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

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Wanting a Title

"I want an official title." Gu Qixiao looked at her with utmost seriousness, without a hint of joking.

It hadn’t been easy for the two of them to end up together in the first place.

Now, he was feeling a bit insecure.

This was the first time Ji Yu had heard such an absurd notion. Shouldn’t *she* be the one feeling insecure?

"How can you feel insecure about something like this? We’ve been together for so long. Don’t you trust me by now?"

"I trust you." But there were some things that were better settled—this way, they could both feel at ease.

Ji Yu still needed some mental preparation for this, so she rejected him without hesitation.

"Just wait a bit longer. Once I’ve thought it through, I’ll definitely go with you to meet the parents. But not now."

Gu Qixiao had always been curious about what she truly thought, why she would have such concerns.

Was there something between them that couldn’t be discussed?

But seeing how troubled she looked, he couldn’t bring himself to push her further.

"I can wait for the day when you’re fully willing. No matter how long it takes, I’m willing to wait for you."

To him, something like this was never a big deal.

"Actually, there’s no need to be so insistent. Whether we take that step or not makes no real difference."

She had understood from the very beginning that their relationship was somewhat complicated.

In fact, she really wanted to say it outright.

But it seemed like bringing it up would make things awkward between them. Perhaps it was better to wait a while longer.

"Don’t overthink it. Something like this is actually very normal." noveldrama

"Really?" His expression showed a trace of disbelief.

"Of course it’s true. I’ve never thought of abandoning you or anything like that. We’re already together, and we have a child. Why are you worrying so much?"

She couldn’t help but look exasperated.

All things considered, their situation was indeed quite complicated. Even if they wanted to keep things simple, it wouldn’t be easy.

"Stop fixating on meeting my parents or whatnot. You’ve already met my parents, haven’t you? I’d never just give up on you."

Gu Qixiao felt a bit embarrassed, too. Even he didn’t know why this mattered so much to him.

Perhaps it was only by truly being together that such feelings could be resolved.

"Yu, I don’t know if you despise me, but my feelings for you are absolutely genuine."

He was unusually persistent about such matters. No matter how many times he had brought it up, he still showed no intention of letting it go.

That evening, Ji Yu couldn’t resist bringing it up to Feng Qinqin.

"Doesn’t this just prove he really likes you? It’s such a simple matter. The two of you being together is a good thing." Qinqin said while applying a face mask. Even she knew how hard it had been for the two of them to get together.

"I just feel like meeting him would be incredibly awkward. After all, I know Uncle Gu so well. And now, meeting him as his daughter-in-law—wouldn’t that be awkward?"

Any way she looked at it, such a meeting was bound to feel uncomfortable.

"You’re overthinking it. When the time comes, you two meet, and who knows? Maybe Uncle Gu will even be delighted. After all, you two had such a good relationship before."

Such a situation should logically bring more joy than tension.

"But I still feel uneasy." Especially considering she was now carrying their child—there was an unshakable feeling, as if she were leveraging the baby to bargain with them.

"You’re just overthinking it. How could anyone oppose the two of you being together? Think about Uncle Gu’s attitude toward you before. Does he seem like the kind of person who’d reject you?"

With a child involved, Mr. Gu was likely to be the happiest of all.

"Yuyu, I have to say, you really should give him a sense of security. Just like he said—only after the two of you are truly united will he feel safe."

This time, Gu Qixiao’s earnestness was beyond question.

"At first, I didn’t think you two would work out. But now, I feel like you’re perfect for each other."

Being together, they should have endless things to talk about, and they could take care of each other.

Ji Yu didn’t say anything, but she began to wonder if perhaps it was time to meet the family before addressing other matters.

Even if it was truly awkward, there was no need to worry.

"Stop talking about me. How’s your situation with my brother? After what happened last time, you both should know just how much you mean to each other."

Feng Qinqin looked a little embarrassed. In truth, things between them were still quite complicated. Getting to this point had been no small feat.

"Recently, your brother brought up the idea of getting engaged. I’m not sure if I should agree, though. After all, things between us still aren’t entirely certain."

"How could they not be? If he openly told you he loves you, it means he truly does care for you." Ji Yu knew Ji Yuanzhou’s character very well.

He wasn’t the kind of person to casually toy with someone’s feelings. The way he was acting now could only mean that things between them were genuine.

"Yuyu, I’m just scared. After everything I’ve been through, there are so many unresolved tensions between us. I’m afraid those tensions will surface again in the future."

Her concerns were completely understandable, given how complex things had been in the past. She was still haunted by the shadows of those experiences.

"It’s normal to have those concerns. Just let my brother keep pursuing you for now."

Ji Yu had a great deal of patience when it came to matters like these.

"Yuyu, I really want to forget the past and just be with him. But honestly, it’s been hard for me."

The past was like a thorn lodged in her heart. Removing it would take considerable time.

"He needs to atone for what he’s done. Only by treating you doubly well from now on will the scars from the past truly heal."

Ji Yu didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. After all, relationships required a fair share of adjustment and growth.

She and Gu Qixiao had gone through a similar process. Even now, some of the things Gu Qixiao had done in the past still lingered in her memory.

"Hearing you say that, I realize how much I also care about the past." Her expression turned helpless. Perhaps such matters really were heartbreaking after all.

"Yuyu, the two of you are doing well. You’re different from us."

At the very least, Ji Yu seemed genuinely happy now.

"You have his wholehearted devotion, while I’m still uncertain if I’ll truly be able to be with him."

"Then leave it all to time. Even if you don’t get engaged right now, my parents already know about the two of you." Ji Yu wasn’t in any rush to push her.
