Du Jiuyuan heaved a sigh of relief. She had thought that Ji Jingchen had noticed something amiss and sent Jiang Cheng over to keep an eye on her. That would have caused all her efforts to be completely wasted.

Jiang Cheng had told her that Ji Jingchen would be attending the birthday party of a big shot in the business circle tonight and needed a female companion.

“It has nothing to do with me.” As long as Ji Jingchen did not come to see her, Du Jiuyuan would not mind if the damn wedding was postponed for two years, let alone two days.

“Madam, this is CEO Ji’s request. Please understand and don’t make things difficult for me.” Jiang Cheng was very distressed. The temperamental Ji Jingchen was already very difficult to please, now the sudden wedding preparations since the past few days had made Jiang Chen even busier.

Du Jiuyuan understood Ji Jingchen’s temper very well. If she refused to accompany him, Jiang Cheng would suffer from Ji Jingchen’s wrath. Even though she was currently planning an escape, she should still confuse that annoying man.

“I’ll go change.” Du Jiuyuan stood up and returned to her room.

She was getting more and more confused about what Ji Jingchen meant to do. Could he be planning to expose their relationship to the public?

If this had happened earlier during their happy days, Du Jiuyuan would have been so delighted and would not be able to sleep for three days and three nights.

Du Jiuyuan chose a gorgeous golden long dress that revealed her shoulders. Her hair was casually draped down and she put on some simple makeup.

When she walked out of the room, she did not see Jiang Cheng, but Ji Jingchen in a black tuxedo instead.

The moment he saw Du Jiuyuan, Ji Jingchen’s eyes flashed with surprise. In the past, Du Jiuyuan had always dressed very simply and casually. She rarely put on makeup, causing her face to look clean but not eye-catching.

Now that she had dressed up a little by wearing a formal evening gown, she looked very eye-catching indeed.

Du Jiuyuan did not know that Ji Jingchen would come. Her expression was a little solemn. She took a step back to keep a distance from him, her eyes a little misty.

“Why are you here?”

“To pick you up.”

“Shall we set off now, then?”

The two of them had a rare harmony between them, as if they were different from usual.

Ji Jingchen pointed at her feet. She had not changed her shoes yet.

Du Jiuyuan came to her senses. She picked out a pair of golden high heels that matched her clothes perfectly. Just as she was about to bend down to change her shoes, Ji Jingchen had already squatted down gently. He swiftly picked up the shoes?and carefully changed them for her.

She took a deep breath and looked at Ji Jingchen’s actions, deep in thought.

Actually, this was not the first time he had put on shoes for her.

She still remembered that during a spring outing in university, she had walked very far with a pair of shoes that did not fit, causing her feet to be covered in blisters.

She called Ji Jingchen and begged him to come pick her up.

When everyone had left and she thought that Ji Jingchen would not come, he suddenly appeared and looked as if he was pleasantly surprised.

At that time, Ji Jingchen did not say anything. He just squatted down, took off her shoes, and threw them away. Then, he carried her to the car.

These beautiful memories had disappeared without a trace. The memories that Du Jiuyuan thought could support her to continue living with Ji Jingchen had all been withered by the tides of time.

Ji Jingchen helped her change her shoes. He stood up and extended his arm in front of her, waiting quietly.

Du Jiuyuan’s gaze fell on his arm. She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she gently held onto his arm and went out with him.

Jiang Cheng was waiting downstairs. When he saw them coming down, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind — they were a match made in heaven.

Jiang Cheng had never thought that the two of them were a good match before. Only now did he finally realize that his boss would only lower his defenses in front of Du Jiuyuan.

“Drive!”Ji Jingchen’s sharp gaze swept over Jiang Cheng. There was a strong warning in his eyes.

Jiang Cheng was shocked and only then did he react. He hurriedly opened the car door for Ji Jingchen.

In the car, Du Jiuyuan kept her distance from Ji Jingchen. The two of them sat down together.

Ji Jingchen did not lean over as usual. He ordered Jiang Cheng to start the car and then closed his eyes to rest.

The birthday banquet was held in a place that only members could enter. The people who came here were either rich or nobility. To put it simply, they were all famous people in Hong Kong.

Ji Jingchen and Du Jiuyuan entered the venue together and instantly became the focus of everyone present.

Firstly, the focus was due to Du Jiuyuan’s beauty and aura. Secondly, it was because she was standing by Ji Jingchen’s side.

Ji Jingchen rarely participated in such events, and even when he did, he had never brought a woman with him. Everyone was secretly guessing the identity of this woman. Only a few people present knew about Du Jiuyuan, but they kept it a secret.

Faced with everyone’s sharp gazes, Du Jiuyuan felt a little uncomfortable because this was the first time she and Ji Jingchen had appeared in public side by side.

On second thought however, none of them knew who she was, so Du Jiuyuan heaved a sigh of relief.

“Jingchen, you came at the right time again. I thought you weren’t coming.” Gu Xingchen held a glass of wine and slowly walked over.

“Du... Du Jiuyuan?” A sudden voice rang out, making Du Jiuyuan the center of attention once again.

There was no need to guess the source of the voice. It surely must be Ji Jingchen’s toxic friend, Lu Ziang.

Although the people present did not know what Du Jiuyuan looked like, they all knew her name.
