Jiang Ziyu was happily taking pictures when a man appeared in her shot. She blankly lowered her phone, looking at the man before her with a similar appearance.
"Hello," the man said politely to Jiang Ziyu.
Seeing he had something to say, Jiang Ziyu got off the lounge chair. "Hello."
"You speak Chinese?" the man asked, clearly surprised.
Jiang Ziyu nodded and politely inquired, "Is there something I can help you with?"
"I just arrived here on a business trip today and accidentally lost my phone. I saw you and thought I'd try borrowing your phone," the man said, quickly pulling out a business card from his pocket and handing it to Jiang Ziyu. "This is my business card. Don't worry, I'm not a scammer."
[Gu Corporation, Gu Xiuyu.]
Thinking that it was a stranger from her home country and a simple act of kindness to help someone in need, Jiang Ziyu generously handed her phone to the man.
"Thank you," Gu Xiuyu said, taking the phone with both hands and turning slightly to dial.
The other person quickly answered, and he briefly explained the situation. Soon, he returned the phone to Jiang Ziyu after finishing his call.
"Thank you. If there's an opportunity later, I'll treat you to a meal."
Taking back her phone, Jiang Ziyu politely declined his repeated thanks. "No need, it was just a small favor."
"I believe we'll meet again if fate allows. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb your enjoyment of the scenery," Gu Xiuyu said and then left.
He arrived suddenly and left just as abruptly. Jiang Ziyu smiled helplessly as she watched his retreating back.
"Who are you looking at?" Di Mingjue walked over with a stern face, clearly displeased.
He had been playing volleyball with the children and turned to see Jiang Ziyu chatting animatedly with another man. Before he could even approach, the man had already left.
Facing the sour aura emanating from him, Jiang Ziyu pinched her nose and deliberately asked, "Why has the sea suddenly become sour?"
Realizing he was being teased, Di Mingjue possessively pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips.
After the kiss, he sternly commanded Jiang Ziyu, "When I'm not around, you are not allowed to chat with others for extended periods, nor are you to pay attention to them."
"A unilateral clause? Then what about you looking at beautiful women behind my back?" Jiang Ziyu retorted.
"In my eyes, you are like a heavenly fairy; no one can compare to your beauty. I wouldn't be foolish enough to ignore my beautiful wife and look at those with fake faces," Di Mingjue said, disparaging all other women without hesitation.
Hearing his words, Jiang Ziyu was speechless, unable to say anything more teasing.
She willingly conceded!
With this little interlude, Di Mingjue lost the mood to play with the children. Coincidentally, the children were also tired. They ran to them with their balls, clamoring that they were thirsty and hungry.
There was a restaurant ahead. Jiang Ziyu glanced at the time and felt it was about right, so she suggested taking the children to eat.
The hotel was located within the scenic area, with various restaurants surrounding it.
"I want to eat Chinese food!" Xiao Ran exclaimed, pointing at a Sichuan restaurant in front of them.
Jiang Ziyu liked spicy food and often took the children to eat Sichuan cuisine when they were abroad. Since moving to the Di family, she hadn't had spicy food for a long time.
She looked at the chili peppers drawn on the restaurant's facade, her mouth watering.
"Can Qianqian eat spicy food?" Jiang Ziyu suddenly thought.
The Di family's usual diet was light, and spicy food might be something Qianqian and Di Mingjue couldn't handle.
Xiao Ran and Yu Ze looked at Qianqian expectantly, as if the decision rested entirely in her hands.
Among the surrounding restaurants, the Sichuan restaurant before them had the best business. People were coming and going, accompanied by the calls of the waiters, making it exceptionally lively.
"Yes, I can!" Qianqian declared confidently to Jiang Ziyu.
"Then let's eat Sichuan food." Di Mingjue, without waiting for Jiang Ziyu to ask his opinion again, led the children directly into the restaurant.
