Chapter 462 - 463: No Silver Here of Three Hundred Tales
"What nonsense, this is called love." declared Gu Qibao with pride. As they were talking, Di Mingzhe walked in.
He entered majestically, flanked by two assistants. Once at the door, Di Mingzhe spoke briefly to his helpers who respectfully withdrew.
Di Jinxuan nudged Gu Qibao, "Big brother’s home. Get ready for a show!"
Gu Qibao blinked and immediately became interested, asking eagerly, "A show? Do you know some insider info? Spill the tea!"
"I’ll tell you later, let’s eat first." Di Jinxuan mischievously smiled.
Although wildly curious, Gu Qibao had to focus on his meal for now.
As the servants began serving the meal, Di Mingchen walked into the room. He removed his cumbersome military uniform and handed it to his guard who then respectfully stepped back to the doorway.
"Everyone’s here now." Di Mingchen smiled as he walked towards the dining table.
Gu Qibao also had something to share. He mysteriously told Di Jinxuan, "I also have some gossip about our second brother. We can exchange stories later!"
"Deal!" Di Jinxuan’s eyes lit up as she quickly agreed.
The three brothers sat together, with Gu Qibao across from Di Jinxuan. Only Sister Xiaxia was missing.
"Huh, why isn’t Sister Xiaxia here yet?" Di Jinxuan pretended to wonder, her sly eyes fixed on Di Mingzhe.
Gu Qibao curiously looked over only to be met with Di Mingzhe’s stoic expression, seemingly in deep discussion with Di Mingjue, and completely ignoring Di Jinxuan.
Unable to contain herself, Di Jinxuan slammed down on the table and demanded, "Where is my Sister? Did she vanish?"
Her loud outburst got the attention of all the men at the table. Wait, make that four men, since Di Yan was now seated.
Upon hearing Di Jinxuan, Di Yan frowned, "If she’s not here, go call her. Stop causing a racket."
Di Jinxuan pouted, "I’m not going. My feet are sore. You guys call her for yourselves."
Just then, Fang Hao came out of the kitchen with her self-made top-grade braised goose, "Come on, it’s time to eat!"
"Not everyone’s here yet," Gu Qibao helpfully added, "Sister Xiaxia is missing."
Fang Hao nonchalantly dialed Di Xiaxia and said, "Hey, supper is ready. Come eat." After ending the call, she held up an OK sign, "Great, dinner starts in five minutes."
Gu Qibao’s mouth hung open in surprise. My goodness, Fang Hao, no, Mom was too cool for school!
"Mom, you’re wicked cool." Di Jinxuan gave her a thumbs-up.
Gu Qibao also enthusiastically raised his own thumb, "So freaking cool!"
Indeed, no one else could pull off this level of sass in both Chinese and English!
Soon, Di Xiaxia rolled down the stairs, hobbling slightly. She was dressed casually.
A loose shirt partially tucked into blue jeans, with the back hanging out. Her long hair carelessly scattered, giving off a vibe of laziness and sexiness.
Di Jinxuan eagerly ran up to her, "Sister, let me help you."
Gu Qibao surreptitiously glanced at Di Mingzhe and found him still calm and composed as ever. As Di Mingchen spoke to him, he occasionally nodded his agreement.
However, his hand was continuously playing with a thick, large ring on his right index finger.
Gu Qibao coyly pursed his lips and nodded. Ah yes, the overwhelming feeling of ’the guilty party files the suit’. Perfect!
