Chapter 309 - 310: I Quite Like You
Di Mingchen blinked. Oh dear, it seemed that his elder brother was despising him. What was wrong with being a soldier?
It almost seemed like his elder brother was hoping for Di Xiaxia to get divorced after her marriage.
Di Mingjue sat at a side with an ambiguous smile, observing the trio. His expression was incredibly festive. How was it that the more he looked at these three, the more festive he felt?
"What are you siblings discussing?" Fang Hao walked out. "Dinner’s ready, let’s eat."
"My second brother is planning to introduce a boyfriend to Xiaxia." Di Mingjue stood up, generously stirring up trouble. The sense of schadenfreude in his heart was intoxicating.
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Fang Hao became spirited. She urged hastily, "Di Xiaxia, have you finally decided to get a boyfriend?"
Di Xiaxia scratched her head, "Um, guess so."
Fang Hao was ecstatic, her eyes lighting up. "You want a soldier? Your second brother is not bad at all! He’s a big guy and not bad-looking. Why don’t you consider him..."
"Mom!" Di Mingchen rolled his eyes, feeling exasperated. "If she could have been interested in me, she would have been interested twenty years ago!"
Fang Hao thought about it and realised he had a point. But there was still Di Mingzhe, wasn’t there?
"What about your eldest brother?" Fang Hao immediately turned to Di Mingzhe, promoting him with great effort. "Look at this good-looking, tall and high IQ man. This model isn’t bad either, you might want to consider it?"
In reality, Fang Hao was just trying to lighten up the mood. Besides, she had only brought Di Xiaxia back to be her daughter-in-law.
That said, she had pursued her third son for twenty years, and hadn’t gotten anywhere.
Now that her third son was married, she certainly had no reason to pursue him anymore. Hadn’t the last incident resulted in quite a drama?
But if she had to marry off Di Xiaxia, she felt like it was a loss however she looked at it.
Facing Fang Hao’s blatant ’sales pitch’, Di Mingzhe remained silent. He stood firmly, his back straight as a rod and looking dignified. He was seemingly saying, yes, I am indeed a high-end product, absolutely classy. Two dollars won’t get you such a bargain; two dollars certainly won’t lead to a loss.
Di Xiaxia blinked, still trying to process Fang Hao’s sales pitch when Di Mingchen started yelling, "Mom, you can’t be serious!"
Fang Hao chuckled, "I was just saying."
Di Mingjue put his hands in his pockets, calmly and lightly commenting, "I think it’s quite good."
Then he drifted off to the dining room.
Just as Di Jinxuan happened to come out and hear it, she followed Di Mingjue in a carefree way. "I think it’s good too. After all, we should keep the water in our own field."
Then she drifted towards the living room as well.
"Right? Right?" Fang Hao got immediately stoked, she also rushed to the living room to gossip with the siblings.
She had never seen Di Mingjue and Di Jinxuan in such a positive light before.
Di Mingzhe was still standing in place, for some reason, he did not move an inch.
Di Mingchen was looking at the pair with a befuddled face, "What the hell?"
"Mom, what nonsense are you speaking?" Finally, Di Xiaxia reacted. She anxiously launched into a tirade, "My elder brother belongs to my second brother!"
"What?" Fang Hao, who was enthusiastically gossiping in the living room, nearly fell off her chair in shock.
Di Mingchen was even more confused, what the hell? When did his elder brother become his?
He wasn’t gay, he was a straight, stand up guy!
Furthermore, relationships between siblings, no matter the age gap, were unsettling!
What the hell is wrong with his family?!
An agitated Di Mingchen had no idea what to say, while Di Mingzhe stood next to him. His face had turned awful.
Great.
For twenty years, she had ignored him and treated him like a viper.
Now, even when their mom was promoting him enthusiastically, she still thought he was gay. He couldn’t understand what was going on inside her head.
Di Mingchen was on the brink of tears. In haste, he grabbed Di Mingzhe’s hand, "Elder Brother, quickly clarify this - there’s really nothing between us!"
Di Mingzhe calmly withdrew his hand, his expression nonchalant, "Why do I need to explain? I genuinely like you."
Argh...Di Mingchen felt a sudden gush of blood rush to his heart, damn it!
