Chapter 100: Trade Secret

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Du Jiuyuan was a little confused, so she asked, “What do you mean?”

“Don’t sell my cell phone number in the future. I don’t like it.” Ji Jingchen was a very important person. Hence his cell phone number could be considered a trade secret.

If Ji Jingchen’s number were discovered by someone unwanted, Du Jiuyuan would be in trouble.

Du Jiuyuan did not reply. She stood rooted to the ground for a few seconds. In the end, she walked to the dining table, picked up the dishes, and placed them in the microwave.

Five minutes later, the steaming hot dishes and soup were placed on the table. Du Jiuyuan made herself a cup of honey lemon water and pulled out a chair to sit down.

“I’m full from the hotpot tonight. I’ll just drink some water.” She meant to say that Ji Jingchen should start eating, but she drank instead.

Ji Jingchen said nothing. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks, then ate a few mouthfuls before throwing the rest away. He got up and was about to wash the dishes when Du Jiuyuan stopped him.

“Excuse me. You’re still injured. I don’t want Peter to send me a set of pink cutlery tomorrow.”

Du Jiuyuan took the bowl and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to clean. Ji Jingchen was standing at the kitchen door. His slender figure leaned against the glass door, looking like an abandoned child.

“Is your studio still short of people?” Ji Jingchen asked.

“It’s none of your business,” Du Jiuyuan answered coldly.

“I can help, you…” before Ji Jingchen could finish, he was interrupted by Du Jiuyuan again.

“You’ve eaten your meal and thrown away the leftovers. Are you done yet? Shouldn’t you leave?” Du Jiuyuan said impatiently.

Ji Jingchen thought it was probably the takeout food that made her unhappy, so he said, “Then I’m leaving.”

Du Jiuyuan didn’t reply and continued to wash the dishes.

“I’m leaving. Aren’t you going to send me off?” Ji Jingchen’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

“Ji Jingchen, we’re divorced. Do you think that I’ll still cling to you unwillingly like before?” Du Jiuyuan felt incredulous.

Ji Jingchen felt a little uncomfortable. He let out a long sigh and left dejectedly.

Du Jiuyuan didn’t wish to treat him so harshly. However, she had seen him lose control with her own eyes. It was impossible for her not to be afraid.

Although they were divorced now, she couldn’t guarantee that Ji Jingchen wouldn’t repeat the same mistake. Domestic violence has become an unavoidable topic in today’s society.

Everything was still the same. Although Du Jiuyuan’s heart ached for him, and she could understand him, but she wasn’t a saint. She didn’t have the fearless heart she had before. So, she couldn’t return to his side.

…

In Li Ruyan’s consulting room, Ji Jingchen paid her a late-night visit. Li Ruyan had met a difficult client earlier and was about to leave after settling everything. Ji Jingchen laid down on the recliner and looked at the ceiling without saying anything.

“CEO Ji, I’ve already gotten off work.” Li Ruyan rubbed the space between her eyebrows. Recently, she doubted herself and wondered why she liked Ji Jingchen.

What exactly did she like about him? She wanted him so much that she had gone against her professional ethics. Li Ruyan was so infatuated with Ji Jingchen until she had changed so much for him.

“It looks like your condition is under control.” Li Ruyan tried her best to face Ji Jingchen with the attitude of a professional psychiatrist.

“My heart hurts,” Ji Jingchen said with his eyes narrowed.

“If it hurts, go to the hospital and call the cardiology department.” Li Ruyan frowned, but her tone was calm.

“I want to drink.” Ji Jingchen’s voice sounded very sad. He was so sad that he even wanted to use alcohol to numb his feelings. If he were drunk, he wouldn’t have to remember everything, and it wouldn’t hurt as much.

Knowing that she had no hope of getting off work, Li Ruyan put down her briefcase and walked to Ji Jingchen’s side. She pulled out a chair and sat down.

“How many times do I need to tell you? You can’t touch alcohol or cigarettes. They will stimulate your brain nerves and induce your illness.” Li Ruyan sighed. She knew it would be useless to remind him.

“The person who sent Du Jiuyuan home tonight was a man. I asked her, and she said that the man was a new designer hired by the studio. My love for her is like flowing water, and I can’t control myself anymore. I even wanted to hide her from others.” Ji Jingchen said what he was thinking.

For a moment, that was what he thought.

“The current me wants to see her at all times. I want to know what she is doing. I want to know more about her. I even enjoy the way she is angry with me.” Ji Jingchen rambled on.. This was the first time he had said so much to Li Ruyan in one breath.
