Chapter 545 - 546: Default
Having said that, he pulled away from Di Xiaxia’s lips, looking at her with a cold demeanor.
He was tall, giving her a sense of suppression even when seated.
Di Xiaxia blinked, lightly bit her lower lip. He was being unjust, wasn’t he!
He wouldn’t let her reject him, and he wouldn’t distance himself from her either!
So, was this the rhythm of being forced to be with him, to love each other!
Di Xiaxia really wanted to argue, to resist, but for some reason, her heart softened when she met his deep black eyes.
Her older brother had loved her for twenty years, it wasn’t that easy, was it?
How long and difficult twenty years was, she knew that, didn’t she?
But, her feelings for Di Mingjue were openly known to everyone, including Di Mingjue himself.
But her older brother, he had a secret affection for her, hadn’t he?
He only confessed it recently.
It was not easy indeed!
Well, considering he was quite considerate, she, she might as well relinquish her resistance this time?
So, Di Xiaxia nodded, obediently saying, "I understand."
However, Di Mingzhe’s expression didn’t soften much. Despite her obedient reply, he felt somewhat upset.
She agreed to be with him, yet, he wasn’t in her heart.
If there was even a tiny bit of him in her heart, she wouldn’t say things like letting him go on a blind date, would she?
Even though he felt sad and disappointed, Di Mingzhe did a good job of hiding it.
He had no choice but to recall the previous night when he asked her to be with him, promising that he wouldn’t hurt her, wouldn’t make her cry, wouldn’t make her unhappy.
So even with his melancholy, he decided to let it go.
Perhaps, making someone fall in love with another person was not an easy task, but at least there was a good start, so he shouldn’t be in such a hurry.
Di Mingzhe adjusted his tie and turned away from the curtain, saying calmly, "Don’t worry about the blind date issue, I’ll explain it to mom. You rest for a while, we’ll go home for dinner tonight."
"Huh?" Di Xiaxia was a little surprised, "Go home for dinner?"
"Hmm." Di Mingzhe nodded, "Mom called earlier to see if we can make it, if possible, we’ll have dinner at home."
"Ah." Di Xiaxia raised her beautiful eyes, "That’s good, I can go home and pick up some clothes."
"Hmm." Di Mingzhe suddenly pursed his lips slightly, as if he had laughed, then got up and went to the desk.
Di Xiaxia blinked, confused. She said she was going home to pick up clothes, why was he laughing!
What was there to laugh about.
Di Xiaxia pouted.
At this moment, the joy in Di Mingzhe’s heart overshadowed his previous disappointment and sadness.
The only thought in his mind was, her statement about going home to pick up clothes, didn’t that indirectly mean she agreed to live at the Vice Presidential Residence?
Didn’t it also indirectly mean, she’d ’cohabitated’ with him?
Di Xiaxia was indeed a naive and straightforward girl, easy to fool.
This made him very happy.
At least she seemed to have no resistance subconsciously, this point of discovery made him pleasantly surprised.
After picking a book from the desk, Di Mingzhe returned to the bedside.
Di Xiaxia looked at Di Mingzhe standing beside the bed with a bewildered face, and couldn’t help but ask, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Are you bored?" Di Mingzhe asked her.
"Not really." Di Xiaxia answered, "Actually, it’s not that boring, just a little bit."
Di Mingzhe sat in the gap next to her bed, took off his slippers, swung his long legs onto the bed, and nonchalantly said, "If you feel bored, big brother can tell you a story."
