Chapter 162: I Am Her Husband
Gu Qixiao’s arrival made the atmosphere awkward in an instant.
Especially Lin Chujian, who had just spoken. Her expression turned particularly unpleasant, probably because she couldn’t figure out why he was standing here to speak up for Ji Yu.
"Gu Qixiao, you haven’t even married Ji Yu. Even if you step in, it’s useless."
"Why would it be useless? The child in her belly is mine. We’re in love. Isn’t it normal for us to be together?" He spoke with such composure, as if it were Lin Chujian’s thoughts that were the problem.
He grabbed Ji Yu’s hand directly, unwilling to let anyone point fingers at her.
Ji Yu hadn’t expected him to arrive this quickly.
And that sentence he had just said—it was impossible for her not to take notice.
"Gu Qixiao, you shouldn’t be getting involved in this. People will misunderstand you."
She didn’t want Gu Qixiao to get into trouble because of her.
Today, her confrontation with the members of the Lin family had been an act, trying to push them into the position of the oppressors. Now, Gu Qixiao’s appearance would only cause him to be dragged into the mire.
"I’m your husband. Why should I fear such misunderstandings?" His gaze toward Ji Yu was resolute, as if standing by her was only natural.
