Chapter 410: Chapter 410

Ji Yu was deeply unsure about the situation in front of her.

She could disregard her own matters, but she absolutely couldn’t ignore Gu Qixiao’s feelings.

If Gu Qixiao truly continued , Ji Yu had no idea what she could possibly do to salvage everything.

"Yu, you must have been thinking about so many things in your heart. I don’t want to force you to do anything. I just want to sit down and talk to you properly. If you stay by my side, everything can become better. Tell me, why are you being so stubborn?"

He smiled as he uttered the cruelest words.

Ji Yu could never understand why there were such people in this world.

Did he not realize how utterly merciless the words coming out of his mouth were?

"What’s wrong? Do you think the things I’ve said are wrong? In my view, many situations aren’t necessarily so terrible. It’s simply because you’re too obstinate that they’ve come to this kind of ending."

He had already accepted this point deep in his heart, so when Ji Yu said these things, he felt calm, as though the matter before him couldn’t shake him in the slightest.

Sometimes, Ji Yu truly felt she might as well kill him.

"Jiang Huai, why didn’t that fire kill you? If you had died back then, wouldn’t that have been wonderful? Then we wouldn’t need to keep opposing each other , and I wouldn’t need to hear you spouting all this nonsense."

When Ji Yu said these words, his heart was filled with an uncontrollable pain.

"I don’t want to waste time arguing with you about what’s in your heart. I’ve already grown tired of you. I have to admit, you’re indeed a very effective person."

No matter the time, he always succeeded in making Ji Yu hate him.

Listening as the phone call abruptly ended, Jiang Huai suddenly realized that Ji Yu might have mastered a deadly trick—she had come to understand what he feared most, and her actions had made him realize just how pathetic he truly was.

He stared at his phone, dazed, unsure of what he could do to change the situation. He felt as though his soul had been sucked away.

"Shut up," he snapped viciously at the person in front of him, clearly unable to withstand any agitation at this moment.

Meanwhile, Ji Yu wasn’t thinking about him anymore; she was silently staying by Gu Qixiao’s side.

She kept wondering, why did such tribulations exist between the two of them? It seemed like nothing had ever been peaceful between them from the very beginning.

"Yu, I’m fine now. Please don’t keep worrying about me. I know what you need right now is proper rest. You shouldn’t feel any emotional burden because of me."

He smiled at Ji Yu like that. Ji Yu should have felt relieved, but for some reason, seeing him made her eyes redden uncontrollably, leaving her helpless in the face of her emotions.

"Yu, don’t cry. If you cry over this, won’t that make me guilty? I know you’re very good to me, but this isn’t your fault. Just pity me a little and try not to cry anymore, okay?"

He coaxed Ji Yu gently, yet she couldn’t suppress the pain in her heart.

She never wanted to hide her emotions in front of Gu Qixiao. Even when she had lost her memory back then, she had fought to hold on. This current situation left Ji Yu completely disoriented.

"Gu Qixiao, why do such things have to happen to you? It’s all because of me. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be dealing with any of this." The source of thɪs content is novel⚑fire.net

Ji Yu felt deeply guilty, and these thoughts made her increasingly agitated.

"Yu, I’ll always be here with you. You don’t need to worry about these things. I love you, so everything you do is perfect in my eyes."

He looked at Ji Yu this way, but she felt an unprecedented sense of heartache.

"Gu Qixiao, you have to understand, situations like yours could easily lead to death. I know this might not be the final outcome, but I truly don’t want you to end up like that."

In the end, all these troubles had stemmed from her.

Ji Yu had replayed this kind of scenario countless times in her head, yet she still couldn’t escape from it.

"Yu, this is all my fault. I didn’t handle things well enough. Don’t ever think these matters are your fault." He smiled and placed a soft kiss on the corner of Ji Yu’s lips.

He knew Ji Yu had done her best back then.

The current result was only due to some oversight during that time.

"Yu, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I don’t think I can stay by your side any longer."

He didn’t know what the antidote was, and especially after seeing Ji Yu and Jiang Huai negotiating, he had already anticipated what might happen deep in his heart.

"I’m never handing you over to him. Just because of my situation, I can’t allow you to fall into someone else’s hands." He smiled and spoke firmly.

Ji Yu didn’t know what to do. Her feelings were incredibly tangled. "You should get some rest, Gu Qixiao. I need some time to process all of this. I don’t know what’s coming for you in the future, but as long as I’m alive, I won’t let anything happen to you."

She loved Gu Qixiao and wanted to be with him forever. It had only been a short while, and she absolutely couldn’t lose him just like that.

Gu Qixiao felt helpless but understood that Ji Yu was still carrying guilt in her heart because of this matter. "Yu, you must promise me, no matter what happens, don’t strike any deals with Jiang Huai. This is very important to me."

His heart ached deeply, but he had to tell Ji Yu, no matter what, that he was willing to bear the burden himself. If Ji Yu took his place, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"Just get some rest," Ji Yu ultimately didn’t respond in the way he had hoped. She simply left the room quietly.

Gu Qixiao knew Ji Yu had already made up her mind, and that was precisely why he couldn’t let Ji Yu do anything impulsive.

He arranged for bodyguards to follow Ji Yu. She could do anything but anything related to Jiang Huai—the guards would step in the moment it involved him.

"What are you trying to do? Didn’t Gu Qixiao tell you I can handle anything right now?"

"Sir’s instructions were that you’re not allowed to meet certain individuals. You are, of course, free, but these dangers are not things you should approach."
