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

Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Plastic Surgery

But Ji Yu couldn’t be bothered to talk to him again.

She simply followed their suggestion and transformed the previously prepared person into a completely different appearance.

Looking at the face in front of her, Ji Yu felt a wave of annoyance.

"With skills like yours, Doctor Ji, you could do anything. Why stick to running a hospital so obediently?"

It was obvious he was trying to rope Ji Yu into his plans.

But this matter greatly concerned Ji Yu.

"Do you think I need that?" She had a career she loved, family she cared for, and now, someone she liked. How could she possibly care about something like this?

"I must’ve overthought it." He suddenly felt a hint of envy toward Ji Yu. It was like when they first met—he couldn’t fathom how such a young woman could appear so cold and detached when wielding a scalpel.

"Ji Yu, you really need to..."

"I don’t need to." These people had no idea what she had been through. Was there any point in saying this now?

"You don’t know other people’s pasts, so why say such nonsensical things? You don’t like me, and I don’t like you. Let’s just complete this one collaboration, and after that, we owe each other nothing."

Neither of them would lose money in this arrangement.

Hearing this, Li Yu couldn’t help but laugh, "I really am a fool, thinking I could talk to you about working together in the long term."

But then again, there didn’t seem to be any issues anymore.

Ji Yu didn’t like this place and didn’t want to associate with these people.

No matter what happened in the future, she resolved not to help them again.

"Do you think this is wrong?" He seemed to catch onto Ji Yu’s thoughts.

"Conning people and expecting me to approve? I’m not brain-dead." This matter didn’t warrant further discussion.

She sat off to the side, her demeanor indifferent.

Of course, she was also wondering if there would be any other issues later.

"Don’t worry, Doctor Ji. I’m a man of my word. There will be absolutely no additional conditions. Naturally, I also hope you won’t share this matter with others afterward."

"I have zero interest in your business." She rubbed her temples, as if she had long since seen through their tricks.

"Ji Yu, you know, you could try staying with me." He tilted his chin slightly with a cheeky air, mulling over the possibility of furthering his relationship with her.

Ji Yu swatted his hand away. "I’m not interested in you."

Their relationship hadn’t reached that kind of level.

Hearing this, his expression seemed a bit disheartened.

"Actually, I’ve always been very interested in you, Doctor Ji. From the very beginning, I found you fascinating." Except back then, Ji Yu was just a young girl. noveldrama

He could even imagine the two of them working together, accomplishing quite a lot.

"Well, thank you very much." Even so, she couldn’t bring herself to be the slightest bit moved by someone like him.

"Can I go back now?" She had no interest in what these people were doing.

Hearing this, Li Yu showed no intent of making it difficult for her. "You still need to wait until the gauze is removed from his face. Otherwise, who knows if Doctor Ji’s surgery was successful or not?"

"Are you joking with me?" She found this situation absurd beyond belief.

The relationship between them was already bad enough.

Staying here for another month might just drive her insane.

"I can come back when it’s time to remove the gauze, or you could send him to Chongxin directly. That way, I could take care of him properly."

When they heard this, several people’s expressions shifted. "Sending him to Chongxin would make it too easy for others to find out, so don’t even think about it."

He wouldn’t allow his people to go to Chongxin.

Such a thing was far too easy to uncover.

"So you’re willing to sacrifice my time instead?"

This was simply laughable.

"I only hope Doctor Ji keeps her word. Does Doctor Ji not have any thoughts on this matter?"

"I do as I please. I’ve already fulfilled the promise I made to you. If you don’t let me go, things won’t end so simply." She knew trouble would inevitably find her sooner or later anyway.

Hearing this, Li Yu didn’t get angry. "I know Mr. Gu has the means, but making a big fuss over something so trivial seems a bit excessive. Besides, Miss Ji, granting me this favor isn’t exactly difficult, is it?"

"You’re right," she replied, unwilling to yield, "But unfortunately, there’s one thing I absolutely cannot stand—being threatened."

If they dared to use threats against her, it meant they had prepared for this from the outset.

"I wouldn’t call this a threat. I’m merely having a discussion with Doctor Ji. There’s no need to get angry, especially when you’re carrying a child—you really should think about the child’s well-being."

Though his words weren’t direct, they were unmistakably laced with menace.

Ji Yu stared at him coldly. "So, what you’re saying is that there’s no peaceful resolution to this matter, is that it?"

"Doctor Ji, you must be joking. How could there not be a peaceful resolution? I just need you to stay here for a while. Rest assured, as soon as his face is fine, you’re free to leave at any time."

This time, Ji Yu didn’t say anything further.

She returned to the room they had prepared for her without any argument.

Li Yu was somewhat surprised by her compliance and couldn’t help but wonder what she was planning.

"Doctor Ji, you seem to..."

"I’m already staying here. What more do you want to say?" There was no need for further conversation between them.

Ji Yu disliked engaging with him.

He felt foolish pursuing the matter any further but remained uneasy, suspecting that Ji Yu might be plotting something, potentially even exposing the entire operation.

Yet, over the following week, Ji Yu behaved entirely normal. She went about her tasks, occasionally took walks to enjoy the scenery, and showed no signs of acting against them.

Meanwhile, Gu Qixiao had already received word and was aware of Ji Yu’s temporary absence.

"Do you think something’s happened to Yuyu?" Feng Qinqin, feeling guilty as the situation stemmed from her, was particularly worried about Ji Yu’s condition.

"For now, there doesn’t seem to be an issue. She sent a message back saying there’s no need to worry." These updates, of course, were only relayed through Hong.

Since their prior collaboration, the relationship between the two had eased somewhat. Given Ji Yu’s tendency to get into trouble, they had no choice but to work together.

"I can’t shake this uneasy feeling. I don’t know what’s going on with Yuyu. If I’d known this would happen, I never would’ve mentioned the engagement in the first place."

The engagement between them had long since been called off, yet the aftermath still hadn’t been resolved.

"Maybe I should go and check on her."
