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

Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Destined But Not Fated

"The matter between the two of you is actually very simple." Ji Yu couldn’t understand what exactly she was so hung up on.

"You just need to choose a different target, and you’ll be much happier than you are now."

Afterward, Gu Qixiao wouldn’t ignore her either.

Continuing to use this kind of tactic won’t lead to a good outcome.

"Letting things develop like this won’t end well for you, and what good does it do to hold onto someone using these methods?" Especially since she couldn’t even hold onto him.

Ji Yu looked at her somewhat pale face, a bit impatient. "I’ve already explained things clearly. If you’re determined to persist, then just pretend I said nothing."

These kinds of things truly defy reason.

Song Xuan didn’t respond, and it was unclear if she’d taken Ji Yu’s words to heart.

"What about you? Why are you willing to be with Xiao? Didn’t you tell me at the beginning that you didn’t like him?"

She remembered the details of this matter very vividly.

"What I thought back then is, of course, different from what I think now."

Everything between the two of them ultimately depended on Gu Qixiao’s efforts.

If Gu Qixiao stopped trying, their relationship would have ended long ago.

"Feelings are strange like that. I won’t shove sentimental clichés at you. I just want you to understand that love isn’t your entire life."

And besides, what’s so bad about how things are now?

"If I were you, I’d secretly be over the moon. Look at your current life—have you ever experienced anything like this before?"

She had gained things in this lifetime that should have been beyond her reach, but still, they were having such a heartfelt talk.

"What you have now is enviable enough. So why envy me? Someone like you should enjoy life’s pleasures instead of clinging on endlessly."

She had reshaped her life through her brother.

Not cherishing this kind of life would ultimately lead to being abandoned.

And frankly, if Ji Yu were in her position, she would let Gu Qixiao go without hesitation.

With all that money, there were countless better things to do. Even hiring a male model would be a more worthwhile use of it than this futile entanglement.

Gu Qixiao instinctively grasped Ji Yu’s underlying message.

He couldn’t help but feel resigned, though he understood she probably truly thought that way. Faced with a relationship with no outcome, she’d likely give up in the end.

"You really are exasperating sometimes." Matters like this truly require careful consideration.

Ji Yu didn’t think there was any issue here. People are inherently free—if you have money, you should experience the things you’ve never had the chance to before.

"Otherwise, why not go out and ask others? Ask them what they would do with this kind of money, and you’d realize just how foolish you’re being right now."

With so much money, why waste it on unproductive endeavors? Why insist on hanging yourself on one tree?

She found this mindset utterly incomprehensible.

Song Xuan wanted to retort but didn’t know where to start. Deep down, she even thought Ji Yu’s words made some sense. But she’d grown used to staying by Gu Qixiao’s side.

"Even you think what I’m saying makes sense, so why persist in this? Who are you doing all this for?"

Hurting her own body like this—wouldn’t she be the one to suffer in the end?

Ji Yu had someone step forward to help bandage Song Xuan’s wounds.

"After this, I hope you can think things through and stop having any other ideas." Things between the two of them were already decided, so there was no need for a third person to intervene.

Her constant instigation was frustrating for everyone.

"But I like him." She’d liked Gu Qixiao for so long—how could she just give up? All this time, she’d been working so hard to move things forward with him, but nothing had worked.

"Why should I give up now, after trying so hard for so long? Why can’t you let Xiao go? To me, he’s so important. But to you, he might be someone you could take or leave, right?"

When she said this, Gu Qixiao also felt a bit uneasy inside.

Although he’d claimed he didn’t care whether Ji Yu had feelings for him, he couldn’t help but feel unsettled now.

"Can’t you tell how I feel about him?" Ji Yu held his hand in front of everyone, wanting to make their relationship clear.

Some things could be understood at a glance—why did they have to be spelled out?

"Yes, I rejected being with him at first, but I’ve changed my mind now. Is that not allowed?" She had a faint smile on her face.

She was very aware of her current situation.

Even if things were to happen later, they should see how it all played out first.

"You don’t belong meddling between the two of us. And I can’t tolerate situations where someone tries. If you keep interfering, I might have to take action against you." This was her final warning. noveldrama

If someone stubbornly refused to listen to reasoning, then more forceful measures might be needed to make them understand some things are beyond their reach, and some relationships can’t be inserted into.

Song Xuan stared at her in disbelief. She never expected Ji Yu to respond so bluntly.

"You liars! You weren’t like this before. Why have you all changed your minds now? Haven’t you considered my feelings at all?" She’d tried so hard to approach them but still felt like an outsider in their world.

"Since when does love make sense?" Besides, considering her feelings—did that mean giving him up to her would suffice?

"Don’t always push everything onto me." Ji Yu’s smile was sweet but sharp as she looked at her. "I’ve always done things according to my own wishes. I won’t force myself."

Some things are better off disregarded.

Song Xuan was on the verge of breaking down but had no way to refute her.

In the end, she could only look at her with a hint of pleading. "Ji Yu, I know you’re a good person. Please give him to me. After that, I promise he won’t even appear in your life again. If you give him to me, we can talk about anything."

"If you’re sick, go treat your brain properly. Stop saying such brainless things in front of me." Ji Yu’s patience had already run out.

Hearing foolish words over and over would naturally irritate anyone.

Wasn’t what stood before her the exact situation now?

"I’m not someone who likes to share what’s mine, nor will I hand over what’s mine to anyone else." She appeared indifferent, but she never let go of Gu Qixiao’s hand.
