Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 526 Don’t Push Me

"I’m only acting out of goodwill. That’s the only reason I’m helping you at this moment. If it were an ordinary person standing in front of me right now, I would still help." Ji Yu reiterated this point, urging him to stop continuing down this path.

"I told you, there’s no way anything will happen to you. Going forward, you just need to take care of your own health, and I’ll help you."

Though she couldn’t fully guarantee his recovery, she was the only one who could convince Jiang Huai on this matter.

"Are you still planning to interact with that man? I believe you should have realized by now—there’s something wrong with him. The guy’s a complete lunatic."

Gu Qixiao, recalling past events, had no good feelings toward Jiang Huai. After all, it was Jiang Huai who stirred up this entire mess in the first place.

"If you meet him, there’s no way he’s going to let you leave. That, I’m absolutely certain of. He’s done similar things before."

Gu Qixiao was adamant, which explained his current anxiety. He feared she would foolishly do something reckless, ultimately endangering her own safety.

"But I have no other choice right now. I know your situation is already dire. If this goes on, you’ll just die meaninglessly."

Ji Yu had always believed he was meant to have a brilliant life—a wealthy family and a bright future filled with happiness. How could one incident lead him to such an untimely demise?

"Gu Qixiao, please trust me this once. I will absolutely do my best for you. And in the state you’re in now, if things keep spiraling, I’m afraid something bad will happen."

She refrained from saying anything else, only urging him to take good care of his health and stop exhausting himself. Otherwise, the situation would only worsen.

"Yu, can you... not leave?" By now, he was utterly drained. After what had happened last night, he hadn’t rested at all, leaving his body weak.

"I have to leave. If I stay here any longer, you’ll keep fixating on me. My leaving is the best outcome for you."

Perhaps they shouldn’t have been together in the first place.

Gu Qixiao didn’t know what to say. All he knew was that the current situation left him deeply pained.

How could someone be so heartless? Hadn’t they been happy together just a short time ago? Now, this sudden twist of fate changed everything.

What he didn’t know was that, once Ji Yu went downstairs, she couldn’t stop herself from wiping away her tears.

Mr. Gu, seeing this, couldn’t help but feel distressed as well.

"Yu, why put yourselves in such a miserable situation? Deep down, you still have feelings for Xiao, don’t you?"

If she didn’t, it wouldn’t have come to this point.

Ji Yu shook her head. "I don’t even know who he is. How could I possibly have any attachment to him? I just feel a bit sad, that’s all."

Her voice was choked as she spoke, though she didn’t seem to realize it.

"Yu, you always make things hard for yourself. Look at the state you’re in now. If this goes on, no one will come out of this unscathed." Mr. Gu would have rather seen them happy for a fleeting moment than watch them torment each other endlessly.

"Uncle Gu, I have no way back anymore, just like that time before." Ji Yu had always been decisive in matters like these. Once she had made up her mind, there was no turning back.

"You’re just too stubborn, girl. Look at yourself now. If this continues, who knows how much worse things will get."

His tone was filled with helplessness as he spoke.

"I know my own situation. Thank you, Uncle Gu."

After saying this, she turned and left without a hint of hesitation, as if none of this had anything to do with her.

After leaving, she went straight to Jiang Huai, as agreed. They had met countless times already, and now things between them were rather awkward.

"Jiang Huai, you know why I came to you today. I believe you’re perfectly clear about it. I just want to terminate our agreement."

"Ending the deal is fine, but you must promise not to give the antidote to Gu Qixiao." This was his one and only condition. After all, if the antidote ended up with Gu Qixiao, what would have been the point of everything he had done so far?

"Do you really want to watch me die in front of you? If that’s the scene you want to see, then fine, I’ll grant your wish."

Ji Yu somehow produced a knife and held it to her own neck, appearing utterly desperate.

"Yu, why do you always push me into a corner like this? Look at yourself—what have you gained from sacrificing so much for Gu Qixiao?"

Jiang Huai could never understand why she was so resolute.

"This is my decision. I don’t expect you to understand, but in this matter, you must respect my choice."

"You..." Jiang Huai sometimes felt completely suffocated by her. In moments like this, though bitter and resentful, he couldn’t just stand by and watch her die before his eyes.

"You always use my genuine feelings to get what you want. Someday, I’ll forget you completely, and then you’ll understand what it’s like to face cruelty."

He had often considered trying to forget her—or even killing her to end it all. Yet, each time, he abandoned those thoughts after wrestling with himself.

"Yes, I am using your genuine feelings. Didn’t you say you loved me? If so, shouldn’t you fulfill my wishes?" Ji Yu was candid in this matter. She had been using him, so why pretend otherwise or give him a false sense of hope? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Yu, you’re really not even leaving me a shred of illusion, are you? But it’s okay. What matters is that I can have a place in your heart—that alone is enough."

He no longer cared about anything else. The only thing that mattered was her safety.

"I’ll give him the antidote, but you must agree to one condition."
