h4Chapter 308: Chapter 308: You Must Take Care/h4

Ji Yu hoped that Gu Qixiao could be happy.

But on second thought, after everything that’s already happened, if Gu Qixiao could feel happy, it would be truly bizarre.

"I’m heading back now. If you need anything, just let me know. As for Xia Chuanhe, I’ll arrange for someone to keep an eye on him."

Honestly, the way the two of them came and went in such a hurried manner felt like they were sneaking around to do something improper.

Yet heaven knows they’re the normal pair, while Xia Chuanhe is nothing but the extra one.

Ji Yu got a headache every time she thought about it.

Of course, Ji Yu could only continue to appear calm and indifferent in front of Xia Chuanhe.

Xia Chuanhe always thought the two of them had a chance.

Every time the old madam saw her son’s expression, she would let out a helpless sigh.

"Can’t you give yourself a break, child? Look at the youngdy; she clearly doesn’t like you."

She’d said those words countless times, but it was as if Xia Chuanhe never heard her.

Especially whenever he saw Ji Yu acting like that, he would always hold on to hope—maybe Ji Yu liked him too.

If he could be together with Ji Yu, maybe it would make him happy too.

"Yu, take good care of yourself. Auntie will recover soon."

To be honest, after so much time, when Ji Yu looked at him, her feelings became increasinglyplicated.

He seemed to have something peculiar about him.

Otherwise, having been treated so badly, why would he still act this way?

"Xia Chuanhe, I’ve treated you like this already. Do you still have no intention of staying away from me?"

She had tried so many ways to deal with him.

But he seemed utterly oblivious.

"Yu, I know at first you didn’t want to be with me. But now, aren’t you willing? So in this matter, I’m willing to be patient with you."

He really seemed to have the potential to be a hopeless romantic.

For the first time, Ji Yu felt so speechless toward someone, though there was also a subtle hint of guilt.

"That’s not what I mean. I’m trying to tell you—I don’t like you. I’m only here because of my mother. If you’re still expecting me to reciprocate your feelings, I suggest you quickly break things off with me."

That kind of hope was never going to be answered.

"Since you’ll stay by my side anyway, isn’t falling for me just a matter of time?"

He was certainly persistent in this matter.

Ever since he realized he liked Ji Yu, he hadn’t stopped being insistent.

Ji Yu truly had no solutions left for the man in front of her.

"I think you probably need some time to seriously think about it. Don’t let these things keep making you anxious."

She hoped he wouldn’t feel too upset afterward.

After all, he had been taking care of Madam Ji.

"Are you worried about Auntie? Don’t worry; as long as I’m here, nothing will happen to her," he said with a smile.

He looked like someone willing to do anything for Ji Yu.

Ji Yu stared helplessly at him. All the questions and doubts she had before had be silence now.

"Think about it carefully yourself. I feel like you might still not fully ept what I’m saying."

She thought she should just sleep well for now.

Of course, Ji Yu hadn’t forgotten to check on Madam Ji’s condition.

When she saw her mom slowly improving, Ji Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thankfully Mom’s condition is gradually getting better. If not, then Yu’s choice would have been..."

"Can you watch your mouth?" Feng Qinqin shot Ji Yuanzhou a re, feeling he was saying exactly the wrong thing at the wrong moment.

Ji Yu finally seemed to be happier for a change; why say something like that now?

"I’m fine, really. This was my own decision. Now Xia Chuanhe stays by my side all the time, doesn’t go anywhere. I don’t even have much chance to go out."

Her heart didn’t feel as heavy anymore.

Maybe it was because she felt things weren’t as bad as they seemed.

"Yu, take good care of yourself. Don’t let his words upset you. Actually, I understand Xia Chuanhe’s situation. If you’re feeling ufortable, just say it out loud. We’ll help you figure something out."

Everyone knew Ji Yu didn’t like Xia Chuanhe, but no one had a way around this situation. No one wanted to see things turn out like this.

Ji Yu smiled at them.

"I can handle it myself."

She was gradually working on her right to break free from Xia Chuanhe.

Today, Xia Chuanhe was busy with other matters and didn’t have time to apany her.

But Ji Yu believed he’d realize sooner orter that there was no future between them.

"By the way, Yuyu, hasn’t Gu Qixiao been gone for quite a while? Do you think he..."

Feng Qinqin didn’t want to think of the worst, but who could predict human emotions?

She hoped Ji Yu wouldn’t let these worries cloud her judgment.

Ji Yu wouldn’t be blinded. She merely felt uneasy in her heart.

"I’m fine, really, Gu Qixiao might just be busy with work."

Thinking about what Gu Qixiao said before, Ji Yu ultimately chose to trust him.

If even she didn’t trust Gu Qixiao, then there probably wouldn’t be anyone in this world who did.

In truth, Gu Qixiao really was busy with work.

Shi Chengxin looked at Gu Qixiao, who appeared haggard, and couldn’t help but sneer, "Reduced to this by a woman? Impressive."

Clearly, he’d understood the situation long ago.

In his mind, Gu Qixiao had always had no weaknesses. Now, seeing him like this even surprised hispetitor.

"Shi Chengxin, what do you think you are? What right do you have to mock me?"

Gu Qixiao didn’t think there was any problem at all. Besides, what Shi Chengxin said pointed to the idea that he’d lost Ji Yu.

Thest thing Gu Qixiao wanted to hear recently was this.

Whenever someone brought it up, he would get emotionally worked up.

He certainly wouldn’t be happy now.

"Gu Qixiao, you really are a coward, huh? If you’ve got the guts, why not go win your woman back? Instead of venting on me, why not focus on your own problems?"

His eyes carried tant ridicule.

He knew Gu Qixiao wouldn’t act, which was why he was falling to pieces like this.

Gu Qixiao looked at him coldly. "So you came here today just to sneer at me?"

Shi Chengxin grew irritated at the mention of this. "Of course not. Your woman left you, so why take it out on me?"
