Ji Yu was never a cruel person, so when faced with a situation like this, her instinct was to think it was better not to drag others into the same suffering.
"Look at me and Gu Qixiao. I don't want anyone else to endure this kind of torment. For me, this is awful enough."
Thinking about her and Gu Qixiao's situation, she simply couldn't bear to let others go through the same ordeal.
"If, in the end, there's truly no other option, then let me handle it myself. Even if something unexpected happens, it'll just mean that the two of us were never meant to be."
Ji Yu didn't see anything seriously wrong with this outcome.
At worst, it just meant there was no destiny between them.
"Can you really let go of this?" He had always thought Ji Yu wouldn't be able to truly set her mind at ease over matters like this.
"Of course I can. If I couldn't, how could I possibly make such a choice?" She tried her best to make her words sound light and casual.
