Chapter 204: The Course of Events
Ji Yu didn’t understand why he was so fixated on this matter, but since they had already laid everything out clearly, this issue probably wouldn’t crop up so easily again.
"Yu, get some rest."
It was the first time he realized that some things could actually make a person feel afraid. Before, someone like Gu Qixiao would never have hesitated about such matters.
But now, for Ji Yu, he truly didn’t dare to tell the truth.
This situation troubled him deeply, to the point where even Ji Yu felt that something about him seemed a bit off.
"Why do I feel like you’ve been avoiding me lately? Is there something you’re not telling me?"
"No, it’s just that work has been particularly busy lately," he answered without the slightest hesitation.
Although Ji Yu remained somewhat skeptical, seeing how his expression genuinely reflected some stress, she chose not to press further by the end.
But later, while having a meal with Feng Qinqin, she brought it up, "I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I feel like Gu Qixiao has been acting a little strange lately. Yet, I can’t seem to pinpoint exactly what’s off."
It was something that required further thought.
Feng Qinqin was startled, but she knew this was absolutely not something Ji Yu could find out about. "You’re overthinking it. You know he’s been busy handling things for you recently. How could he possibly be hiding anything from you?"
She understood perfectly that everything Gu Qixiao had been doing was for Ji Yu. Sometimes, such matters needed to be covered up with well-intentioned lies.
