Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 476 - Strange Request

"Are you saying that even if we’re in a relationship, we still need to maintain some distance? If I want to see you, do I have to report it to you first?" It was the first time he had heard of such a way of dating, and he found it rather peculiar.

"That’s not what I mean. I mean, we can interact, but as for a relationship, let’s just forget it."

Ji Yu didn’t want to go against her own feelings. At this moment, she didn’t feel that kind of romantic spark, so she had no intention of leading anyone on only to leave them disappointed.

Her words made Wu Zeyu realize that this matter might indeed not be the way he had imagined.

But he wasn’t in a rush. "Before, I thought we’d never have a chance to meet again, but now we’ve met today. To me, that’s already a miracle. No matter what you say, I’ll comply."

In Wu Zeyu’s eyes, this was a gift from fate, so even hearing Ji Yu’s words did nothing to shake him.

Seeing him like this, Ji Yu didn’t know what else to say. All she could think was how absurd the situation had become.

"Are you sure you want to keep insisting like this? I’ve always felt that someone like you is better suited for someone who loves you wholeheartedly."

She understood what it felt like not to reciprocate someone’s feelings.

Forcing two people together would only lead to a painful experience for both parties.

Watching him like this, Ji Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.

"Since I’ve already said all this to you, there’s no need for you to keep any expectations. Think of it as my advice to you."

The two of them had reached a temporary agreement, but Ji Yu had no idea what would happen next. Deep down, her feelings still belonged to Gu Qixiao.

That was something that would never change.

However, during the following period, the two of them ended up meeting frequently.

Whenever Wu Zeyu had free time, he would come find Ji Yu.

Under the pretext of collaboration, or sometimes just to engage her in seemingly nonsensical conversations.

Sometimes, when Ji Yu had time, she would entertain these talks with him. But when she was busy, she wouldn’t bother dealing with his antics.

"I don’t think this is nonsensical. You never said I couldn’t pursue you. I know you’re in a bad mood, but these things are very significant to me."

He liked Ji Yu deeply. In his heart, she had completely transformed his life.

No matter what happened, he was determined to stay by her side.

"You’re too stubborn. You know about me and Gu Qixiao, right? You’ve been keeping an eye on me for so long, and our situation back then was all over the place. It would be shocking if you didn’t know."

He did know, but during this time, he had been afraid Ji Yu might change her decision, so he hadn’t brought up Gu Qixiao.

"Then what’s the situation between you and Mr. Gu right now?"

Previously, he had heard bits of information about Gu Qixiao from others. Thinking back on it now, those things were still hard to stomach.

"Shouldn’t you already know the nature of my relationship with Gu Qixiao? How do you think I could be with him now?" Her expression turned bitter as she brought it up.

He had already considered this before.

Seeing Ji Yu’s demeanor now made him slightly relieved. "Yu, you don’t need to explain too much to me. I know you’re feeling terrible."

He understood how painful it was for her to love someone she couldn’t be with, but he was also grateful for Gu Qixiao. If it weren’t for this scenario, he might never have had a chance to be with Ji Yu in this lifetime.

Ji Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, agreeing with his perspective.

Her mood truly was terrible.

She sat on a nearby chair. "Was this plan set up in advance? Either way, you should revise the proposal. I’m not a picky person, but this particular plan doesn’t sit well with me."

To Ji Yu, this kind of thing would ultimately impact the company’s interests.

She didn’t want to get bogged down by all this.

"Let me take a look." Glancing at the proposal, he instantly grasped Ji Yu’s meaning—it really was ridiculous.

Anyone who saw such a plan would find it unacceptable.

"This is indeed my fault. Since things are like this now, why don’t I treat you to dinner as a form of compensation?"

When he said this, Ji Yu couldn’t help but suspect he had planned this all along. Otherwise, why would he say something like that?

"Yu, I know what you’re thinking, but this plan’s flaws are solely my responsibility. I never expected them to handle it so perfunctorily, so inviting you to dinner is truly a spur-of-the-moment idea."

Since they were at least friends at this point, Ji Yu didn’t reject his suggestion.

"If there’s no deliberate intention behind it, then we can eat together anytime." She took a deep breath, knowing that sometimes such situations had to be handled.

Still, Ji Yu felt somewhat uneasy.

She had a hunch that the day wouldn’t bring anything good.

Her intuition was soon proven right.

When Ji Yu saw the person in front of her, she felt a headache coming on.

"Gu Qixiao, shouldn’t you be at home resting right now?" She really couldn’t understand what he was up to.

"If I go home to rest, won’t you eventually get engaged to this man? What’s so great about him that he’s able to occupy your thoughts like this?" He had never imagined Ji Yu could end up with someone else.

So encountering this situation left him emotionally shattered.

Ji Yu looked at him helplessly. "Gu Qixiao, I think you need to calm down. I understand what you’re saying, but we’re not in the kind of relationship you think."

There was no way she could get into another relationship so quickly—it was merely something she had to deal with temporarily.

But her words didn’t seem to convince Gu Qixiao.

His gaze toward Wu Zeyu grew even more hostile. "I don’t know who you are, but you will never be Yu’s fiancé. She is my fiancée, and she will be for the rest of her life."

On this matter, he was unwavering. No matter what happened, he refused to give in.
