Chapter 597 - 598: It’s Safer in the Car
Di Xiaxia was stunned. Yes, how could she forget that he was the Vice President? His safety is crucial.
Yet he casually assured his bodyguard that it was no big deal.
The simple two words, without any emotional ups and downs, were like huge waves crashing in her ears.
’No big deal’ – such simple, easy words yet carried so much weight.
My elder brother deserves to be loved deeply, he repeated in her mind, the mantra echoing like a curse.
’Never mind.’ Di Xiaxia looked at Di Mingzhe and said, ’Let’s just go home. I can order it online and have it delivered.’
’It’s fine.’ Di Mingzhe looked at her, his expression unchanged, his words offered casually, neither flattering nor appeasing, simply natural. ’If you want me to go with you, I will. As I already said, don’t worry about it.’
’No need.’ Di Xiaxia hurriedly replied. ’Seriously, no need.’
Flustered, she grabbed Di Mingzhe’s hand and dragged him back into the car, slamming the door shut.
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, her heart pounding in her throat.
"It’s safer in the car," she muttered, glancing around nervously, a bruise still visible on her wrist.
Her worried look, darting glances around like a thief, had an indescribable flavor.
Was she genuinely worried for his safety?
A strange surge of emotion welled up in his heart as he watched her, unable to withdraw his gaze.
He wanted to kiss her, but he was afraid it might repel her.
What he feared more was that he might misinterpret a simple gesture as hope, only to be met with disappointment.
He fought to suppress his emotions, continuing to watch her without saying a word.
When the car began to move, Di Xiaxia finally turned to Di Mingzhe and found him staring at her without blinking.
’Is there something on my face?’ Di Xiaxia touched her face and asked.
’Mhm.’ Di Mingzhe nodded, reaching out and lightly brushing her lip with his finger. ’There’s a bit.’
With a confused blink, Di Xiaxia watched as he seriously wiped her lips. Dirty, on her mouth?
She had wiped her mouth after eating, right!
What could be there?
Did she talk so fast that spit flew out?
Di Xiaxia was at a loss.
And just dumbfounded.
Then, Di Mingzhe gently retracted his hand and said lightly, ’All done.’
He then picked up his tablet from the car seat and began using it, leaving her alone.
Di Xiaxia again was left puzzled by his actions. If she had drool on her mouth, she would have felt it.
Plus, she hadn’t noticed any saliva when Di Mingzhe wiped it. Then what could be on her lips?
How strange.
Di Xiaxia looked at Di Mingzhe and suddenly realized. Were his actions an attempt to flirt with her?
This thought made Di Xiaxia pause before she couldn’t help but chuckle. His flirting techniques were indeed unique!
Such a serious person turned out to be so suave when flirting!
Hold on, flirting? Wait, he was indeed flirting!
But, while others flirted with girls around them, he was flirting with his sister.
Gosh.
