"I believe you," Ye Ziyu replied to Di Mingjue with a smile.
As his other half, how could she not understand what he was thinking?
Ye Ziyu watched the people coming and going around her and said to Di Mingjue, "You should go get busy. See you after work."
"Kiss me," Di Mingjue said, bending over and tilting his head to offer his left cheek.
Glancing left and right, Ye Ziyu quickly lowered her head and kissed him.
"Okay, hurry back!"
"I'll pick you up after work."
"Alright."
Ye Ziyu watched Di Mingjue walk to the other side of the crosswalk until he completely disappeared into the crowd. Only then did she turn to leave.
Upon returning to the company, Ye Ziyu's first stop was Ye Shaoting's office.
"Come in!"
After knocking, she pushed open the door upon hearing the response from inside.
Ye Shaoting's gaze shifted from the documents in front of him to Ye Ziyu. "Something to say?"
Closing the door, Ye Ziyu walked to the desk and stopped. Facing Ye Shaoting's puzzled look, she paused for a moment before speaking, "Brother, do you have some misunderstanding about Mingjue?"
He removed his hands from the desktop and leaned back in his chair, replying with interest, "He said that?"
They didn't know the specific reasons, but Ye Ziyu could sense Ye Shaoting's unfriendly attitude towards Di Mingjue.
Worried about misunderstandings creating negative perceptions of each other, Ye Ziyu explained, "Mingjue might be overthinking. He's also worried that if he doesn't do well in some matters, you might have a prejudiced view of him."
"We did have a talk downstairs today, and it was me educating him," Ye Shaoting brought up the matter downstairs himself.
She had heard some of it from Di Mingjue just now, but she wanted to understand Ye Shaoting's thoughts. She moved a chair in front of her and sat down, listening attentively.
"Considering your status, him coming in and out of Ye's like he's window shopping every day would lead to gossip behind our backs among other employees. So, when I saw him at the company today, I told him my thoughts. Perhaps Mingjue is so preoccupied with you that he feels uncomfortable when he doesn't see you, making it difficult for him to accept my advice." xxs1
The explanation in his words, however, made Ye Ziyu feel that Ye Shaoting looked down on Di Mingjue, as if he were a man who couldn't be without a woman, with only love in his eyes.
Was she misunderstanding?
Ye Ziyu looked up at Ye Shaoting. He looked at her with sincerity, as if he were genuinely concerned that their public displays of affection might cause negative repercussions.
"Please explain this to him when you go back. We're all family, don't let shyness lead to misunderstandings," Ye Shaoting said.
"Okay," Ye Ziyu nodded in agreement.
The doubts in her heart vanished with a few words of explanation, but other doubts and thoughts arose.
They were a legally married couple protected by law. If he came to see her at the company, why would it cause negative repercussions?
Emerging from Ye Shaoting's office, Ye Ziyu stood in the hallway, lost in thought.
What was the point of thinking about all this? She should be thinking about Si Bao's situation.
She had sent people to search for Jiang Feifei's whereabouts, but she was like a rat that had burrowed underground, making her impossible to find. This also meant she couldn't get any leads on Si Bao.
Following the situation Jiang Feifei had described at the time, Ye Ziyu arranged for people to go to the hospital where she had given birth. The doctors from that year had long since resigned, and even some of the leadership in the obstetrics and gynecology department had been completely replaced, from top to bottom.
The only clue they could find was the fake medical record she had created back then to prevent Di Mingjue from snatching the other children. Now, it seemed her actions back then had truly backfired.
"What are you thinking about, so engrossed?" Ye Chenhan appeared before Ye Ziyu like a phantom, floating lightly.
A slap on her shoulder startled her entire body, making her tremble.
