CHAPTER 442: CHAPTER 442 DELUSIONAL INFATUATION

"So, you’re planning to use your delusional obsession to disrupt my normal life? Don’t you think this is incredibly selfish?" Ji Yu had never considered going back to the past or continuing to live in its memories.

She was very happy now, and there was already someone she genuinely liked by her side, so why entangle herself with him all over again?

"Yu, this isn’t selfishness. I’m merely fighting for myself. I know you must be feeling deeply uncomfortable right now, but all I did was something I wanted to do."

Sometimes Ji Yu wanted to slap him outright. If a man like him didn’t count as selfish, then who did?

"I want to leave here. And I’d appreciate it if you told your people to leave immediately, or we’ll both go down together."

She pulled out the petite handgun she had prepared long ago.

"Yu, do you really think a mere little handgun could take my life?" He had never feared death—what he feared was simply not being as happy as he had imagined.

"If you have the guts, then take my life now. If not, you’ll just have to endure it." He smiled at the scene in front of him, clearly indifferent to the ugly expression on her face.

Ji Yu knew very well that someone like him wasn’t afraid of death. But given the situation, aside from this threat, she didn’t know what else to do.

"Come home with me. Return with me. We can still have a proper conversation."

This way, there wouldn’t be so much burden.

Ji Yu frowned, not planning to have any connection with a person like him.

"You’re not taking me away from here today." There was nothing left to discuss between the two of them.

"Why are you being so extreme? Look at your expression—deep down, you still want to live properly, don’t you?"

Jiang Huai’s tone carried a hint of seduction.

He didn’t want things between them to end in mutual destruction. What he wanted was a scenario where the two of them could stay together smoothly.

"Yu, there’s no need for us to reach this point. You clearly understand—if you give me some benefits, I can stay with you forever."

What he wanted wasn’t much.

Yet Ji Yu couldn’t even spare him the smallest token of affection.

"There’s no possibility of love between us. I hope you understand that." Ji Yu had never been a person to muddle through matters like this.

"You may think this is no big deal, but I won’t force myself to love anyone." Even when she couldn’t be with Gu Qixiao back then, she absolutely wasn’t going to deal with someone else in a haphazard manner.

Jiang Huai’s expression grew even darker. A cooperative partner, witnessing the situation, tried to persuade Ji Yu not to be so stubborn.

"Miss Ji, if you compromise now, it’s the perfect win-win for everyone. Why not give it a try? Who knows, you might end up liking this Mr. Jiang."

How could emotions just "be tried out" and work? Feelings were only ever divided into those you liked and those you didn’t.

"Did you and your wife ’try things out’? Matters of the heart are no joke. I hope you understand that."

Ji Yu never let herself be pressured in such matters. At this moment, she was utterly clear in her heart—she didn’t like the man in front of her.

The partner’s expression grew a bit awkward. He had intended to smooth things over but hadn’t anticipated Ji Yu’s intense reaction.

Seeing the lack of cooperation from the two men, Ji Yu calmly sat down where she was, waiting for someone to come and find her shortly.

"Today, either I die here, or I walk out of here. I don’t want there to be a third possibility."

She had compromised countless times, but the result was always the same: the two of them were simply not suited for each other.

This time, Jiang Huai suddenly didn’t know what to say.

"Am I really so intolerable to you? Is it so difficult to even pretend to be with me? If you go along with me, you can gain so much."

Backed by such an organization, how could there not be benefits?

"Why are you so fixated? If you stay with me, you’ll gain so much. Try it, and you’ll realize it’s far better than your so-called love."

At this point, he wasn’t asking for love anymore—he just wanted an outcome.

"I’m willing to let you not love me, but you must stay with me. Only by being together can we have a future."

Ji Yu felt the man in front of her had gone mad. Why else would he come out with such nonsensical rhetoric? If he wasn’t after love, then why had he sought her affection from the start?

She rolled her eyes and clearly answered his question.

The things he was saying were ludicrous; if she indulged him, he’d likely spew even worse nonsense next.

"You’ll never understand me. Look at how cold you’re acting—this makes no difference to me."

He always thought about the future, while the person in front of him thought only of never dealing with him again.

"You’ve betrayed me once already; do you still want to betray me again?"

Given the extremity of their relationship, there was nothing like betrayal between them.

Ji Yu took a deep breath, unsure how he could still obsess over past events when he’d undoubtedly committed his own share of offenses.

"I’ve already admitted my mistake for what happened back then. I’ve even repaid you with my life. So why won’t you stop harassing me?"

She had repaid her dues, so why couldn’t he bring himself to let her go in the end?

Ji Yu’s emotions were complicated now. "I know that deep down, you want me to repay you with my life, so I’ve done that. Why can’t you just give up on me?"

"I’ve said it before—giving up on you would mean abandoning my last hope." He wasn’t willing to let go.

"If that’s the case, then I’m even less worth your obsession. Just kill me, then." Ji Yu appeared extraordinarily calm, as though this matter were the simplest of things.

Jiang Huai laughed in anger; he had never imagined that, in her heart, death was preferable to being with him.
