Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 502: Don’t Want It This Way

"But you must understand that if you kill someone, things will turn into an entirely different scenario." Ji Yu wasn’t a selfish person, but she couldn’t bear to see such an outcome.

"I just don’t want you to worry. I know you’re still deeply concerned about him; your relationship with him is quite good. If anything happens later, it should be addressed first."

Gu Qixiao didn’t see any problems with this matter. The two of them should settle it before moving forward.

Ji Yu shook her head, feeling like there was a hurdle in her heart that she couldn’t overcome.

"I don’t even know how to put this, but this matter is indeed very complicated. It’s not just about the two of us anymore; it involves so many other people. If Jiang Huai really ends up dead, things could spiral out of control." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

No one wanted things to get that bad.

Besides, Lin Zhiyuan surely understood this matter deep down.

So from the very beginning, he was just testing the waters.

"Gu Qixiao, don’t overthink it. Regarding the things behind all this, I don’t want to say much—for now, I just hope that the outcome won’t be as disastrous as I fear."

She still had many other matters she needed to focus on.

If she had to kill Jiang Huai, she couldn’t even begin to estimate the mental toll it would take.

In truth, Jiang Huai knew better than anyone else that if someone were to kill him, the best person to do it would be Ji Yu.

"You might as well just kill Ji Yu directly. Do you think, with the way she is now, she would ever fall for you?"

Fan Mingxing had never seen him in such a pathetic state before.

In the entire organization, there were very few people who could make Jiang Huai end up this way.

What happened now was undeniably shocking.

But Ji Yu didn’t make her words overly harsh.

He continued to hold onto hope.

"You wouldn’t understand our feelings." Jiang Huai stubbornly believed that there was still something between them. If they gave up now, things would only get worse in the future.

But Fan Mingxing could clearly see that this had been one-sided from the very beginning.

"If you truly care, I advise you not to keep torturing yourself like this. In an environment like this, you’ll only make everything around you even worse."

He didn’t want to see Jiang Huai like this; most importantly, Jiang Huai had many responsibilities to handle.

"I assume you came to see me today about collaboration. Let me tell you this: I will never give Gu Qixiao the antidote. People like him deserve to be killed first."

He had never entertained the idea of letting Gu Qixiao live.

To him, Gu Qixiao was nothing less than the most horrifying nightmare in this world.

"You have no idea what he’s done to me, so you keep hoping for a partnership. If you knew the story between us, you wouldn’t be saying such things."

As Jiang Huai spoke about this matter, his expression grew increasingly anguished.

He had been thinking about this for a long time.

Seeing Gu Qixiao in this state now brought him a twisted sense of satisfaction.

But it seemed that things weren’t unfolding as smoothly as he had hoped. As the situation spiraled out of control, his heart grew heavier and heavier.

"Aren’t you only connected through Ji Yu? Is there something between you and Gu Qixiao that we don’t know about?"

He couldn’t help but feel that this whole matter was incredibly surreal, completely unable to fathom what was going through his mind.

"It’s normal for you not to know about my past. You’d never guess—I recently encountered someone I used to know. That person told me the real reason my left hand was nearly destroyed back then was Gu Qixiao."

Jiang Huai rarely brought up this matter anymore.

But when it came to discussing Gu Qixiao, it seemed to pull out a deep concern inside him.

As his expression became increasingly grim, Fan Mingxing didn’t know how to respond.

The layers of hatred stacked here were astonishing.

It wasn’t surprising that things had turned out this way.

Still, Fan Mingxing hoped that Jiang Huai could exercise some rationality in certain cases.

"Do you realize how much we could gain from collaborating with Gu Qixiao? Right now, you’d be better off letting go of this hatred. Things may not be as awful as you imagine."

He voiced his thoughts with helplessness, merely hoping Jiang Huai wouldn’t continue being haunted by all this.

Yet Jiang Huai found his words laughable.

"You haven’t gone through the pain I’ve endured, so of course, you think none of this matters. But the struggle I’ve been living through—it’s enough to drive anyone insane if they had to endure even a fraction of it."

He wholeheartedly believed this.

This recent ordeal had deeply provoked him, making it impossible to let go of the situation at hand.

Fan Mingxing was at his wit’s end.

He could only send someone to contact Gu Qixiao, trying to figure out if there was any alternative solution.

If things kept going like this, disaster was inevitable.

"Fan Mingxing, if you’re asking about Jiang Huai, I don’t actually remember much about him. We’ve never crossed paths."

From the beginning, their relationship had seemed off.

But Gu Qixiao genuinely didn’t recall a time he might have wronged Jiang Huai.

If there really was animosity, it shouldn’t have led to such an extreme situation.

"He claims his left hand was ruined because of you. This matter is extremely significant to him; he’s been holding onto it for years. Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider this?"

If Jiang Huai ended up producing something as toxic as poison, wouldn’t Gu Qixiao end up taking the blame for it?

Gu Qixiao didn’t want much now; all he wished for was Ji Yu’s well-being. His own circumstances no longer mattered.

"You can explain to Gu Qixiao that there’s no need to be so stubborn about certain things. All I want now is for Yu to live healthily and happily."

He had endured too many of such trials before, and he no longer cared to argue. As long as Ji Yu was safe, that was the greatest blessing he could ask for.

This statement left Fan Mingxing somewhat surprised. After all, these complex relationships were hard to untangle.

No one could definitively say who was right and who was wrong.

Their history was full of unresolved issues.

"Think what you want. I’ve done all I can. If cooperation won’t work, just don’t trouble me with it."

Fan Mingxing hadn’t forgotten the previous incidents, so he was making sure to brace himself in advance.
