"Mommy~"
"Did I wake you up?"
Xiao Ran sat up in bed. "No, I was waiting for Mommy."
When they were abroad, Ye Ziyu would also come home very late, so Xiao Ran and Yu Ze would wait for her return together.
Ye Ziyu sat by his bed and gently stroked his hair. "Mommy had to work overtime today. Go to sleep quickly, you have school tomorrow."
Waiting was to confirm that Ye Ziyu had returned safely. Since he saw her, Xiao Ran followed her words and lay back into the warm covers.
"Goodnight!"
After tucking in all three children, Ye Ziyu left.
The next day.
After only a few hours of sleep, Di Mingjue got out of bed. He wasn't getting up for breakfast, but rather was afraid that the servants calling them down for breakfast would wake up Ye Ziyu, who was still sound asleep.
He yawned and walked downstairs, not feeling well.
Suddenly, something collided with his back, and his body swayed forward unstably.
"You're too weak!" exclaimed Ye Chenhan, the culprit, from behind.
Weak?
He would be weak!
Di Mingjue felt utterly humiliated. His murderous gaze fell on Ye Chenhan.
"It was an accident!" Ye Chenhan quickly admitted his mistake. "If I had known you were so weak, I would have been gentler."
Still not realizing the problem, his quiet muttering completely infuriated Di Mingjue's male pride.
His neck was suddenly grabbed, and Ye Chenhan let out a painful howl.
"What are you doing?" Ye Shaoting came downstairs.
Ye Chenhan turned his head with difficulty. "He's trying to kill me!"
His words reached Ye Shaoting's ears. He looked at the hand on Ye Chenhan's neck. With a cold expression, he walked over and pulled Di Mingjue's arm away.
The force was so great that Ye Chenhan's neck felt it. He couldn't help but tease, "Big Brother, I was just joking. I pushed Mingjue first, and almost knocked him over. He's just playing with me."
Even as an assassin, would he be slow enough to have time to call for help? Ye Shaoting's seriousness made one suspect he had a personal grudge against Di Mingjue.
"Mistakes are unavoidable, so be careful," Ye Shaoting reminded him with a serious look.
His words could 'kill,' let alone his physical actions.
Di Mingjue looked at Ye Shaoting suspiciously.
"Where's Dad? Hasn't he come down yet?"
"No, maybe he's in the courtyard."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qianzhi walked in from outside. Although the three of them were standing together, his gaze fell only on Di Mingjue.
"Mingjue, when did you get back last night?"
Di Mingjue replied as he came down, "Around one o'clock."
Calculating the time, Ye Qianzhi looked displeasedly at Ye Shaoting. "Is the company very busy lately?"
"Yes, there are projects that Yubin and Jiaxu couldn't finish that need someone to take over," Ye Shaoting explained.
Not all of these projects were handed over to Ye Ziyu; he had also taken on some of them.
Since the people involved had been sent abroad and to branch companies, there was no reason to have them return in just a few days.
Ye Qianzhi turned to Ye Chenhan, who had minimized his presence, and asked, "What about you? What have you been doing at the company recently?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chenhan felt a surge of joy. Thanks to Ye Shaoting, it wouldn't be difficult for him to explain.
"My abilities are not as good as Ziyu's, so I can't take over the projects of my second and third brothers. Big Brother gave me some small projects."
"As a member of the Ye family, there is no such thing as lacking ability. You need to improve your skills quickly and not hide behind others like a turtle, waiting for them to do everything for you," Ye Qianzhi commanded.
Ye Chenhan understood Ye Qianzhi's intention. It was undoubtedly because he was concerned about Ye Ziyu and didn't want her to work day and night for the company. Recalling the pile of documents in front of her yesterday, he responded to Ye Qianzhi with unprecedented seriousness.
