Chapter 191: Safety First, Safety First!
Upon hearing her words, Di Mingjue’s face grew even darker.
Nangong Ran rushed to mediate, "Xiao Qi, it’s just a cup of water."
"Then you get it!" Gu Qibao glared at Nangong Ran unhappily.
Actually, Nangong Ran also felt that Di Mingjue was out of line, but since Di Xiaxia was a member of the Di Family, what could she say?
Nangong Ran fell silent.
Di Jinxuan turned to Gu Qibao, "Xiao Qi, you’re my third brother’s wife, isn’t it normal to fetch him a cup of water?"
"He is also my husband." Gu Qibao stated confidently, "So him taking care of me is also normal!"
Di Jinxuan was so taken aback that she too fell silent.
Di Mingjue’s face suddenly turned icy cold.
Although the number of people here was not large, it was still a public place. The third young master of the Di Family was completely losing face.
The spectators began to sympathize with the third young master of the Di Family, speculating that he was being bossed around by his wife.
After all, Di Mingjue was a man, and a man always needs face in public.
The sight of his icy cold face made Gu Qibao’s heart tremble, fearing that he would flip the card table in the next moment!
However, the more terrified she was, the angrier she got. So now you know what it feels like to lose face, huh?
When you were joking with Di Xiaxia and ordering me around, did you think about my face?
Gu Qibao grew even angrier. In a heat of anger, she extended her little hand to poke Di Mingjue, "What’s wrong, cat got your tongue! Or did you go deaf!"
Di Mingjue glared at her, his eyes cold as shards of ice, his voice even colder, as though squeezed out from between his teeth, "Gu Xiaoqi, don’t push me too far!"
Oh, how dare he accuse her of going too far! So what if she did!
"How have I gone too far?" Gu Qibao remained defiant, "I’m not your servant, I shouldn’t be commanded like one. With so many waitstaff here, are you blind? Why do you have to command me?"
Out of frustration and indignation, Gu Qibao used her usual tone when speaking to Di Mingjue, completely disregarding the public audience. She even declared that he was blind.
She was indeed somewhat angry. Fang Hao’s birthday party was filled with waitstaff. He could have ordered them to assist him, but instead chose to boss her around. Wasn’t he treating her like a servant?
In front of everyone, he was treating his wife like a servant. How shameless could he be!
His actions made her feel as though she had lost all dignity and status. She didn’t feel loved by her husband at all. Her self-esteem had been deeply wounded.
However, after her defiant outburst, she felt a pang of regret because Di Mingjue’s face had turned frigid, making her legs tremble involuntarily.
Though Gu Qibao was somewhat afraid deep down, she stood tall. She wouldn’t back down. This man really needed to be taught a lesson!
Di Mingjue’s brows furrowed even tighter. He seemed to be clutching his cards so hard that they creaked in his hand.
The people near the card table couldn’t believe their eyes. Bloody hell, this was the third young master of the Di Family, the most uncontrollable and reckless man in the Empire, being publicly rebuked by his wife. This was a big deal!
Gu Qibao remained stubborn, glaring right back at him, her eyes holding a trace of grievance.
But Di Mingjue’s frigid expression made her nervous. Just when she thought Di Mingjue would flip the table and storm out, he suddenly spoke, turning his face away in annoyance, "What’s all this fuss about! If you don’t want to get it for me, then don’t!"
His tone was cold, like a reprimand, mixed with heavy restraint. What’s worse, he turned his head away, refusing to look at her!
Gu Qibao was enraged. Damn it, couldn’t he see that she was jealous? He really was an idiot!
Furious, Gu Qibao stomped on his foot, shouting, "Damn right, I won’t help you get it! You guys continue playing. I’m going to find my mom!"
Having said that, she turned around and ran off. She could feel the icy chill from Di Mingjue’s gaze from behind. A fight was a fight, but her life mattered more. She had publicly scolded him and even stomped on his foot — it was best for her to make a quick escape!
Safety first, safety first!
