Chapter 470 - 471: I Only Eat Dog Food at Home Every Day
"You need to take care of yourself when you’re living on your own, don’t go too wild. I’ll rest easier knowing your big brother is watching out for you. And try to restrain yourself, don’t cause problems for your big brother, understand?"
Di Xiaxia looked ready to cry as she stammered, "Mom, I was actually just joking. I don’t want to move out, staying at home is good. I want to be by your side every day."
Before Fang Hao could respond, Di Jinxuan started taunting, "Fourth sister, really now, you were just adamantly telling mom and dad that you wanted to move out. You were unhappy when your big brother didn’t allow it, but now he permits it and you’re backing out. That’s not very fair of you."
Struck speechless by Di Jinxuan’s words, Di Xiaxia felt a sour thrill at the pit she’d dug herself into.
Fang Hao interjected, "Right, weren’t you insisting on moving out earlier? Since you’ve decided, don’t take it back now."
What could Di Xiaxia say to that?
If it makes you happy, then so be it, really!
And so, the matter was settled, and Di Xiaxia felt a mix of emotions.
What’s the difference between living in her brother’s vice-presidential residence and cohabitating?
Wouldn’t it be worse than living at home?
She truly had no idea what her older brother wanted. Was he actually trying to pursue her?
Oh God, she had never been courted before, she didn’t know what it felt like, it was so scary!
Di Xiaxia glanced at Di Mingzhe, only to find him seemingly indifferent.
As if the person who’d just spoken wasn’t him.
At the moment, he was just eating dinner quietly and gracefully; his thin lips and elegant fingers were executing each dining motion in an orderly manner, with nothing amiss.
Di Xiaxia lowered her gaze, her mind in chaos.
But unbeknownst to her, the moment she looked down, Di Mingzhe’s gaze, hidden underneath slow rising eyelids, landed on her.
After dinner, Di Yan didn’t hurry his three sons to leave, but asked them to play chess with him.
The father and his sons were seated at the chess table, surrounded by the rich aroma of tea, a few warm steam whorls wafting about, creating a familial atmosphere filled with happiness.
Di Yan played against Di Mingjue, while Di Mingcheng and Di Mingzhe stood by watching. Fang Hao instructed the servants to prepare some fruit, seemingly preparing to sneakily play some games upstairs.
Unexpectedly, Fang Hao beat them to it. Gu Qibao hadn’t even started to complain when Fang Hao managed to reach the staircase first, to which Di Yan said, "Old lady, come here, play chess with me."
Fang Hao: "..."
"Play by yourself." Fang Hao scratched her head and muttered, "Your sons are enough company for you, I don’t like chess."
Di Yan calmly made a move and looked up leisurely, "If you’re not playing chess with me, I won’t accompany you to the siege tonight, I’ll even cut the internet and change the password so you can’t play."
Oh shit, what a ruthless move, thought Gu Qibao, her eyes wide.
Fang Hao was immediately disgruntled, "Old man, are you playing tricks?"
Di Yan shot her a sideways glance, "Talk less, come here and play."
Fang Hao, seeing no other option, went over and sat next to Di Yan, quite disgruntled. She told Di Mingjue, "My son, don’t spare any face for me, wipe your dad out — don’t let him win a single game!"
Gu Qibao blinked at Di Jinxuan, "Is it really okay to show off their affection like this?"
"You’ll get used to it." Di Jinxuan answered coolly, "I just eat dog food at home every day."
