Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 533: The Demon

"I’ve said it many times, don’t mess with me and Yu. I’ve heard every word you’ve said. If Yu has always wanted to know who Gu Qixiao is, you’d already be a corpse starting today."

Jiang Huai’s tone was utterly cold, as though he was ready to devour her.

Hu Qianqian was genuinely frightened. "I just wanted Ji Yu to be miserable, that’s all. I didn’t know she was unaware of this matter. Besides, you’re here now—if Ji Yu could still find Gu Qixiao despite this, then you’d truly be useless."

Before she could finish her sentence, her neck was viciously grabbed.

She could feel the air slowly escaping from her chest. She had no idea how she could possibly resolve the situation in front of her.

Just as Hu Qianqian thought she was undoubtedly going to die today, Jiang Huai suddenly let her go.

"I don’t want this happening again. If you meet Yu, remember to tell her that we’ve always been a couple."

Jiang Huai, at times, rather enjoyed deceiving himself.

In this matter, Hu Qianqian truly dared not say anything further.

She was terrified something would go horribly wrong.

"I understand. I won’t dare to do it again."

Hu Qianqian was afraid of death, so she didn’t dare keep talking.

However, because of this matter, Ji Yu had already begun to harbor suspicions in her heart, and it was impossible for her to just let it go.

She wasn’t very familiar with the people around her and didn’t know what to say. All she knew was that the situation before her felt confusing.

"Who on earth is Gu Qixiao?" If he’s someone important enough to evoke tears just thinking about him, he must matter. But why can’t I recall him right now?

"Gu Qixiao, where are you? I really want to know who you are." Ji Yu felt uneasy but knew it was best not to act rashly at the moment.

After all, Jiang Huai was watching her every move closely. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

But what she didn’t expect was to encounter someone claiming to be her fiancé when she went to the company the next day.

Ji Yu was curious about his identity and simply invited him inside.

Lin Shuyu, seeing Ji Yu unharmed and perfectly fine, let out a sigh of relief. "Yu, it’s such a relief that you’re all right. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to explain it to my family."

"Are you Gu Qixiao?" Ji Yu was feeling a bit muddled but still asked.

Lin Shuyu was rather puzzled by the question but replied, "I know who Gu Qixiao is, but I’m not him. If you want to find him, I can take you to see him."

Of course, Ji Yu wanted to see Gu Qixiao, but everything here was firmly under Jiang Huai’s control.

Upon learning Lin Shuyu had arrived, Jiang Huai rushed to the office immediately. Upon seeing Ji Yu in such a state, he felt a flicker of displeasure.

"Yu, you absolutely cannot think too much about these things. I’ve told you many times, you and this Gu Qixiao could never know each other. As for that person claiming to be your fiancé, he’s just someone you dragged in to help temporarily."

"Really?" Ji Yu still didn’t believe that the world could have such convenient coincidences. As for the matter of Gu Qixiao, it remained an unresolved knot in her heart.

No matter the circumstances, Ji Yu couldn’t relax fully.

"Jiang Huai, are you truly hiding nothing from me? Why do I feel like your heart is full of secrets you choose not to tell me?"

"I know what you want to ask, and I can tell you everything else, but not about Gu Qixiao. You’ll never meet him, no matter what." Jiang Huai was exceptionally stubborn about this topic.

This only proved that something major was connected to Gu Qixiao.

"Don’t forget, Hu Jianyu is still under my control. If you want to see Gu Qixiao, go ahead, but know you might end up seeing your father’s corpse."

When this sentence escaped his lips, Ji Yu finally fell completely silent.

She couldn’t comprehend why things had escalated to this point. Hearing these words left her startled, her face frozen in disbelief. "You’re using my father’s life to threaten me?"

It was the first time she felt things were so absurd.

Yet Jiang Huai thought it was perfectly normal.

After all, his feelings for Ji Yu were sincere, but the circumstances had already changed entirely.

"Yu, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but surely your father must matter more to you than Gu Qixiao."

At this moment, that was undoubtedly true.

Ji Yu couldn’t simply ignore Hu Jianyu’s situation.

On the side, Lin Shuyu observed the situation and came to understand a few things.

"Are you saying Yu has no freedom now? If Uncle Hu knew about this, it would break his heart. Yu, I hope you understand—Uncle Hu wanted you to live a happy life."

Although Lin Shuyu wasn’t close to Hu Jianyu, he understood these matters.

"He cherished you as his daughter deeply. How could he ever bear to see you suffer?" His words carried encouragement in his eyes.

But Ji Yu ultimately shook her head, rejecting his perspective. Since she couldn’t ignore her father, this matter was crucial to her.

"Yu, if you decide this way, you’ll regret it later. Uncle Hu wished for nothing but your happiness. By choosing this path, even if something happens to him, he won’t rest in peace."

"I’m sorry. I can’t leave for now. I can’t afford to act recklessly. Thank you for telling me this today. I promise I’ll repay you in the future." Ji Yu couldn’t let go.

Thus, in the end, she could only choose to compromise.

Jiang Huai seemed moderately satisfied with the outcome.

"You should leave now. From now on, you’re no longer Yu’s fiancé. You have no connection to her."

Lin Shuyu was growing anxious, mainly because he didn’t know how to help Ji Yu.

He could tell Ji Yu wasn’t happy with her situation, and Jiang Huai himself seemed extremely dangerous.

"If there’s a chance, I’ll definitely get you out of this. Don’t give up," he reminded Ji Yu before leaving.

Jiang Huai, meanwhile, was already itching to act, but Ji Yu managed to hold him back—for now.
