Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 504 You’re a Bastard

In fact, Ji Yu didn’t want things to become so awkward.

After delivering that slap, deep down, she still felt some regret.

"Yu, even if you slapped me a hundred times, there’s absolutely no way I would give up on you now. You’re far too important to me. I simply can’t walk away from you like this."

Matters of emotion between them—perhaps only they truly understood.

Seeing the situation unfold, Ji Yu didn’t know what to do anymore.

"Yu, you really shouldn’t stop him. Look at the mess he’s in now. If he stays by your side, it’ll only lead to trouble for both of you."

His death is inevitable—it’s just a matter of time.

If things continue this way, they’ll all witness that moment eventually.

Yet Ji Yu still refused to resign herself to it, feeling that the current situation shouldn’t end this way.

"I don’t believe this is our destiny. And honestly, who do you even think you are? If you’ve really developed a cure, then say so outright—why resort to such appalling methods?"

Ji Yu realized she had truly seen the depths of shamelessness in this person.

Perhaps it was because of forgotten memories, but their shared past was alarmingly vivid in Ji Yu’s heart at this moment.

She thought of countless moments from before.

"Jiang Huai, you’re truly a terrible person. How many times have I told you: my problems don’t need to be handled in such extreme ways. But you’ve never cared to listen to me, have you?"

Between them, there was absolutely no real affection to speak of.

Yet he maintained this attitude, pushing well beyond her limits, making Ji Yu profoundly uncomfortable.

"Ji Yu, do you truly want to leave me like this?" There was an unmistakable sense of doubt lingering in his heart.

After all, they had once been friends; how did things deteriorate to this extent?

"Ji Yu, you’re absolutely incapable of letting me go just like that. I know you don’t really mean it—you’re only trying to scare me. Well, consider me frightened already."

He was genuinely afraid—afraid of losing the love of his life in the end.

His feelings burned so intensely.

Ji Yu could only conclude that the man standing before her must have some kind of mental problem. Otherwise, how could he say such things?

"If you truly believe there’s no issue here, then go ahead and fantasize, do whatever you want. But please, stop interfering in my life. My world doesn’t welcome your intrusion."

She had made up her mind long ago. Whatever consequences awaited, she was willing to bear them herself—it was merely the final outcome.

Ji Yu’s thoughts were crystal clear. So when faced with him, there was no reason to feel frightened anymore.

Such is the nature of matters of the heart.

"Yu, don’t be stubborn about this. You should go back with me. You can come back with me to visit the orphanage director—you used to talk about that, didn’t you? You said if someday we both achieved success, then we’d go back together to visit."

But now, everything had already changed.

Thinking of the orphanage brought a pang of sorrow to Ji Yu’s heart.

"Jiang Huai, if it weren’t for you, things would’ve never reached this point. Do you have any idea how disgusting your actions have been?"

That once belonged to them—a home.

But now, that home was no longer theirs.

Ji Yu looked utterly miserable.

Jiang Huai seemed to vaguely recall something.

"That wasn’t my fault—I only accidentally pushed her over. You don’t actually believe I did that, do you?"

"Jiang Huai, think carefully: who was it that didn’t believe you back then? It was you—you decided we didn’t trust you. That’s why you made such extreme choices. Do you regret it now?" Ji Yu stared at him, hoping for an answer. But things were clearly not unfolding as she had anticipated.

"I won’t regret it, not like that. And this isn’t some traumatic memory. I love you—it wasn’t intentional. I only wanted to protect myself, and I wanted to protect you too."

His words sounded so self-righteous.

But back then, Ji Yu hadn’t even considered holding him accountable for those things.

He alone caused all the trouble in the end.

"Jiang Huai, if you think hard, your world isn’t just filled with awful things. But those memories of that time—they lacked warmth. That period has long been destroyed by your own hands."

Ji Yu didn’t want to voice such cruel truths, but that’s exactly how things were.

She was completely and utterly disillusioned with Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai himself didn’t know how to explain any of it.

Maybe this was simply his nature—obsessive, leading him to commit such terrible acts. Extreme as they were, they held a twisted allure.

"Yu, I swear it wasn’t on purpose. Please forgive me. If you’re willing to forgive me, I promise to never do anything like this again."

He looked utterly desperate, his voice raw and strained.

But to Ji Yu, this situation was nothing more than a joke.

Ji Yu truly didn’t want to keep entangling herself in this.

"You’ve already reduced me to this—what more do you want? Is my death the only thing that would make you truly happy?"

Her words struck Jiang Huai deeply.

Jiang Huai’s greatest fear was that Ji Yu would die.

He had already been terrified of this before. Now hearing Ji Yu say it out loud, his heart grew increasingly restless, as though all of this was nothing but an unattainable dream.

"Yu, if I don’t step in, then you won’t have any chance of surviving. Please, stop being so willful, okay? Besides, isn’t Gu Qixiao the one who wants to die?"

He hadn’t forced Gu Qixiao to walk this path.

Their relationship had been far from good to begin with.

"Do you think that if Gu Qixiao dies, I can continue living as if nothing happened? I really don’t understand what goes through your head for you to make such extreme decisions. I suggest you stop saying such revolting things."

Ji Yu’s stance on this matter was direct and uncompromising.

Perhaps because deep down, she still couldn’t let go. Or maybe it was because her memories hadn’t been fully erased. That lingering attachment made her unwilling to walk away just yet.
