Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

All these things were not important to Du Jiuyuan. She only had one thing to ask from Ji Jingchen, a divorce.

Getting a divorce was a must.

...

The next day, Du Jiuyuan was woken up by the ringing of the phone. Ji Jingchen left early in the morning and tasked Jiang Cheng to look after her.

“Auntie.” Du Jiuyuan rubbed her eyes and pressed the answer button.

“You’re so heartless. How’s it going? Don’t you feel obliged to tell me that you’re safe?” Du Ling was making breakfast and wanted to ask if she should bring Du Jiuyuan a serving. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

“I’ll be back in a while. Jiang Cheng said you already slept last night.” Du Jiuyuan took the phone and got off the bed. She saw Ji Jingchen’s bedroom door was ajar.

“Jiang Cheng, that kid, left early in the morning. He must have received a call. Yuanyuan, do you want to come back for breakfast?”

Jiang Cheng didn’t send the sofa to the Ji family, but threw it away and replaced it with a new one. After being by Ji Jingchen’s side for so long, he had learned how to deal with these complicated matters.

“I’d love to.” The two hung up after a few words.

Du Jiuyuan walked to Ji Jingchen’s bedroom and knocked on the door. There was no response, so she pushed the door open and entered.

The room was as clean as new, and there was not a single crease on the bed.

Since he was not there, there was no need to tell him.

Du Jiuyuan was about to turn around and leave, but she accidentally saw her own safe.

The safe was opened, and the slips of paper inside were placed neatly one by one. The gifts that had not been opened were lying quietly inside.

At first, Du Jiuyuan was reluctant to wear the gifts that were given to her. Even the clothes that he had given her were carefully placed in the cabinet. Later, she put them directly into the safe, intending to make them never see the light of day again.

There was a locked laptop next to the safe. Driven by curiosity, Du Jiuyuan tried entering a password twice, but it did not open.

Ding Dong!—

The notification sound of a text message rang.

“There’s something urgent at the company. If there’s anything you need, look for Jiang Cheng.” The text message was from Ji Jingchen, giving a brief explanation.

Du Jiuyuan did not reply. Instead, she went back to her bedroom to change her clothes and prepared to leave.

Madam Ji and Tang Yingxue were sitting on the sofa, each scrolling through their cell phones. They did not cause any trouble for Du Jiuyuan.

Jiang Cheng was standing next to Uncle Fu. He only moved when he saw Du Jiuyuan coming.

“Madam Ji, what would you like to do today?” Jiang Cheng automatically ignored everyone in the Ji family except for Du Jiuyuan.

“Send me back to my apartment.” Du Jiuyuan was not pretentious. It was not easy to get a taxi here.

Jiang Cheng went forward to take Du Jiuyuan’s bag and the two left the Ji family one after the other.

It was the morning rush hour, so there was a bit of traffic. Jiang Cheng drove a red Maybach, which Ji Jingchen had planned to give to Du Jiuyuan.

Du Jiuyuan had a driver’s license, but she rarely drove because her parents had died in a car accident.

Although the road was packed, the Maybach was huge and required two parking spaces.

Other cars distanced themselves from the Maybach since the car owners knew they would not be able to afford it if they ran into it.

The red Maybach was a limited edition model. The price had doubled recently and this car was the only one in the country. Not many people in the local market could afford this expensive vehicle.

The car was quiet as. Du Jiuyuan sat in the front passenger seat with her eyes slightly narrowed.

After they reached the apartment, Jiang Cheng spoke up. “Madam, I will be waiting downstairs. Call me if you need me.” His only task today was to take care of Du Jiuyuan.

“If you don’t follow me, aren’t you afraid that I’ll jump through the window and escape?” Du Jiuyuan opened her eyes and looked at the other cars in front of her. Then, she closed her eyes again.

Did Ji Jingchen not just ask someone to look after her? She hated it when she was overprotected.

She would not run away again. Her aunt was right. Running away was not the solution to the problem.

“Madam, your apartment is on the fourteenth floor.” Jiang Cheng had been by Ji Jingchen’s side for a long time and had developed a habit of not wanting to explain himself.

“If you don’t wish to follow me, then leave. I don’t need you to watch over me.” Du Jiuyuan actually wanted him to go up and have breakfast with her.

Jiang Cheng was Ji Jingchen’s special assistant. Whatever he did, it was always at the behest of Ji Jingchen. Du Jiuyuan felt that it was useless to argue with him.

“Ah? Alright then. I’ll follow Madam.” Jiang Cheng was slightly stunned and then continued.

The journey that should have taken ten minutes actually took more than an hour because of the terrifying morning rush hour in Hong Kong city.

Breakfast was just two hours away from lunch and Du Ling had prepared a big table of delicious food and was waiting for Du Jiuyuan to arrive.

Knock, Knock, knock...

Du Jiuyuan did not bring her keys, hence she knocked on the door lightly.

“Why are you so late? I’ve heated up the food twice already.” Du Ling gave Du Jiuyuan a pair of slippers. When she saw Jiang Cheng behind her, she also gave him a pair.

“There was a bad traffic jam,” Du Jiuyuan explained.

Jiang Cheng stood at the door. Before he could say anything, Du Ling opened her mouth.

“What are you standing there for? Come and eat together.”

Jiang Cheng had no choice but to enter the door and sit down. He began to eat under Du Ling’s gaze.

Du Jiuyuan took a sip of the sweet porridge and suddenly felt that the world was beautiful again.
