Ye Chenhan, kicked out, stood alone in the hallway, looking at his useless phone. Not giving up, he turned and leaned on Ye Ziyu's door, "Can I borrow your phone?"
"If you don't go back to sleep, I'll cut off your band's sponsorship!" Di Mingjue's warning drifted from inside.
Compared to love, the band was more important. After all, he didn't lack food or clothing, but the band, along with his brothers, needed money to live.
With no sound from outside, Di Mingjue finally returned to bed with relief.
"Is he serious about Yu Xixi?" Ye Ziyu sighed. She had never seen him care about anything else besides the band.
Di Mingjue adjusted his pillow, smoothed Ye Ziyu's hair to the other side, "What does it matter if he's serious? If I remember correctly, Yu Xixi has a crush on Gu Xiuyu. Being a step late in love means no chance."
These words were not just for Ye Chenhan but also for Gu Xiuyu. No matter how he tried to approach Ye Ziyu, it couldn't change the fact that she was married with children, nor could it make her turn to be with him.
Seeing his earnest and serious demeanor, Ye Ziyu disagreed, "Don't speak too definitively."
"What do you mean?" Di Mingjue narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze scanning her face.
Sensing danger, Ye Ziyu clutched the blanket and rolled herself up, "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep."
Trying to escape after stirring up trouble?
Di Mingjue's hand reached under the blanket, precisely grasping Ye Ziyu's soft waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
Her face was met with his hot breath, and Ye Ziyu shyly met Di Mingjue's hazy eyes. She felt his body change, her flushed cheeks burning hotter.
"I'm so tired, let's not..."
Di Mingjue, like a young boy, lowered his head and captured Ye Ziyu's parted lips, swallowing her unfinished words.
The blanket was tossed upwards, pressing against Di Mingjue's back, and clothes were discarded one by one onto the carpet by the bed.
...
Staring at her dark circles, Ye Ziyu yawned as she pushed open the office door.
"You're at the company this early?"
Everyone was at the breakfast table except Ye Chenhan. Ye Ziyu, who hadn't slept well, thought he was still in bed due to the Yu Xixi situation.
Ye Chenhan, holding his phone, was grinning foolishly, showing no trace of the previous day's anxiety.
Taking off her bag and coat, Ye Ziyu curiously approached him, "What's making you so happy?"
Her gaze fell on the black screen of his phone, making Ye Ziyu even more confused about why he was so cheerful.
"Yu Xixi is no longer Gu Xiuyu's assistant!" Ye Chenhan excitedly stood up from his chair and gave Ye Ziyu a big hug with open arms.
He was this happy just because she wasn't an assistant anymore?
Her breathing became difficult from the tight embrace. She struggled to push Ye Chenhan away and quickly asked, "How do you know? Did Gu Xiuyu just come by?"
"Ye Corporation's cooperation with Gu Corporation is no longer handled by Gu Xiuyu. According to gossip, Gu Xiuyu is no longer the CEO of Gu Corporation; Old Master Gu has resumed his position," Ye Chenhan said with excitement.
"That shouldn't be the case!" Ye Ziyu muttered.
Old Master Gu was old. He had specifically called Gu Xiuyu back from abroad to transfer the company to him as soon as he had some say in the business world and to establish his connections.
He had also been doing a good job. Gu Corporation had not encountered any problems under his management; why had his power been suddenly taken back?
Ye Ziyu looked at the daydreaming Ye Chenhan, "Do you know the reason?"
Ye Chenhan shook his head, "I care about news regarding Yu Xixi; I'm too lazy to pay attention to his."
After speaking, he was about to leave when he remembered something and seriously warned Ye Ziyu, "Di Mingjue is a jealous man; you should pay less attention to Gu Xiuyu."
