Chapter 224 I will definitely apologize to Third Sister-in-law properly
It’s as if he is indifferent to everyone, emotionless.
His eyes carry a light coldness, one that’s different from Di Mingjue’s. Di Mingjue’s coldness is ruthless, devoid of any emotion, while his coldness has a hint of mockery.
It seems like a sort of refined disdain, it makes one feel inexplicably inferior.
It is not that everything is unworthy of his attention, rather, he deems them not even worth a look.
And now, he’s looking at her like he’s watching a play, an outsider’s demeanor that makes her feel both inferior and scared.
Being watched by someone so high and mighty, even meeting his gaze requires a ton of courage.
"No, no." Di Xiaxia shook her head hurriedly, dropping her gaze in embarrassment.
Di Mingzhe gave a faint humph, withdrawing his gaze and diverting it to his phone.
Di Xiaxia feels upset, her elder brother looks down upon her.
She had already thought about apologizing, she was even close to putting it into action several times, especially after her second brother scolded her.
It’s not like she didn’t want to, or did not acknowledge her mistakes. But it felt rather embarrassing.
The Di Family raised her for twenty years, provided her with every luxury, and there were three outstanding elder brothers, along with tender paternal and maternal affection.
She hadn’t handled the whole situation well this time. From her perspective, she was right.
But if looked from Di Mingjue and Gu Qibao’s perspective, she was certainly wrong, even terribly so.
Actually, she didn’t feel good either, always filled with a sense of guilt but she was a little afraid.
Afraid that her apology would be met with Gu Qibao’s disdain and made it difficult for her, making her feel even less dignified.
So, she chose to act like a turtle and ignore the situation, but her eldest brother wouldn’t give her the chance.
Suddenly, as if gathering courage, she looked up at Di Mingzhe, clenched her fists silently, and calmly said, "Elder brother, don’t worry. I’ll apologize to your wife properly, admitting my mistake."
It felt like a huge burden was lifted off her heart after she said that. Suddenly, a sense of melancholy engulfed her. After apologizing, she would move out of the Di Family.
Di Mingzhe, who was fiddling with his phone, stopped. He looked up at her with a calm counter, nodded, "Hmm."
Di Xiaxia lowered her gaze. She did need to apologize. She didn’t mean any harm initially, but it resulted in a fierce quarrel between the two parties.
Even if Gu Qibao gave her a hard time later, she would put up with it. It was her fault in the first place for not handling it properly.
At this time, Di Mingjue and Gu Qibao came down.
"What are you doing here at this ungodly hour instead of sleeping?" Di Mingjue’s displeased voice resounded at the stairway entrance.
Di Xiaxia instinctively turned her head to look over.
She saw Di Mingjue hugging Gu Qibao at the entrance of the stairs, displaying an absolutely protective posture. His clothes were a bit disheveled, with the collar open, causing one to blush and get flustered.
A trace of bitterness flashed in Di Xiaxia’s eyes. See, how happy her third brother was.
It was then that Di Mingjue noticed Di Xiaxia. He frowned subconsciously, his arm around Gu Qibao tightened. He then leaned over and whispered in her ears, "Baby, I have no idea how Xiaxia got here."
He sounded particularly cordial.
Gu Qibao nodded her head in satisfaction, smiled, and said softly, "It’s okay."
She leaned in shyly against Di Mingjue, one like a king, the other like a quirky little elf.
Di Xiaxia quietly looked at the pair. They indeed looked very well-matched.
Di Xiaxia hastily stood up to greet them, "Third brother, sister-in-law."
