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

Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Greed

"You might think what I’m saying is overly absolute, but I assure you, that’s exactly what she’s thinking."

No one can refuse a temptation like that, not even if he’s already explicitly made his rejection clear. noveldrama

Gu Qixiao suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Perhaps situations like this were indeed a little perplexing.

By the time the two of them arrived at the villa, Song Xuan was in complete disarray.

She was visibly excited when she saw Gu Qixiao, but the moment her gaze fell on Ji Yu behind him, the smile on her face could no longer be sustained.

"Why is she here with you? Xiao, do you seriously want her to come along too?" Song Xuan loathed Ji Yu more than anyone, so how could she not feel anything at this moment?

"Just get to the point. The two of us have other matters to attend to; we don’t have time to waste here with you." He didn’t particularly like using such a tone with others.

But he was afraid a gentler tone might lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Xiao..." She seemed to sense his current indifference.

Her voice wavered with hesitation as she spoke.

"Xiao, is there really nothing you want to say to me?"

She had been waiting for this day for a very long time.

But for some reason, he seemed to constantly be avoiding the reality of their relationship.

"Xiao, I don’t want to marry anyone else. I only want to marry you. We’ve been in each other’s lives for so long. How could you ask me to let go as if it means nothing?"

She firmly believed that the feelings between the two of them could last a lifetime. Ji Yu was nothing more than an accident.

"Xiao, is your eagerness lately truly because of her pregnancy? If that’s the case, I could bear your children too."

As her words grew more brazen, Gu Qixiao immediately decided he couldn’t let her continue.

"Enough! Do you even hear yourself? Do you have any idea how you’re coming across? You’re acting like a lunatic. The nature of our relationship has long been made crystal clear."

There had never been anything beyond friendship between them.

If she kept playing these games, there likely wouldn’t even be a friendship left.

"But you promised my brother you’d take care of me for the rest of your life. Why are you abandoning me like this?" she cried miserably.

She had always thought she would be the happiest person in the world. But now, everything before her was like stones smashing her dream, pieces she could never put back together.

Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, she glared venomously at Ji Yu.

"It’s all because of you. If not for you, he and I would already be together. Why did you have to appear?"

They could have spent a lifetime in happiness together, but this woman’s arrival had driven a wedge between them, making it impossible for them to be together.

If only she were dead, how perfect that would be.

Uncontrollably, she stretched her hands toward Ji Yu’s neck, intending to strangle her.

"Do you even see what you’re doing?" Without hesitation, Gu Qixiao shielded Ji Yu behind him.

He would never, under any circumstances, allow anyone to harm Ji Yu.

Not to mention, the current situation was utterly insane.

"Xiao, I didn’t mean it. I don’t even know what came over me. I just want you to stay by my side. I don’t want you to have any ties with her anymore."

She was desperately trying to hold on to him, but nothing seemed to be working in her favor.

Why did such terrible things have to happen in the world? And why did all of them have to happen to her?

"What you’ve done has utterly disappointed me. I don’t even want to communicate with you anymore."

He felt like he was on the verge of losing his mind.

"This is the last time I’ll ever deal with matters related to you. After today, no matter what happens, I won’t come for you again."

The time had come to put an end to the convoluted ties between them.

"Xiao, what do you mean by that? Do you think I’m a burden, so you’re trying to cast me aside?"

She had never, from childhood to now, experienced the warmth of family. It was Gu Qixiao’s kindness that taught her the world could hold such beauty.

But now, that kindness was about to be taken away, and how could she possibly accept that?

Her sobbing grew even louder.

"Xiao, you’re mine. How can you leave me? You clearly promised to stay by my side forever. You even said you’d take care of me. So why is it now so hard for you to even look me in the eye?"

Ji Yu, observing her pitiful state, couldn’t think of anything to say.

"You can set your sights on someone else. He’s not the only one who can bring you happiness," Ji Yu said, unsure why she was so fixated on one person.

Clearly, there was no mutual affection between them. What was the point of holding on stubbornly? It would only end in heartbreak for everyone involved.

"You wouldn’t understand. Now that you’ve won him over, of course, you feel entitled to speak that way. If you hadn’t succeeded with him, could you say these things with such smugness?"

"I would never let myself suffer over a man." When it came to matters of the heart, Ji Yu had always believed in going with the flow.

If the person she liked also liked her, they could be together. But if they didn’t, why cling so stubbornly?

This kind of humiliating desperation would only make others look down on her.

"Do you think this tactic of yours can win back someone’s heart? Once a heart changes, nothing you do can move it."

Let alone when there had never been any real emotional foundation between them in the first place.

"Everything he did before was out of gratitude, but you mistook it for love. That was your mistake from the very beginning."

They had never been on the same page to begin with.

"Look at yourself now—aren’t you pathetic enough? And yet, has he spared you even a glance?"

Gu Qixiao stood to the side, his expression helpless, but he made no move to halt Ji Yu’s words.

This was a type of attitude Song Xuan had never experienced before.

Seeing everything in front of her, she suddenly became lost, not knowing what she could do to change the current situation.

"Why..." She had held on for so long, yet it seemed everything was falling apart after all.

"When it comes to situations like this, there’s no need to ask why. You just need to walk away." In matters of the heart, there wasn’t always a "why." Sometimes, it was just a matter of not being loved.

That they had crossed each other’s paths was fate. That they couldn’t walk together was simply destiny withheld.

So why struggle endlessly over it?
