CHAPTER 446: CHAPTER 446: PURSUING YOU

Ji Yu didn’t know what was going on with this person.

Why has he been acting so strangely since they met?

"I just want to pursue my own happiness, that’s all." He spoke these words with complete ease.

"If you don’t believe me, you can test me." Gu Qixiao never did anything he would regret, so upon seeing her for the first time, he decided to pursue her.

Ji Yu was genuinely scared, mainly worried about his health condition.

"If I remember correctly, you should already have a wife, right?"

She bit her lip, still deciding to draw a clear line between them first.

Otherwise, who knows how much trouble could arise later?

"I don’t have a wife." Gu Qixiao felt strangely uncomfortable when he said this.

But since he had already said it, there was nothing for him to regret.

From the beginning, this matter was difficult for him.

"I am someone who stays committed in love for a very long time. If you’re uneasy, you can investigate my past; I’ve never had these issues before. It’s just that when it comes to you, I’m somewhat moved."

This was a feeling even she found incredible.

After over twenty years, he seemed never to have encountered such a situation.

But precisely because of this, Ji Yu was all the more determined to escape from him.

"Gu Qixiao, please leave here as soon as possible. I don’t want to develop any further relationship with you. I already have a fiancé."

She always considered Lin Zhiyuan her fiancé, even though they couldn’t be together for the time being, they could have a good conversation about it later.

For now, though, they needed some time.

"Miss Ji, you aren’t lying to me, are you? I’ve never seen your fiancé. Unless you bring him to me, I won’t believe you."

Ji Yu, at the moment, couldn’t figure out what impulse struck her, but she agreed.

"If you don’t believe me, I’ll bring him in front of you. But today, you won’t be able to see him; he has some matters to attend to."

Ji Yu took a deep breath, unsure why she always encountered this kind of situation.

After returning home, she thought about who she could find to pretend to be her fiancé.

Just then, Lin Zhiyuan came to her looking for some medication information.

Ji Yu recalled previous events and understood that he was a very honest person, so she simply pulled him along to see Gu Qixiao together.

"Yu, do you really want to treat Mr. Gu like this? I think you two could try getting along for now. At the very least, he won’t remember you so soon."

He didn’t think this was a good idea; if the other party misunderstood, that wouldn’t be good.

"Don’t worry, I’ll explain it to him later, but for now, I can’t tolerate any risk happening between us." She was too afraid, so she could only use this method.

In the end, the outcome depended on whether they could develop the antidote.

"Yu, sometimes missing out could cause problems in your relationship; I don’t think this is a good approach."

Considering their past, if misunderstandings arose again due to this incident, it would certainly cause considerable trouble.

"I understand what you mean, but I have no other way now. I can only use this method to temporarily isolate him."

They absolutely couldn’t have too much interaction.

"Even if there’s the slightest possibility, I can’t let such a thing happen." Ji Yu was too aware of how much agony he had gone through at that time, and now she hoped he could calm down and not dwell on the past.

Lin Zhiyuan had no choice but to cooperate with her.

"Brother Lin, don’t worry; he won’t trouble you. Though he may seem harsh sometimes, he wouldn’t do anything illegal."

Sometimes Lin Zhiyuan doubted if Ji Yu really understood Gu Qixiao because someone like him would never show mercy to his enemies.

Especially when the person in question was a romantic rival?

"Yu, when you introduce us later, just say we have no feelings for each other but are engaged."

Otherwise, he’d really worry about not being able to handle the situation later.

"Since Brother Lin has decided to cooperate with me, I won’t refuse such a small request."

She understood Lin Zhiyuan’s concerns and knew they’d need to be careful in the future.

"Yu, I know you have a lot on your mind, but sometimes you don’t need to keep pressing yourself so hard."

Otherwise, it would only leave her feeling more empty inside.

Ji Yu didn’t know what to say. All she knew was that her current situation suited her to live alone, not with anyone else.

When she saw Gu Qixiao, she restrained all her inner emotions.

They were the last people who should be together. Although they loved each other, given the current circumstances, being together would only lead to conflicts.

"Is this Miss Ji’s fiancé? He doesn’t seem particularly familiar with Miss Ji." Gu Qixiao wasn’t a fool and could naturally tell that there wasn’t that intimacy between them.

"Even though we have a commercial marriage, as long as he’s my fiancé, I can’t possibly have any relations with someone else. I’m sure you understand this principle, right?"

In families like theirs, it’s common to have family alliances like these.

But Gu Qixiao was never bothered by marriage alliances; he just wanted to pursue what he liked.

"If it’s just a marriage of convenience, I suggest you be with me. That way, you can get more rewards." He never cared what attracted the other person to him.

It only mattered that the person stayed by his side.

Sometimes Ji Yu found him quite unreasonable.

"Don’t you think your words are absurd? I could never separate from him. Besides, our families have close collaborative relationships. Do you think you can break us apart with just a few words?"

She just got a temporary actor here. How could she possibly back out now?

"Miss Ji, I can offer you more, and the collaboration between your two families isn’t as harmonious as you imagine, is it?"

He’s quite accurate in people judgment.

Lin Zhiyuan isn’t at their level in any sense.

"I don’t know how you became engaged, but the result is the same in the end."
