Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 553: Want to Be with You

Ji Yu found it laughable when he said those words. Did she really lack someone like him by her side? And besides, it was entirely because of him that things ended up this way.

"If nothing unpredictable had happened to my husband, I would never have treated you so harshly. So, every single thing you’ve done comes with a price."

This matter was nothing more than karma coming back around. In reality, this was the moment where he seriously needed to think about where he should end up later.

"I suggest you use this time to consider carefully where you’ll settle in the future. Pick a perfect grave for yourself. Maybe by then, you’ll feel a bit happier deep down. After all, a burial site holds significant meaning for someone like you."

Every word she spoke stabbed into his heart like a knife, leaving him utterly frozen, unable to move an inch.

He didn’t even know what he was still chasing after.

All he knew was that if he gave up now, he would never have another chance.

"Yu, you can curse me however you like. I know you’re bitter inside, but please—don’t push me away. I just want to stay here with you, to make you a little happier. You can vent on me, take it all out—that’s fine."

Ji Yu let out a cold laugh. "Well, I’ve truly never met someone as shameless as you. Do you even understand the meaning behind the things you’re saying? All of this—everything—is because of you. Now you’re here pretending to be the good guy? What kind of joke is that?"

She didn’t want to share the same space with someone like him. And their outing today had only been for a simple meal. Running into someone this disastrous was nothing short of unlucky.

"From now on, I don’t want to see you again. I hope you’ll be able to sort yourself out. Naturally, if the truth of this whole thing comes to light one day, I’ll return your innocence to you. But you and I will never, ever be lovers."

Being lovers was something far too unattainable for the two of them. They couldn’t even coexist peacefully—how could they possibly become anything more?

"Why do you treat me this way? Why do you have to leave me? You know perfectly well how deeply I love you, yet you still treat me like this." After they left, Jiang Huai’s heart burned with pain.

"Sir, do you need us to call an ambulance? Your face doesn’t look good," one of the bodyguards stepped forward hurriedly, afraid something might happen to him. After all, he was their organization’s most invaluable asset. If something went wrong, their own heads might roll.

"I’m fine," he said. "Do you think what I just did was truly insincere? All I wanted was to let her let off some steam, but she ended up saying those things to me."

The bodyguards had no idea what to say. From any angle, anyone involved in this seemed to have their reasons.

"Sir, try not to overthink it. Just calm down and stop dwelling on it—that’s all you need to do." The bodyguards only hoped he wouldn’t torment himself further. When something was destined to have no outcome, why keep obsessing over it?

"You all think there’s no future for us, don’t you? Well, then I’ll prove you wrong. If I succeed, none of you will be laughing at me anymore."

Deep down, he was also unsure whether this incident was orchestrated by that person. So without hesitation, he went straight to find Fan Mingxing.

When Fan Mingxing saw him, he was visibly surprised. After all, Jiang Huai was always an insufferable snob and rarely showed up proactively. For him to personally come looking now was nothing short of shocking. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"I want to know about that night. Who leaked the information to Yu?"

He looked like a vengeful specter straight from the depths of hell.

"I don’t know exactly what happened. All I know is that somehow, Gu Qixiao found out about it."

They could certainly control their subordinates, but keeping tabs on someone as prominent as Gu Qixiao? That was beyond their reach. All they could do was stay out of it for the time being.

Now, however, things were worse. Neither side seemed happy. And if they continued down this path, it was likely only going to escalate further.

"Fan Mingxing, do you find all of this amusing?" When Jiang Huai spoke about the matter, his expression turned terrifyingly severe. He was already convinced that it was Fan Mingxing who had spilled the details.

"What do you want me to say, exactly? Just tell me. Because no matter what I say, you’ll think I’m lying. So what can I do? I’m only saying what I know."

Fan Mingxing was also frustrated. He didn’t know what he had done to deserve such accusations.

"Do you really not know anything about this?"

"Of course I don’t know what this is all about. All I know is that Hu Jianyu’s condition back then was really bad. That’s why I told Gu Qixiao about it. But I absolutely didn’t have any other intentions."

Ultimately, he was deeply unsettled. If he were actually dragged into this, what then? The entire matter was downright grueling.

"Explain everything to me in detail. I don’t believe you knew about this incident—it was supposed to be confidential."

Even if he had connections with their boss, he shouldn’t have known everything related to it.

"I have nothing else to add. I went there casually to check things out. How could I have known he was barely breathing at the time? It’s not like I strangled him to death myself."

There were far too many mundane affairs—birth, aging, sickness, and death—in this world. Some things really weren’t worth fretting over. People like them had long moved past it.

"You’re such an odd one. Why come here to question me? If you’ve got the guts, why not go interrogate Ji Yu? Drag her back properly. That way, you won’t feel so empty inside."

At times, Fan Mingxing’s words were outright venomous. Everyone knew things between Jiang Huai and Ji Yu were already impossible. Yet knowing this, he still relished the opportunity to twist the knife.

"If you don’t want to die, then shut your mouth. I detest it when others comment on my relationships."

Jiang Huai was already on edge. Listening to those words had almost sent him over it; if not for the bodyguards restraining him, he might have started a fight right there.

"You don’t have to be so full of yourself. It’s because of you that everything turned out this way."
