Chapter 106: My Stepmother Gave This to You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

His calm tone was as though they had just met by chance. He did not lift a finger to help. Du Jiuyuan’s foot was still hurting from being stepped on, so she stood by the car reluctantly.

“It’s not necessary.” As soon as she said that, He Lili and Ye Mubai walked over.

Ji Jingchen turned around and left without saying a word when he saw the two of them walking over.

He Lili asked, “Who’s that man? Was it Ji Jingchen?”

Du Jiuyuan did not answer but only said, “Let’s go back. I’m tired.”

The car stopped at the apartment building. Ye Mubai helped Du Jiuyuan up the stairs and sat down beside the sofa while He Lili poured her a cup of hot water.

“Thank you. You guys should go back early. I’ll be fine. Don’t worry,” Du Jiuyuan said.

“Have a good rest then. The two of us will be leaving first. Good night.” After saying that, the two of them left.

She didn’t know if it was because of the pain in her feet, but she didn’t sleep well. She was always half-awake and had a vague feeling that someone was massaging her ankles. However, because she was too sleepy and couldn’t keep her eyes open, she fell asleep unknowingly.

The next day, Du Jiuyuan woke up and realized nothing was unusual. She thought her illusion last night was a dream and felt that her feet were much better. Without thinking much, she got up and washed up.

After making a simple breakfast, she took a taxi to the office. Ye Mubai saw her and supported her naturally when she entered the office. “Didn’t I tell you to rest?”

“It doesn’t hurt that much anymore. I’m free at home, so I might as well come over and do something.”

Ye Mubai could only helplessly help her to the office. Her feet were inconvenient, so Susu had packed her lunch and carried a bag from the pharmacy.

Du Jiuyuan asked, “Susu, are you feeling unwell?”

“It’s because Mr. Ye hasn’t been sleeping well recently. I bought some medicine to make a medicinal pillow to help him sleep.”

Du Jiuyuan asked, “Is it useful?”

“This method is very useful. Sister Jiuyuan, do you have difficulty falling asleep as well? Do you want me to make one for you?”

Du Jiuyuan thought of Ji Jingchen. “I’ll have to trouble you then.”

“It’s no trouble. It’ll be ready in two or three days.” fre ewebn ovel

Three days later, Su Su brought two pillows. She gave one to Ye Mubai, and the other to Du Jiuyuan.

Du Jiuyuan tried it and found it very comfortable to use, but she didn’t know how to give it to that arrogant man. After thinking for a moment, she called Lu Ziang.

It was snowing heavily in Hong Kong City for the first time. Du Jiuyuan’s legs were almost recovered. She drove to Lu Ziang and asked him to send the pillow over.

“Why don’t you deliver it to him yourself?”

“I don’t want him to think that I still have feelings for him.”

Lu Ziang glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes. “If you don’t have feelings for him, then what are you doing now?”

Du Jiuyuan tilted her head. “I’m just a little concerned about my ex-husband. Don’t overthink it. Just find an excuse to say that your mother made it for him.”

Lu Ziang’s face was numb. “My mother has been dead for many years. My father has already married four wives.”

Du Jiuyuan was silent for a moment. “Then tell him that it was a gift from your stepmother.”

“My stepmother gave a pillow to my friend? Are you sure that it won’t cause a bloodbath if it gets to my father’s ears?”

“…”

Wasn’t it just a pillow to thank him for his help that night? Why did it suddenly become so complicated? Du Jiuyuan’s expression gradually showed impatience, and the way she looked at Lu Ziang became more apparent.

Lu Ziang seemed to have noticed something. “Forget it. I’ll see what I can do.”

Du Jiuyuan’s expression finally turned better. This id*ot was simply asking for a beating!

Lu Ziang went over to look for Ji Jingchen. “Here, this is for you…”

Ji Jingchen took it and lowered his head to look at it. His brows were tightly knitted.

“The medicinal pillow is good for your sleep. I didn’t make it myself. It’s just…” After thinking for a long time, he couldn’t think of a better excuse. “My stepmother gave it to you.”

After saying that, he was afraid that he wouldn’t believe him, so he repeated in a more serious tone, “Yes, it’s a gift from my stepmother.”

Ji Jingchen said, “The pillow was given to you by Du Jiuyuan?”

Lu Ziang felt his vision go black. It was as if he saw that hell was waving at him. He turned around and ran away. Lu Ziang thought that he had been careless in making friends! He wouldn’t help Du Jiuyuan anymore in the future, and he had to pray for his safety.

After Du Jiuyuan sent the pillow back to the studio, she started her busy life again. She still had to prepare for the company’s annual meeting. Although Yuan Hua Studio couldn’t compare to the big companies outside, Du Jiuyuan still got Susu to book a private room in a five-star hotel and gave out thick red packets to everyone. As the company’s boss, Du Jiuyuan couldn’t help but be toasted. freewebnove l.com

Du Jiuyuan drank until her face turned red. Initially, Susu took care of Du Jiuyuan, but she was dragged out of the private room by someone from the company. She didn’t notice that Du Jiuyuan had walked out of the private room.

Du Jiuyuan was supposed to go to the washroom, but she leaned against the wall and only took a few steps when she heard the sound of crying. Her curiosity drove her to look over.

Under the light, a girl in purple pulled on the corner of Ji Jingchen’s shirt and said with a tearful expression, “I know that I’m not good enough for you, and I know that you don’t like me, but I don’t have any other intentions. I just can’t help but want to tell you that I like you..”
