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

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Worrying About Each Other

Gu Qixiao had to admit he was a very greedy person. Once he met someone he liked, he wanted to keep everything firmly in his grasp.

"Yu, your matters could never be trouble for me. And I’ve said it before — no matter what happens, I’ll help you."

Ji Yu couldn’t help but laugh at his expression. It was as if no matter what she did, he would always stand by her side.

"Would you still support me even if I broke the law?" She was only joking casually, but she hadn’t expected him to actually nod in agreement.

For a moment, Ji Yu didn’t know what to say.

A love-struck fool like this was rare indeed — someone willing to stand by her unconditionally to this extent.

"Yu, to me, your matters are the most important. So never be afraid to trouble me. These so-called troubles are exactly what I want."

He couldn’t be happier about it. Being able to help Ji Yu brought him immense joy.

"Yu, as long as you’re willing to stay by my side, nothing else matters." For a moment, Ji Yu didn’t know what to say. Perhaps the bond between them really did have a captivating allure.

Even she, who had initially told herself not to get so deeply involved in a relationship, was beginning to lose herself a little in this love.

"Gu Qixiao, if you treat me like this, you’ll spoil me rotten." What she feared most was something like this happening — if he ever left, it would be her greatest heartbreak.

"Don’t worry. Even if I spoil you, I would never leave you. To me, your matters are the most important. No matter what you do, I’ll support you."

As he said this, he seemed worried she wouldn’t believe him and quickly added, "You’ll understand after you meet my family. If I really dared to mistreat you, I probably wouldn’t even need you to retaliate — they’d kick me out first."

His family would never allow something like that to happen.

Ji Yu had no doubts about this.

"Let me think about meeting the family a bit longer. I know you’re eager, but I still can’t quite come to terms with it. Maybe we should wait until the baby is born before meeting them."

This matter was somewhat awkward. Besides, the issue with the baby should probably be postponed too — showing up with a big belly just wouldn’t feel right.

Gu Qixiao wasn’t as fixated on this matter now. Since they were already together, there was no need to make things unnecessarily uncomfortable.

The way they were now, they were actually doing quite well.

"Gu Qixiao, I feel like you’ve changed a lot." It had only been a day, but he seemed much less stubborn about the matter now.

"It’s because I understand very well that if it’s something you don’t want to do, even if I push you, it won’t work. This way, things are actually quite fine. Why insist on something that doesn’t really matter?"

Some things just weren’t worth overthinking, like their current situation — there was no need to get hung up on it.

"I know you love me, and that’s enough." The rest could be left to time. They still had a long, long road ahead of them.

Ji Yu couldn’t help but smile, knowing he still secretly hoped to meet her family — it just wasn’t the right time yet.

"Let’s head back." She figured they still needed to prepare in case Li Yu acted unexpectedly. The people around her couldn’t afford to be caught off guard.

"Who knows what he might do? But over on Qinqin’s side, my brother is protecting her, so there shouldn’t be any immediate danger. It’s your safety I’m worried about."

"You don’t need to worry about my safety." Gu Qixiao appreciated her concern, but as a man, he felt it was his responsibility to handle such matters.

"Yu, no matter what happens, I’ll stay by your side. And for something as simple as this, how could I possibly fail?"

He would keep himself alive just to stay by her side.

Ji Yu leaned on his shoulder, listening to the rhythm of his heartbeat.

"I know, but I just wanted to remind you. After all, these things can be dangerous. I’d feel uneasy if you were on your own."

"If anyone should be worried, it’s me." Gu Qixiao hadn’t forgotten that the other side still harbored feelings for Ji Yu.

The two of them kept chatting in fragmented bits, fully aware that any cooperation with Li Yu was impossible — his actions were utterly despicable in their eyes.

After returning, Ji Yu reflected for a bit and decided to give Feng Qinqin an early warning. Otherwise, if they let their guard down, it would be too easy to get caught unawares.

Feng Qinqin was also exasperated with Li Yu. Though she’d felt some guilt toward him in the past, the kidnapping incident clearly revealed his issues were pre-existing and not caused by her walking away.

"What is he even trying to accomplish? It’s not like we could ever help him, yet he insists on bothering us. Doesn’t he have anything better to do?" Feng Qinqin couldn’t make sense of his logic.

With all that time spent harassing them, he could’ve gone and done something more productive, resolving things properly.

Ji Yu knew these matters would take time to sort out.

After all, Li Yu had always been stubborn about certain things.

"Judging by the current situation, it seems like I’ve dragged you all into this mess. Be careful, and if anything happens, notify me right away. I’ll come find you immediately."

She understood this all too well and hoped nothing unexpected would happen.

Feng Qinqin didn’t agree with her perspective at all.

"If I hadn’t gotten engaged to him, you wouldn’t even be involved in this mess. I know this has nothing to do with you, so you don’t need to take all the responsibility onto yourself."

With a sigh, she admitted that part of her engagement had been to spite Ji Yuanzhou. She never expected things to turn out this way. noveldrama

"I regret getting tangled up in this in the first place. If I hadn’t, we wouldn’t still be worrying about it now."

She knew that once you got involved with someone like this, there’d be no end to the troubles they’d send your way.

"For now, we’ll just have to take it one step at a time." Ji Yu wasn’t too bothered by it — after all, she had been his initial target from the very beginning.

"No matter what happens, don’t get yourself involved."
