Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 527: Using You

Actually, even without him saying it out loud, Ji Yu could already guess what he was thinking.

"I can agree to your plan, but you’ll have to put on an act in front of my father. You know his condition is terrible, and he needs someone reliable to take care of me. So, you’ll need to pretend to be someone else."

She understood that this matter was inevitable.

At this point, she had resigned herself to fate.

"Jiang Huai, you truly are a remarkable man. I’m the kind of person who doesn’t like bowing to fate. But this time, I have no other choice."

Faced with no alternatives, she relented.

Deep down, she was painfully aware of this situation.

"Yu, why are you doing this? Sometimes, fate’s arrangements are what matter most. Look at yourself now—how pitiful you are. This is the price of not believing in destiny."

He even thought that there was nothing wrong with this view.

At times, Ji Yu truly wanted to slap him so hard he’d be swept away.

But now, desperate and in need, she chose to keep a low profile. Otherwise, who could say what might happen?

"I’ve already agreed to your terms. You should stick to what you promised earlier. My only request is simple: save Gu Qixiao."

Her mind was filled with countless thoughts. This was the matter she was most determined to resolve.

"Yu, why are you in such a rush? I wouldn’t actually kill Gu Qixiao."

"You’ve already nearly killed him. I don’t need you to do anything else—just hand over the antidote. This shouldn’t be too difficult for you."

Ji Yu still believed this matter could be resolved smoothly.

But things didn’t seem to be unfolding as she had hoped.

With the situation developing to this point, Ji Yu was utterly exhausted.

"Yu, some things are better left behind. Trying to fix them won’t have much of an impact. Even if you save him, he’ll never remember you. The antidote’s only side effect is that it erases all past memories."

It was an unavoidable consequence.

Ji Yu felt a piercing ache in her heart but ultimately agreed.

Maybe these things weren’t meant to exist in the first place.

Let their past be buried—it might be better. At least they wouldn’t need to torment each other any longer.

"I want to personally give him the antidote." Ji Yu’s persistence on this point didn’t waver.

"Of course you can. Whatever you want to do, I’ll always agree. Just be cautious. If he doesn’t recognize you later and accidentally hurts you, I’d be heartbroken."

His supposed heartbreak was nothing short of a nightmare to Ji Yu.

But things had already come to this. Perhaps they were destined to be bound together after all. Ji Yu decided not to dwell on it any longer.

She held the vial of medicine and returned once more to the Gu family’s villa.

Her feelings at this moment were unbearably complex.

"Yu, what brings you here?" Mr. Gu was somewhat surprised to see her.

No one had expected the situation to go so smoothly, nor could they guess how Ji Yu had managed it.

"Uncle Gu, I’m here to save Gu Qixiao. I know his situation must be dire, so I have to help him now."

She feared that if she delayed any longer, Gu Qixiao might truly die.

The scenes from yesterday still lingered vividly in Ji Yu’s mind.

It had been a long time since she’d felt this kind of fear.

"So, you’ve found the antidote?" Mr. Gu looked surprised as well. Everything seemed almost too easy, which made the situation feel out of place.

"Yes, but once Gu Qixiao takes the antidote, there’ll be no connection left between us. That’s not important, though. What matters is that I won’t come back again. Uncle Gu, I hope you’ll help me take good care of my child."

She had no other choice.

At least the child wouldn’t suffer any grievances staying here.

"Yu, are you sure about this?"

"I made up my mind long ago. Sometimes I wonder what I’m even thinking—I don’t know myself. But in wanting him to live, I have zero hesitation." Ji Yu smiled faintly as she spoke.

That’s just how it was.

She had been trapped in this cycle of struggle within their relationship for so long. Perhaps letting go was the best resolution.

"Yu, you are such a heartbreaking child." He said, his tone thick with conflict.

Ji Yu smiled. "Why would it break anyone’s heart? I’m doing okay right now, Uncle Gu. You don’t need to worry about me—I’m fine."

She was doing okay for now, but the future was uncertain.

Who could predict what the unpredictable Jiang Huai might do? Ji Yu figured she might not have any peaceful days ahead.

She decided to stop thinking about it and headed straight to Gu Qixiao’s room.

"After you left, he passed out. The doctor said his situation is critical."

Mr. Gu’s words were filled with bitterness. But he also understood that perhaps this marked a turning point toward recovery.

"He’ll likely forget me completely, so please, Uncle Gu, make sure to keep my story hidden from him."

She truly didn’t want things to turn out this way.

But there was no room for maneuver anymore.

"Yu, the two of you..." Mr. Gu sighed deeply, unable to say more. He just hoped their relationship wouldn’t continue to suffer.

The small syringe pierced Gu Qixiao’s vein.

Watching the scene unfold, Ji Yu finally managed a smile.

"Yu..." Gu Qixiao, unexpectedly, woke up at that moment.

He gripped Ji Yu’s wrist tightly, as though he wanted to keep her by his side forever.

But Ji Yu understood—this was just their final moment together.

"Gu Qixiao, I’ve always been here for you. Even if I disappear for a while, don’t worry—I’ll always be here."

Her words were meant to comfort him, but Gu Qixiao was deeply anxious. "Really?"

He feared that if he let go, the person in front of him would vanish, leaving him completely alone.

"Of course it’s true. When have I ever lied to you?"
