Love? Ji Jingchen never understood what love was! His mother died early, and his father quickly remarried. Only his grandmother taught him how to survive in this world which was full of danger.
"Ji Jingchen, you never loved me, yet you still ask me why?" Du Jiuyuan looked at him calmly and asked. She no longer felt the need to cry.
"Du Jiuyuan, am I, Ji Jingchen, that easy to get rid of? When you are in love with me, you marry me. But when the love has faded, you feel compelled to ask for a divorce? Is that it?" Ji Jingchen had never been a person who would give in easily.
Back then, when Du Jiuyuan pursued him, he neither accepted nor rejected her. Yet, she continued to follow him every single day.
Grandmother Ji saw all of this. After Du Jiuyuan graduated from university, Grandmother Ji used her illness to trick Ji Jingchen into thinking that she did not have much time left to live. She wanted to see him get married with her own eyes.
Ji Jingchen had been raised by Grandmother Ji since he was young, so he naturally could not refuse. He immediately registered his marriage with Du Jiuyuan.
In the end, it turned out that Grandmother Ji only had a minor illness and quickly recovered. When Ji Jingchen found out, he was very angry but never mentioned anything about divorcing.
"When Grandma Ji lied to you back then, it had nothing to do with me. I didn't confess my love for you out of selfishness. Since then, I've already used five years of my life to make up for it. Isn't that enough?"𝑓𝗿𝚎𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣𝗻o𝘷e𝘭 - 🅽🅽novel
Not long after the two of them got married, Grandmother Ji took the opportunity to recuperate and moved away from the Ji family house. Ji Jingchen often used the excuse of being busy with work in order to not go home.
Du Jiuyuan, on the other hand, was alone in the Ji family. She constantly suffered from Madam Ji's harassment and Tang Yingxue's humiliation. She could only swallow all these grievances.
Now, Du Jiuyuan had completely thought it through. From now on, she will live only for herself.
"It's not enough. Since you've made a mistake, you'll have to spend the rest of your life to rectify it." Ji Jingchen's cold voice rang out mercilessly.
From the day he decided to marry Du Jiuyuan, Ji Jingchen had never thought of divorcing her. In fact, he secretly harbored inside his heart that the person Du Jiuyuan fell in love with at first sight was not actually him, but merely someone Du Jiuyuan thought he was.
At this moment, Du Jiuyuan wished she could just die together with Ji Jingchen. This annoying man always had the ability to infuriate others massively.
"Ji Jingchen, why don't you just die?" Du Jiuyuan said in a flustered and exasperated manner. She then turned around and ran. If she did not leave now, she might just end up doing something drastic.
Ji Jingchen was somewhat in disbelief.
Du Jiuyuan had called him a ridiculously arrogant and self-absorbed man yesterday. Today, she actually asked him to end his life. She seemed to have changed completely.
Jiang Cheng was also shocked. He heard the conversation between the two at the door. Du Jiuyuan actually had the guts to curse CEO Ji! CEO Ji currently looked like he would gladly die rather than suffer from this embarrassment.
"Jiang Cheng, keep an eye on her." Ji Jingchen came back to his senses. He did not intend to chase after her.
Something must have happened during this period of time. Otherwise, Du Jiuyuan would not be so determined. He still refused to believe that the woman who used to fawn all over him is now insisting on a divorce.
Therefore, he prepared to go home and look for the source of Du Jiuyuan's drastic change.
...
He Lili's family was in the coffee business. They opened a few famous coffee shops in Hong Kong city. Du Jiuyuan was really angry but had nowhere to go, so she went to look for Lili.
"Quick, tell me what's going on. Is your annoying man back in town?" Lili asked nosily upon seeing Du Jiuyuan.
In He Lili's eyes, Ji Jingchen's husband had no good traits other than having good looks.
"He brought me to a wedding dress shop just now and said that he would hold a wedding ceremony with me in three days. I scolded him and ran away." When Du Jiuyuan said this, it was as if she was telling a story about someone else, not about Ji Jingchen.
After hearing Du Jiuyuan's words, He Lili almost dropped the cup of cappuccino in her hand. She burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha... does Ji Jingchen's have zero EQ? He actually wants to force you to get married and announce it to the whole world, making you the public enemy of his diehard fans?"
In fact, He Lili thought that Ji Jingchen did the right thing by not making his marriage with Du Jiuyuan public, as Ji Jingchen was truly a terrible husband. Not only did he rarely come home, he also never listened to any of Du Jiuyuan's explanations and had let the two women at home constantly bully her.
"I don't know." Du Jiuyuan took a sip of coffee. She felt that communicating with Ji Jingchen is an impossible task.
"Then... What are you going to do? Are you really going to marry him in three days?" He Lili looked at Du Jiuyuan's worried face and instantly felt uneasy.
There was a saying that a best friend is equivalent to a family member itself. This was reflected vividly in the two of them.
"Impossible. I will never repeat the same mistake. I will never marry him, and I will never continue to be Mrs. Ji." Du Jiuyuan's words were not only for He Lili, but also for herself.
"Lili, I want to ask a favor from you, but it might cause you some trouble.." Du Jiuyuan sighed and continued.
