Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 486: Never Make a Move

He suddenly started laughing while looking at the person in front of him.

"Jiang Huai, tell me, why are you such a mess? Do you really think the things you’ve done will amount to anything?"

He had always believed Jiang Huai wouldn’t be obsessed with matters of emotion, but seeing him like this now, it was clear that there was no choice.

"My affairs are none of your business. Look at your current state—is it possible you seriously think you’ll succeed?"

Sometimes, even Jiang Huai found this sort of situation to be laughable.

However, what he needed most right now was a sample of the drug, so he could continue researching this stuff.

Seeing Ji Yu’s condition deteriorating to such an extent, he absolutely couldn’t let things proceed this way.

And Ji Yu remained completely unaware of all of this.

She simply carried on living as usual, following her own rhythm, only realizing something was off in her life when she saw Gu Qixiao’s haggard appearance.

She looked at the person in front of her with a bit of confusion, "Why have you become like this? If I remember correctly, not long ago you seemed so healthy."

Even though Ji Yu had already lost her memory, just seeing him made her feel deeply uneasy.

"Why has it come to this?" Ji Yu didn’t want to see him in this state any longer.

Ji Yu rubbed her brow, wanting to step forward and ask what was going on, but Gu Qixiao refused.

"Yu, I don’t want you to see me in such a miserable state. I don’t even know how things got so bad, but it must be tied to those drugs."

He knew his body was being controlled by the drugs, which was why he’d ended up in this condition.

In his heart, there was still a deep resentment, yet he had no way to resolve it for the moment.

"I understand what you’re saying, but I haven’t taken too many of those drugs. My situation shouldn’t be as terrible as yours."

She had done her best to suppress her own condition.

Besides, drug trials couldn’t possibly match the actual implementation of a full-scale cure.

"Yu, don’t cling to that kind of wishful thinking. That’s what I thought in the beginning too, but everything’s different now."

Gu Qixiao’s appearance was undeniably haggard.

He didn’t want Ji Yu to see him in such a pitiful state, but in his heart, he still hoped she would draw closer.

"I think you might know a little about me, but this is only the beginning."

Gu Qixiao took a deep breath, "I don’t care what happens to me, but Yu, you need to understand that you’re very important to me. I can’t be indifferent to your feelings. I’ve been far too stubborn about this, but I love you."

In the end, Ji Yu said nothing, but you could see that she was beginning to waver.

She didn’t know how to truly view herself anymore.

"Yu, I’m really worried about your physical condition."

"It’s nothing serious. President Gu, you should go back now. You don’t look well. If this goes on, I genuinely think you might impact me," Ji Yu said, turning away so she wouldn’t have to look at Gu Qixiao.

Sure enough, this method was effective.

Not seeing his face meant she wouldn’t feel sad.

Gu Qixiao wanted to reach out and touch Ji Yu, but considering his terrible state, he ultimately chose not to.

"Yu, take your time to think about it. Your situation is already very bad."

When he spoke about this, his heart felt conflicted too.

But the situation had already escalated to this point, and there was no need to dwell on anything else.

"I’ll make sure to rest well. Stop worrying so much. Take better care of yourself. I don’t know if it’s the drug’s effects that made you like this, but I definitely won’t let myself be affected."

She could only comfort herself this way.

Gu Qixiao didn’t insist on staying; he knew too well what he needed to do now.

"Yu, take care."

When he left, it was painfully apparent that he was still stumbling.

Ji Yu ultimately couldn’t resist glancing at him.

That departing figure inexplicably filled Ji Yu with a deep sense of melancholy.

"Gu Qixiao, how did you end up like this?"

She didn’t even know why she was so anxious, but this matter was undeniably hard for her.

"Yu, you don’t need to worry about turning out like him." Wu Zeyu appeared beside her out of nowhere, having evidently foreseen Ji Yu’s fears.

Ji Yu was silent for a while, her gaze toward him full of doubt. "I don’t understand why things have reached this point. I really want to know who you are, and what did you mean by what you just said?"

She didn’t believe Wu Zeyu would say something like that casually.

Nor did Ji Yu know why she’d spoken to him like this.

But this feeling of unease when she saw him—she couldn’t shake it.

"What I mean is, no matter what happens, I will save you. Even if the cost is enormous, I can endure it. It doesn’t matter what happens to me; you have to keep living."

He looked deeply at Ji Yu, clearly wanting to get closer, but Ji Yu cautiously kept her distance.

Under such circumstances, it was best to avoid close contact.

"Wu Zeyu, I don’t know how you’ve managed all this, but I can promise you I don’t need it. I will find the person responsible for developing this drug."

She was determined to uncover how things had spiraled this far out of control.

Yet, she hadn’t heard anything about Jiang Huai during this time and had no idea where he had gone.

Wu Zeyu chuckled with a hint of intrigue, "Is that so? When you have nowhere else to turn, perhaps I will already have developed the antidote. Yu, no matter what happens, I’ll stand by your side."

He spoke with such apparent devotion, his demeanor steadfast in his commitment.

"I understand what you’re saying." Ji Yu didn’t want to dwell on this further, but his words still made her feel some distaste.

"I’ve never been able to figure out who you really are, and the things you’ve done—they’ve shocked me greatly."

She couldn’t help but find the person before her utterly insincere.

Given how misplaced the current situation felt, she could only resolve matters by handling them this way.

"Yu, you may not trust me, but you absolutely should trust that I’m capable of creating an antidote. Once the antidote is developed, even Uncle Hu will look at me differently."

As he spoke about this, he smiled slightly, seemingly brimming with confidence about it.
