The reason for gratitude was Ye Ziyu, but the person being thanked was Ye Qianzhi. Gu Xiuyu had no opportunity to think about Ye Ziyu.
Having refused last time, refusing again would be unreasonable.
"Alright, I'll go to the Ye residence after I finish my company matters this afternoon," Gu Xiuyu said.
Ye Shaoting came to his side, "I'll pick you up then."
"No need," Gu Xiuyu replied. "I have an external engagement this afternoon. President Ye, please rest assured, since I've agreed, I won't break my promise."
"President Gu is joking. Since you said you'd come, you naturally won't go back on your word." Ye Shaoting smiled, and the group walked out of the office.
Ye Ziyu followed behind. As she passed the office door, she stopped.
They continued walking forward. When they reached the elevator, Ye Shaoting and Gu Xiuyu both turned to look at Ye Ziyu who had paused.
"President Gu, I'll escort you down," Ye Shaoting pressed the elevator button.
"Mm." Recalling his gaze, Gu Xiuyu followed Ye Shaoting's footsteps into the elevator.
...
"Why are you here?" Ye Ziyu looked at Di Mingjue on the sofa.
If she remembered correctly, he had left Ye Shaoting's office with Ye Chenhan, and should have been at Di Jue Group by now.
Ye Ziyu placed the documents in her hand on the table, recalling the events of the night. Turning around, she saw Di Mingjue had come beside her, letting his hands rest on her waist.
"All done?" Di Mingjue pressed against Ye Ziyu's cheek.
Ye Ziyu nodded.
"Shall we go to Di Jue Group together?" Di Mingjue gently bit her earlobe.
A tingly, painful sensation struck her heart. Ye Ziyu reached out to push Di Mingjue back.
Not only did she not break free, but her wrist was firmly grasped. After spinning in the confined space, Ye Ziyu found herself facing the affectionate Di Mingjue.
"The children are waiting for us," Di Mingjue's voice was seductive, and his hands on her waist moved upwards and downwards restlessly.
As his fingers touched a sensitive spot, Ye Ziyu wriggled her waist and let out an uncomfortable hum.
His voice entered his ears, and Di Mingjue slumped down. His eyes were filled with love, and he lowered his head to rest on Ye Ziyu's shoulder, his lips brushing against her earlobe as he whispered.
"No!" Ye Ziyu's voice softened, and the sound made her feel shy herself.
With the atmosphere at this point, how could it not continue?
Di Mingjue pressed his knee against Ye Ziyu's, leading her to fall onto the sofa. His large body enveloped her beneath him, and Di Mingjue impatiently unbuttoned his collar.
"There's a surveillance camera!" Ye Ziyu pushed against Di Mingjue's chest with both hands.
The camera was connected to Ye Qianzhi's phone, which would make things incredibly awkward.
Di Mingjue glanced back at the surveillance camera in the upper left corner, got up, and picked up a nearby stool.
"What are you doing?" Ye Ziyu watched his actions in confusion.
The stool was placed under the surveillance camera, and Di Mingjue stepped on it to unplug it.
This...
Ye Ziyu looked at Di Mingjue's eyes, a mixture of triumph and desire, and sensed a hint of danger.
"Continue?" Di Mingjue brushed off invisible dust from his palms and strode towards Ye Ziyu.
Her bones ached faintly. Ye Ziyu reached out to stop Di Mingjue from getting closer, "No, let's continue tonight."
"What needs to be done now should be done now." Di Mingjue directly removed his tie, grabbed Ye Ziyu's restless hands in front of him, pressed his knees against hers, bent down, and pinned her on top of him.
Ye Ziyu was like a fish unable to move on a chopping board, her restrained body left with no choice but to endure.
Di Mingjue affectionately caressed her face, not forgetting to whisper into her ear, "Don't be nervous, relax."
The door seemed to be unlocked!
Just as she thought this, footsteps and voices came from outside the door.
"You should inform Dad beforehand, in case he goes out with old friends tonight," Ye Chenhan said, twisting the doorknob.
