Summary
Du Jiuyuan found herself buried in the tomb of love for three long years. Eventually, her heart turned as lifeless as ashes, prompting her to abandon the pursuit of love and instead focus on building a successful career as an independent woman. But what was happening with her ex-husband? He used to be a mere phantom, appearing only once every few months. Why was he suddenly reappearing in her life? Whenever she discussed collaborations with others, he would whisper from behind, “Yuan Yuan, this person is unreliable. Let me invest on your behalf, okay?” And in times of conflict, he would support her from the shadows, assuring her, “Yuan Yuan, don’t be afraid. Remember, your husband is Ji Jinchen. Let me handle it.”
Du Jiuyuan was left speechless. “…”
It’s important to note that it was her ex-husband who initiated the divorce. One day, when a male colleague offered to walk her home after a meal, Ji Jinchen caught sight of them. He cornered her against a wall, his voice low and questioning. “Don’t be with others, or else… I will lose my mind.”
As time went on, Du Jiuyuan ascended to the pinnacle of her career, attracting numerous admirers. One suitor presented her with a bouquet of roses, and the next day, her office was transformed into a floral paradise. Other suitors gifted her with delectable desserts that required long queues to obtain. Lo and behold, the following day, her office was overflowing with a multitude of desserts. Some suitors even went so far as to gift her a pet… Du Jiuyuan was on the verge of madness. “Ji Jinchen, if you dare inundate me with a house full of pets, I’ll wage war against you!”
Ji Jinchen spoke up, his voice tinged with remorse. “Jiuyuan, please forgive my foolishness for failing to recognize your grievances. But you must believe me, from the moment I married you, divorce was never in my thoughts.”
Du Jiuyuan realized that the man she had loved for seven years was not an unfeeling stone, but rather a passionate heart hidden within a stone’s exterior.
