Faced with her brother, whom she had met only a few hours ago and shared blood with, Ye Ziyu didn't know how to voice her requests and dissatisfaction.
She could understand that Ye Chenhan was trying to entertain the children, but his actions had put them in danger.
The words reached her lips, but Ye Ziyu swallowed them back.
"Are you angry?" Ye Chenhan saw what Ye Ziyu's shifting expressions meant. He had intended to bond with them, but he had made a mistake.
Ye Ziyu stopped, pulling Yuzawa's hand, and looked up at Ye Chenhan's dejected face. "No, no."
"Really?" Ye Chenhan became happy, then drooped again, thinking of something.
Ye Ziyu didn't understand why Ye Chenhan was so afraid of her being unhappy, but after their conversation, she was truly over it.
"Really, I'm not angry."
With these words, Ye Chenhan immediately smiled. He moved closer to Jiang Ziyu and took out a jewelry box from his pocket. "I only thought of the children this morning, not of you. This is from your brother, and I hope you like it."
The jewelry box was placed in her hand, and Jiang Ziyu looked at Di Mingjue next to her with embarrassment.
This was the first gift she had ever received from a relative. Her entire arm trembled.
"Open it and see if you like it," Ye Chenhan urged.
Di Mingjue walked over and replied for Ye Ziyu, "Thank you."
"Brother-in-law gets one too." Ye Chenhan's pocket was like Doraemon's, able to produce whatever he wanted.
Looking at the box in his hand, Di Mingjue was also troubled.
The other party was too enthusiastic; he couldn't handle it.
Amidst the urging, he opened the box. Inside were a necklace and a tie.
"Do you like it?" Ye Chenhan asked. "I put a lot of thought into choosing these."
With the latter part of his sentence, it would be impolite to say no, even if she didn't like them.
Di Mingjue closed the lid and said, "I like it. You've spent too much."
"It's no expense to buy a gift for my brother-in-law," Ye Chenhan said familiarly, draping an arm around Di Mingjue's shoulder.
As soon as his arm was removed, Di Mingjue's body stiffened. Ye Ziyu saw this and wanted to laugh but felt it was inappropriate.
Deciding to come to Sijiucheng didn't seem like a bad thing after all.
Ye Chenhan led Di Mingjue to the sofa, having many things he wanted to discuss with him.
He had known beforehand that his sister, who had been away for many years, had married into the Di family in the capital. He never expected Di Mingjue to abandon everything in the capital for her and start anew in Sijiucheng.
He had overheard Ye Qianzhi on the phone, talking about helping Di Mingjue establish connections in Sijiucheng to start a company.
"How did you meet my sister?"
Di Mingjue was being pinned down by Ye Chenhan, and he awkwardly placed a hand between them to create a barrier.
Ye Chenhan, like a curious child, asked another question before the first was answered, "Who fell in love with whom first? Did you pursue her?"
"Brother." Ye Ziyu had been gathering her thoughts for a long time, and the simple word was hard to utter.
Ye Chenhan's face lit up with joy, and he immediately released Di Mingjue. "Hey, I'm here."
"Don't you have to go to the company like other brothers?" Jiang Ziyu changed the subject.
Touching upon a sensitive topic for Ye Chenhan, he sat up awkwardly and reached for an orange from the fruit platter, playing with it in his hand.
There was a common trait among the spoiled second-generation heirs. The first time Ye Ziyu saw Ye Chenhan, she knew he was usually idle and didn't care about the Ye family's business.
Seeing his inability to speak, Ye Ziyu changed the subject again. "Are your brothers very busy every day?"
The Ye family was vast and their century-old foundation was something even Di Jue Group could not compare with. This was also why Ye Qianzhi felt Ye Ziyu would suffer if she stayed with the Di family.
"They'll be back tonight," Ye Chenhan replied.
