“You were the one who told Grandma back then that you didn’t care about anything else as long as you married me,” Ji Jingchen said jokingly with a smile.
Du Jiuyuan’s nonchalant facade instantly fell apart at Ji Jingchen’s words. She never thought that Ji Jingchen would use her own words to stab her in the heart.
“Lili is right. I must have been possessed to fall for a ridiculously arrogant and self-absorbed man like you!” Du Jiuyuan was burning with anger. She practically shouted out each word, then entered the room and immediately locked the door.
Ji Jingchen had expected her to be angry, but he did not expect her to have such a strong reaction. He had seen her calm eyes just now and deliberately provoked her. He did not expect that it would strain the relationship between the two of them to the freezing point again.
…
Du Jiuyuan entered the bathroom and turned on the shower. She let the cold water drench her. The words that Ji Jingchen had just said could not be erased from her mind.
Her tears fell uncontrollably. After a long while, Du Jiuyuan finally calmed down. She opened the wardrobe and saw that it was filled with all kinds of branded clothes of her size. Currently, she was not in the mood to choose any of them, so she casually took one and changed out of her wet clothes.
Sleep! Du Jiuyuan felt that her eyelids were about to close shut, and she fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.
After an unknown amount of time, the tightly shut door was gently pushed open by someone. The person on the bed did not realize that this was a hotel belonging to the Ji Corporation, thus how could it be possible for Ji Jingchen to not have a key?
He stared at Du Jiuyuan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. His mind was like a movie, recalling their past.
“It’s hot…” The person on the bed suddenly muttered.
Ji Jingchen approached Du Jiuyuan and placed his hand on her forehead without thinking. Her body was burning up with a fever.
“Damn it, is this how you take care of yourself?” Ji Jingchen used the blanket to wrap Du Jiuyuan up. Then, he asked Jiang Cheng to call a doctor over and put an IV drip on Du Jiuyuan.
…
The next day, Du Jiuyuan felt a little heavy-headed. Yet, she was determined to open her eyes. The first thing she saw was Ji Jingchen’s face, which was filled with indignation. His slender figure sat upright on a single seat that was placed beside her bed. He was in the middle of a video conference.
Ji Jingchen caught a glimpse of her waking up from the corner of his eyes and said concisely, “If you can’t handle this acquisition, you can stay in the States! There’s no need to come back.” After saying that, he shut the computer and took off his headphones.
“How do you feel?” Ji Jingchen pointed at her head and asked with concern.
To be honest, the current state Ji Jingchen was in made Du Jiuyuan a little scared. He felt like a tiger who was placed in front of his prey, and he had to choose his steps wisely to lure it in.
“My head is a little heavy, but I should be fine.” Du Jiuyuan swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. It must be the cold water that she stood under in the shower for a long time before she went to sleep that caused her to have a fever.
“There’s breakfast outside. After you’re done eating, I want you to follow me somewhere.” Ji Jingchen used his commanding tone once again.
“Where to?” Du Jiuyuan asked.
Ji Jinchen did not answer. Instead, he stood up and walked out of the room.
This ridiculously arrogant and self-absorbed man probably would never learn to respect people in this lifetime!
…
At the Love Mosheng Wedding Dress Shop.
“CEO Ji, these are the latest ten sets of wedding dresses that were delivered overnight according to your instructions. Each set is designed by a top designer and is completely handmade.” A well-dressed woman stood respectfully by Ji Jingchen’s side.
“Pick one that you like.” Ji Jingchen had not slept the entire night. At first, he stayed awake because he was worried about Du Jiuyuan’s fever which had not subsided, but later on, he was kept awake trying to think of ways to win her back.
He had not given her a proper wedding. They had only registered their marriage without any ceremony. She had mentioned it many times to him in the past.
Du Jiuyuan did not move. She did not even look at the ten sets of gorgeous and luxurious wedding dresses. Instead, she asked with a cold face, “What’s the meaning of all these? We are about to get divorced.”
“In three days, we’ll have a wedding ceremony. You can pick the place, anywhere you want.” Ji Jingchen stared at Du Jiuyuan’s face as he said this, trying to capture a hint of joy.
Jiang Cheng, who was standing at the side, revealed an awkward but polite smile. He didn’t know why Ji Jingchen had gone crazy last night and insisted on having the wedding ceremony three days later. Therefore, Ji Jingchen wasn’t the only one who hadn’t slept the whole night. Jiang Cheng, who was instructed to prepare all of these, did not get to sleep either.
Du Jiuyuan didn’t react as Ji Jingchen had hoped. Not only did she not feel the slightest bit of joy, she directly walked out of the shop.
“Where are you going? Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?” Ji Jingchen took a few quick steps and grabbed her slender and fair wrist.
Du Jiuyuan was so angry that she used all her strength to push his hand away. “Ji Jingchen, what I want is a divorce!” She gritted her teeth and shouted word by word.
“Du Jiuyuan, how long are you going to keep this up?”
“Ji Jingchen, you can’t possibly still think that I’m playing hard to get at this point, right?”
“Why? Why would you file for a divorce without any warning and any reason?”
“Ji Jingchen, do you love me?” Du Jiuyuan didn’t answer but only asked this question.
Ji Jingchen fell silent. The entire world also fell silent for a while.. Standing by the side, Jiang Cheng signaled for the others to leave before walking out silently.
