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

Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Thoughts and Longings

"I know you care about this, so I’ll naturally pay more attention. No matter what it is, as long as you care about it, I’ll definitely focus on it a bit more."

She knew very well that Gu Qixiao genuinely cared about her matters.

"You should pay some attention to your own matters as well. I heard that something happened to Song Xuan recently?"

"Yes." He didn’t feel much about Song Xuan’s situation—primarily, it was because she often caused trouble before.

"I took care of her in the past out of respect for her brother, and now I’ve helped her fix her face and even assisted her with many things. But for her to treat me this way, even the last bit of consideration has faded."

She understood clearly that these things shouldn’t go on anymore.

She could handle her own issues, but with so much happening in Gu Qixiao’s life, who could help him?

"Gu Qixiao, you need to calm down and take a step back. You can’t be so obsessed with my matters."

Gu Qixiao didn’t think there was anything wrong with such an approach. "You’re the person I like. Doing things for you is only natural, so no matter what happens, I’ll always stand by your side."

His thoughts were crystal clear.

Ji Yu actually hoped he could focus on living his own life.

"No matter what Song Xuan has done, she’s still the sister of someone who saved your life. You should protect her regardless. Please don’t act this way."

She had no particular opinion about Song Xuan’s situation.

It was precisely because she knew Song Xuan posed no threat to her that she could act this way.

"Yu, aren’t you afraid that something might actually happen between the two of us someday?"

"What’s mine, no one can take away. What’s not mine, there’s no point forcing it, no matter what I do." She wasn’t willing to force these kinds of things.

At the very least, from the current situation, she could still hold her ground.

Hearing this, Gu Qixiao felt a hint of helplessness. "You should, at least once in a while, show me that you care. That way, I’d do absolutely anything for you."

All he wanted was for Ji Yu to show she cared about him a little. If she did, he’d be willing to do anything.

Ji Yu couldn’t help but laugh at his words. "If I show that I care about you, I can exploit you? Can’t I already do that now?"

Come to think of it, that made sense.

Gu Qixiao even started to reflect—had he really gone too far? Was that why he had these thoughts about Ji Yu?

"Did I really overdo it?"

"You put too much importance on my matters. If, in the end, we two can’t end up together, you’ll be the one who gets hurt the most." She didn’t mention that, deep down, she also cared; after all, this kind of thing would undoubtedly be painful.

"We will absolutely end up together."

He spoke with unwavering determination.

He had already decided long ago that no matter how difficult the road ahead, he would never give up on Ji Yu.

"I know you’ve been abandoned before, so this is something you care about deeply. But I’ll never treat you like your ex-husband did."

At first, Ji Yu didn’t think much of it, but toward the end of his statement, she almost couldn’t keep her composure.

While Gu Qixiao’s words were meant to be reassuring, the mention of her ex-husband did catch her off guard.

Their relationship really was complicated. noveldrama

Gu Qixiao simply believed that her ex-husband had deeply hurt Ji Yu, which was why she had such emotions. "Yu, what’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I probably just need some sleep." She could only admit that the situation was too awkward—she feared that if she stayed any longer, she might burst out laughing.

Gu Qixiao didn’t overthink it, assuming that Ji Yu was just tired, so he handled the situation with care. "I’ll join you for some rest, then."

"No need, I’ll rest on my own." Right now, she couldn’t even look Gu Qixiao in the eye.

Didn’t Gu Qixiao have any curiosity or interest in digging up what had happened between the two of them?

It seemed that Gu Qixiao was overly naïve, which made him completely let his guard down in such matters.

Gu Qixiao simply assumed Ji Yu had something on her mind, so he left to give her some space.

After returning to her room, Ji Yu immediately started discussing with Feng Qinqin whether she should clarify the whole thing to Gu Qixiao. Otherwise, wouldn’t this just get more awkward?

"I feel like I’m dying of awkwardness whenever I see Gu Qixiao now. I can’t believe he’s actually never looked into my past, not even once."

She rubbed her forehead in frustration.

Feng Qinqin was laughing so hard she was almost crowing. She’d mentioned before how sharp Gu Qixiao was in business matters but how mindlessly foolish he was about Ji Yu’s situation.

"Yuyu, your story with him is truly fascinating—round and round you’ve gone, only to end up together. But it’s absolutely hilarious that he has no idea about this matter."

This could practically be turned into a drama series.

"When he mentioned today that he wouldn’t treat me like my ex-husband, my emotions at that moment were truly a mix of feelings."

To think they previously admired Gu Qixiao’s persistence in dealing with this matter, but now it seemed quite funny in hindsight.

"Before, I thought Gu Qixiao might be scheming and intentionally toying with you. Turns out, we were overthinking it. He’s really, genuinely into you."

She’d actually noticed it long ago, especially this time around. Watching Gu Qixiao running around everywhere, his focus solely on Ji Yu’s safety while disregarding everything else, made it obvious he’d never let Ji Yu go again.

"It’s a good thing that the two of you are finally together, but maybe it’s better not to bring up the topic directly—otherwise, wouldn’t it just get even more awkward?"

Gu Qixiao had badmouthed her ex-husband quite a few times already. If he found out that ex-husband was actually himself, who knew how awkward things would get?

"But we can’t just keep it hidden forever either. Gu Qixiao’s already planning to take me home to meet his parents. Uncle Gu wouldn’t possibly fail to recognize me this quickly, right?"

No matter how you looked at it, the whole situation was strange.

Hearing this, Feng Qinqin became even more certain—Gu Qixiao was head over heels for Ji Yu. Still, his actions in the past truly had been terrible.

"You two really share a bond wrought of fate, tangled in love and suffering. I don’t even know what to say. But you should think carefully before bringing it up."

If something went wrong, things wouldn’t end well.

"From what I can see, the two of you are in love with each other now. Since that’s the case, don’t overthink it. Just focus on being happy together. I’m sure that’s what both of you want, too."

She hoped Ji Yu and Gu Qixiao could both be happy. After all, it had taken so much effort for them to get to where they were. Some things simply had to be held onto.

"He treats you very well, so I’ll let go of my past grudges. You two should get along and make sure nothing goes wrong." She hoped Ji Yu could find happiness. After all, Ji Yu and Gu Qixiao loved each other, and now they even had a child together.
