CEO Wants To Marry Me After Divorce

Chapter 1607. Not a precedent

This solemn apology didn’t seem to mean much to the young man.

His eyes slightly closed, he appeared lost in thought, with his clear pupils gradually deepening at this moment.

Ji Yuchen didn’t know if she could win back even the slightest bit of a chance this time, her heart filled with unspeakable apprehension and anticipation.

The next second, her lower jaw was gripped hard by a sudden force, tightening bit by bit.

Her eyes were forced to look directly into the young man’s, his voice cold and light, asking, "Why did you treat Qiao Xu that way?"

He didn’t seem to be questioning her; it was more like he was admonishing a child who had done something wrong.

For a moment, Ji Yuchen’s eyes were lost in thought, she was also asking herself – why?

Despite the risk of being discovered by the young man, she couldn’t suppress the unwillingness in her heart to deal with Qiao Xu.

As she looked at the handsome face close to her, such an ambiguous distance should have made her blush and her heart beat faster. However, her heart was indeed racing, not because of embarrassment, but because of fear.

Fear of being driven away by him, and even more so, fear of him discovering the emotions deep in her heart that she was ashamed to reveal.

She instinctively wanted to avoid the young man’s gaze, but he didn’t oblige. The force that held her lower jaw didn’t waver in the slightest.

He repeated the question again lightly, "Why?"

Ji Yuchen couldn’t answer, and she didn’t know how to respond without upsetting the young man.

The next second, the young man sneered and laughed. This laughter was astonishing and made one’s heart skip a beat.

Then, he said something that made Ji Yuchen’s entire body go weak –

"Do you like me?"

Ji Yuchen wanted to control the panic in her heart, but her suddenly raised eyes told the young man that he had guessed her thoughts.

"No..."

She instinctively wanted to defend herself, but her open mouth appeared pale and powerless.

"So, you’re jealous that I chose Qiao Xu instead of you, right?"

The young man’s voice was still languid and nonchalant, but Ji Yuchen was completely disheveled.

And this unease, at this moment, uncontrollably displayed itself in front of the young man.

There was laughter in the depths of the young man’s eyes. This smile was mocking and disdainful, ridiculing her overconfidence and wishful thinking.

Ji Yuchen felt heartache and even more fear.

The young man’s gaze was like a searchlight, exposing her insignificant innermost thoughts, leaving her nowhere to hide.

"Boss... I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again. Please don’t kick me out."

More excuses couldn’t compare to directly admitting her wrong to the young man.

She knew the young man too well; he didn’t tolerate others arguing for something he’d decided, so she’d better just admit it outright.

"Boss, I... I... I’ll drink it... Don’t kick me out, okay?"

She was so afraid of being chased away by the young man that her fear outweighed death itself.

He was the only one who acknowledged her. If even he were to chase her away...

She couldn’t even bear to imagine how terrifying the feeling of not being acknowledged by anyone would be. It was worse than death.

At this moment, the force holding her jaw loosened slowly.

Just as she mustered the courage to drink the reagent the young man had previously told her to, she heard him say:

"This is the last exception."
