A gentle palm rested on her waist, and Jiang Ziyu was pulled close by Di Mingjue, appearing affectionately before the reporters.
Bathed in the glare of camera flashes, Di Mingjue, upon the complete conclusion of the press conference, eagerly brought Jiang Ziyu back to their home.
His heart was now entirely focused on his wife and children and the warmth of their home; he had no desire to pay attention to anything else.
Upon returning, the three children were sprawled all over the sofa. Toys were scattered everywhere on the floor, suggesting they had played until exhaustion and fallen asleep.
"I'll get blankets," Jiang Ziyu said, heading upstairs.
Her head was bowed, her body tilted, her posture clearly indicating discomfort.
Di Mingjue stopped Jiang Ziyu, carefully picking up Qianqian first. "You go tidy up the bed."
"Okay." Seeing this, Jiang Ziyu quickly moved her legs.
She first went into the bedroom, pulled the four corners of the quilt, then lifted one corner, waiting for Di Mingjue to place Qianqian down.
They repeated the same action three times. After seeing all three children settled in bed, Jiang Ziyu leaned tiredly against the sofa.
"So tired!"
"I'll massage your shoulders."
Di Mingjue moved behind her, naturally placing his hands on her shoulders.
Enjoying the service, Jiang Ziyu began to issue commands, "A little more to the left, yes, a bit higher. Good, right there."
Di Mingjue smiled, gradually increasing the pressure in his hands.
Tilting her shoulder to the side, Jiang Ziyu cried out, trying to dodge, "It hurts~"
The force was too uneven, and she was instantly pulled out of her comfortable state.
Jiang Ziyu turned her head, looking indignantly at the smiling Di Mingjue, and grabbed his hand, accusing him, "You did that on purpose!"
"It hurt, let me rub it for you." Di Mingjue lifted a leg, naturally crossing from a lower position to in front of her, and pulled Jiang Ziyu into his embrace.
What was meant by rubbing was clearly an attempt to take advantage.
The two fell onto the sofa. Di Mingjue kissed Jiang Ziyu's lips, then held her gently, stroking the hair that had fallen across her shoulders.
...
Di Residence.
After being enraged that afternoon, Di Jianhan had been lying in bed, utterly dejected. The elderly matriarch, having learned of the situation from the servants, specifically went upstairs to check on him.
The butler pushed open the door. Lu Sisi was leaning against the bedside table, feeding Di Jianhan water.
"Why are you suddenly ill?" the old lady asked, sitting down by the bed.
Di Jianhan's complexion was poor, accompanied by a low mood. When words of concern were offered, he simply had no mood to respond.
Lu Sisi placed the cup aside and turned to respond proactively to the old lady, "Grandma, Uncle is just too anxious. His blood pressure is a little high, but it's nothing serious. Don't worry."
"As long as you're alright," the old lady nodded, her gaze returning to Di Jianhan. Her lips moved, wanting to say something but unable to.
The room suddenly fell silent. Lu Sisi glanced at Di Jianhan beside her. If he remained silent, the old lady would leave, and the opportunity would be lost.
His eyes seemed to communicate. Di Jianhan propped himself up with his waist and sighed.
This sigh made the old lady, who was about to leave, pause.
"Do you have something to say?"
"Mom, I really can't manage the company anymore. Please go and find Mingjue, ask him to come back."
The old lady's attitude remained unchanged; she would not interfere in the affairs between father and son.
"What good would it do if he came back? You insisted he divorce Ziyu, and he would still leave after a couple of days," the old lady said sarcastically.
To forgo a happy life and instead cause turmoil within the family, disturbing the peace of the entire household. Now that you know regret, it's too late.
Di Jianhan reached out and grabbed the old lady's arm. "Mom, I know I was wrong. Don't worry, if Mingjue is willing to come back this time, I won't force him to marry Sisi."
"Really?"
"I promise."
Di Jianhan pushed Lu Sisi's shoulder,
