Chapter 479 - 480: Take a Good Rest
As for my older brother, huh, probably only a ghost could figure out what he was thinking.
Although Di Mingzhe strode forward without glancing elsewhere, he could feel that Di Xiaxia’s gaze remained fixedly on his face.
For some reason, he couldn’t help but the corners of his mouth lifted slightly into a smirk.
Without turning his head, he asked, "Do you like what you see?"
Di Xiaxia, who was engrossed in observing him, was suddenly startled and her reaction immediately sent her feeling embarrassed to the Pacific Ocean.
Unconsciously, she murmured, "What on earth? Does he have eyes all over his face? How could he know that!"
Embarrassed to the point of speechlessness, Di Xiaxia managed to stutter out in response, "Alright."
Di Mingzhe lifted Di Xiaxia into the car. His low-profile, luxury, extended Lincoln started up slowly.
After getting into the vehicle, Di Mingzhe merely set her aside, without paying her any attention, and appeared to be working on his tablet.
With no choice, Di Xiaxia took out her phone silently and began playing a game.
One of them was working, and the other was engrossed in a game. Neither interfered with the other and both didn’t speak, making for an unexpectedly harmonious atmosphere.
When they arrived at the Vice Presidential Residence, Di Mingzhe lifted her from the car. Di Xiaxia had never been to the Vice Presidential Residence. Despite mentally preparing herself, she was still startled by its opulence and tight security.
As soon as Di Mingzhe exited the car, a butler garbed in tails, accompanied by two armed guards, immediately came forward and bowed deeply, "Sir, you have returned."
"Hmm," was Di Mingzhe’s casual response. He gave a slight nod, "This is Miss Xiaxia. From now on, she will be living here. Everything concerning her is to be treated as it would be for me, no difference. We will be sharing meals and accommodations together. You may make the necessary arrangements."
"Yes!" The butler gave a respectful nod without asking any further questions.
However, Di Xiaxia was somewhat surprised and couldn’t help asking, "Big... Big Brother, didn’t you say that I would live in the separate dwelling?"
The Vice Presidential Residence was huge. In addition to the main building, there must be auxiliary buildings for guests.
What did Di Mingzhe mean by saying they would be living and eating together?
This was completely different from what had been agreed upon earlier, right?
Previously, wasn’t it agreed that she would live alone in a separate dwelling while staying here, with her own servants and space, just as if she were living in her own house?
If she was going to be living with Di Mingzhe, why would she have to move out?
"The guest house probably still needs to be prepared. Can you just live with me temporarily?" Di Mingzhe answered succinctly.
Di Xiaxia was speechless and felt like screaming, ’Can I say no’
In the end, Di Xiaxia had no choice but to nod silently, "What else can I say?"
Without paying her any mind, Di Mingzhe simply picked her up and marched straight into the main hall.
His personal room was attached to the main hall. Unfortunately, there was only one, super large bedroom. All other rooms had been converted into studies by him.
Upon arriving at the bedroom, Di Xiaxia didn’t even have time to admire its size. She was promptly escorted away by a servant for a bath, given the inconvenient state of her leg and foot.
Feeling somewhat dazed, Di Xiaxia was bathed and dressed in a freshly laundered outfit, then wrapped in one of Di Mingzhe’s oversized shirts. She was led to the bedside by the servant. Just then, she regained her senses and asked, "Where is my room?"
The servant bent over and replied politely, "Miss Xiaxia, there is only Sir’s room here. All other rooms are his studies. You should rest now."
With that, the servant gestured respectfully towards Di Mingzhe who was sitting at a desk in the distance, and then backed away.
