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

Chapter 185: Chapter 185 Matchmaking

Ji Yu silently murmured an apology in her heart. She could only temporarily blacken the name of this fiancé, even though she hadn’t met him yet. Someone had to make a sacrifice for this matter, after all.

[By the way, Qinqin, don’t argue yet. You can’t imagine how angry I was when I saw it. If you still like Qinqin, you should come here quickly. I think this matter still needs you to step up.]

Originally, Ji Yuanzhou didn’t want to come, but after seeing this message, he found it hard to accept.

He might not like Feng Qinqin, but he absolutely couldn’t allow her to be wronged.

He rushed to the scene in a hurry, only to see Ji Yu and Feng Qinqin sitting together, with Feng Qinqin’s eyes looking a little red.

His mind immediately jumped to the things Ji Yu had said earlier.

He suddenly felt a pang of heartache for all the hardships Feng Qinqin had endured.

"Qinqin, what’s the matter?"

"This has nothing to do with you." Feng Qinqin, in truth, felt a bit happy, but whenever she saw him, she couldn’t help but lament why he was here.

He had clearly stated before that he didn’t like her, so why was he here again? Was he here to mock her?

"Are you here to laugh at me? Does this kind of thing benefit you somehow?"

She had always felt that situations like this were awful.

And yet, for reasons unknown to her, she still wanted to see him. noveldrama

"Don’t be like this..." He wanted to say something comforting to Feng Qinqin, but seeing her like this left him completely speechless.

Off to the side, Ji Yu was growing more and more anxious, utterly confused by her elder brother’s behavior.

Why couldn’t he say a word in a situation like this?

"Brother, why don’t you say the things you’ve said at home? How do you really feel about Qinqin? Can’t you just speak it out loud?"

Did she really need to teach him how to handle matters like this?

For a moment, she didn’t even know what to say.

Perhaps situations like this were indeed painful.

But no matter how hard Ji Yuanzhou tried, he couldn’t get the words out, as if something inside was holding him back.

Ji Yu couldn’t understand what was wrong with him. Was facing someone he liked really this nerve-wracking?

"Brother, say it! At home, you talk so much, even feeling heartbroken over Qinqin’s engagement, and you’ve gone as far as losing your appetite over her. Now, why is even one sentence so hard for you?"

She even mouthed the words "fiancé" at him.

This gave Ji Yuanzhou the courage he desperately needed. "Qinqin, I’m sorry. Actually, I like you, but I never knew how to say it or how to express it. Your fiancé isn’t good for you at all. Come with me."

He still felt somewhat timid.

Perhaps moments like this were a novel experience for him.

Not just Feng Qinqin—even Ji Yu was stunned. Wasn’t that confession perfect?

Feng Qinqin felt utterly shocked. "You said you like me? But why have I never felt that before?"

Every time she asked Ji Yuanzhou, she was met with denial. Situations like this were truly hard to accept.

Feng Qinqin honestly didn’t know how to respond. "Is everything you just said true?"

"It’s true."

After saying those words, he felt a surge of relief, as if he no longer needed to worry so much about what would happen between them.

Clearing the air and speaking honestly made everything better than anything else.

"But my fiancé is still good to me."

Ji Yu felt helpless. Of all times to say this, why now?

Ji Yuanzhou, however, misunderstood, thinking that she was acting out of anger but unable to speak the truth.

"Don’t worry. Even if his family tries to cause trouble for you, I’ll stand by your side. I won’t let you be wronged, no matter what."

Ji Yu was already very familiar with situations like this, so she now stood firmly by Feng Qinqin’s side as well.

"Qinqin, see? Didn’t I say that there was definitely a misunderstanding between you two? Can you talk things through now?"

She understood that they were probably feeling awkward, so she didn’t want to stay and disrupt their conversation.

"I know you two still have plenty to talk about, so I’ll be heading out now."

She left everything else to them.

As Ji Yu left hurriedly, Feng Qinqin felt a little embarrassed. But this time, Ji Yuanzhou firmly held her hand.

"I’m sorry. Before, I didn’t have enough courage. That’s why I let you down and made you cry so much, looking so awful."

"Who are you calling awful?" Feng Qinqin grasped the key point immediately, and the blush on her face vanished.

It was a big deal.

No matter how much she cried, she absolutely wouldn’t look awful!

Ji Yuanzhou realized his slip-up. "That’s not what I meant. I meant you looked so distressed at that time. I didn’t know how to express myself then."

He knew better than to spell things out too explicitly.

Otherwise, he’d end up with a headache.

Meanwhile, Ji Yu had already rushed off elsewhere, knowing full well that their situation required a proper resolution. Otherwise, no one would be able to handle it.

Assistant Li had been observing the matter all along. "Miss Ji, President Gu mentioned he’d be returning tomorrow and asked if there’s anywhere you’d like to go."

"No." Right now, she only wanted a good rest.

Her growing belly was likely the reason for her mounting sleepiness in recent days.

Assistant Li also noticed how much Ji Yu seemed to be sleeping lately and relayed the information to Gu Qixiao.

Gu Qixiao, however, came fully prepared.

When he visited the Ji family, he hadn’t forgotten to bring gifts.

Ji Yu looked at the items with confusion written all over her face.

"Did you bring back an entire supermarket?"

These things were all readily available locally, so why did he have to buy them from abroad?

"I just enjoy buying things for you. Besides, I know you’ll like them."

In the corner sat a small plush toy. Although Ji Yu hadn’t noticed it at first, she quickly saw that it was the centerpiece of the gifts when she caught Gu Qixiao’s expectant gaze.

"Did you make this yourself?" Holding the toy in her arms, she could tell that Gu Qixiao’s craftsmanship had improved significantly since the last time.

Gu Qixiao felt a little embarrassed but admitted it anyway. "I promised you before I’d make a nice plush toy for you. Consider this me fulfilling that promise."

He loved seeing Ji Yu’s happy expression, so gifting her things felt like the best outcome.

Ji Yu felt touched. "Thank you."

She knew how hard Gu Qixiao had been working to change for her.

Gu Qixiao, though, felt this was all as it should be. "These are all things I wanted to give to you."

She genuinely liked situations like this.

She’d known Gu Qixiao’s feelings beforehand, and now she cherished them even more.
