Chapter 620 - 621: Don’t Want to See Him
When Di Xiaxia reached this point, her tears were already streaming down uncontrollably. She dabbed at them with a tissue and said, choking, "I rushed out, shouting his name. I wanted to ask him when he had taken the photo for me. I wanted to say, Di Mingzhe, let’s be together, just truly be together. But when I ran out, I saw the President’s daughter with her arm around his, looking very intimate. He didn’t even reject her! And then I couldn’t ask him what I wanted to ask, so I just asked him when I could move to a different courtyard. He said it was up to me, and then he left with the President’s daughter."
"Afterward, he saw me and didn’t say a word of explanation, he just called my name once. Then, I moved to another courtyard. And then he stopped paying attention to me, until now."
Despite Di Xiaxia’s emotional state and occasional sobbing, she managed to tell her story clearly.
Di Jinxuan looked at her with reddening eyes, and asked, "Sister, is it during this time that you realized you had fallen in love with our eldest brother?"
Di Xiaxia looked at Di Jinxuan with swollen red eyes, stayed silent for a moment, then gave a strong nod. "Yes!" she said.
"But he’s ignoring me now," Di Xiaxia added. "I’ve sought him out several times, but he doesn’t respond, he’s even unwilling to say more than a few words to me. I feel so... so cheap. That’s why I stopped trying to seek him out."
"Maybe there’s another reason he’s ignoring you?" Gu Qibao interjected.
"I don’t know," Di Xiaxia shook her head, covering her face in pain. "I really don’t. Do you know how uncomfortable I am? How extremely uncomfortable! He’s such an incredible and outstanding man, and I’m just a woman with questionable intelligence. He’s said so many sweet things to me, even personally cooked breakfast for me. It’s truly difficult for me not to like him!"
"I am just an ordinary woman, hoping that a man will love, cherish, and take care of me. When he came into my life in such a way, I simply couldn’t refuse him. But I needed time to adjust. He stirred up my feelings and then when I fell for him, he ran away!"
After speaking, Di Xiaxia took a deep breath. The despair on her beautiful face seemed to encompass the whole world, and her tears flowed freely. "Do you know what this feeling is like? To have an excellent man say he’s loved you for twenty years, giving you warmth and care, but also continuously hurting you, leaving you in a state of limbo. And when you finally realize you’ve fallen for him, he’s unwilling to say another word to you. Do any of you know how agonizing this feeling is?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qibao quickly said, "No, no, Sister Xiaxia, believe me, our eldest brother would never run away. He’s loved you for twenty years, there must be a misunderstanding. Don’t be anxious, he will come soon. When he arrives, you two can have a good talk and clear up everything."
"He’s coming soon?" Di Xiaxia’s eyes widened, and then she shook her head frantically, "No, who told you to call him? I don’t want to see him, don’t tell him, just don’t."
Di Xiaxia was getting agitated, so Gu Qibao quickly embraced her. Unable to hold back tears she cried out, "Sister Xiaxia, please don’t do this!"
Di Xiaxia lay against her shoulder, weeping mournfully. She said intermittently, "I really don’t want to be like this. I really hate myself for feeling this way, I really do. But I’m just so hurt. And I don’t want to see him, I really don’t."
"Okay okay. We won’t see him!" Di Jinxuan quickly pacified her, kneeling at her side on one knee, her own tears falling freely. "Sister, we won’t see him. We can make him disappear!"
