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

Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Want to Forget

Ji Yu was quite at ease with the situation in front of her.

After all, why think so much about someone who wouldn’t matter in the future?

But no one expected Cai Xun to be so shameless.

When Ji Yu received a call from Feng Qinqin, she thought she’d misheard.

"Cai Xun went shopping with the sugar mommy who’s been supporting him yesterday, and today he’s coming to you?" His tactics sure are elaborate.

Feng Qinqin sounded exasperated. "He’s still at my house whining about his misery. The fact that he can even bring himself to do that—unbelievable. Everyone in my family knows what kind of person he is now, and no one is willing to forgive him."

Her family had been holding a grudge against him ever since that business collaboration incident.

Now, seeing Cai Xun, they naturally felt no sympathy.

Ji Yu, thinking about Ji Yuanzhou’s recent frustrations, casually pushed him forward to deal with it.

"You should know, this is Qinqin’s ex-boyfriend—the scumbag one."

Ji Yuanzhou vaguely remembered the man, having met him once before.

Seeing the situation, he immediately placed himself protectively in front of Feng Qinqin.

"If you’re a man, get out of here right now. Do you really think you still have a chance to get back with Qinqin? She’s my woman now."

He had no tolerance for people like this.

Feng Qinqin’s gaze hadn’t left Ji Yuanzhou ever since he’d appeared. The love in her eyes was impossible to conceal.

Cai Xun sneered. "No wonder you’ve been so dismissive from the start. Turns out you already had a backup plan."

Before he could say more, Ji Yuanzhou punched him to the ground.

"Watch your mouth." He was already disgusted by him, and now he dared to spew nonsense like this.

Not to mention that their relationship didn’t last long to begin with.

How could it count as having a backup plan?

"Qinqin, you don’t need to waste words with someone like him. Just kick him out. The things he’s done are unforgivable." Ji Yu didn’t want Feng Qinqin making the same mistake again.

"I know." How could she not?

That period had been the darkest in her life.

Fortunately, in the end, the outcome was good.

All of this no longer impacted her life.

Even now, thinking back to that time, Feng Qinqin still felt a lingering fear.

"Ji Yuanzhou, you don’t need to bother with someone like him. He has nothing to do with me anymore. What he’s done has nothing to do with me." She’d already let go.

She held Ji Yuanzhou’s hand, clearly uninterested in dwelling on Cai Xun any longer.

Seeing the two of them like this, Ji Yu felt a bit more at ease.

Sometimes, opportunities like this need to be seized tightly, or various problems could easily arise later.

"Yuyu, next time we see Cai Xun, let’s just pretend we don’t know him."

After all, Cai Xun still had his "skills" and could even find a sugar mommy to support him at this point.

Ji Yu didn’t have much opinion about it.

Considering that she was still pregnant and with all the earlier issues, there were quite a few bodyguards around her.

Before long, the bodyguards escorted Cai Xun out.

Ji Yuanzhou looked at the scene awkwardly.

"Mr. and Mrs. Feng, I’m sorry for showing up empty-handed today."

He felt this situation was extremely improper.

He couldn’t express just how embarrassed he was.

In fact, his earlier behavior had left a good impression on the Feng family’s elders, so they treated him with kindness. "As long as Qinqin likes you, there’s no need to fuss over such details."

They couldn’t be more devoted to their daughter. Seeing how well the two got along now, they couldn’t be happier.

Feng Qinqin, understanding this too, said, "Yuyu, I think I’m not as scared anymore."

The wounds of the past needed the happiness of the present to heal. noveldrama

Hearing this, Ji Yu felt genuinely happy for them.

"The two of you can keep working on this. You have all the time in the world to explore this relationship."

Love shouldn’t be rushed.

Sometimes initial understanding is fleeting, only for boredom to set in later.

To stay together for the long haul, they’d need to carefully work through things.

Otherwise, who knew what could happen in the future?

Taking in Ji Yu’s words, Feng Qinqin nodded. "Although, your Gu Qixiao seems to be quite busy these days."

It was true—Ji Yu hadn’t seen Gu Qixiao in several days.

"You’re really careless, aren’t you? At a time like this, shouldn’t you be checking on Gu Qixiao? If he suddenly falls for someone else, don’t come crying later."

Ji Yu was nonchalant about it.

"If he really has other options, I’ll step aside. It’s not like I need love to survive."

She was doing just fine now, wasn’t she?

And besides, hadn’t their relationship endured even during times when Gu Qixiao was away for long stretches?

Some things, knowing they could change, weren’t worth dwelling on.

"You—I don’t know whether to call you carefree or just optimistic."

"It’s neither. I just trust that my choice is the best for me." How could she have doubts about someone she loved?

That wouldn’t make sense, which is why Ji Yu always chose to trust Gu Qixiao.

If something really did happen, she would leave immediately.

But no one thought Feng Qinqin’s casual remark would actually lead to trouble.

When Ji Yu saw the news of Gu Qixiao intimately close to another woman, she realized perhaps she wasn’t as detached as she thought.

"Yuyu, maybe there’s some misunderstanding. Gu Qixiao was so good to you before—how could his feelings change just like that?"

Even Feng Qinqin found it unbelievable.

No one had expected this to happen.

Ji Yu didn’t reply, but it was obvious she was furious about it.

"Yuyu, you need to stay calm." Feng Qinqin hoped Ji Yu wouldn’t jump to conclusions.

Ji Yu didn’t want to act rashly either.

She had to ask and clarify things in person.

After all, this wasn’t some trivial matter.

Gu Qixiao was surprised to find Ji Yu at the office; she usually avoided appearing with him in such settings.

"Yu, what brings you here?"

Looking at him, Ji Yu felt a lump in her throat, unable to get the words out.

She really wanted to ask if his recent gestures were genuine or if the rumors had any truth to them.

"Gu Qixiao, don’t you have something you want to tell me?"

Her question caught Gu Qixiao off guard. He genuinely looked puzzled, unsure what was going on with her.

"Did something happen?" he asked, his expression filled with genuine confusion, while he tried to think back on anything that might have gone wrong recently.
