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

Chapter 208: Chapter 208: A Matter of Face

Ji Yu had no interest in such matters. "To be honest, there’s nothing I really want. I have everything I need."

Whatever she pursued seemed to go smoothly for her.

So, this kind of proposal truly didn’t tempt Ji Yu.

Hearing this, Li Yu understood that it would likely be even harder to get Ji Yu’s help in the future.

The most crucial thing was that their last encounter had practically turned them into enemies.

"Ji Yu, you can name your own terms. I promise I have no ulterior motives. You have to trust me." He appeared very earnest.

Ji Yu didn’t know how to respond to him.

"Instead of wasting time here, you’d be better off finding another doctor. Maybe they can handle this. My pregnancy is already advanced, so I can’t do this kind of thing."

After all, she had to consider the child in her womb.

When she mentioned the child, he finally seemed to realize something.

His gaze toward Ji Yu became more determined.

"Do you think I’ll give up so easily?" Giving up on something like this is truly difficult for anyone.

His words left Ji Yu unsure how to respond.

"I won’t let go of this chance. If something happens to those around you..."

"Do you think you’ll get that chance?" Gu Qixiao stepped forward and pulled Ji Yu into his arms, clearly anticipating this kind of situation. He knew this was par for the course for them.

"If you want to cause trouble for Yu, shouldn’t you ask me first?" There was no way he’d allow the person he cared about to be bullied at a time like this.

Li Yu knew that dealing with Gu Qixiao wouldn’t be easy.

The tug-of-war with Gu Qixiao had previously been possible because Ji Yu was under their control. But now that she was here, continuing the tussle would be far more difficult.

"That’s not what I meant. I only hope Ji Yu will agree to this matter. It’s a trivial task for her, but it’s extremely important to us."

They didn’t even know how long they had been preparing for this. If it fell apart now, it’d be hard for them to recover.

Ji Yu listened to their words and felt it was laughable rather than offensive. "Honestly, when you decided to bring this up, shouldn’t you have considered these factors? Why pursue something like this?"

She resented such matters deeply. It was like what she’d said to Li Yu before: these were things that needed people without any conscience to do.

"You ought to know my limits very well. This is something that other doctors can handle, so coming to me doesn’t serve any purpose."

Li Yu simply thought Ji Yu’s skills would be more trustworthy, knowing that no other doctor could achieve the same natural results. In situations like this, naturalness mattered most.

"Ji Yu, I don’t want to bother anyone else with such matters. I just need you to help. I believe you’ll do a perfect job."

He could offer money.

But he wouldn’t ask for anything more.

Ji Yu looked at him coldly. "No need. I have no interest in your money. This matter holds no value for me."

She had already given up on discussing anything more with Li Yu. Didn’t he think his demands were over the line?

"Your request is entirely unnecessary. These kinds of things are what I despise the most. From my perspective, what you’re proposing is completely unfeasible."

She desperately needed some time to rest.

And besides, her prior surgery had left a psychological scar. If she had to perform another, she wasn’t sure she could even pick up the scalpel again.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell into a deadlock.

But Li Yu already knew this was most likely not going to happen.

So he had no choice but to leave.

"Ji Yu, if you ever decide to cooperate with us, I’ll gladly welcome you at any time." People with her skills were exceptionally rare.

Even now, he still wanted to win Ji Yu over.

Ji Yu maintained her calm demeanor toward the matter.

"You don’t need to welcome me." She had no interest in such things.

She just needed some time to quietly collect herself.

Things had reached a point where whatever Ji Yu said didn’t matter much to Li Yu anymore.

He had done everything he could.

Watching Li Yu walk away, Gu Qixiao couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

"Yu, he’ll definitely come back again. Why don’t you move in with me? I can take care of you then."

Ji Yu naturally rejected the idea. If she really moved in, what would that make their relationship?

So Ji Yu still refused.

"I don’t want to go to your house."

"Then I can move over instead." He genuinely worried about Ji Yu’s condition. Her emotions had already been unstable for a while, and he’d been deeply concerned.

Now, with Li Yu employing such tactics, how could he possibly feel at ease? He absolutely wouldn’t allow this situation to progress unchecked.

Ji Yu felt helpless. "You don’t need to worry about me like this. But honestly, I’m quite relieved about this matter. Given the current situation, it looks like there’s no way their plans will succeed." noveldrama

Those people weren’t fools. How could they fail to recognize such things?

So Ji Yu also felt a sense of relief. As long as no harm was involved, the surgery this time wasn’t really a big deal.

"This matter had nothing to do with you originally." He knew Ji Yu took exceptional care of her friends, but no matter what, this wasn’t her fault.

"I’ve already looked into it. This family has found issues with him. Even if they try to fix it later, it likely won’t work anymore."

Ji Yu chuckled. "Maybe their plan was flawed from the start."

And they were far too impatient. Something like this shouldn’t be rushed, and their actions naturally raised suspicions.

In situations like this, their lack of patience showed.

Seeing that Ji Yu’s mood had significantly improved, Gu Qixiao finally relaxed. "Thank goodness you’re okay."

If anything had truly happened, he’d regret it for the rest of his life.

Luckily, there were no issues now.

Ji Yu couldn’t help but laugh. "You’re just too nervous. And why were you sneaking around to check on that family’s situation?"

Gu Qixiao had been prepared to break his promises to resolve the issue if needed. But he hadn’t expected the family to uncover the problem themselves—of course, it was also the result of their own actions.
