Tang Yingxue’s sweet voice rang out at this moment. “Brother Jingchen, even if it will make you angry, I still have to say this. Last night, she was the one who took the initiative to ask for a divorce. Auntie merely lectured her a little, but she ended up throwing bird’s nest soup on Auntie’s head. She has gone overboard!”

Tang Yingxue was Madam Ji’s adopted daughter, but she had always addressed Madam Ji as ‘Auntie’ because Madam Ji had raised her as her daughter-in-law, with the intention of using her to keep Ji Jingchen closely by her side.

Ji Jingchen paused, then turned around and sized up the woman standing below with a questioning gaze.

It was hard to imagine that Du Jiuyuan would do such a thing. As far as Ji Jingchen recalled, his wife seemed to have always been submissive in front of the members of the Ji family.

His jet-black hair was now wet, and the tips of his hair were still dripping. He looked extremely seductive.

However, Du Jiuyuan had no intention of fawning over him. She met his questioning gaze with a slight smile before admitting, “What they said is true.”

In the past, regardless of whether Ji Jingchen believed her or not, she would explain herself in a hurry. Now, she could not be bothered with that. It would be best if he signed the divorce papers in a fit of anger and let her go.

“Go and apologize.” Ji Jingchen’s voice rose slowly.

“I refuse.” The only way she would apologize to Madam Ji was if Madam Ji apologized to her for the past.

“Jingchen, such a woman doesn’t deserve you at all. Look at her, she doesn’t look like a daughter-in-law. You’d better…” Madam Ji was very angry, but before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Ji Jingchen.

“She’s been in a bad mood these past two days. Tell Jiang Cheng to buy anything that you want in return for her misgivings. Just view it as a token of appreciation from her.”

Madam Ji’s face immediately darkened. She did not understand why her son was so protective of that poor woman.

“Brother Jingchen, Auntie was so angry last night that she almost had a heart attack. How could you…”

Before Tang Yingxue could finish her sentence, a cold gaze stared at her. She was completely shocked and immediately shut her mouth.

Then, Ji Jingchen grabbed Du Jiuyuan’s hand and led her upstairs without saying a word.

Du Jiuyuan was a little disappointed. It seemed that it was impossible to use Madam Ji to persuade Ji Jingchen to divorce her.

Ji Jingchen plopped himself down on the sofa and casually wiped his jet-black hair with a towel in his hand. Du Jiuyuan slowly went to the bathroom to get a hair dryer and dried his hair just like in the past.

When his hair was completely dry, Du Jiuyuan put down the hair dryer with the intention to talk to him about the divorce again. When she sat down, she realized that he was leaning against the sofa. He had dozed off. Even after he fell asleep, his cold brows were tightly furrowed.

She had once thought that she was the person who could smooth out the wrinkles between his brows, but the past five years had taught her that she could not provide warmth for Ji Jingchen.

Ji Jingchen was afraid of the cold, so the air conditioning in the room was always turned up a little. Du Jiuyuan turned it off completely and grabbed a blanket to cover him. Just as she was about to leave the room, a firm hand gripped her wrist.

Du Jiuyuan lowered her head. What she saw was his pair of dawn-like eyes, as mysterious as the night sky. The two of them looked at each other in silence.

“Ji Jingchen, you don’t love me, and Madam Ji doesn’t like me either. Our divorce will surely benefit all parties. It’ll also ensure that no one would be hurt.” In the end, it was Du Jiuyuan who broke the silence.

She had to be firm with Ji Jingchen.

“Did something happen recently?” In Ji Jingchen’s mind, something must have happened to Du Jiuyuan. Otherwise, her character would not have changed so drastically to the extent that she would voluntarily sign the divorce papers.

Du Jiuyuan shook her head. Her disappointment toward Ji Jingchen wasn’t just because of one or two incidents.

She finally understood what it meant to be afraid of not being able to give up on someone.

Looking at Ji Jingchen’s face, Du Jiuyuan felt a strong longing for him, but she quickly suppressed it because this longing of hers would cause her to fall into a deep abyss where she would never be able to escape from.

“Jingchen, this will be the last time I tell you this. Between us, my decision was a result of my own desires. Please, can we just part on good terms?” Du Jiuyuan tried to break free from Ji Jingchen’s grip but to no avail. She sighed and continued to try her best to speak in a calm tone.

Ji Jingchen did not believe her words. She had always been fine before, so how could she suddenly change so much?

Du Jiuyuan was more assertive in front of the two women. This was exactly what he wanted to see. Otherwise, he would not have refused to listen to her explanation.

However, she’d suddenly brought up the topic of divorce, what was going on?

Du Jiuyuan was used to Ji Jingchen’s silence. She was prepared to let him rest well and talk to him after he woke up.

“Why don’t you get some sleep. We’ll talk when you wake up.”

Ji Jingchen took out his cell phone, opened his contacts, and dialed Jiang Cheng’s number.

“Ask Dr. Li to come over.” When he was on the phone, he let go of her hand.

Du Jiuyuan merely thought that he was not feeling well and did not press further about him asking for a doctor to come over. Taking advantage of her freedom, she inched away from him.

The current Ji Jingchen was like an alluring drug to her. The taste that penetrated deep into her bones was the most fatal.

Ji Jingchen suddenly stood up and grabbed Du Jiuyuan’s wrist again. He then pressed her onto the sofa. “Yuanyuan, Li Ruyan is the best psychiatrist in Hong Kong.. She will definitely cure you.”
