Jealous of her?
Di Mingjue found it laughable.
The women who pursued her could probably circle the Earth several times over. Would he be jealous of the few, exceptionally superficial men around her?
Di Mingjue dismissively belittled, "Before you speak, you'd best gauge your own capabilities. Don't let superficialities cloud your judgment. I don't care how many friends you have, but if reporters capture anything that harms Di Jue Group and Qianqian, I will repay those men tenfold."
In the latter half of his sentence, Di Mingjue gritted his teeth, wishing he could eliminate every eyesore around Jiang Ziyu right at that moment.
The car stopped precisely at the entrance of the Di residence. The driver in front glanced back, his mouth about to open but silenced by the unsettling atmosphere.
Jiang Ziyu felt he was picking a fight for no reason. She unbuckled her seatbelt, preparing to exit.
As her hand touched the door handle, Jiang Ziyu felt Di Mingjue's pull. Turning to scold him, a burst of hot breath suddenly targeted her forehead.
Her bright, lively eyes blinked rapidly, the prominent Adam's apple before her radiating charisma.
Damn it! What was she thinking!
Jiang Ziyu closed her eyes, struggling with displeasure.
"Don't move!" Di Mingjue commanded furiously.
She was like a kitten, a soft bundle before him, igniting a fire within him.
His entire body felt like it was burning. Di Mingjue's fingers, resting on Jiang Ziyu's back, emitted heat. Everywhere his fingers touched, a burning sensation spread.

A partition began to rise from the gap between the back seats and the driver's seat.
The car's space contracted, and Jiang Ziyu's breathing grew rapid, mirroring Di Mingjue's.
No!
Despite the onslaught of desire, the last shred of her rationality allowed her to push away Di Mingjue, who was leaning in.
Her back slammed hard against the car door. Jiang Ziyu's hair tie was snatched away by Di Mingjue as she fled. Her hair disheveled, her face flushed, she walked into the Di residence.
Inside the car, Di Mingjue looked down at the bulge between his legs. His heart churned with anger and anticipation, his palm unknowingly clutching the hair tie tightly.
That night, they lay on the same bed. Though Yu Ze was a buffer between them, neither felt at ease.
Her eyes closed at some point. When she awoke, only Yu Ze remained, waiting by the head of the bed.
"Mommy, are you hungry?" Yu Ze first stretched his neck to kiss Jiang Ziyu's forehead, then worried about her stomach.
Her arm emerged from the covers, and Jiang Ziyu pulled Yu Ze onto the bed beside her. "Are you hungry?"
Yu Ze shook his head. "Daddy and I have already eaten."
"So soon?"
"It's not early anymore. Mommy slept for a long time."
Hearing this, Jiang Ziyu finally realized she should check the time.
Fumbling for her phone, she looked at the time on the screen.
This... it was almost noon.
Jiang Ziyu quickly sat up in bed, looking at the cooled food on the bedside table.
Remembering something, she turned to face Yu Ze. "Didn't your Daddy ask you to call me?"
"Daddy went to the company to work. He said to wait for you to wake up and then take me shopping," Yu Ze relayed Di Mingjue's words.
Today was Saturday, and kindergarten was closed. Considering the child needed companionship, Di Mingjue had intentionally kept Jiang Ziyu, not allowing her to rush to work early.
With a general understanding, Jiang Ziyu quickly got out of bed to wash up. She dressed simply and then headed out with Yu Ze.
For the past few days at the Di residence, Yu Ze had been wearing Qianqian's old clothes. However, boys and girls have different body types and heights, and Qianqian's clothes didn't fit Yu Ze well.
Since there was nothing to do today, Jiang Ziyu decided to take Yu Ze shopping for clothes, and also to pick up some daily necessities for Qianqian and Xiao Ran.
Jiang Ziyu took Yu Ze out, driving them to the mall herself.
"Mommy, will Qianqian and Xiao Ran also come?" Yu Ze looked around.
