Ji Jingchen stepped forward and held Du Jiuyuan’s hand. The two of them went on stage under the watchful eyes of the audience.

CEO Dong enthusiastically handed the microphone to the two of them. He let the couple stand in the middle while he held his wife’s hand and walked off the stage.

“Today, in conjunction with CEO Dong’s birthday banquet, I would like to formally introduce a person to everyone — Du Jiuyuan. She is my wife and we will be holding a wedding in two days. Everyone is hereby invited to attend.”

Once these words were uttered, the entire venue fell silent. Only CEO Dong and Madam Dong clapped their hands in delight. The others then followed their lead and finally reacted and clapped their hands too.

When Lu Ziang heard Ji Jingchen’s words, he stood rooted to the ground. “Did I hear wrongly? Jingchen is going to have a wedding with that woman?”

Gu Xingchen calmly took a step to the side and replied after distancing himself, “You didn’t hear wrongly.”

Lu Ziang’s mind was filled with the image of Ji Jingchen personally saying that he wanted to marry Du Jiuyuan. He was completely shocked.

Du Jiuyuan who was on stage was also shocked. When she heard Ji Jingchen’s words, she froze on the spot. She turned her head and looked at the man beside her in disbelief.

So, this was his ultimate goal.

At this moment, trying to embarrass Ji Jingchen would be akin to having a death wish. Thus, Du Jiuyuan endured it and did not say anything.

...

There was no second half of the banquet for Du Jiuyuan. Her mind seemed to be fixed on the moment when Ji Jingchen pulled her onto the stage and said those words earlier.

Even Lu Ziang kept looking at her provocatively, but she did not provide any reaction.

It was not until Ji Jingchen sent her back to the hotel that she recovered from the shock.

“Send me back to the apartment,” Du Jiuyuan said coldly.

“Why?” In Ji Jingchen’s eyes, this presidential suite was much better than her apartment.

“This is not the place I should be.” Du Jiuyuan still felt more comfortable living in her small apartment.

Moreover, people were watching her 24 hours a day at the hotel, so she had no way to carry out her plan.

“Why are you unhappy?” After hearing Du Jiuyuan’s words, Ji Jingchen felt that she had returned to a bad mood once again.

Du Jiuyuan was so angry that she almost laughed. “Why should I be happy?”

“From now on, all the important people in Hong Kong city will know that you are my wife. Stop thinking about getting a divorce anymore.” Ji Jingchen’s thin and slender figure appeared particularly desolate in the night’s darkness.

“Ji Jingchen, do you not know how to respect people? Tomorrow, the entire Hong Kong city will know that I am your wife. I will become the public enemy of all the women who adore you. You are always so self-centered and never consider the feelings of others.” Du Jiuyuan sneered and said with great disdain.

Ji Jingchen was silent for a moment. He took note of how resolute Du Jiuyuan was and made a concession. He agreed to send her back to the apartment.

This time, he did not get out of the car. Instead, he merely watched Du Jiuyuan gradually disappear out of sight from behind.

Was this not what she wanted?

The first thing Du Jiuyuan did when she went upstairs to wash her face. She tried hard to calm herself down.

“B*stard! B*stard!” Du Jiuyuan had to admit that she was moved. This wedding was truly what she wanted most previously.

Ji Jingchen not only could anger others easily, but he could also make people suffer a lot.

Du Jiuyuan then called He Lili.

“Did you ask for Master Lu’s autograph on my behalf?” Lu Ziang was not only a popular male star, but he was also a first-class gamer. From time to time, he would do a live stream with his fans.

In the eyes of others, Lu Ziang was a generous guy who gave out plenty of gifts for his fans, but in the eyes of Du Jiuyuan, he was different.

It was a blatant act of money-making.

“He has an inexplicable hostility toward me and I didn’t want to talk to him.” Du Jiuyuan was not angry. If it were not for Lu Ziang’s hostility, she would indeed have asked for an autograph on Lili’s behalf.

“Then I’ll just marry Gu Xingchen. He’s the most handsome criminal police officer in Hong Kong,” said He Lili without hesitation.

In her fantasy, her two dream lovers would compete with each other to invite her to dinner and chase after her.

“Don’t be silly. Have you made all the arrangements?” Du Jiuyuan needed to stay firm with her decision. Facing Ji Jingchen, she might only have this one chance.

“Yes, I have.

“All the arrangements will be ready tomorrow night.”

...

The next day, Jiang Cheng arrived at the apartment early in the morning. “Good morning, madam.”

“I’m no longer a member of the Ji family.” Du Jiuyuan felt that it was extremely awkward to hear Jiang Cheng address her like that.

“Madam, this is the design proposal from the wedding company. Kindly confirm your choice. Tomorrow will be the official day of the wedding.” Jiang Cheng ignored Du Jiuyuan’s words. In his opinion, Du Jiuyuan was still in love with CEO Ji.

“Oh right, CEO Ji also said that you can invite any of your friends to the wedding. Here are the invitations..” Jiang Cheng took out a stack of exquisite invitation cards and placed them on the table.
