Chapter 317 - 318: Playing Innocent after Getting a Bargain
With a simple white shirt tucked into black trousers, he was able to give the plain outfit an undeniably distinctive appeal.
He strolled over leisurely, his brows arrogantly raised, one hand casually tucked into his trouser pocket. Upon setting his eyes on her, his gaze instantly softened.
Qibao was at a loss, staring dazedly at him. Mr. Di, we finally meet again.
Following his entrance, his entourage formed a neat line behind him, exuding an imposing aura. They bowed deeply, 90 degrees, towards Qibao, "Miss Qibao, good day!"
Qibao stood there, seemingly muddled.
Her large almond eyes blinked at Di Mingjue. A sudden thought crossed her mind: My dream lover is a mighty hero. I believe there will come a day when he’ll arrive in a golden, divine armor, riding on a rainbow cloud to marry me.
Mr. Di, are you my all-conquering hero?
With you in my lifetime, what more could I ask for?
Seeing her befuddled expression, Di Mingjue walked over, gently flicked her forehead with his slender fingers and asked, "Lost in thoughts?"
Qibao blinked but remained silent, her heart still fluttering with excitement.
The man she had been missing terribly a moment ago was now standing confidently and handsomely before her. She was at a loss for words.
Could she describe his sudden appearance as stunning, amazing, or astonishing?
Before she could utter a word, he had already held her head and enveloped her in a passionate kiss.
With her mind in a whirl, Qibao could only hear her pounding heartbeat alongside his.
Her tears flowed freely as she eagerly kissed in return.
Once their kiss ended.
Di Mingjue’s eyes were deep and alluring, his lips seductively curving upwards. He was irresistibly attractive.
He loved seeing his darling blossom under his attentions, like a flower blooming under the nurturing sprits of rain and sun.
Qibao, still slightly dazed, was about to say something when a pair of strong arms scooped her into an embrace.
After her world spun, she ended up in his arms.
"Miss me?" He raised an eyebrow, his voice as melodious as ever.
Upon hearing his words, a lump formed in Qibao’s throat. She nodded vigorously and managed to say, "Yes."
I miss you so much!
"I missed you too." He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.
...
"Are you hungry?" Di Mingjue asked as he brought her into the mobile home.
The camper was luxuriously appointed, filled with everything one could ask for, just like a compact yet opulent presidential suite.
"Yes, I’m hungry!" Qibao admitted sincerely, touching her stomach. "I haven’t had breakfast."
"You’re craving for meat, aren’t you?" Di Mingjue smiled. A wave of his hand had people serving their food.
A table full of an assorted variety of her favorite dishes greeted her eyes.
"Wow..." Qibao’s eyes lit up as she reached to grab a bite.
Di Mingjue slapped her hand away lightly, "Wash your hands first."
Qibao stuck out her tongue and obediently ran to wash her hands.
After washing her hands and taking her seat, Di Mingjue handed her a pair of chopsticks, his tone affectionate, "Go ahead and eat, little glutton."
Qibao took the chopsticks without any hesitation. The phrase ’wolfing down’ was an understatement for the way she was digging in. Oh, how she had missed the meat!
It had been a long time!
The food Di Mingjue had ordered was absolutely delicious. The dishes were so sumptuous and aromatic that you felt compelled to savor them.
Watching her relishing her meal, Di Mingjue’s heart was filled with contentment. Although he constantly reminded her to slow down and ribbed her for her poor table manners, he continued to pile food into her plate.
Qibao was thoroughly enjoying herself. Hearing Di Mingjue’s admonishments, she couldn’t help but laugh and retorted, "Why all this nagging? Will you let me eat in peace?"
"You cheeky girl." Di Mingjue paused and gave her cheek a playful squeeze, "You’re pretending to be innocent after taking advantage."
