Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 538: I Will Not Give In

Ji Yu didn’t understand what exactly motivated him to walk to her room door with such composure at this moment.

"Jiang Huai, I’ve already said it—can we just stop talking about today’s events for now, okay?"

She was genuinely agitated now. If this continued, she feared she might not be able to hold it together.

"Yu, don’t be so anxious. I just wanted to see what exactly you guys are planning to talk about. I can guess your mood is probably terrible, but none of this is my fault. You can’t just pin everything on me, can you?"

He smiled at Ji Yu, leaving her speechless.

Maybe it was because the current situation was just too frustrating.

So Ji Yu didn’t hold back and slammed the door shut right in his face.

"Do whatever you want, as long as you don’t bother me."

Ji Yuanzhou could see for himself now that the relationship between them had indeed deteriorated to a certain level. Even so, Jiang Huai persisted—it almost counted as true love.

"Yu, the reason I came to you today is to ask what you really think. Do you truly believe Jiang Huai can treat Uncle Hu? If that’s the case, I’ll leave this matter aside for now and deal with it after Uncle Hu’s condition improves."

Ji Yu didn’t even know how she felt anymore.

"I just don’t want my father to run into trouble. You must know by now how critical my dad’s situation is. I really don’t know if he’ll pull through, but Jiang Huai claims he can save him."

That kind of temptation was utterly fatal to Ji Yu.

At this moment, she couldn’t bear to ignore her father’s plight.

"Yu, I understand what you’re thinking. You believe Uncle Hu’s situation is important, but have you considered the possibility that Jiang Huai might be deceiving you right now just to steady you?"

He was only speaking hypothetically, but Ji Yu had actually been harboring similar doubts.

Still, she had no choice but to believe him.

If she didn’t trust him, she wouldn’t have any other chance to deal with Hu Jianyu’s issues.

Perhaps because Ji Yu’s concerns were so urgent, Ji Yuanzhou could only try to reassure her, "Yu, no matter the time, we’ll always be here to help you. Just keep me in the loop; I’ll come whenever you need me—and of course, there’s Gu Qixiao."

As he mentioned Gu Qixiao, he intentionally observed Ji Yu’s reaction.

Sure enough, Ji Yu seemed momentarily distracted.

"Who exactly is Gu Qixiao? Why does Jiang Huai seem so wary of him? I don’t even know what he means to me, but judging by Jiang Huai’s behavior, he clearly doesn’t want us to know each other."

"The person you love most is Gu Qixiao. You two even have a child together. So how you choose to proceed really depends on you," Ji Yuanzhou said, knowing it wasn’t likely for her to let it go so easily.

Ji Yu was genuinely confused for a moment; she wasn’t sure if she could truly remember Gu Qixiao.

Not to mention the fact that, somehow, they already had a child together—it was all extraordinarily strange.

"We have a kid? Isn’t that too odd?" She still felt like an ordinary girl—how could she have a child?

"You’ve been together for a long time. If it hadn’t been for Jiang Huai, you two would already be married by now."

Ji Yuanzhou was also troubled as he reflected on this. Ji Yu had genuinely endured a lot recently.

"Got it." For some reason, Ji Yu suddenly felt like this might actually make sense. If she had developed feelings for someone, she wouldn’t give up easily, not for a lifetime.

So even if they already had a child and were about to get married, it seemed like the most natural thing in the world.

"But Jiang Huai is my only hope now. I need to first confirm whether he’s deceiving me. If anything happens to my father, I definitely won’t let him off."

At that moment, she decided to set aside all thoughts of romance, focusing her attention on Hu Jianyu’s situation with utmost care.

"You really are unusually persistent. But don’t worry, Gu Qixiao respects your decisions completely."

At this point in the conversation, Ji Yu couldn’t help but grow more curious about Gu Qixiao—mostly about what kind of person the man she loved truly was.

Ji Yu had always felt that, considering her personality, falling for someone would be a rare occurrence.

So the person must be extraordinarily special.

"I won’t describe the real Gu Qixiao right now. When you meet him, I believe you’ll remember the past quickly enough."

Ji Yu chuckled, "Alright then. The way you say that makes me start looking forward to it. But I do have something to ask you—what’s going on between you and Qinqin? From the way you two act, it doesn’t seem like there’s no affection at all."

She hadn’t seen the two of them together in a long time.

And if there were mutual feelings, why did things have to turn out so messy?

That was the one scenario Ji Yu least wanted to witness.

Ji Yuanzhou was momentarily dazed upon hearing this. He knew his feelings for Feng Qinqin hadn’t faded, but so much had happened recently.

There were too many scars between himself and Feng Qinqin, and forcing things would only make it more painful.

"I don’t want to keep hurting Qinqin. For me, she’s the person I’ve loved most in this lifetime, but my nature causes me to instinctively hurt her. I know you’re probably silently cursing me right now, but I can’t help it."

He had tried to change, but the outcome was always the same.

Ji Yu didn’t know what to say; she only sensed that deep down, he still loved Feng Qinqin—he was just afraid.

"Why don’t you sit down and talk openly with Qinqin? I don’t think things between you two are necessarily as bad as you imagine. You need to resolve this sooner rather than later."

Ji Yuanzhou felt conflicted. He actually wanted to talk things through, but Feng Qinqin’s demeanor today had completely robbed him of the courage to do so.

"Yu, I don’t want to bother Qinqin anymore. She said she doesn’t love me anymore, and if I continue bringing it up, it’ll only make her uncomfortable."

"Brother, men have to have guts." Ji Yu didn’t want to hear any more excuses, cutting straight to the point.
