Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 480: Catch Them Off Guard

"I would never blame you for what happened before, Yu. You’ve done more than enough. Don’t dwell on it anymore. Moving forward, we can still be family."

Even if something unexpected really were to happen, he still wanted to remain family with Ji Yu.

At the very least, his son absolutely wouldn’t forget Ji Yu just like that.

Ji Yu didn’t even know what she should say.

She only felt that the current situation was far too melancholic—it shouldn’t have been like this.

"Uncle Gu, for now, don’t tell Gu Qixiao about this. He’s already in poor condition. If something else were to happen, it wouldn’t be good."

She didn’t want Gu Qixiao to worry about this matter, nor did she want him to suffer any mishap because of it. That would pain her, too.

"Alright."

When the two of them returned, they did their best to act as if nothing were amiss.

Gu Qixiao found this version of Ji Yu suspicious.

"Yu, are you hiding something from me? Why does your expression look so wrong?"

Perhaps it was the effects of the medication, but Gu Qixiao was unusually sensitive to everything now.

Ji Yu smiled faintly. "How could that be? It’s just that I suddenly feel like I don’t have as much pressure anymore. Look at your condition now—it’s not as bad as I thought it was, isn’t it?"

At least, the current situation wasn’t completely unbearable.

Gu Qixiao had so much he wanted to say, but seeing Ji Yu like this, he could only hold it back for now.

Sometimes, certain matters were better left unsaid; otherwise, complications were bound to arise.

Perhaps it was due to the dire situation unfolding right now.

The atmosphere felt undeniably tense, leaving Gu Qixiao in low spirits.

"Today, I’ll stay with you the entire time. Gu Qixiao, you need to keep your emotions steady right now. I’m afraid something might happen to you. Your emotional stability is crucial."

She loved Gu Qixiao deeply, but she couldn’t stay by his side forever. Maybe he couldn’t fully comprehend her feelings, but she had truly done her best.

Perhaps it was because Ji Yu’s words sounded a little off.

Gu Qixiao could sense that something was definitely amiss.

"Ji Yu, tell me the truth. What’s on your mind? Why are you treating me this way? If everything were normal, you wouldn’t be saying these kinds of things."

He still understood Ji Yu’s personality.

When Ji Yu heard his words, she felt helpless, realizing her earlier behavior had been too apparent.

"Gu Qixiao, no matter what I do, it won’t affect me. I know what’s on your mind."

She no longer wanted to continue struggling like this.

The feeling was far too agonizing; she needed to find her own way to resolve the situation.

"Ji Yu, you can’t be so selfish. Look at me—how could you bear to leave me like this?" His voice was hoarse, teeth clenched tightly.

Yet Ji Yu remained cold and detached. "Gu Qixiao, this is my own decision. Whatever I choose to do, you cannot stop me."

If Mr. Gu weren’t aware of Ji Yu’s emotions right now, he might suspect her of genuine callousness.

He found it hard to accept Ji Yu turning into this version of herself.

"Enough, Xiao, stop saying so much. Yu would never do anything to betray you."

Mr. Gu, too, felt helpless internally.

After realizing nobody stood by his side, Gu Qixiao felt increasingly lost and confused.

Primarily, he had no idea what he should do to salvage everything before him.

"Yu, please don’t treat me like this. Can’t you stay by my side forever?"

Sometimes, he imagined how perfect it would be to just be together forever. But Ji Yu always shattered his illusions.

Ji Yu had no other intentions; she just felt that the current situation was somewhat dire.

"Gu Qixiao, don’t overthink it. I haven’t done anything excessive. I only want to help you resolve the current predicament entirely—do you trust me?"

When it came to other matters, Gu Qixiao naturally trusted Ji Yu. But the current situation was evidently off.

He didn’t know how to believe Ji Yu wouldn’t abandon him.

"Ji Yu, do you even realize what you’re doing? These matters are hard for me to accept, but it’s not that I distrust you—it’s just that I believe there’s no other solution. Why don’t I introduce you to someone?"

Not knowing what else to do, he decided to let Ji Yu meet Fan Mingxing for now.

Ji Yu hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed—whatever came next could wait. For now, she needed to pacify Gu Qixiao.

Although she didn’t fully understand what was happening with him, at least the future could still be dealt with.

Seeing Ji Yu’s distress, Mr. Gu also felt helpless.

Still, Ji Yu clearly had the ability to handle the current situation.

She accompanied Gu Qixiao to meet Fan Mingxing.

But Fan Mingxing’s recent condition wasn’t ideal. When he saw Gu Qixiao, he seemed exasperated. "I understand why you’re here, but I still need time to study this."

Although he didn’t know who Ji Yu was, he could tell she was a strikingly beautiful woman. Whatever their connection was—it was their business.

"I’m not here today to rush you for the antidote. I just wanted Yu to meet you."

Gu Qixiao had never been the stubborn type, but situations like this brought such words out of him.

"So you’re the legendary Ji Yu." Fan Mingxing finally saw for himself. He had been curious to know who Ji Yu really was, wondering what made her so captivating.

Now, seeing her in person, she seemed to be just another woman—not the enigmatic figure he had pictured.

"I know what you want to say. Whatever exists between me and Gu Qixiao isn’t something I need to share with you. Just tell me whether you can create an antidote—I need a definite answer."

Ji Yu had already pieced things together; the man before her was undoubtedly connected to Jiang Huai’s organization. Whatever the exact relationship was, she didn’t care. All she wanted was to know if the current situation could be resolved.

"If that’s how you put it, then I can’t guarantee anything. Besides, aren’t you quite familiar with Jiang Huai?"
