Ji Jingchen said nothing else. He lowered his head and looked a little discouraged. No one knew what he was thinking about.

“Do I need to inform your people?” Li Ruyan said after bandaging his wound and wiping it briefly.

She meant to ask Ji Jingchen’s subordinate to take him back to rest. After all, Ji Jingchen was in his most vulnerable state this time.

“There’s no need. Tell her I’m asleep,” Ji Jingchen replied after thinking for a moment.

Li Ruyan did not go against his wishes and helped Ji Jingchen to the bed. Ji Jingchen did not know if it was due to the effects of the medicine or the smell of Du Jiuyuan on the bed, but he fell asleep as soon as he got onto the bed.

Li Ruyan covered him with a blanket. After confirming that he was asleep, she tiptoed out of the bedroom. Du Jiuyuan was sitting on the sofa. When she heard the bedroom door close, she immediately looked over.

“CEO Ji is fine now, but he needs to stay for the night,” Li Ruyan whispered.

“What’s wrong with him?” Du Jiuyuan stared at the bedroom door, looking haggard.

Li Ruyan contemplated telling Du Jiuyuan the truth, but CEO Ji’s words echoed in her mind. His words were, “Don’t tell her about this. Or else, don’t appear in front of me anymore.”

“CEO Ji won’t hurt you or anyone else. As for what happened, I won’t tell you. You’d better ask CEO Ji himself!” After Li Ruyan finished speaking, she left without looking back.

‘He will only hurt himself. How could he bear to hurt you?’

After Li Ruyan left, Du Jiuyuan gently pushed open the bedroom door. The room was pitch-black, and the potent smell of blood assaulted her nostrils.

Using the weak light from her phone, Du Jiuyuan walked to the bedside. When she saw Ji Jingchen, whose body was stained with blood, she felt indescribably uncomfortable.

‘What is wrong with him?’

Li Ruyan only bandaged Ji Jingchen’s wound without applying any medicine. The wound on his hand was still bleeding, and the bandage was soaked red. Du Jiuyuan turned on the bedside lamp and got up to fetch the medical kit. She carefully bandaged Ji Jingchen again.

Ji Jingchen was probably exhausted. He slept soundly the whole time and did not show any reaction.

That night, Du Jiuyuan slept on the sofa. Just as she was about to close her eyes, she saw Ji Jingchen’s wronged and forbearing look in her mind. Until daybreak, she got up, washed her face, and went to the kitchen to make some food.

Ji Jingchen woke up feeling tired all over. He helped Du Jiuyuan tidy up the room, pushed open the door, and walked out. He was a little stunned when he saw Du Jiuyuan from behind. She was still wearing the same clothes from last night, but her hair was tied up casually. He didn’t know what she was busy with in the kitchen.

There was a meal being cooked in the clay pot on the stove, and it was bubbling with steam. This scene suddenly warmed Ji Jingchen’s heart, and he no longer felt empty.

“Help me set up the table.” Du Jiuyuan noticed him and calmly took out two cutlery sets from the cabinet and handed them to him.

Ji Jingchen took the cutleries, and only then did he notice that the bandage on his hand was gone. Instead, it was replaced by a tourniquet. He was stunned for a moment, but he still placed the cutleries on the dining table.

Du Jiuyuan placed a plate of casserole on the table and went to fetch a few side dishes.

Du Jiuyuan prepared a casserole of porridge and four side dishes. The two of them finished their meal with no interaction. Du Jiuyuan picked up the bowls and chopsticks and then washed them in the kitchen.

Ji Jingchen’s heart did not stop racing during this meal. He was in an unprecedented panic. Du Jiuyuan washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen. Then, she walked over with a medical kit.

“Yuanyuan…” Ji Jingchen was about to speak when Du Jiuyuan interrupted him.

“Stop talking.” Du Jiuyuan squatted in front of him, grabbed his hand, and changed the dressing to treat his wound.

Du Jiuyuan tore off the wound patch she had applied to him last night, sterilized it with cotton laced with alcohol, used some medicine, and finally put on a new wound patch.

Ji Jingchen’s clothes were dirty and were full of dried blood. Two buttons on his shirt were unclasped, revealing his collarbone vaguely, and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbow.

Du Jiuyuan couldn’t help but sigh when she saw a scar on his arm. Ji Jingchen’s efforts to save Du Jiuyuan in the past had caused the scar. It might permanently remain with him for the rest of his life.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore,” Ji Jingchen suddenly said.

He had been paying full attention to Du Jiuyuan. Thus, he understood what she was currently feeling.

“Who cares if you’re in pain or not?” Du Jiuyuan rolled her eyes at him fiercely. Her tone was indifferent.

Du Jiuyuan’s entire body was exuding an air of anger. Even a slow-witted person could sense it.

“I didn’t mean to lose my temper with you last night. I never meant to hurt you..” Ji Jingchen hesitated for a long time before he spoke.
