Ye Ziyu watched Ye Chenhan remain in the pose Yu Xixi had left him in and took out her phone to take a picture of him.
*Click!*
Ye Chenhan still didn't react.
It was over; he was completely smitten!
Ye Ziyu looked at Ye Chenhan with sympathy and sent the photo to Di Mingjue.
[What?]
Upon seeing the message from Di Mingjue, Ye Ziyu recounted the recent events to him.
As soon as the message was sent, Di Mingjue's call came through.
"You're saying Yu Xixi likes Gu Xiuyu?" Di Mingjue's first reaction upon seeing the message was that he would have one less rival to bother Ye Ziyu.
His resonant voice drifted from the earpiece. Fearing Ye Chenhan might hear and feel even worse, Ye Ziyu took her phone and walked out of the office past him.
Standing in the hallway, ensuring she wouldn't hurt Ye Chenhan's already wounded heart, Ye Ziyu finally replied, "Yes, perhaps they met last night, and Yu Xixi fell in love with Gu Xiuyu at first sight. By the way, I found a dance teacher for Qianqian."
"Who?" Di Mingjue asked.
"Yu Xixi," Ye Ziyu explained. "She was a member of a ballet troupe when she was abroad."
Yu Xixi likes Gu Xiuyu, and Gu Xiuyu is interested in Ye Ziyu. Now she's also going to be Qianqian's dance teacher. Seeing these interwoven relationships, Di Mingjue disapproved. "Find someone else."
"Why?" Ye Ziyu asked, not understanding. "She's excellent, and besides, I can't find anyone more suitable right now."
"I'll handle contacting a dance teacher for Qianqian. You find someone and politely refuse Yu Xixi," Di Mingjue insisted.
After finally getting rid of Gu Xiuyu, she was now actively involving his admirer. Wasn't this indirectly linking her back to Gu Xiuyu?
The more he thought about it, the more the thorn in Di Mingjue's heart pricked him. He said sternly to Ye Ziyu, "Think about it, if she's busy chasing Gu Xiuyu, how will she have the energy for Qianqian? Our Qianqian is destined to be a dancer, don't let unimportant people dampen her enthusiasm."
Hearing these words, Ye Ziyu felt they made sense.
Since Yu Xixi had become Gu Xiuyu's assistant, even though her dance background was professional, her focus wouldn't be on it. In the future, as she became busy, she wouldn't be able to look after Qianqian.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Ziyu said, "Then I'll have her look at Qianqian's posture today first. I'll refuse her tonight after I'm done with my work."
"Okay," Di Mingjue agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Ziyu looked at Gu Xiuyu behind her.
"When did you get here?" Ye Ziyu asked, feeling awkward.
She had just been discussing him and Yu Xixi, and now the person in question was standing right behind her.
Gu Xiuyu walked forward. "I just arrived."
Ye Ziyu didn't intend to probe further to ask how much he had heard. She nodded and steered the conversation back to work.
Gu Xiuyu looked at Ye Ziyu's serious expression, his entire heart shrouded in gloom.
Actually, when she mentioned Yu Xixi liking him, he had already been standing there. He remained silent, wanting to understand Ye Ziyu's thoughts. He found that upon learning Yu Xixi liked him, she was instead happy for him.
He had mistakenly thought she would be a little sad, but his thoughts were merely his own assumption.
Gu Xiuyu looked at Ye Ziyu's moving lips. His possessiveness stirred him to kiss her.
"Mr. Gu?" Ye Ziyu looked flustered as Gu Xiuyu grabbed her hand.
His chaotic thoughts snapping back to reality, Gu Xiuyu quickly released Ye Ziyu's hand. "Sorry, when I'm thinking, my hands can't help but want to grab something."
He had indeed lost his focus just now.
Ye Ziyu shook her head and rubbed the place he had grabbed. "It's fine. Do you need me to repeat what I just said?"
"No need. Just give me the revised proposal later," Gu Xiuyu said.
