"Mm-hmm," Di Mingjue nodded.
Jiang Ziyu rubbed her face and then looked down at her open palm. Her palm was perfectly clean, with no dirt at all.
"Are you sure?"
"Extend it over here, and I'll wipe it off for you."
Seeing Di Mingjue's conviction, Jiang Ziyu, half-believing, half-doubting, stretched her face towards him. As she felt his face approach, she suddenly felt like she was being tricked.
*Smack!*
Di Mingjue kissed Jiang Ziyu on the cheek.
"You!" Jiang Ziyu didn't know what to say. She pushed his chest with her hand and turned to look at their three children smiling at her. Annoyed, she reprimanded Di Mingjue, "The children are here!"
Why was he acting like he was possessed, kissing her whenever they were together?
Di Mingjue sat up straight, his expression serious, and looked at the children, "How do you feel about your Mommy and me kissing?"
Xiao Ran, the most energetic, excitedly jumped off his chair, "Support it! Kissing is love, it means Daddy loves Mommy the most."
"Excellent!" Di Mingjue gave Xiao Ran a thumbs-up. "You truly are my good son."
Seeing the two of them ganging up, Jiang Ziyu couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Alright, let this be the last time. Hurry up and eat."
"My wife worked hard to make this. None of you three little ones are allowed to be picky," Di Mingjue warned the children protectively.
Jiang Ziyu no longer bothered with his behavior.
Just as they picked up their chopsticks, an uninvited guest arrived.
Shen Lin looked at the table full of food and nervously glanced at Di Mingjue.
"What is it?" Di Mingjue's displeasure was evident. He had specifically instructed Shen Lin that he would not be busy with work for the next half a month. Unless the sky fell, he was not to be disturbed. He finally had his wife and children with him, and he wanted to make up for lost time and savor the happiness of a family of five.
Shen Lin spoke cautiously, "Mr. Di, someone is spreading information about your personal company online. It's caused an uproar, and reporters are swarming the company building."
"How did they find out?" Di Mingjue asked, his expression grave. His company had been very well-hidden over the years, presenting itself to the outside world as just a small, emerging company. Under the dazzling halos of Di Jue Group and the Jiang Corporation, it was practically inconspicuous. Although he had fully taken over management, he hadn't officially started working yet. How could they have found out?
Shen Lin explained in response to his question, "It was because of Di Jue Group that people began paying attention to you."
Hearing this, Di Mingjue found it understandable. He had been the leader of Di Jue Group for years, and his sudden departure naturally piqued curiosity about the reasons. After some thought, he instructed, "Go back first and tell those reporters that a press conference will be held in a few days. Tell them to stop surrounding the company entrance, or they won't be invited to the press conference."
"Okay."
After Shen Lin left, Jiang Ziyu looked at him with concern. "Do you need any help?"
"Don't worry. Since I've already left the Di family, I'm not afraid of affecting Di Jue Group," Di Mingjue reassured her, picking up his chopsticks and placing food onto her plate.
The meal proceeded relatively smoothly, but after dinner, Di Mingjue went to the study. Jiang Ziyu cleaned up the kitchen and then specifically cut some fruit and brought it upstairs.
"Mingjue."
Di Mingjue was in a video conference, and Jiang Ziyu's voice was heard by everyone on the video call. She walked up to Di Mingjue, placed the fruit platter down, and only then realized that countless eyes were watching her from the video. After a moment of stunned silence, she quickly moved out of the camera's view.
"Why didn't you warn me!" she whispered accusingly. It was a good thing she hadn't done anything too overt, or she and Di Mingjue would be online being discussed by everyone tomorrow.
