The Ye residence was in disarray after the banquet. Ye Ziyu watched the servants clean up the grounds as she walked forward to pick up a standing banner that had been trampled on.
Ye Qianzhi had reviewed several event planning companies for her grand banquet, only finalizing one when time ran out.
Holding the banner, Ye Ziyu struggled to walk upstairs.
The banner was as tall as a person, blocking her view of the stairs ahead. Ye Ziyu carefully watched her footing as she slowly moved upwards.
Ye Jiaxu, in a hurry to go downstairs, looked at the dawdling banner in front of him and impatiently slapped at it, "Get out of the way, I'm in a hurry to go down."
His palm hit the banner, and the force transferred through it to Ye Ziyu's head. She pulled the banner down slightly, her eyes meeting Ye Yubin's displeased expression.
"Picking up a broken banner to bring home?" Ye Jiaxu mocked.
People of standing in the Ye family wouldn't stoop to treating garbage as a treasure. If outsiders saw this, they would think they were neglecting her.
Ye Jiaxu glanced at Ye Ziyu with disdain, "How embarrassing!"
He threw the words at her before pushing her shoulder.
Ye Ziyu looked down at the banner, not wanting the one bearing her likeness to be thrown in the trash.
"I'll help you."
Ye Chenhan, hearing Ye Jiaxu's words from downstairs, looked at Ye Ziyu on the stairs with an embarrassed expression, his heart aching.
In this large household, no one was willing to treat her as a Miss of the Ye family. The servants were indifferent to her, all following Shen Meixiu's arrangements.
Ye Chenhan's long legs carried him to Ye Ziyu's side in a few strides. He took the banner from her hands and tucked it under his arm.
At a height of 1.8 meters, Ye Chenhan easily carried the banner upstairs.
Her room was right in front of them. Ye Chenhan handed it back to her, "If you need help next time, just ask me. I'm usually quite idle and don't mind trouble."
"Okay," Ye Ziyu nodded.
"I'm going back to my room. You must be tired today too, so go back and rest early." Ye Chenhan looked at Ye Ziyu dotingly.
He liked her. Even before she came to the Ye family, he had been looking forward to her arrival. Compared to younger brothers, younger sisters evoked a desire to protect.
Ye Chenhan hummed a tune and easily returned to his room.
Only after he disappeared from her sight did Ye Ziyu take her banner back to her room.
"What is this?" Di Mingjue emerged from the bathroom, his hair damp, his bathrobe open to reveal his abs.
Ye Ziyu's gaze involuntarily fell on Di Mingjue's chest.
Di Mingjue chuckled and deliberately raised his arm, the bathrobe opening further with his movement. He took the banner from Ye Ziyu's hands. Leaning against the wall, he said, "You've worked hard today, go take a bath and relax."
His fingers brushed against her palm, and Ye Ziyu realized he was intentionally seducing her. She averted her gaze, brushed past him, and grabbed her pajamas from the bed.
Di Mingjue returned to the bed, propping himself up on one arm, striking a provocative pose. "I'll wait for you."
A shiver ran down her spine. Ye Ziyu shook her head and fled into the bathroom as if escaping.
Looking at her flushed cheeks in the mirror, Ye Ziyu covered the reddened areas with her hands, "How embarrassing!"
But he had abs!
He was using his abs to tempt her!
Ever since they had confessed their feelings for each other, Ye Ziyu had become greedy for Di Mingjue's body.
Di Mingjue, lying on the bed, stared at the banner. The Ye Ziyu on it was also staring at him. With the banner facing the bed, he felt something was off.
Getting out of bed, Di Mingjue tried several spots before finally placing it next to the vanity.
After washing up, Ye Ziyu emerged from the bathroom, fully dressed.
Di Mingjue seemed to know she was coming out. He waited by the bathroom door. As soon as it opened, he scooped Ye Ziyu up by the waist and hurried to place her on the bed.
