A kiss on the cheek wasn't enough to satisfy him. Di Mingjue seized the opportunity when Ye Ziyu wasn't paying attention and kissed her on the cheek.
"Mmm~" Ye Ziyu’s hands pressed against his chest.
Di Mingjue lifted her waist, and Ye Ziyu’s soft body lay flat on the bed. He reached back and pulled the blanket over both of their heads.
After the intimacy, Ye Ziyu was like a puddle of water, lying bonelessly in Di Mingjue's arms.
"If you're tired, don't go to the company," Di Mingjue said, brushing away the damp hair from her forehead.
How could she not go to the company!
Ye Ziyu pushed against his chest, breaking free from his arms around her shoulders. "I have to go."
The projects Ye Shaoting had handed over to her were already piling up like a mountain.
Getting out of bed, Ye Ziyu glanced at her neck in the mirror. It was covered in red marks, a testament to their recent activities.
"Don't do that here next time!" Ye Ziyu rubbed the spot, glaring fiercely at Di Mingjue.
Di Mingjue knelt on the bed, shifting from the head to the foot. Bare-chested, he stood behind Ye Ziyu. His cold fingers touched the hickey on her neck, and he said to Ye Ziyu in the mirror, "This is the outward manifestation of our love."
"How am I supposed to go to work!" Ye Ziyu pushed him away displeased, bending over to sit at the vanity.
Concealer and foundation were laid out before her. Ye Ziyu applied them, gradually covering the red marks.
"I'll drive you to work later," Di Mingjue said, standing by to attend to her.
After a moment’s thought, Ye Ziyu put down the concealer brush and turned to look at him. "You take the children to school today!"
She felt at ease with Lao Hu picking her up, but occasionally they needed to take the children themselves and inquire about their situation at school from the teachers.
Di Mingjue shook his head. "I'll take you first, then them."
A private driver?
Ye Ziyu met his gaze and nodded helplessly.
After getting ready, they left the room. Ye Ziyu looked at the empty dining room.
"Strange, where did everyone go?"
The quiet environment suddenly became noisy. The children's appearance was like stones being thrown into a calm lake.
"Good morning, Mommy and Daddy."
"Mhm, how did you sleep last night?"
"Very well."
The family sat at the dining table.
The servants brought out the food and waited by the table for their instructions.
"They haven't come down yet?" Ye Ziyu asked.
The servant replied, "The master and madam have gone out. The eldest young master and the fourth young master have also gone out."
So early?
Ye Ziyu turned to check the clock on the wall.
"Don't talk while you eat," Di Mingjue said, placing a peeled egg on Ye Ziyu's plate. He spoke sternly to the three children.
The children were somewhat afraid of a serious Di Mingjue and immediately quieted down.
After breakfast, Di Mingjue drove them to work and school.
...
"Daddy, will you pick us up tonight?"
Di Mingjue carefully carried Qianqian out of the car.
He couldn't confirm tonight's schedule yet. Di Mingjue looked at their expectant faces and said, "I can't make it, but Uncle Hu will pick you up."
"Are you very busy?" Qianqian held Di Mingjue's hand.
Since arriving in Sijiu City, they had been seeing less and less of Di Mingjue and Ye Ziyu.
"Be good. Once this busy period is over, we'll spend plenty of time with you," Di Mingjue said, nuzzling Qianqian's hair. He looked at the teachers already waiting at the school entrance. "Hurry inside now, and listen carefully to your teacher."
"Okay, goodbye Daddy!"
Xiao Ran and Yu Ze held Qianqian's hands, and the three of them slowly moved towards the school. Watching them enter the campus under the guidance of the teacher, Di Mingjue finally turned back to the car.
At this moment, the school entrance was crowded with parents dropping off their children, cars parked haphazardly along the roadside. Di Mingjue's car was blocked in front and behind.
Beep! Beep!
The environment was filled with the jarring sound of honking. The car in front wasn't moving, leaving Di Mingjue stuck and unable to move his car out.
