Chapter 339 - 340: Receive Reward Upon Return
If she really left now, everything she had done before would have been in vain, equivalent to wasting half a month’s hard work here.
Upon hearing her words, Di Mingjue’s brow furrowed even tighter.
Finally, he raised an eyebrow, put her down, recognizing that his darling has indeed grown, become stronger, learned to be persistent and would not retreat cowardly in the face of difficulty anymore.
"Very well," Di Mingjue reached out to pat her head, murmuring, "Gu Xiaoqi, you’re amazing."
Gu Qibao’s eyes widened. Emma, was she hallucinating?!
Di Mingjue actually complimented her!
Gu Qibao pinched her thigh in disbelief.
The usually sarcastic and seemingly arrogant Di Mingjue actually learned to compliment others, this was such a pleasant surprise!
With his confirmation, Gu Qibao instantly puffed up with pride, declaring, "Don’t be obsessed with me, I’m just a legend."
"You cheeky girl." Di Mingjue pinched her face and said seriously, "When you return, your husband will reward you."
"Reward what?" Gu Qibao raised an eyebrow, really curious now.
Di Mingjue chuckled and lifted his brow, "You’ll find out when you return."
Di Mingjue and the others finally left, and Gu Qibao went back with the company of Nangong Ran and Bo Chenghe.
However, Di Xiaxia was in a real mess.
Sitting on the plane, she pondered for a long time but couldn’t figure out why her big brother had shooed everyone onto another plane, leaving only her on the plane. No, to be precise, only her and big brother were on the plane!
Moreover, they were seated side by side which felt quite strange!
Could it be because of the issue with the burnt wood? Di Xiaxia was anxious.
The plane took off. The travel distance wasn’t short, and since it was a helicopter without the speed of a commercial aircraft, it would take almost half an hour.
Thankfully, the flight duration wasn’t too long, so Di Xiaxia decided to play dead.
Unfortunately, Di Mingzhe didn’t give her the opportunity to pretend; his beautiful hand suddenly plucked away her phone which she was engrossed with.
’What the hell?’ Di Xiaxia almost swore; after recovering from the shock, she immediately straightened up and turned her puzzled gaze towards Di Mingzhe.
Di Mingzhe was also looking at her but said nothing.
Di Xiaxia’s heart pounded and his gaze sent shivers down her spine, especially since making eye contact with Di Mingzhe was harrowing!
Why did it feel like the calm before the storm?
And he took her phone away!
Could he have considered her feelings for a second? Ahh!
She was in the middle of defeating a Boss in the game! She must have lost now!
"Um, big brother, is something wrong?" Di Xiaxia asked tremblingly.
"You’re allowed to use your phone on the plane?" Di Mingzhe looked at her, his tone neither warm nor cold.
Ah! Her game’s Boss!
Di Xiaxia wanted to argue but didn’t dare do so, scratching her head nervously, and stuttering timidly, "Just one phone won’t ... disrupt anything."
Di Mingzhe ignored her, with a fluent gesture of his fingers, he turned her phone off.
Di Xiaxia’s eyes widened, staring at her phone, unconsciously reaching out for it.
However, Di Mingzhe had no intention of returning it to her; instead, he held it tightly in his hand, his beautiful thumb gently caressing it.
Di Xiaxia gulped. Big brother, was this the start of something big?
Reluctantly, Di Xiaxia withdrew her hand, forcing a smile that looked worse than crying.
"Does your foot still hurt?" Di Mingzhe asked nonchalantly.
His calm voice was like a feather touching one’s skin, making one feel warm, but it gave Di Xiaxia goosebumps.
Fuck!
When did big brother’s voice become so soothing!
Di Xiaxia, feeling tense, quickly replied, "No, it doesn’t hurt anymore!"
After saying this, she saw Di Mingzhe lift his hand, seemingly intending to give her phone back.
Di Xiaxia quickly reached out to take it.
However...
