Chapter 468 - 469: This proposal is quite good
The sight of her pretending to be strong even when clearly frightened made his heart ache.
He didn’t want to see her acting in this stubborn manner. He missed the days when she was a goofy and naive girl.
Even if it pained him, he didn’t want to see her this way.
The pain deep in his heart slowly spread, intensifying with each moment. The intensity in Di Mingzhe’s eyes gradually receded, eventually replaced by his usual nonchalant demeanor.
After softening the fierceness of his gaze, Di Mingzhe didn’t acknowledge Di Xiaxia but turned his eyes towards Fang Hao and asked, "That villa is still bare-bones, right?"
"Yeah," Fang Hao nodded, "If we start furnishing it now, it’ll take two to three months. But why are you against Xiaxia moving out, Boss?"
Fang Hao was both curious and nosy.
"No real reason," Di Mingzhe replied casually, gracefully putting the rice in his chopsticks into his mouth, "It’s not very safe for a girl to live alone."
"That’s not necessarily true," Fang Hao chimed in, "The security in the villa area is reliable. Plus, Xiaxia can hire some security guards."
Di Xiaxia immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Mom, you’re right. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of my own safety."
"Are you really eager to move out? Don’t want to stay at home anymore?" Di Mingzhe asked, turning to look at her.
"Yes," Di Xiaxia nodded, answering without any hesitation.
Di Mingzhe nodded, remaining serene. "Alright then, since you want to experience living away from home right now and the villa can’t be readied immediately, why don’t you move into the Vice Presidential Residence for the remaining vacation month? The residence is quite large, I’m sure you can find a spot that suits you."
No sooner were the words out than Di Xiaxia’s eyes widened in shock, nearly dropping her bowl and chopsticks.
Gu Qibao was also taken aback. Dang, the boss was playing a deep game! Saying there must be a place that suits her!
His reasoning was freaking bulletproof!
And the sudden change in his tune was too damn fast. One second he was against her moving out, and the next second he was coaxing her into moving in. Impressive!
Gu Qibao watched the two with nosy interest, deeply feeling that in front of Di Mingzhe, Di Xiaxia was simply no match and could be manipulated at any minute.
On hearing this, Fang Hao immediately thought it made sense. "Yeah! Xiaxia, your brother’s suggestion is superb. The Vice Presidential Residence is so big, it seems such a waste. You can just pick any secondary villa to stay in. Plus, everything at your brother’s place is already there and with numerous guards around, safety wouldn’t be a concern.
No need to hire a maid or a chef, which can be troublesome if they don’t work out and need to be replaced. Trust me, it’s a hassle, you’ll realize when you start living on your own. So, I think this suggestion is great. Let’s finalize it. You can move there tomorrow."
Di Xiaxia’s eyes widened even more, they were almost popping out, and her face fell into a pout. "Ah, Mom, you’re joking right? Didn’t you just agree that I could move into the villa?"
"I did agree," Fang Hao nodded, "But the villa is not ready yet, even if we rush, it would take two to three months and it won’t be personalized. Your vacation won’t last for long; you just want to experience living outside, right? Your brother’s place is already set, you can just move there. What’s the problem? You don’t want to stay at your brother’s place, or are you afraid your brother might do something to you?"
