This is bad!
Ye Ziyu almost forgot the most important thing. Having stood up Di Mingjue had already made him unhappy, and now she had physical contact with Gu Xiuyu, someone Di Mingjue was most sensitive about.
She couldn't imagine what Di Mingjue would do after seeing the photos online.
"You should really think about how to explain yourself!" Ye Chenhan said, looking like he was enjoying a good show.
He had seen how infatuated Di Mingjue was. Ye Ziyu's physical contact with Gu Xiuyu this time would undoubtedly hurt him deeply.
Ye Ziyu opened her phone and looked at Di Mingjue's chat, which had no unread messages.
Had he not seen it yet?
Ye Ziyu picked up her jacket, left Ye Chenhan, and rushed out of the company.
She arrived at Di Jue Group and was stopped by the receptionist in the lobby downstairs.
"Miss Ye, President Di is not seeing any guests today."
Guests?
Ye Ziyu looked at the hesitant receptionist.
It seemed he had already seen it.
Knowing Di Mingjue's temperament, Ye Ziyu didn't make things difficult for her. She turned and left the building, standing downstairs to call Di Mingjue.
The line was constantly busy, and Ye Ziyu's call couldn't get through.
Watching the call disconnect, she tilted her head back towards the sun, looking up at the top floor.
Her phone rang, and she excitedly slid to answer.
"Mingjue!"
"Miss Ye, it's me."
Ye Ziyu recognized the voice on the other end and realized she had made a mistake. Her raised excitement subsided. "Oh, it's President Gu. Is there something you need?"
"After I returned to the company, I saw the news online. I don't know who published this, but don't worry, I'll find that person as soon as possible." Gu Xiuyu had called specifically to explain.
He was very angry after seeing the online comments and couldn't stand those who were unaware of the situation and were slandering Ye Ziyu.
"Thank you for your trouble, President Gu."
"Do you need me to help explain to Mr. Di?"
Explain to him?
Forget it! He was so angry right now that he wouldn't even talk to her, let alone him. If the two of them met, Di Mingjue might not be able to control himself and would teach him a lesson.
"He trusts me," Ye Ziyu said.
Gu Xiuyu gave an awkward laugh and ended the call.
Ye Ziyu put down her phone and turned around, only to see Di Mingjue standing behind her, who had appeared at some point.
"When did you get here?"
"Why didn't you tell me you were having lunch with Gu Xiuyu at noon?"
More than the online news, Di Mingjue was angrier about Ye Ziyu's deliberate concealment from him. He wanted to teach her a lesson and deliberately had his subordinates block her from coming up.
But when he heard an employee tell him that Ye Ziyu turned around and left after hearing her words, he was afraid Ye Ziyu would be angry and shamelessly chased after her.
As soon as he came out, he saw Ye Ziyu on the phone. As he approached, he heard her say "President Gu."
It turned out he had been overthinking things all along. He had been played like a clown.
Ye Ziyu saw his angry expression and stepped forward, taking his hand.
Di Mingjue was still angry and flung Ye Ziyu's hand away, "Explain yourself properly!"
"I only hid it from you because I was afraid you would be angry," Ye Ziyu said.
"Hmph!" Di Mingjue scoffed.
If she were truly afraid, she wouldn't have had lunch with him and then concealed it.
The more she explained, the angrier Di Mingjue became.
Ye Ziyu shamelessly threw herself forward and hugged his waist, her cheek pressed tightly against his chest. No matter how Di Mingjue tried to pull away, she wouldn't let go. "Don't be angry. I couldn't refuse to have lunch with him. That photo was also an accident. A bicycle almost hit me at the time, and he pulled me away in a moment of panic. He just used a bit too much force and pulled me too far."
"Are you defending him?" Di Mingjue's voice was like ice from a cold storage, chilling and hurtful.
