As soon as the door closed, Ye Ziyu immediately dropped her pretense. Had she been too cold just now? He must have worked very hard to make that bowl of noodles. Would he be upset by her words right now?
The more Ye Ziyu speculated, the more regret she felt.
In the adjacent room.
After the noodles were discarded, Di Mingjue returned to the room with the children. The four of them sat on the floor around Qianqian's drawing table.
"If the noodles didn't work, then send flowers. Women like romance, and Mommy is no exception."
"But it's getting dark, and Mommy was just unhappy about the undercooked noodles. Will sending flowers work now?"
"How about tomorrow? Mommy goes to work tomorrow, and Daddy can order flowers to be sent to the company. Then everyone will see, and no one will dare to pursue Mommy."
To appease Ye Ziyu, the children eagerly discussed their next steps.
Sending flowers was a good idea, and choosing tomorrow was not bad!
But what about tonight?
Di Mingjue posed the question, "How should I go back to my room to rest?"
Ye Ziyu would definitely not pay attention to him, and he would also be unable to resist trying to coax her. If he said something wrong, coaxing her back would become even more difficult.
"You sleep with us?" Yuze suggested.
The children's bed could accommodate two people, and Di Mingjue adopted Yuze's suggestion.
Lying in bed at night, they were still discussing how to carry out their plan for tomorrow.
On the other side, Ye Ziyu tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
She had failed his intentions, and he wouldn't even return to the bedroom?
Her thoughts were too heavy. Ye Ziyu irritably pushed the blanket forward and sat up from the bed.
Should she go out and see? Her body had already started to move.
She put on her coat, tiptoed, and opened the door. Ye's residence was completely dark; everyone had already fallen asleep. Worried that Di Mingjue might be sleeping on the living room sofa, she quickened her pace and groped her way to the living room.
It was not as she had expected; the living room was empty. Was he in the children's room?
Never mind, some things would have to wait until daytime.
Returning to her room, Ye Ziyu suppressed the chaotic guesses in her heart and forced herself to fall asleep.
The next day.
Ye Ziyu slept restlessly and woke up early. She saw Di Mingjue downstairs. Surrounded by the children, seeing them laughing and chatting, she felt a sense of being excluded.
"Mommy." Yuze called out.
"Mm." Ye Ziyu's mood was complicated; she didn't know what to say.
After greeting them, she did not approach the children, nor did the children come to her. Even for breakfast, the children asked Di Mingjue for help.
Had he said bad things about her to them last night while sleeping together?
Ye Ziyu eyed Di Mingjue suspiciously, trying to find answers in his body language.
"I'm done eating, I'm going to the company now." Di Mingjue ignored the gaze beside him, put down his chopsticks, and left the dining table.
He felt that Ye Ziyu would not go to work with him, so he did not ask and left Ye's residence alone.
Did they have a fight?
Ye Shaoting at the dining table was particularly curious.
"Ziyu, we'll go to the company together in a moment."
"Okay."
After breakfast, Ye Ziyu and Ye Chenhan both took Ye Shaoting's car to Ye's.
On the way, Ye Shaoting casually asked, "I saw you and Di Mingjue not saying a word this morning. Did you have a fight?"
"Big Brother doesn't know yet, right?" Ye Chenhan quickly replied, "When we were in Haishi, he was stimulated by something and injured Ziyu's arm."
"Is that so?" Ye Shaoting looked at Ye Ziyu.
He hadn't heard about this. He didn't expect his little scheme to be somewhat useful.
Ye Ziyu stopped Ye Chenhan, who was defending her, and further defended Di Mingjue, "No, Fourth Brother misunderstood. We didn't fight, and he didn't hurt me."
