h4Chapter 314: Chapter 314 A Measure of Last Resort/h4

Mr. Gu could only let out a helpless sigh. "Yu is indeed a wonderful girl. If you really manage to bring her back, I would be genuinely happy for you. But you absolutely cannot continue in this state."

No one would be able to save him in this state.

Upon hearing this, his expression didn’t shift in the slightest. "I understand."

However, he hadn’t quitee to terms with things yet. Just thinking about Ji Yu’s current situation made it impossible for him to ignore the matter.

No one seemed to know what was truly going on with Ji Yu.

Meanwhile, Ji Yu hadn’t rested well throughout the night.

When she saw Xia Chuanhe again, her expression had visibly grown colder.

"Xia Chuanhe, I don’t know what exactly you’re trying to aplish, but I’m certain of one thing—I don’t have any feelings for you. Moreover, what you’ve been doing has been nothing but awful for me."

This kind of situation was pure torture for her. After thinking it through, Ji Yu decided it was time toy things out clearly.

"I don’t know why I lost my memory or why I’ve ended up like this, but you absolutely cannot keep me trapped here."

Things were not unfolding in the way Xia Chuanhe had anticipated.

The Ji Yu he had envisioned should have beenpliant and devoted to him. So why was the current Ji Yu devoid of even a shred of affection?

She clearly didn’t treat Gu Qixiao with the same coldness.

"Yu, aren’t you being a little too cruel to me? Even if you don’t consider our rtionship, shouldn’t you at least think about the child in your womb—our child? Don’t you think this is unfair to me?"

"To be honest, I’m not even sure if this child is yours. Besides, the things you’ve done have genuinely frightened me. I don’t believe I’m someone who needs you in order to survive." This was the deepest thought in Ji Yu’s heart.

She believed herself to be an independent person who would never make decisions thatpromised her freedom.

"I want to live my life properly, on my own terms. I don’t think what you’re doing is right, and I simply cannot love someone as selfish as you."

Ji Yu had given this matter considerable thought before finally uttering these words, and her determination regarding this issue was unwavering.

After hearing these words, Xia Chuanhe remained silent for quite some time. Atst, he spoke. "Ji Yu, you don’t treat anyone else so ruthlessly—only me. Do you know how heartbroken I feel when I hear you say things like that? Can’t you even consider my feelings for once?"

His heart was in turmoil.

But Ji Yu had thought about this earlier, too.

"Do you really think that decisively rejecting someone is cruel? I don’t agree—it’s better to reject decisively than to give someone false hope."

Just like the situation right now, everyone understood this principle, yet few could truly act on it.

It was undeniably a disheartening predicament.

"I don’t know why you’re so fixated on this matter, but to me, it’s wed at its core. I hope you can think it through for yourself. Right now, I need to reim my memories."

Her memories were undoubtedly of great importance.

She had mulled over this matter for so long yet hadn’t found the beginning of the story. It was possible that Xia Chuanhe had tampered with it.

Her determination in this matter was unwavering—even Xia Chuanhe couldn’t sway her.

He had always been particrly attentive to matters involving Ji Yu. Seeing her act this way now, it was impossible for him to feel at ease.

"Yu, you’re being far too cruel to me. All I’ve ever wanted was for you to stay by my side. Why are you treating me this way?" He gazed at Ji Yu with a look of bewilderment.

Ji Yu didn’t even know how to respond to him.

Falling in love with someone was certainly a wonderful thing, but when it crossed the line, it revealed issues in the person’s character.

"I’m not asking you to do anything—just to let me leave. Is that really so difficult?" She wanted to recover the memories she had lost.

She wanted to escape this life; that was her heartfelt desire. Why was he acting as though she was abandoning him?

The things he’d done were truly iprehensible.

"We’ll deal with the restter. For now, I just want to leave. If you insist on stopping me, I’ll start to suspect that you had ulterior motives from the very beginning."

She looked at him with probing eyes, clearly harboring doubts about the matter.

He seemed to understand Ji Yu’s suspicions, yet he continued to argue.

"Yu, it’s not that I don’t want you to leave—it’s just that things are far tooplicated right now, and I can’t exin them all at once. Staying here is the safest option for you. Take, for instance, that man you saw the other day. Your memory loss is actually his doing."

"Him?" Ji Yu instinctively felt skeptical.

If that were truly the case, wouldn’t the person in front of her have already shown signs of urgency?

"I don’t believe you. If my memory loss is really tied to him, then you should be able to provide evidence. And tell me—what kind of deep-seated enmity exists between us? You need to exin everything; otherwise, this matter won’t end here."

Ji Yu subconsciously feltpelled to defend Gu Qixiao.

Suddenly, his expression became even darker.

He knew full well that Ji Yu would always be fixated on matters involving Gu Qixiao.

"Yu, do you know how much it hurts me when you say things like that?"

"I don’t know if you’re hurt—all I know is that I’m hurt because of the things you say. But you have no evidence—do you find this entertaining?" Ji Yu truly could not understand someone like him. No reasonable person would ever act this way.

Besides, the current situation was genuinely baffling.

"Everything I do is for your own good. If you leave here, do you even know what you’ll remember?"

"I..." Ji Yu found herself unable to refute this point.

Many things had indeed faded from her memory here. Thinking about where she would go next seemed like an insurmountable challenge.

"You definitely don’t know. If that’s the case, why are you so insistent? Yu, don’t cling to things you don’t truly want. You may soon realize—I’m the one who’s truly right for you."

He looked deeply at Ji Yu, hoping she wouldn’t dwell on this matter any longer.
