Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Deep Affection and Great Loyalty

When she saw this doll, Ji Yu knew that Gu Qixiao was being serious. After all, a gift like this is all about the sentiment behind it.

Once she understood Gu Qixiao’s intentions, she realized that there was no way she could avoid what was happening between them.

"Gu Qixiao, sometimes you really play by your own rules."

Things he clearly had no reason to know, he always seemed to find out from some obscure corner.

Now, what he gave to Ji Yu would always feel like a surprise.

"As long as it’s something you like, I’m willing to prepare it. Besides, isn’t that normal?" For something given to the person he cared for, it must carry meaning.

Gu Qixiao didn’t see any problem with this at all.

Of course, Madam Ji and Mr. Ji received gifts as well, just not as many as Ji Yu.

Seeing how happy Ji Yu and Gu Qixiao seemed together, they became increasingly satisfied with Gu Qixiao too.

"Since the two of you are already together and seem to value each other so much, why not find some time to meet each other’s parents?"

Ji Yu nearly choked when she heard this. Before Gu Qixiao could say a word, she immediately rejected the suggestion. "Mom, let’s not. I think we need more time to think about this. Gu Qixiao and I really aren’t at that stage yet." noveldrama

Gu Qixiao might not know her true identity, but Mr. Gu was a different matter entirely.

She felt a headache coming on. She wasn’t sure how she would explain things when the time came. Should she just chalk it up to fate?

Gu Qixiao gave Ji Yu a slightly aggrieved look, as though wondering why she didn’t want to meet their parents.

"Yu, do you really think we’re not there yet? But I already want to marry you."

He looked truly forlorn.

But Ji Yu knew Gu Qixiao wasn’t joking.

"Don’t be like this. We’ve only just confirmed our relationship. Isn’t talking about marriage already a bit too rushed?"

They should clarify things between them first before even thinking about the rest. Otherwise, it could become incredibly awkward later.

Gu Qixiao didn’t understand why Ji Yu thought this way, but seeing how serious she looked, he had no choice but to relent.

"Alright, I’ll wait until you say yes. Yu, I won’t give up on you."

Their relationship was bound to blossom and bear fruit one day.

Ji Yu had no idea what to say for a moment. She thought, perhaps only Gu Qixiao didn’t know—they had already crossed that line long ago. He simply hadn’t cherished it back then.

Her thoughts were in a jumble, but she knew she couldn’t blame Gu Qixiao for any of this.

"Let me think it over properly. Don’t take it the wrong way; I’m not saying you’re wrong. I just feel like this kind of decision requires careful consideration."

To be fair, not getting married wouldn’t be so bad either.

The two of them could continue to care for each other in this way, and it wouldn’t really be a problem.

Seeing Ji Yu looking as if she was lost in thought, Gu Qixiao was reminded of Ji Yu’s ex-husband. He figured this man must have caused her quite a bit of pain.

"Yu, I know you’ve had a failed marriage before, but I won’t treat you the way he did."

The man himself was right here—what could Ji Yu possibly say?

She could only keep silent for the time being.

Such things were unpredictable for anyone.

She could only hope that when the truth came out, Gu Qixiao wouldn’t feel too awkward about it.

"Gu Qixiao, do you think everything I’m doing is because of my past marriage? The truth is, I just want to be with you. That’s all I need. There’s no need to let marriage tie us down."

To her, marriage might be more of a burden.

Besides, true love didn’t require a marriage certificate to validate it.

But Gu Qixiao firmly disagreed. "I want a proper title."

When it came to this issue, he couldn’t help feeling insecure. After all, there were too many people around Ji Yu. He was afraid he might truly lose her one day.

"I know you don’t want to get married right now, so I can wait. But you absolutely cannot deny my role. I am your boyfriend."

And someday, her husband as well.

He was supremely confident about that.

Looking at his silly determination, Ji Yu suddenly thought of Feng Qinqin’s earlier comment about him: "Idiot."

Even being called an idiot didn’t bother Gu Qixiao. As long as Ji Yu continued to love him like this, their relationship would never stall.

Besides, he would keep working hard to stay by Ji Yu’s side.

Watching him try to pick out even more gifts, Ji Yu felt a bit helpless. "You’ve bought way too many things. I can’t even use them all."

"As long as you like them, that’s what matters." The matter of not using them was something they could worry about later.

For now, what was important was that Ji Yu liked them.

Ji Yu wasn’t sure how to respond to him.

"I like spending money on my girlfriend. Nobody can stop me."

Hearing this, Ji Yu couldn’t help but smile.

"Then you’d better prepare to spend a lot. I’m quite an expensive person."

"Everything I earn is for my wife’s happiness," he said confidently.

If it weren’t for the company bringing in money, why else would he bother managing it?

Ji Yu couldn’t help but laugh at that. "Gu Qixiao, sometimes you’re just plain silly."

It seemed like there wasn’t a thing he wouldn’t do the way she wanted it.

Madam Ji, seeing their affectionate behavior, waited until Gu Qixiao left before asking Ji Yu why she didn’t want to get married.

"I just don’t have any plans to marry for now." There were still lingering shadows in Ji Yu’s mind regarding Gu Qixiao.

Of course, it wasn’t all his fault. They didn’t even know each other back then. But it was indeed something Gu Qixiao had done.

"Some things are better handled one step at a time. Mom, do you really want me to rush into marriage?"

"Of course not." Madam Ji also hoped Ji Yu would take her time thinking things through.

"It’s just that, seeing how sweet the two of you are, I feel like it’s bound to happen sooner or later. I only asked because if his family were to have any issues, we could prepare in advance." She was worried that Ji Yu might end up with a difficult mother-in-law.

Thinking about the Gu family’s parents, Ji Yu felt calm. "They’re good people."

But what kind of good people was still up in the air.

Her past relationship with Mr. Gu had been quite positive.

"Mom, you don’t have to worry about those things. Besides, do you think I’d ever let myself be wronged? If they didn’t like me, I wouldn’t marry Gu Qixiao."

She wasn’t the kind of person who’d tolerate that kind of life.

Hearing this, Madam Ji couldn’t help but sigh. "You really don’t let yourself suffer, but all I want is for you to be happy. That’s what truly matters."

As long as she was happy, nothing else really mattered.

Leaning against her mother, Ji Yu felt the warmth of her care and was grateful that, even though she didn’t have parents of her own, she still had this kind of love.

"Mom, I’ll make sure to fully enjoy my happiness."
