Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 490: Hating Threats

"I’m not entirely sure why you’ve become like this, but I don’t think it has much to do with me. Because, in my memories, you were never that important." Ji Yu spoke these words, not expecting him to react so strongly.

Every time Jiang Huai heard this, his heart sank with bitterness. Maybe it was because what he had been pursuing all along was something he could never attain.

"Yu, why are you treating me this way? You know exactly how deeply I feel for you, yet you’re acting like this. Do you have any idea how much pain you’re putting me through?"

He was the only one who truly understood the depth of his suffering.

These past few days, he had been thinking about many things and eventually decided to research the antidote. He couldn’t bear to see Ji Yu die like this.

"I love you so much, yet you still treat me this way. Do you really think it’s fair to the time we spent together? You should know everything I did for you back then came from my feelings for you."

The things he did seemed nonexistent in her eyes, and that sense of helplessness consumed him.

No matter what he did, the outcome would always be the same. He couldn’t change this reality, nor could he replace Gu Qixiao’s place in her heart.

"I’ve already told you, we weren’t that close to begin with, and those things happened so long ago. Isn’t it a bit excessive to keep dwelling on them?"

Thinking back on the past, Ji Yu found it utterly absurd. She didn’t think those things were significant; although they had relied on each other during that time, it wasn’t anything special.

"I never said I liked you, nor did I ever intend to marry you. I truly appreciated everything you did during that time, but repaying you in this way is something I would never consider."

She still had a long road ahead of her, and there was no way she’d sacrifice her happiness to repay the kindness he had shown her. That kind of thinking was fundamentally wrong, especially given their strained relationship.

"When we last met, we made everything very clear. You should understand what’s in my heart. Your actions will only make things worse between us."

It was best to leave these matters alone.

"Yu, how could you say such things without a shred of hesitation?" Her words wounded him deeply.

He kept changing his appearance, but in the end, his mind was consumed by thoughts of only one person.

Now he realized that person had no interest in him, and the crushing sense of disparity felt like being cast into hell.

"How can you not have feelings for me? You were always so kind to me before! Back then, there wasn’t even a Gu Qixiao in the picture. Isn’t it because of his arrival that our relationship has disintegrated into this mess?"

Jiang Huai had been pondering this for a long time, and now it seemed to make sense. If that man had never appeared, would things between them have returned to how they once were?

"I don’t know who you’re talking about, but I think our relationship isn’t influenced by anyone else. It’s because of the things you did that I’ve grown to utterly despise you. There’s no road for us to turn back to."

Hatred was hatred. There was no possibility for change.

Ji Yu spoke these words with conviction, her demeanor suggesting she had long since given up.

"Ji Yu, you truly know right where to strike. Every time, it’s so agonizing that I can’t even refute you. But so what? Despite everything, you’re still by my side. You can’t leave me."

He was already considering whether he should develop other medications to make sure Ji Yu would stay by his side forever. That way, there might be fewer barriers between them.

"I truly love you. If you stay by my side, you won’t have to endure any suffering. I can solve the effects of the drugs in your system. These drugs affect your nerves, making you erratic and volatile."

As he mentioned this, his expression revealed a trace of helplessness. Perhaps it was the realization that the person he longed for most had turned into someone so unrecognizable, a notion hard for him to accept.

"Is Gu Qixiao’s poison the same kind? If I’m not mistaken, I used to have some kind of connection to him. My father mentioned that he was the main reason I was tested with the drugs."

Ji Yu felt utterly lost about this matter, unsure of what she could do to change her current dilemma. Could that man truly mean so much to her?

If that were the case, why had she forgotten him now?

"Yu, stop bringing up his name in front of me. You know he’s the greatest obstacle keeping me from being with you. If he stays here, it’ll only make things worse between us."

So, he needed to kill Gu Qixiao.

Only through Gu Qixiao’s death could the outcome finally be perfect.

"Why can’t I mention him? You should already know the nature of our relationship. Since you do, you should’ve prepared yourself for this. Why are you losing your temper like this now?"

Indeed, he was losing his temper. This situation felt like it was telling him that, even if they ended up together, he would never truly keep Ji Yu by his side.

"One has to confront reality. I don’t want you hiding in memories of the past, nor do I want to see you continue in this way. Those memories must be excruciating for you."

Ji Yu couldn’t understand why his thoughts had led to such disastrous consequences. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"How could they be excruciating? Those brief moments of happiness were the only joyous time in my short life. You don’t even know how happy I was during that period... But joyful times are fleeting, and now I can’t reclaim that happiness. What I can regain is you."

His obsession persisted because he wanted her to bring back his past.

"I want to return to the euphoria of that time, but I can’t. So all I can do is depend on you." Every time he thought about those happy memories, he couldn’t help but want to laugh. Yet it seemed that he had long since lost the ability to laugh.
