme thoughts.

"I know you must feel really uncomfortable inside, but these thoughts are genuinely what I felt. I’m not an obsessive person, but when it comes to you, I just can’t stay calm."

These matters weren’t so bad for him.

"I kept wondering if you’d scold me back then, but later I thought you wouldn’t bear to scold me."

Gu Qixiao smiled at the person in front of him, clearly no longer worried about the matter.

Ji Yu didn’t know what to say to him, but seeing him like this, she felt complicated inside.

"Sometimes you really make people laugh and cry. I can understand what you did, but I absolutely can’t agree regarding the child."

The little one was a mutual decision to bring into the world, and this child naturally needed their protection.

"You can’t be so irresponsible about the child. No matter how much pain you’re in, you can’t just give up on the child."

Gu Qixiao never agreed, deep down perhaps he was just a selfish person, hence why he was so conflicted about this.

"Yu, I can listen to whatever you say, but I can’t change my mind."

Ji Yu was often curious why he was like this.

But thinking carefully, she realized there must have been signs all along.

Since they got together, these things had been very apparent, but initially, she didn’t notice.

"Yu, you’re too important to me, so in my life, no one can compare to you, not even our child. I love him because I love you, but with you, I absolutely can’t let go."

He knew too well what was in his heart now; if something happened to the child, he would handle it, but if both the child and Ji Yu were in danger, he would choose Ji Yu.

"Alright, alright, it seems impossible for you to change your mind on this, so I won’t say much. But if something bad really happens, please at least consider the child. I’m begging you."

Ji Yu had spoken to this extent, so Gu Qixiao naturally didn’t say more.

He held the person he had regained, like holding a precious treasure, fully aware that this was also a test for him.

"Oh, I was in such a hurry just now that I haven’t asked how your body is. Are they still unwilling to give you the antidote? I talked to them about this last time." Ji Yu, seeing his haggard look, thought his condition was getting worse.

Gu Qixiao shook his head, "Even if it’s extremely painful sometimes, I think there’s no need for the antidote."

Or maybe his antidote was right in front of him.

As long as Ji Yu was there, he probably wouldn’t need to think so much.

"I just don’t want to forget you."

Forgetting the one he loved was the most unforgivable thing for him.

"I want to protect you."
