Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 473: Don’t Want to Lose You

"Gu Qixiao, no one who’s human isn’t afraid of death, and your condition has already become very serious. You need to think about your own parents and our child."

He’s someone who has elders above and a child below. If something happens to him, what will his family think?

"You should temporarily give up on the love between the two of us."

When Ji Yu spoke these words, her heart felt uncomfortable too, but she had no choice but to say them.

"Yu..." Gu Qixiao felt a deep pain in his heart.

He knew what she said was right; the two of them indeed needed some distance between them.

"Then could you not get engaged? I can promise you that I won’t come into contact with you, but please don’t get engaged. If you do, I’ll absolutely never give up just like that."

Gu Qixiao knew that sometimes his words crossed the line, but once they’d been said, he couldn’t take them back.

"Yu, please don’t be too cruel to me. I know what’s in your heart; please treat me well." Gu Qixiao sometimes acted like a young girl, but only he understood his own feelings.

Ji Yu looked at him helplessly and finally agreed that she wouldn’t get engaged for now, but inevitably, they would separate in the future. When that time came, no one could stop anyone from getting engaged.

"When we truly get to that point, let’s talk about these things then, okay? For now, I don’t want to hear anything about engagement. If you and I were the ones getting engaged, then I’d definitely be happy."

He only accepted the idea of them two getting engaged.

Looking at Gu Qixiao like this, she couldn’t help but laugh.

"Then let’s not talk about this matter for now. But how things end up will depend on you. Even if you refuse me later, I will still separate from you."

After finishing these words, Assistant Li entered the hospital room with their people.

When Mr. Gu saw Ji Yu, his emotions were very complicated.

He thought about the conversation the two had during their last meeting and couldn’t stop himself from feeling sorry for them.

"Yu, can I have a good talk with you? There’s something I want to say to you. Last time we met, it was too rushed, so let’s consider this a chance to make up for it."

He indeed had a lot he wanted to say.

Ji Yu still respected him greatly. Upon hearing this, she followed him out of the hospital room.

"Yu, I know you’re strongly against being with Qixiao right now, but this situation isn’t as terrible as you think. I hope you two could try to reconnect. Who knows? A miracle might happen."

He always held an optimistic attitude about this matter. After all, he’d watched the two of them step into their current situation, step by step.

Ji Yu shook her head. "Uncle Gu, I understand why you’re saying this, but I can’t ignore Gu Qixiao’s health." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

This was the core of their conflict, so the only solution was to temporarily compromise.

"Uncle Gu, you should understand what’s in my heart. I can’t let his health worsen further, so temporarily separating is the best solution for both of us."

If they could fully separate, perhaps he’d truly be safe.

"You are too stubborn sometimes, child. But I know your heart is in the right place, concerned for him."

Isn’t it for his sake?

But sometimes, this kind of concern is hard to be understood.

"Uncle Gu, I hope you can take good care of him and keep him from overthinking. I likely won’t visit again anytime soon, as I’m worried it might stir up other thoughts in him."

This time, she brought people over in hopes that he would stop overthinking from now on.

"I understand what you mean. I know that if you two were together, the consequences could be terrible. But seeing you two in so much pain, I can’t turn a blind eye."

Both of them were cherished by him, so seeing this situation naturally made his heart heavy.

"Uncle Gu, I know what you mean. But since I’ve already made my decision, it’s absolute and unchangeable. I’m a very decisive person in everything I do."

It was exactly because of this decisiveness that Mr. Gu had admired Ji Yu before.

Looking back now, this personality sometimes felt like a double-edged sword.

"Ah, since you’ve already decided, I won’t say anything further. I just hope there’s still an opportunity for you two in the future."

He still liked Ji Yu as a daughter-in-law very much.

Not wanting to continue the conversation, Ji Yu directly left the hospital.

Mr. Gu saw the disappointment on Gu Qixiao’s face and knew he was waiting for Ji Yu.

"Yu is mainly concerned about your health. You should take good care of yourself and stay in the hospital for now. Don’t let your mind wander again."

He also understood that his son could be very stubborn at times.

In this matter, the two of them were equally unyielding.

Gu Qixiao didn’t say anything. He understood clearly what he was doing; he just wanted to salvage the broken feelings between them.

"But have you run into any trouble lately? Why did you suddenly cough up blood? The doctors already gave you a full examination and couldn’t find any issues."

This was what confounded them all.

"Maybe I was just too angry at that moment, so I coughed up blood." Gu Qixiao also had no clue what had happened at the time. All he knew was that the moment he spit blood, Ji Yu had softened.

"You wouldn’t be thinking of doing that again, would you?" Mr. Gu was speechless at his son. How could he even have such an idea? The situation was bad enough; if he kept thinking like this, they’d truly be finished.

"No one likes being deceived, so what you’re saying is absolutely out of the question."

He looked at Gu Qixiao helplessly, not understanding how his son could be so clueless in matters of love.

"I know she doesn’t like being deceived, so I didn’t lie to her. Even I was startled when I spit blood at that moment."

He hadn’t intentionally coughed up blood.

"This wasn’t fake—it was real." Gu Qixiao felt that Mr. Gu might be doubting him, but he never lied about such matters.

Especially not when it involved Ji Yu.

The thing Ji Yu was most concerned about was his health. Because of this issue, she’d repeated her worries countless times.
