‘What happened last night?’

Lu Ziang stared at the two of them with a gossipy gaze. Ji Jingchen looked over coldly.

Lu Ziang stood up immediately. “I need to pee. You guys can talk.”

After saying that, he ran away quickly.

“Yuanyuan, it was my fault last night. I shouldn’t have lied to you.” His voice was low and hoarse, and his attitude was sincere.

After all, to get rid of Ji Jingchen, Doctor Li had told him last night that women hated lying the most. However, women were more soft-hearted, especially women who had loved him so deeply. As long as he lowered himself and apologized properly, Yuanyuan would forgive him.

Du Jiuyuan wanted to free herself from his grasp, but she was too weak and couldn’t resist Ji Jingchen’s strong binding force.

“Ji Jingchen, I won’t accept your investment, not because of our personal grudges, but because if nothing goes wrong, the studio will become my lifelong goal. Do you understand?”

Ji Jingchen’s eyes met hers. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, “I understand.”

Du Jiuyuan heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this man didn’t lose control, and he was still with his senses. At the very least, he could understand what she meant.

However, the arrogant man’s voice sounded again. “Tomorrow, I’ll have Peter send you a fresh proposal. Everything will be done according to the contract.”

An arrogant man will always be an arrogant man!

“Ji Jingchen, why don’t you understand? I can accept anyone’s investment, but I can’t accept yours.”

Ji Jingchen’s handsome face instantly turned cold, and his tone was indifferent. “Why?”

“Because if I want my studio to stand tall and strong, it absolutely can’t have anything to do with you because I want to be even with you. Ji Jingchen, I definitely won’t turn back, and I won’t remarry you. I’m just a very ordinary woman…” As Du Jiuyuan said this, her tone paused.

“When I like someone, I can throw my life away. If I don’t like someone, I’ll be ruthless and won’t turn back. Moreover, when I see you now, I’ll wonder whether your emotions are stable or not. I’ll be thinking if I accidentally lose control of my words and you might hurt me…”

Ji Jingchen’s hands that bound her drooped down powerlessly. The only light left in his eyes instantly disappeared— what replaced it was darkness.

Du Jiuyuan didn’t want to hurt him, but she didn’t want to give him any fake hopes. She didn’t dare to turn back, and she didn’t dare to be as reckless as she was a few years ago.

Ji Jingchen’s drooping eyelashes seemed to have a few drops of tears hanging on them. His entire body seemed to be wrapped in a thick layer of ice and snow, making it difficult for others to get close to him.

Du Jiuyuan turned around and was about to leave. Just as she took two steps, Ji Jingchen’s tense voice came into her ears. “Du Jiuyuan, you don’t love me at all. You’re just imagining things now, thinking that you’re still in love with me.”

“I don’t know, it could be possible.” Du Jiuyuan trembled slightly and blurted out without thinking.

The only thing she could do for him now was not to give him any fantasies. Lu Ziang gave an excuse that he wanted to pee, but he did not go far. He leaned against the door and heard everything clearly.

When Du Jiuyuan pulled the door open, Lu Ziang almost fell to the ground.

Thinking of the heartless words Du Jiuyuan said to Ji Jingchen, Lu Ziang snorted angrily, “Du Jiuyuan, you’re heartless!”

Du Jiuyuan naturally wouldn’t argue with him, and she left him alone.

Lu Ziang walked into the private room and patted Ji Jingchen’s shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry, we don’t want a heartless woman. I’ll find a better one for you!”

Ji Jingchen didn’t reply. His entire body was gloomy.

“Jingchen, is it necessary for you to do this? She has already admitted that she has never loved you…” When he saw Ji Jingchen’s murderous gaze, Lu Ziang’s voice suddenly stopped.

“Oops. I think I spoke too much. Forget about it then. Since you don’t even care, why should an outsider like me care? You’re just a pure and innocent person with lots of money.”

Ji Jingchen picked up the wine that Du Jiuyuan had drunk and drank it in one gulp. “You don’t understand. She’s really afraid of me hurting her.”

‘And for me, I’m afraid that she’ll look at me one day with fear in her eyes.’

This was actually one of the reasons why Ji Jingchen and Du Jiuyuan rarely communicated.

“Don’t worry. I’ll give the order to ban her from the industry tomorrow!”

“Try to do it to her if you dare!”

“I-I’m… just venting my anger for you, alright?” Lu Ziang was stunned. He stuttered.

“There’s no need! If you invest in her studio, I’ll add another 50 million yuan!”

“Jingchen, do you have to go this far? She doesn’t even care about you.”

“You don’t understand. She’s really afraid of me.”

“…”

The next day, Lu Ziang and his manager came looking for Du Jiuyuan with the contract.

Du Jiuyuan saw that there was an additional 50 million yuan and asked, “Did Ji Jingchen send you here?”

“I came here on my own accord. I thought about it carefully last night. I believe in your ability, but let me say this first. I want to get my return of investment within a year, or else, I’ll withdraw my investment.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you lose any money.”

After the two discussed, they signed the contract and prepared BLACK’s joint venture proposal..
