Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 179: Keep Distance

Of course, Song Xuan couldn’t possibly live her life according to Gu Qixiao’s wishes.

When Ji Yu heard him say that, she already knew this matter was likely never going to succeed.

"Her obsession with you isn’t something that can be resolved so quickly."

How could feelings that have lasted this long simply disperse with a few words?

People often appear when you think about them, and it wasn’t long after they finished talking when Song Xuan arrived at the hospital room under the guise of visiting the sick.

Seeing the intimate way the two of them interacted, the jealousy in Song Xuan’s eyes could no longer be suppressed.

"Xiao, you and Doctor Ji aren’t officially together yet, are you? Isn’t it a little inappropriate for you two to act so close?"

She wished she could rush over and separate the two of them this very moment.

But Gu Qixiao clearly didn’t care about such questions. "Yu and I are already together. From now on, you can call her sister-in-law."

Wasn’t this just killing her emotionally?

Song Xuan already disliked Ji Yu and had hoped to marry Gu Qixiao herself. Being asked to call Ji Yu "sister-in-law" was more unbearable than death.

"Xiao, even if you’re planning to get married, you should at least discuss it with the family first. Has Uncle Gu approved this?"

The Gu family still didn’t know about this matter.

But Ji Yu was quite certain that the Gu family wouldn’t oppose them being together.

"We’re dating, not tying each other down. So, there’s nothing wrong with the current situation."

She didn’t think such things needed anyone’s approval.

Besides, Song Xuan’s behavior was clearly a sign of jealousy.

Looking at how intimately the two interacted, Song Xuan’s eyes couldn’t help but redden slightly. But knowing that Gu Qixiao might feel they were being inappropriate later, she pretended as if nothing was wrong.

"Oh, I see. Then I’ll wait until after you officially marry Xiao before I call you sister-in-law."

There was no way she could bring herself to say it now.

Ji Yu didn’t demand that she call her "sister-in-law" either, knowing full well what was on her mind. She only hoped Song Xuan wouldn’t stir up trouble in the future.

Gu Qixiao couldn’t help but feel that Ji Yu seemed indifferent to this matter.

After Song Xuan left, looking heartbroken, he finally couldn’t hold back and asked, "Yu, why do you seem so unconcerned about how we’re being addressed?"

"You mean calling your name?"

Ji Yu didn’t think it was a problem at all.

Besides, they were already so familiar with each other. How could they not know each other’s personalities?

"I mean letting Song Xuan call you sister-in-law."

Ji Yu found it exasperating, feeling that Gu Qixiao was genuinely obtuse about this matter. "Do you think calling me sister-in-law will make her truly see me that way?"

Using such titles wouldn’t change anything. It only meant that Song Xuan now knew about their relationship.

"In her heart, she’ll never consider me her sister-in-law. So even if she says it, it wouldn’t mean anything, don’t you think?"

She looked at Gu Qixiao helplessly.

But she understood what Gu Qixiao meant. She even found his approach a little endearing. "Why are you acting so different from your usual self? If you want a sense of formal recognition, just say so directly. Why go around in circles?"

Gu Qixiao cleared his throat, acknowledging that this was indeed a bit embarrassing. "That’s not exactly what I meant. I just think our relationship should be known to more people."

He was prepared to slowly inform his family. No matter how many people opposed their being together, he was determined they would remain together.

Ji Yu couldn’t help but find the man before her especially lovable.

But she didn’t know what to say.

"Gu Qixiao, I’ll give you the official recognition you want, but there’s no need to force things to prove anything."

Sooner or later, everyone would know about their relationship.

Standing at the doorway, Lu Xingchen seemed stunned to hear these words, frozen in place.

It was only when Gu Qixiao noticed his presence that he reacted.

"Why are you here?"

Lu Xingchen’s expression was dazed, as though he hadn’t yet processed what was happening.

"I came to see Yu."

Upon learning that Ji Yu was injured, he had been worried. But he hadn’t expected to stumble upon such a scene.

Just seeing this left his mood in utter disarray.

"Yu, you..."

He didn’t know how to start, likely angry with himself for always being a step behind.

He had already confessed his feelings before. So why was he missing out now on such important moments?

Ji Yu didn’t know what he was thinking. She thought he might have something he couldn’t say directly. "Xingchen, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry too much about me." frёewebηovel.cѳm

Lu Xingchen opened his mouth several times but didn’t know what to say. He merely looked at Gu Qixiao, feeling an unbearable sense of discomfort. "Yu, what’s going on between you and him?"

He just wanted to know if Ji Yu truly liked someone else.

But Ji Yu had no other hidden intentions.

"I’m with him now. He’s my boyfriend."

Being openly acknowledged in front of a love rival, Gu Qixiao couldn’t help but feel delighted. Especially when he saw Lu Xingchen’s face darken with displeasure — it made him even happier.

"When did the two of you get together? Isn’t this a bit too hasty?"

"This time, I owe a lot to Gu Qixiao. And we’ve already had feelings for each other; I was just hesitant about some things before." She was very aware of the past.

And during that time, her hesitation must have caused considerable pain to Gu Qixiao.

Whenever she thought about those moments, Ji Yu felt she had been cruel. Why had she hesitated back then?

In matters of the heart, no amount of hesitation could ever change certain truths.

Gu Qixiao’s heart ached as he heard her words. "It’s natural to hesitate when faced with such significant decisions."

He believed it was only right to take time with such things.

But Lu Xingchen felt it was his own failings. If only he had learned earlier about Ji Yu being in danger, would things have turned out differently?

"Xingchen, have you been very busy lately?"

He had indeed been busy, and his manager didn’t want him to get too close to Ji Yu, so he had to stay away temporarily.

He had thought there would be enough time to get closer to Ji Yu. But now, things had turned out like this.

He was furious at himself for not caring about Ji Yu more at that crucial time.

"Yes, I’ve been busy. I squeezed in time to see you today. Since you’re fine, I’ll leave now."

In the end, Lu Xingchen couldn’t sit idly by and watch them be together so peacefully. He desperately wanted to ask why Ji Yu had made that choice.

But the words simply wouldn’t come out.
