"Gone back?" Di Mingjue paced back and forth, waving his hands. He kept repeating the same sentence, then let out a mocking laugh, "She just went back like that!"
His anger hadn't subsided, and she hadn't offered many explanations before impatiently leaving.
If the one who was angry was Gu Xiuyu, would she have left as coolly as she did now?
Di Mingjue, unwilling to accept this, took out his phone and found Ye Ziyu's number. However, he didn't want to call.
As the elevator reached the ground floor, Ye Ziyu took out her phone, which was ringing with a pleasant melody.
"Assistant Shen, is something wrong?"
In the office, the phone was placed on the desk on speakerphone. Di Mingjue perked up his ears and leaned in next to it.
Under pressure, Shen Lin stammered, "Madam, Mr. Di has fainted."
"How could he faint?" Ye Ziyu asked calmly.
Shen Lin looked at Di Mingjue, who was perfectly fine.
Di Mingjue wanted Ye Ziyu to come up, but his pride prevented him from backing down. Finally, he came up with this idea.
"Mr. Di is sick. He hasn't had a fever since this morning," Shen Lin said. "Perhaps he fainted just now out of urgency."
Sick?
Ye Ziyu recalled him sneezing several times that morning.
"Did you call an ambulance? I'm coming up now. Try not to touch him."
She turned and went back into the elevator.
Listening to the sound of the elevator, Di Mingjue instructed Shen Lin to wait outside the door. He then lay on the ground to wait for Ye Ziyu.
Returning to the top floor, Ye Ziyu saw Shen Lin, who wasn't inside taking care of Di Mingjue. "Why are you out here?"
"Madam, please go in quickly and check on him," Shen Lin urged.
Concerned about Di Mingjue, Ye Ziyu didn't dare to linger. She pushed open the door and saw Di Mingjue lying on the floor, unconscious.
When she first heard from Shen Lin, she thought he was deliberately lying to her.
Ye Ziyu went up to him and knelt on one knee. "Mingjue?"
Before her voice had completely faded, Ye Ziyu was held tightly in his strong arms. Listening to his pounding heart, she realized his fainting was fake.
She tried to get up, resisting, but her body was held tightly by Di Mingjue. Ye Ziyu, angry, patted his chest. "Weren't you ignoring me? Why are you holding me so tight now?"
He had almost hit her face with the door just now!
Di Mingjue, breathing in her scent, greedily pressed her against him. "You can't leave me!"
"You were the one who pushed me away," Ye Ziyu retorted.
From beginning to end, she had never intended to leave, but he wouldn't listen to her explanations and treated her coldly.
Sensing Ye Ziyu's distress, Di Mingjue kissed her forehead. "I was jealous. When I saw that photo and learned you were eating together, I wished time could rewind and prevent it all from happening. Also, I was sick, and I endured it all morning just to have lunch with you."
At this moment, all of Ye Ziyu's anger dissipated.
She could imagine how Di Mingjue, while sick, had waited for her messages while she was eating with Gu Xiuyu.
She really shouldn't have argued with him just now!
"I'm sorry!"
Even though he had hoped she would be the first to admit fault, Di Mingjue felt no joy when Ye Ziyu said those three words. Instead, his heart ached.
Looking at Ye Ziyu's face, he finally understood. He was completely captivated by her!
Di Mingjue picked Ye Ziyu up, supporting her hips with his hands, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Ye Ziyu wrapped her arms around his neck, reciprocating his kiss.
Overcoming obstacles, Di Mingjue carried her to the desk. Ye Ziyu sat on it, and the two kissed passionately.
Shen Lin, standing by the door and worried that the argument would escalate, lowered his head and stared at his toes when he peeked through the gap in the door.
He had worried unnecessarily!
