Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 528: You’re Lying to Me

"But you’ve already lied to me so many times before." Gu Qixiao said this with a trace of grievance, as if the memory of past events still lingered vividly in his mind.

"Yu, you absolutely cannot keep lying to me. I know, deep down, you must still be blaming me."

Sometimes, he actually understood this truth, but for some reason, he just couldn’t change the current situation.

"Promise me, don’t lie to me, okay? If you lie to me again, your punishment will be staying by my side for the rest of your life."

Ji Yu suddenly felt a surge of emotion, almost as though she were on the verge of tears. Perhaps the current situation was just too heartbreaking.

"Gu Qixiao, just get some proper sleep. When you wake up, you’ll see you already have everything." She couldn’t bring herself to make such a promise, knowing that lying to him would only deepen the sadness in his heart.

"Yu, how can you be so heartless? You could’ve just told me directly. If you’re leaving, you could’ve just said so, and I wouldn’t have stopped you." After all, he felt his time may already be limited. It’d be better to just let her go and allow her to live the rest of her life happily.

"I’ve never been a heartless person; sometimes, I just have to pretend to be." Ji Yu had made herself clear enough.

She watched as the large hand that had been clutching her arm slid away weakly, and a pang of sorrow rose in her chest.

"Gu Qixiao, let’s never see each other again after this."

She left without saying anything, not even exchanging a word with Mr. Gu.

When Gu Qixiao woke up again, he found himself completely alone, though his body felt surprisingly light.

"Xiao, are you okay?" Mr. Gu’s heart was still restless. After all, given what had happened to his son, he couldn’t find any peace of mind.

"What could possibly be wrong with me? I just slept, that’s all." Gu Qixiao felt there was nothing wrong with his body. In fact, he actually felt extremely healthy.

"You scared me half to death during this time." But some things couldn’t be said aloud.

Mr. Gu knew all too well that since Ji Yu had made a sacrifice, this matter couldn’t be disclosed.

Saying it out loud would only bring unnecessary trouble to everyone.

Gu Qixiao felt a bit puzzled but also oddly empty inside, as though he had forgotten something very important. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Dad, have I forgotten something really important?"

"There’s nothing important worth remembering. If you’ve already forgotten it, then it wasn’t important. Just focus on recovering well. You’ve been through enough lately." Mr. Gu ultimately chose not to reveal the past.

The past was in the past. It would be best if no one ever brought it up again.

Over on Ji Yu’s side, she seemed rather calm.

Faced with an entirely unfamiliar face, her expression remained composed.

"Yu, since you’ve already used the antidote I created, there’s no chance for you to remember anything about him anymore." Jiang Huai had full confidence in what he had developed.

Besides, their relationship had grown far too close. Forgetting each other was probably for the best now.

"Jiang Huai, even if I forget everything from before, I will never fall in love with you." Ji Yu was perfectly clear on this and made sure to tell him in advance. Otherwise, if the eventual outcome disappointed him, who else might he direct his anger at?

"How can you be so certain? Maybe you’ll find, in time, that I was always the most suitable person for you. You just didn’t see it in the beginning."

He was that confident, believing that their relationship could undoubtedly progress further—this was merely the beginning.

"Ji Yu, take a good rest. When you wake up, you’ll realize I’m the one most suited for you."

Ji Yu didn’t say anything more. She had already told him her stance. If he refused to believe it, that was his problem.

That night’s sleep brought her an unusual sense of peace.

Previous memories played over and over again in her mind.

Until, finally, they dissolved entirely into nothingness.

When everything resurfaced, she was met with a completely unfamiliar scene.

"Yu, you’ve finally made it through." Jiang Huai, having already prepared himself for their possible union, was visibly excited in this moment.

Ji Yu frowned, "Why are you here? If I’m not mistaken, weren’t you supposed to be dead?"

It turned out that this face he had inadvertently fabricated belonged to someone from her past.

"Of course, I wouldn’t just die like that." When he heard those words, his heart skipped a beat. After all, those past memories had left a lasting mark on him.

Those memories were important.

But even so, he didn’t intend to die just yet.

"Yu, you probably don’t remember this, but we’ve long been engaged. All that’s left is to hold the wedding."

He could spin endless lies when it came to this matter.

Ji Yu naturally didn’t believe a word of it. If she had a fiancé, how could she not know?

"Are you out of your mind? There’s hardly any connection between us, let alone talk of an engagement. That’s completely fabricated."

She felt as though he was joking.

"I’m not joking. We are engaged and were once very close. You’ve simply forgotten now."

When he said this, he looked helpless, and there was even a trace of melancholy in his tone.

"Yu, I know you must have missed me as well. It’s just that your heart has been preoccupied with certain things, which led to this situation. But I don’t mind."

Ji Yu was increasingly convinced that there was something off about him. They hadn’t even truly met, yet his words stirred undeniable suspicions.

"Uncle Hu is still waiting for you and me. Don’t even think about anything else. I know you still care deeply about Uncle Hu’s feelings."

Jiang Huai hadn’t forgotten about that.

"Is my dad’s condition still as bad as before?" Ji Yu was visibly worried about Hu Jianyu’s health.

"Don’t worry, I’ll find the best doctor to treat Uncle Hu. For now, he’s just temporarily sleeping." He comforted Ji Yu gently.
