Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 500 Consideration

Ji Yu wasn’t too sensitive about these things.

A few people chatting together didn’t seem like a bad idea.

Gu Qixiao’s situation wasn’t necessarily any better than Ji Yu’s.

Ji Yuanzhou had noticed something was off about him from the very beginning.

"What’s going on with you?"

"He’s in the same situation as me, though his seems a bit more severe. But we’ve already come up with a solution," Ji Yu didn’t want them to worry.

Ji Yuanzhou still had a feeling that it wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

He took the chance when Ji Yu wasn’t paying attention to quietly seek out Gu Qixiao.

"What’s going on between you and Yu? I can’t shake the feeling that something’s wrong with both of you. If there’s anything going on, just tell me now, and I’ll figure something out. If you keep dragging this out, it’s only going to get worse."

"Yu just explained everything earlier. I don’t think there’s anything left to say." He took a deep breath, having already made things clear regarding this matter.

He understood that Ji Yu didn’t want others to know about these things sometimes.

So he chose to help her keep them hidden.

Ji Yu’s words left Ji Yuanzhou with a nagging worry he couldn’t shake.

The entire matter felt like a thorn lodged deep in his heart.

When he went back, he didn’t forget to remind Ji Yu, "Don’t forget to go home and visit. Mom and Dad really miss you, and with the way things are right now, they can’t rest easy."

Ji Yu felt some nostalgia for the life she left behind. What would things have been like if the accident hadn’t happened?

Would they have already been married by now? Maybe even meeting with family often?

But all of that was simply wishful thinking. Things had already come this far, and there was no turning back.

Gu Qixiao, watching her lost in thought like this, couldn’t help but worry about Ji Yu’s state.

"Are you alright?"

"How could anything be wrong with me?" she replied with a laugh.

But Gu Qixiao could sense that she was crying inside. How could anyone in this situation remain completely unaffected?

Ji Yu’s condition was already quite dire.

He wanted to stay by her side, but he didn’t know what identity he should take on to do so.

"Yu, I’ll always be by your side."

It was his promise—a vow he could never break in this lifetime.

This time, Ji Yu didn’t know how to respond.

But Gu Qixiao didn’t expect an answer. He simply wanted to protect her silently.

Over the next few days, they hardly saw each other.

Still, Ji Yu remained a constant presence in Gu Qixiao’s thoughts.

No matter what he was doing, he’d find himself thinking about her.

Ji Yu would occasionally reflect on their past, but her focus remained on finding a solution for the antidote.

"Waiting for Jiang Huai to give me an answer isn’t the way to go. I think I should try finding Brother Lin," Ji Yu massaged her temples, aware that her current state wasn’t particularly good.

Lin Zhiyuan’s condition, however, was clearly much worse.

When he saw Ji Yu, his expression was filled with helplessness.

"Yu, if you want the antidote, I probably can’t help you for now. I can’t handle this situation much longer."

It had been a long time since he’d left this room.

"Brother Lin, even if Lady Lin is watching from above, she wouldn’t find peace seeing you like this. You need to pull yourself together. Whether you work on the antidote or not, you can’t keep living in such despair."

To Ji Yu, the situation was dire, and he needed time to properly take in what was happening.

"Yu, I can’t help but care. My heart aches. I don’t know why I ever left the village. If we had stayed back then, would things have turned out differently?"

He had thought about these things countless times.

But there was never an answer.

He was on the verge of driving himself insane.

Seeing Ji Yu today brought up even more thoughts. "Yu, I think I’ve messed up everything. I wanted to save my mother, but this is where it led me."

There were moments when he felt like nothing but a failure.

Ji Yu didn’t know how to comfort him.

But everything that had happened recently was still vivid in her memory.

"Brother Lin, you’re not a failure. Lady Lin wouldn’t want to see you like this."

But at this point, Lin Zhiyuan had lost all willpower. He only knew he’d lost his mother, and he had no one to lean on anymore.

Looking at him like this, Ji Yu knew that, for now, she wouldn’t be able to change his mind.

So she left the room first.

She went directly to Jiang Huai.

When Jiang Huai saw her, he was surprised, thinking she had finally come to her senses and decided to return.

But it was clear Ji Yu wasn’t here for that. "Give me the video."

If she remembered correctly, her phone had been confiscated by him that day.

This matter was critical for Lin Zhiyuan, but to Jiang Huai, it was just a piece of footage.

"Yu, is this how you ask for favors?"

"I’m not asking for a favor. I’m demanding you hand it over." Without hesitation, she motioned for the bodyguards to block him.

All Ji Yu wanted was the video and nothing more. She wasn’t planning to cause trouble for him.

Still, her methods were undoubtedly forceful.

Faced with the situation, Jiang Huai seemed to be struggling to keep his composure.

"Yu, do you even realize what you’re doing?"

Jiang Huai had never imagined that their relationship would come to this.

He tried multiple times to convince himself it wasn’t real, but Ji Yu’s actions left no room for doubt.

"I told you, all I want is the video. I don’t want to make things difficult for you. But you’re the one who keeps refusing."

Ji Yu couldn’t even pinpoint her own feelings anymore, only that their connection had long since disappeared—and this outcome was already the best she could hope for.

"Yu, you’re willing to go this far for something like this? Do you really think this is fair to me after everything I’ve done for you?"

He rarely acted with such madness and desperation.

Ji Yu wasn’t sure what to say anymore.

She only knew that she had truly done everything she could.

"Then why didn’t you think about that when you killed Brother Lin’s mother?" she countered, feeling that his actions had been needlessly cruel, far beyond what her conscience could tolerate.

The thought of Lady Lin being tortured to death by him was something her heart couldn’t bear.

"Yu, you really leave me no choice."
