Ye Chenhan, utterly defeated, released the steering wheel. The thought alone made his heart ache.
He now wished he could announce his relationship with Yu Xixi to the entire world, but Yu Xixi refused, always worried that if they announced their relationship and broke up after only a few days, it would be too embarrassing.
No matter how much Ye Chenhan swore, Yu Xixi remained firm. She wanted to wait until their relationship had lasted a long time and everything was stable before telling others.
Ye Chenhan wasn't afraid of their relationship changing; he was just afraid of Yu Xixi's many suitors, given her beauty.
Seeing his pathetic state, Ye Ziyu couldn't help but lecture him, "Xixi has her worries, and you need to do what you should be doing. You've seen Uncle Yu's temper. You need to get ahead of some things, or your relationship will definitely face obstacles."
The point had been made. Whether he would listen or understand depended entirely on Ye Chenhan himself.
Ye Ziyu urged him to drive back, and the two exchanged no further conversation on the road.
However, Ye Ziyu's reminder that he shouldn't listen to Yu Xixi meant he had to inform Uncle Yu about their relationship first, lest Uncle Yu be displeased with them dating secretly in the future.
Upon returning to the Ye residence, Di Mingjue immediately stepped forward to greet Ye Ziyu.
"I heard that Old Master Gu fell today and you were present? Did you go to the hospital with him?"
Facing Di Mingjue's inquiry, Ye Ziyu nodded in confirmation.
"Why is it that the Gu family is always bothering you, first the younger generation and now the elder?" Di Mingjue was very angry.
He had learned from Shen Lin that afternoon that Old Master Gu had fallen and fainted, and hadn't taken it seriously. He never expected to see Ye Ziyu in the news photos, fussing over Old Master Gu as if she were his daughter.
The thought of Gu Xiuyu's adoring face made him worry that Ye Ziyu's continued contact with the Gu family would make Gu Xiuyu even more unable to let her go.
"Oh, jealous?" Ye Chenhan teased from the side.
The word "jealous" seemed to be branded on Di Mingjue's forehead, and his words dripped with sourness.
Ye Ziyu explained helplessly, "I happened to be at Gu's Corporation at the time. Old Master Gu entered the lobby of Gu's Corporation after I did. I was waiting for the elevator when I heard the sound of him falling and looked out of curiosity. It was a matter of life and death; what was I supposed to do, pretend I hadn't seen it?"
She was speechless at Di Mingjue's tendency to get jealous!
Was he a vinegar jar in his past life? Why was he so sour all the time in this one?
Ye Chenhan laughed even more heartily, watching Ye Ziyu's helplessness. He patted Di Mingjue's shoulder and hooked his neck, acting like a close buddy, "Tone it down a bit. Ziyu is already married to you and has three children. Do you really think she can be snatched away by another man?"
If she could be snatched away, she probably wouldn't have waited until now.
When Ye Ziyu first returned, he had someone investigate her past. She had been alone with two children abroad, with a close male friend by her side. If Ye Ziyu had no feelings for Di Mingjue, that person would have long been rightfully by her side.
Di Mingjue glanced at Ye Chenhan and unceremoniously shook his arm off his shoulder, "Does this concern you?"
His arm dangling by his pant leg, Ye Chenhan snapped back to attention and looked at the haughty Di Mingjue, "Ziyu, I think Gu Xiuyu is a pretty good guy. At least he's gentle and easy to talk to, more suitable for living together than some people."
He had more to say, but Ye Chenhan was ruthlessly kicked by Di Mingjue. Seeing his threatening look, Ye Chenhan dared not tease him further.
If he angered the King of Hell, his life would be difficult. He wasn't foolish!
With a forced smile, Ye Chenhan immediately changed his attitude, "Suddenly I feel sleepy, I'm going up to bed now."
