Chapter 303 - 304: Thanks, Mr. Emperor
Only then did Gu Qibao come to her senses, nodding like a pecking chicken. She quickly joined in the applause, taking a proud glance at the villagers and students around her who were all looking at Di Mingjue with excited, somewhat idolizing gazes.
Wow, the third heir of the Di Family is truly the epitome of elegance and sophistication! I am completely in awe of him.
The fact that her husband was so outstanding and eyecatching naturally reflected positively on her.
Di Mingjue was smiling in turn, watching her stand among the crowd and applaud. She was preening like a wolf wagging its tail, and annoyingly enough, he found her show-off antics endearingly irresistible.
Why did he adore this scruffy creature no matter what she did?
Oh, the travesty!
The village elder enthusiastically said to the third Di heir, "Mr. Di, we have prepared small gifts for you. We don’t have anything valuable in the countryside, so please don’t take it amiss."
At the elder’s wave, a few villagers came forward holding objects.
These gifts included eggs, duck eggs, fresh vegetables, and even a few live chickens and ducks.
Di Mingjue was taken aback; he hadn’t anticipated that the villagers would give him gifts.
He promptly declined, "I appreciate your sentiment, but I can’t accept these gifts. You should keep them for your own use."
"This..." the elder, slightly embarrassed by the refusal, quickly replied, "Mr. Di, we meant no disrespect. We are deeply grateful that you are taking an interest in our village. Especially the vice president’s visit has touched our hearts. Although our gifts are humble, we still hope you accept them."
"The vice president is simply doing his duty," Di Mingjue causally responded, "As am I, my students are here, so it’s only right for me to check on them. I’m not looking down on these gifts, but I really don’t lack anything. These are the fruits of your hard labor, and as for me, I haven’t actually done anything yet. It wouldn’t be right for me to take them."
Gu Qibao thought Di Mingjue looked so handsome while saying all these moral words!
Why hadn’t she noticed how handsome her husband was before?
Just as the village elder was about to say something else, Di Mingjue cut him off. "Alright, it’s getting late and I should leave. You have my promise that I will accomplish what I have agreed upon. Please take these gifts back."
He said "please," which slightly shamed the village elder. It seemed he had underestimated Di Mingjue.
"We really appreciate it, Mr. Di." The elder bowed deeply with gratitude.
The villagers also paid their respects to Di Mingjue in accordance with the elder’s action.
Di Mingjue lightly raised his eyebrows, didn’t say anything else, and turned to leave, but then suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned back and his gaze locked onto Gu Qibao in the crowd.
Caught off guard, Gu Qibao didn’t know what to do.
Oh my god, was this man planning to do something romantic under the scrutiny of so many eyes? Like bidding her farewell with a kiss?
Oh my god, how could she muster the courage? (Actually, she wouldn’t mind it!)
Gu Qibao didn’t dare to meet his burning gaze, especially when he was about to leave.
Di Mingjue just gazed at Gu Qibao in the crowd, fixed like a statue, with eyes softly running deep with emotion and a certain heat.
In all honesty, his looks combined with that pose were damn alluring!
Everyone couldn’t help but follow his gaze with curiosity.
Gu Qibao became even more flustered.
Oh my god, why is he looking at me like that?!
Is flirting free of charge?
If you want to flirt, do it at home!
Sooo annoying~
