"I tried so many ways, but she still loves freedom more and has even started to suspect me. I really don’t know what she wants—I’ve already given her everything."

Perhaps it’s because this rtionship was built on deception from the very beginning.

That’s why Ji Yu is particrly sensitive about these kinds of things.

"Yu is someone who’s highly perceptive about the things around her. After what you’ve done, it’s impossible for her topromise on this matter."

Whenever he thought about Ji Yu’s current situation, Gu Qixiao couldn’t help but feel heartache.

"What you’ve done to her was nothing but coercion. She’s clearly someone who needs freedom, yet you deprived her of her memory and broke her wings. These are things she can’t forgive." Gu Qixiao had spent some time trying to adjust to Ji Yu’s personality.

He knew that Ji Yu was passionate about her career. After what happened, Ji Yu was bound to resent those who stood in her way.

"How I interact with Yu is none of your business. Besides, that doesn’t matter to me. What matters is that she’ll stay by my side."

Gu Qixiao stayed silent but already had ns. As soon as Madam Ji’s condition improved and she left, he would definitely bring Ji Yu back.

To him, Ji Yu was far too important.

"Don’t think that just because Auntie recovers, you’ll be able to act arrogant. When the timees, I can use other means to make you submit."

"Do you really think these tactics work? You know Yu feels nothing for you, yet you still do these things. Don’t you realize how pathetic you’re being?" He found himself speechless every time he considered this.

How could anyone have such a twisted perspective?

A real romantic rtionship would never begin like this.

"Then what am I supposed to do? I’ve tried everything, but Yu still doesn’t love me. This is the only way I have left. I don’t have your talent for making her fall for me, so the least I can do is make her stay."

If he couldn’t win Ji Yu’s heart, then at least he’d have her physical presence.

This oue wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Gu Qixiao couldn’t fathom what the man before him was thinking. Did he really believe that keeping someone captive just to watch them suffer was a good idea?

Of course not.

More importantly, this man didn’t even understand love, yet he stubbornly insisted on being with Ji Yu.

The torment Ji Yu endured was entirely his doing.

"My view on love is what it is, so no matter how many times you try to exin, the result will be the same."

His feelings for Ji Yu were purely possessive.

He truly couldn’t understand what Gu Qixiao was thinking. Could he ept his beloved not being by his side?

Such an oue was utterly uneptable to him.

Gu Qixiao found it hard to let go of Ji Yu as well, but he knew that if things dragged on, Ji Yu would undoubtedly suffer.

So, in the end, he chose to let her go.

But none of that mattered. What mattered was that Ji Yu wanted to stay with him.

"Even if you keep going like this, Yu will never love you. You’ve got such a promising future; why throw yourself into these pathetic circumstances?"

Looking at Xia Chuanhe, he truly couldn’t understand him.

After all, Xia Chuanhe had worked hard to achieve his sess.

Yet now, he was entirely tied down by matters of the heart.

"My business doesn’t require your meddling. Who do you think you are?"

Hepletely dismissed Gu Qixiao’s words, wanting nothing more than love at the moment.

Seeing how impossible it was to reason with Xia Chuanhe, Gu Qixiao decided it was better to say nothing.

"This isn’t that big of a deal. Just make sure you protect her and don’t let her get hurt."

Ji Yu was an exceptionally strong-willed person, but after going through something like this, she was bound to carry a burden.

After leaving, Gu Qixiao sought Zhang Yuze to learn about Ji Yu’s recent state.

"Honestly, Ji Yu’s been doing quite welltely. Aside from her interactions with Xia Chuanhe, everything is going smoothly."

Whenever he thought about Ji Yu’s situation, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy. If only he had the talent Ji Yu possessed, how much better would things be.

But s, he could never match Ji Yu.

"As long as she’s happy, that’s enough." Yet Gu Qixiao still hoped that one day Ji Yu would remember him. Though the odds were slim, he simply wished she wouldn’t forget him entirely.

"Aren’t you Ji Yu’s fiancé? Actually, Ji Yu still has some traces of memory about you, but those have been reced with Xia Chuanhe now. So, she may be feeling some aversion toward you."

But it wouldn’t stay like that forever.

"I understand." How could Gu Qixiao not understand?

He cautiously wanted to protect Ji Yu, but now Ji Yu had forgotten him. It sounded so tragic, yet he was willing to take his time maintaining this connection.

"Alright. I don’t really have much else to say. Honestly, Ji Yu hasn’t been doing anything elsetely—she’s just been busy with work. You can tell she truly loves her job."

To Ji Yu, this job was essential.

She could watch as people’s faces returned to their original expressions—a feeling that gave Ji Yu great satisfaction.

But now, because of Xia Chuanhe, there was nothing she could do.

"One day, she’lle back. Besides, she’s still pregnant. When it’s all over and she returns to work, perhaps things will be better."

Previously, he hoped Ji Yu would take a proper break. Now, even if this wasn’t the way he wanted her to rest, he was happy as long as Ji Yu didn’t obsess too much over these matters.

"Actually, Xia Chuanhe isn’t entirely unreasonable—he’s just extreme at times, far too stubborn about this rtionship."

"I know." But that didn’t erase the harm Xia Chuanhe had caused Ji Yu.

After all, Ji Yu’s yearning for freedom now stemmed from how terrible the recent events had been.

"I can understand his intentions, but the fact remains that he hurt Yu."

Zhang Yuze could no longer defend Xia Chuanhe, only hoping the situation wouldn’t turn too awkward in the end.

"Since everything’s pretty much resolved, I’ll be heading off. I hope you all reunite soon."

Not knowing what else to say, he simply wished for their reunion.

"Thank you."
