Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 491: Losing the Opportunity

He considered himself deeply in love, so he believed he had enough authority to speak on this matter.

"I never once thought about losing you, so I’ve always looked for an opportunity to talk things over with you."

"But do you think I want to talk things over with you? I don’t think what you’re saying has any impact on me. I don’t like you. I’ve been clear about that. Whatever relationship between us shouldn’t have started in the first place." Ji Yu’s tone was icy as she said this.

Their relationship was already in shambles, and his decision only made things worse.

Ji Yu never intended to have a proper conversation with him from the start.

Perhaps it was her words that provoked Jiang Huai.

His expression turned ugly, and he lunged forward to pull her into his embrace.

"You can only be mine. This lifetime, you can only be with me."

He had never contemplated giving up.

"I don’t believe we’re tied together for life. What you’ve been doing has been frustrating, but I won’t give up just like that."

Ji Yu had no intention of compromising. It was time for their entangled relationship to come to an end.

But ending it like this wouldn’t cause him any real loss.

Jiang Huai wanted to press on heedlessly, but he couldn’t help recalling what had happened last time.

If he pushed forward, it seemed likely the person in his arms would resort to something drastic again—maybe jumping off a cliff, like before.

"Yu, I’ll wait for you to accept me. During this time, we’ll continue to be like this. I believe you’ll end up falling for me."

Ji Yu quietly put away the knife in her hand, knowing he didn’t intend to force her.

But she still felt the need to keep such a weapon ready. Who knows when he might lose control again?

It wasn’t until he left the room that Ji Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why do you have to force me into making such decisions?" She felt a pang of sadness as she thought of the past.

Thankfully, the current outcome was still acceptable.

That night, she stayed awake all night.

Not because the situation was particularly bad,

but because her headache was unbearable.

"Yu, didn’t I tell you? If you’re not feeling well, just let me know—I’ll do whatever I can to help you. Why didn’t you tell me about your headache?"

Jiang Huai realized something was wrong the moment he saw her pale face. He was angry, though—why hadn’t she told him sooner?

"What happens to me is none of your business, and I don’t need your help with anything."

She already didn’t have a favorable impression of him, let alone in her vulnerable state, where compromising with him seemed unthinkable.

"Don’t be stubborn when you shouldn’t be. This is about your health—you need to tell me what’s really going on."

He might yield on other things, but not on this. This was her health at stake—if something happened to her, he could never forgive himself in this lifetime.

"Yu, you make me love and hate you all at once. But even so, I could never let go of your hand."

He had long since made up his mind—he had no intention of giving up on all of this.

Ji Yu couldn’t understand why he would say such things.

Their relationship had already been made crystal clear.

"Jiang Huai, let me go. I don’t believe staying here will do me any good. Do you think keeping me here will make me yours completely?"

If she managed to leave, it might save both of them a great deal of trouble. Right now, his behavior was becoming too extreme.

Sometimes, Ji Yu even wondered if he had gone mad.

But being around him helped her understand that he wasn’t actually insane—he simply refused to wake up from his delusions.

"Is being by my side really so painful for you? I simply want you to live healthily—I have no other bad intentions. Yet you say such things, which feel unfair to me."

From start to finish, Jiang Huai didn’t understand why everyone seemed intent on stopping him from helping the person he loved regain her health.

"Jiang Huai, it’s best for people not to be too obsessed. Being overly obsessed never leads to anything good. Look at yourself now—you’re already controlled by this obsession."

Succeeding in such matters would benefit neither of them.

"Yu, have you considered when you say these things that I’ve never been afraid of challenges? The only thing I fear is you leaving me."

No matter how degrading his decisions might seem, none of it could ever alter his resolve to love her.

Ji Yu already felt like her head was splitting open. Hearing his words made her feel the situation was nothing short of absurd.

"Do whatever you want—I don’t want to see you right now. You’d better leave this room immediately. I can’t promise I won’t do something drastic."

She held her head tightly, her expression marked by intense pain.

"Yu, don’t be like this. You’re very important to me."

He kept thinking this matter needed resolution.

But it seemed that no matter what he did, the outcome remained the same.

Zoning out, Ji Yu eventually fell asleep, unwilling to struggle any further.

Watching her, Jiang Huai took a deep breath.

His gaze was filled with obsession.

"Yu, sleep well. When you wake up, you’ll forget everything from before. Then, with only me by your side, I don’t believe you’ll abandon me, even in such circumstances."

He had tried countless methods. This was his last one.

If even this didn’t work, then perhaps their lives were simply destined never to intertwine.

Meanwhile, Gu Qixiao was also searching for Jiang Huai’s whereabouts—because, in his world, Ji Yu was his most important person.

Which is why giving up was not an option for him in this matter.

"Xiao, don’t be like this. Look at how pathetic you’ve become—when Yu sees you like this, she’s bound to feel heartache."

Mr. Gu didn’t want his son to continue being so distraught. His current state was making everyone uncomfortable.

"As long as I find Yu, I won’t stay like this. I know I look pitiful now, but I’ll recover."

Even though his condition wasn’t perfect lately, he wouldn’t give up so easily.

"You really are..." Mr. Gu found himself at a loss for words.

People say parents understand their children best; how could Mr. Gu not know his son’s nature?
