Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 499: Seeing Through It

Ji Yu didn’t really know what she wanted to say.

She only knew that the situation in front of her was truly a bit of a struggle.

"Yu, I’ve already let go of all these things. You don’t need to feel upset about it anymore."

Today, the father and daughter finally had a heart-to-heart talk.

But even so, Ji Yu didn’t forget about her work.

By the second day of her hospitalization, she had already moved her work into the hospital.

"Yu, you must think you’ve been living too well to torment yourself like this. Just leave these tasks to me. Look at the state you’re in right now—all worn out. If you keep going like this, I’m afraid I’ll be scolded to death by everyone."

He genuinely couldn’t bear to see his daughter working so tirelessly.

"Dad, it’s not that exhausting. I’m just reviewing some contracts. Besides, handing these over to you would take some time to go through anyway, so it’s better if I handle it myself."

She understood that transitioning responsibilities would take significant time, so she chose to do it herself instead.

She also couldn’t bear to let Hu Jianyu keep overworking himself.

"Your daughter is already back now, so of course you can take a proper rest. If you keep wearing yourself out, then what’s the point of having a daughter like me?"

Ji Yu had always believed she could protect Hu Jianyu.

But that was never what Hu Jianyu truly wanted.

"You’re my little princess, the one I hold in the palm of my hand. How could you be worrying about all this? I handed the company to you so you could live a life without worries, not so you could achieve great things with it."

He was willing to let Ji Yu squander his company if it meant her happiness.

But Ji Yu didn’t think that kind of behavior was right.

"Dad, I don’t have many strengths, but when it comes to certain things, I do have my principles. If I’m going to do something, I have to do it to the best of my ability."

Ji Yu was unwavering when it came to such matters.

Seeing her like this, he didn’t know what else to say.

He only thought that the best thing for her right now was to get some rest.

"Yu, why do you always think so much? I know you’re a filial child, but this situation isn’t the way you think it is."

He wanted Ji Yu to relax and rest. In times like these, he didn’t need her to do anything for him.

All he wanted was a healthy and happy daughter.

Ji Yu realized that, though Hu Jianyu didn’t say much on the surface, deep down, he was still worried about her.

If anything bad were to happen to Ji Yu, it would devastate him.

"Yu, you absolutely can’t let anything happen to you. You’re my only daughter—you’re my spiritual pillar. If something were to happen to you, I really wouldn’t have any reason to go on living."

His heart was truly weighed down with sorrow.

Ji Yu didn’t know what to say. She silently set aside the work in her hands and looked at the man before her, whose hair was already streaked with gray, feeling deeply pained.

"Dad, I promise you, nothing will happen to me. Please don’t carry this mental burden anymore."

In the end, she couldn’t bear to see Hu Jianyu so distressed.

In the days that followed, Ji Yu behaved herself and didn’t waste any time on such matters.

A week into her hospital stay, she was finally able to move around more freely. When she saw the familiar face before her, Ji Yu wasn’t particularly surprised.

"Since we’re friends, there shouldn’t be any problem with me picking you up from the hospital, right?"

Gu Qixiao had no other excuse; he could only approach her under the guise of being a friend.

Ji Yu didn’t have much of a reaction to the situation.

"Alright, since you’ve found me, how could I refuse?"

Since he claimed they were friends, she decided to handle it straightforwardly.

When it came to such matters, Ji Yu was particularly forthright.

"Seeing you smile now, I feel like I have no regrets."

Hearing his words, Ji Yu couldn’t help but smile.

"Since you’re already here, why don’t you help me move all this stuff?"

Ji Yu didn’t hold back. Already feeling weak, she naturally put him to work as labor.

Gu Qixiao didn’t complain.

He directly sent Ji Yu back to the Hu family home.

"Yu, what’s going on with you two?" Ji Yuanzhou had arrived as well, and seeing the situation, he appeared a bit lost.

He couldn’t quite figure out the nature of their relationship. Previously, it was said their relationship was quite strained, but judging by the current scene, it was hard to understand.

"We’re friends now."

Ji Yuanzhou’s lip twitched slightly. He couldn’t tell how the two had managed to arrive at this arrangement.

How did things end up like this?

And considering they already had a child together, how could there still be issues?

But since they had described it this way, it seemed best to leave it at that.

Seeing Ji Yuanzhou’s incredulous expression, Ji Yu knew he was likely trying to make sense of the situation, too.

"Big brother, I’m not conflicted about it, so why are you? There’s nothing complicated between the two of us—we just need some time to communicate things properly."

On this matter, she appeared quite calm and collected.

But Ji Yuanzhou still found it difficult to accept.

He had always thought that if the two of them couldn’t be together, it would indeed be a pity.

But now they hadn’t exactly separated, nor were they fully together. This outcome was just as baffling, if not more so.

"Yu, you should seriously think this over. You can’t just give up so easily on this matter. I know there are a lot of unresolved issues in your heart."

He mainly didn’t want them to have any lingering regrets.

It had been hard enough for them to come together in the first place. If issues arose at this point, how unfortunate it would be.

"Brother, don’t worry. If an opportunity arises, the two of us will definitely reconcile. But for now, isn’t it just a special situation?"

Ji Yu didn’t quite know how to explain their current predicament, but her main goal was to keep the Ji family from worrying.

It was already a blessing that only a few people were aware of the situation.

"Big brother, I’m really fine. In a few days, I’ll go visit Mom and Dad. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen them."

Recently, Ji Yu had been overwhelmed with everything going on, which was why she hadn’t gone home. It was no wonder her family had started to worry.

Seeing that she was unwilling to continue the conversation, Ji Yuanzhou didn’t press further.

"Yu, you still look a bit unwell—you must take care of yourself and rest properly. Don’t let anything happen. I’ll always be here for you."

As her older brother, he naturally had to ensure his sister’s well-being.
