Chapter 2: Start a New Life and Stop Looking Back

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Du Jiuyuan took one last look at the place where she had lived for five years. There were just too many memories of her and Ji Jingchen here. If it were possible, she did not want to take another step into this place ever again.

Meanwhile, Lili had driven over to the Ji family home as promised. She got out of the car to help Du Jiuyuan put her suitcase away and opened the car door for her.

“Stop looking. We agreed to start a new life, so do not look back anymore.” Lili knew all about how Du Jiuyuan had been living all these years. She could not imagine how Du Jiuyuan could stand living such a life for so long.

“Yes, can you please send me to Fuwan International. I have rented an apartment there.” Du Jiuyuan rubbed her swollen eyes and got into the car.

Lili wanted Du Jiuyuan to come and live at her home but she knew Du Jiuyuan’s personality well enough. Du Jiuyuan would insist to not trouble her, so Lili decided to drive Du Jiuyuan to her intended destination.

Du Jiuyuan and Lili did not utter a single word along the way. Suddenly, the silence in the car was broken by a ringtone — it was Du Jiuyuan’s exclusive ringtone for Ji Jingchen.

When she thought of the joy she once felt upon hearing the ringtone, Du Jiuyuan felt very insulted.

Not long after, the ringtone stopped.

Ji Jingchen was an extremely impatient person, especially when it came to Du Jiuyuan. If she did not pick up his call, he would never call her again.

The ringtone rang once again, interrupting Du Jiuyuan’s train of thought. Ji Jingchen was calling her again. It was a little unexpected, but it caused her heart to ache at the same time.

It had been five years, yet this was the first time Ji Jingchen had called Du Jiuyuan twice in a row. Perhaps it was because Madam Ji had complained!

Du Jiuyuan felt that this scene was especially ironic. In the past, even if Ji Jingchen had called to scold her, she would have happily answered, as long as she could hear Ji Jingchen’s voice.

At this time, Du Jiuyuan chose to turn off her phone. Since her marriage had already come to an end, there was no point in answering the phone anymore.

As Lili drove, she paid attention to Du Jiuyuan’s condition because she understood one thing. She knew Du Jiuyuan loved Ji Jingchen very much.

If it only took three seconds to fall in love with someone, then a duration of three years would certainly not be enough to forget one’s love!

Du Jiuyuan crossed her arms over her chest, lowered her head, and silently shed a few tears.

Meanwhile, in Paris, France, Ji Jingchen sat in front of his desk, his fingers gripping his phone tight. He was unable to repress his anger anymore and the senior executive that was having a discussion with Ji Jingchen hardly dared to breathe.

This was the first time Du Jiuyuan had refused to answer his call. Ji Jingchen put down his phone, waved his hand, and signaled for the senior executive to leave the room. The senior executive ran away while breathing a sigh of relief.

“Jiang Cheng,” he called. Jiang Cheng was one of Ji Jingchen’s special assistants and was the only person who best understood Ji Jingchen.

“How can I be of assistance, CEO Ji?” Jiang Cheng immediately responded respectfully.

When Jiang Cheng saw Ji Jingchen’s expression, he knew that something must have happened back at home with his boss’ wife. He was prepared to become the mediator for the two lovebirds.

“I need you to return to the country. Take the Thunderbolt.” The man’s tone was entirely firm.

The Thunderbolt was Ji Jingchen’s private plane. Although it was convenient and fast, they would have to negotiate with the airport before it could take flight.

“Yes, sir.” Jiang Cheng did not waste any time and immediately left to arrange this matter.

The next day, a modest, pure black Maybach was speeding through the roads of Hong Kong City. Jiang Cheng drove while also simultaneously checking on Ji Jingchen through the rearview mirror from time to time.

Du Jiuyuan’s phone remained switched off, so Ji Jingchen had to resort to calling the butler.

“Get Du Jiuyuan to answer the phone!”

“Young Master, the young madam is not in the villa. She... she left with her suitcase early in the morning,” the butler stammered.

Ji Jingchen hung up the phone and dropped it heavily onto his lap.

“Go to Liyuan and find out what happened to Du Jiuyuan.” Since she was not at home, there was no need to go there.

...

Du Jiuyuan had spent her personal savings to rent a small apartment at Fuwan International. After graduating from university, she married Ji Jingchen. Although she did not have a job, she had a scholarship and a social media account that had nearly a million views. Du Jiuyuan had a stream of clients providing her advertising work from time to time, enabling her to save up a healthy sum of money.

After Du Jiuyuan graduated and got married to Ji Jingchen, she had tried to secure herself a job. However, Ji Jingchen always found out and stopped her from accepting any of those jobs.

She could still vaguely remember his words at the time. “Since you are a part of the Ji family now, you have to start acting like Mrs. Ji. The Ji family doesn’t lack money!”

At that time, Du Jiuyuan naively thought that Ji Jingchen’s really cared for her and did not want her to be tired. Now that she thought about it again, he probably despised her for doing things that would embarrass him!

“It’s a fresh start. Du Jiuyuan, you can do it!” Du Jiuyuan held back her tears and cheered herself on.

Last night, Lili insisted on staying in the apartment with Du Jiuyuan. No matter how she looked at Du Jiuyuan, she felt that there was something amiss with her, so she wanted to keep Du Jiuyuan company.

“Make sure you rest well. I’m heading out to work,” Du Jiuyuan said. Lili was still lazing in bed. Du Jiuyuan made breakfast and took a bite.

“Work? Du Jiuyuan, where are you heading to for work?” Lili was shocked
