Chapter 80: If There’re No Pressing Needs, Please Maintain Your Boundaries

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The woman standing next to Ji Jingchen was undoubtedly pulled into the trap. Those who didn’t dare to confront Ji Jingchen would shift their target to Du Jiuyuan.

How could Ji Jingchen not figure out the reason? He originally wanted to publicly protect Du Jiuyuan, but he never thought that this would bring more danger to her.

“Ji Jingchen, for the next few days, I just want to devote my heart and soul to the studio. If there’re no pressing needs, please maintain your boundaries,” Du Jiuyuan took a deep breath and said casually.

After saying that, she put on her shoes, tidied up her hair, and turned to leave the room. Ji Jingchen did not chase after her this time. This was not because he had given up, but because he had more important things to do.

He first informed Peter and asked him to drive Du Jiuyuan away. Then, he gave Gu Xingchen a call. This matter had already been brought to the police station, and this incident would implicate Du Jiuyuan. With Gu Xingchen’s appearance, at least she would not have to be summoned to the police station to have her statement taken.

Next, he had to properly investigate who was behind tonight’s incident!

…

Du Jiuyuan took the elevator downstairs and saw Ji Jingchen’s car as well as Peter standing beside it.

“Miss Du, CEO Ji asked me to send you off,” Peter said very respectfully.

“I’ll take a taxi myself,” Du Jiuyuan declined politely.

She realized that her mind was in a mess. Seeing Ji Jingchen like that, her heart, which had been sealed with great difficulty, started to beat. At this moment, she only wanted to calm down by herself.

“CEO Ji ordered me to…”

Peter opened his mouth again but was interrupted by Du Jiuyuan. “It’s not necessary, I can leave on my own.” This time, her tone was very cold, as if she was facing a stranger.

Peter was a little embarrassed and did not speak again.

Du Jiuyuan knew that he was just following orders. It was indeed not easy to take a taxi here. This hotel was in a wealthy district, so no one came here by taxi.

“Peter, I want to be alone for a while. Please take the car and just follow me from a distance. I’ll let you know when I want to leave, okay?”

“Yes, Miss Du.” Peter’s furrowed brows eased up as if he was about to be pardoned.

Du Jiuyuan walked past him and walked aimlessly on the road in the wealthy district. Peter drove very far behind and tried not to disturb her.

Du Jiuyuan was in a bad mood. Although she had avoided a disaster today, she had also made a woman who wanted to harm her lose her innocence. Although she was thinking of returning a tooth for a tooth, she was still in a bad mood.

She knew very well that even without Ji Jingchen, she was still walking on a thorny road. There would be no shortage of such things along the way. Money could bring out the greatest evil in a person. Anyone could succumb to the temptation of money to bring harm to her. Could it be that she would have to face more of such things in the future?

However, it was useless to endure it again and again. If she did not know Ji Jingchen very well, she might have fallen into the trap and the woman lying on the bed would have been her.

‘If people don’t lay hands on me, I won’t go against them. One must not have the heart to harm others, but one must guard against others.’ Du Jiuyuan’s ears echoed the words Ji Jingchen had said to her before they got married. It seemed like she had reached a decision.

She suddenly stopped walking, and her mood instantly improved. She was just about to wave to Peter and get into the car to go home when she suddenly heard a heavy panting sound not far away.

Du Jiuyuan turned her head and looked over. Not far away was a small garden. Under the light of the street lamps, she vaguely saw a person sitting on a bench. This person’s breathing was rapid as if he could not breathe.

Du Jiuyuan did not hesitate any longer. She lifted the hem of her skirt and walked over and saw a young man. His face was pale, and his breathing was weak. He was breathing more and more rapidly as if he was about to die.

“Hello, are you okay?” Du Jiuyuan went forward and patted the young man’s back to help him breathe.

“Medicine… in the pocket… There is medicine in the pocket.” The young man looked very uncomfortable. The moment he saw Du Jiuyuan, it was as if he had seen his savior. He squeezed out these words from his throat.

Du Jiuyuan reacted in an instant. She started to rummage through the young man’s body. Finally, she took out a small porcelain bottle from the inner pocket of his shirt. The young man blinked twice, indicating that this was his medicine.

While opening the porcelain bottle, a fresh medicinal fragrance was emitted from inside. Du Jiuyuan poured one out and fed it to the young man’s mouth. He swallowed it forcefully. The medicinal effect still needed to be exerted. His expression was still ferocious, and he was breathing heavily.

Peter, who was far away, saw that Du Jiuyuan had disappeared, so he drove over to check. Seeing the situation, he said, “Miss Du, do you need help?”
