Chapter 58: Are You Still the Same Ji Jingchen?

Ji Yanchen, who was squatting on the ground cleaning up the paint, watched the two of them gradually walk away. He didn’t give up and went forward to shout, “Brother, I haven’t eaten yet!”

Ji Jingchen stopped. “Clean up your paint properly. If you don’t clean it up within a week, I’ll send you to Africa.”

Ji Yanchen was left speechless.

‘Oh no, my brother has been possessed by a ghost. Ahhhhh! I’m his favorite younger brother! How can he treat me like this?’

…

The restaurant was indeed very near to Du Jiuyuan’s studio. The driver stepped on the gas pedal and they arrived quickly. The waiter opened the door enthusiastically and looked at Du Jiuyuan with envy. It was peak hour, but the restaurant was very deserted.

The floor was full of fresh flowers and candles, and the lighting was not the same. Du Jiuyuan frowned as she walked until she saw that half of the room was full of roses. She was not as happy as Ji Jingchen had expected, instead, she asked, “Don’t tell me this is also to apologize.”

Roses represented love. Du Jiuyuan had felt that something was wrong with Ji Jingchen during the past few days in the hospital. This was clearly the atmosphere of a confession.

“I’m sorry, Peter prepared all of this, including the flowers I gave you at the hospital. It was all his idea.” Ji Jingchen realized that Du Jiuyuan wanted to leave in anger, so he didn’t hesitate to shift the blame. He was trying to pretend that he was not responsible for any of this.

Du Jiuyuan thought of how Peter had tried to call her “Madam” a few times before and quickly changed his words. When she saw the sincerity on Ji Jingchen’s face, she believed him a little. After all, how could this annoying man know about all these things?

Ji Jingchen asked the enthusiastic waiter to take the things away. He went forward and pulled out a table and chair for Du Jiuyuan. He was full of gentlemanly demeanor.

Du Jiuyuan sat down slowly. When she thought of Peter’s old-fashioned look, she became suspicious again. “CEO Ji really found an obedient special assistant.”

Not only was Peter obedient, but he could also take the blame from time to time. He was simply omnipotent.

“If you don’t like him, I’ll send him to Africa,” Ji Jingchen sat down opposite her and said after thinking for a moment.

‘Is it important whether I like your special assistant?’

The dinner was indeed ordered by Peter. It was a top-grade Wellington steak. Accompanying it was a bottle of limited-edition wine, produced by the Ji family’s vineyard. There were also musicians performing at the venue.

Ji Jingchen saw that Du Jiuyuan did not like this kind of atmosphere, so he asked the musicians to stop. The meal was spent in a very quiet atmosphere instead.

Du Jiuyuan got up and wanted to leave. This meal really didn’t give her a good feeling. At this time, who was Ji Jingchen going to show his affection to?

“Thank you, CEO Ji, for your hospitality. I still have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first.” Du Jiuyuan didn’t give Ji Jingchen a chance to speak and walked straight out.

Ji Jingchen didn’t say a word. He watched as she pushed open the restaurant door, got up, and followed her out. Just as she was about to get into a taxi, he went forward and carried her horizontally, bringing her back to his car.

“Ji Jingchen! What are you doing?” By the time Du Jiuyuan reacted, she was already in the car.

“Start the car!” Ji Jingchen didn’t reply to her but instructed the driver to start the engine instead.

“Ji Jingchen, what on earth are you doing?” Du Jiuyuan took a deep breath to calm herself down. After muttering ‘annoying man’ a few times in her heart, she asked again.

“You’re not calling me CEO Ji anymore? Are you calling me an ‘annoying man’ in your heart? Feel free to do so. Don’t hold it in.” After confirming that the car door was locked, Ji Jingchen released Du Jiuyuan.

Ever since she changed the way she addressed him and called him CEO Ji, Ji Jingchen had been holding in his anger. They used to have the closest relationship, but now he is like a mere stranger in her eyes.

Du Jiuyuan even suspected that Ji Jingchen could read her mind. He actually knew everything she said in her heart.

“Are you still the same Ji Jingchen that I know?” Du Jiuyuan moved to the side and looked at Ji Jingchen with confusion.

Needless to say, he must have come to see her today, and the agenda in the restaurant was arranged by him. Compared to Du Jiuyuan’s strong and calm appearance in front of him, Ji Jingchen still loved her most authentic appearance.

“You’re right, I’m not.” Ji Jingchen approached Du Jiuyuan and spoke with a warm breath in her ears. His familiar tone and handsome features, who else could it be but Ji Jingchen!

‘Ji Jingchen, you’re like a poppy, beautiful but deadly. I will never willingly fall into your trap again.’

Du Jiuyuan turned her head away, avoiding his gaze.
