Chapter 637 - 638: Nothing More Ordinary
Di Mingzhe furrowed his brows, wanting to refuse, but Dan Lingling grabbed his hand and pleaded, "Come on, brother."
Di Mingzhe jerked his hand back as if shocked, looked at Dan Lingling, but finally nodded, "Let’s take a walk."
The two of them held stinky tofu, eating while walking on the sidewalk.
The night scene was beautiful, the road straight, seemingly endless. The trees on the roadside were also straight, with spotlights underneath, making the leaves look even more beautiful.
They walked, but Di Mingzhe was quiet, it was Dan Lingling who chattered incessantly, just like in the old days.
Dan Lingling kept talking, but he didn’t seem to hear a word. The only thing on his mind was her shadow, her voice, and everything about her.
After an unknown amount of time, Di Mingzhe stopped walking and turned to look at Dan Lingling, speaking softly, "Let’s head back, it’s getting late. You should go home now."
Dan Lingling nodded, but pouted, "But brother, I’m a little tired. Could you carry me?"
She said it as she extended her hand, like a little girl would.
Di Mingzhe’s eyes darkened and chill rapidly.
"Don’t be ridiculous," he looked at Dan Lingling, sternly saying, "There should be boundaries between men and women. You’re an adult, you should be more sensible about this. Don’t say such things casually."
After saying this, he took the lead and walked away.
Dan Lingling stood there, dumbfounded for a while before she caught on.
What, what the hell?
Boundaries between men and women?
Hey, she just wanted him to carry her for a little bit, she was tired!
And she shouldn’t say such things casually?
Dan Lingling was so angry, what a lousy brother.
Stupid brother, it’s been so many years and he’s still so clueless about romance at his age!
No wonder he’s still single!
But the more she liked his cluelessness about romance, the more she watched his retreating silhouette, tall, secure, and stable as a mountain. Dan Lingling happily jogged after him, "Brother, wait for me!"
When they returned to the entrance of the Presidential Residence, Di Mingzhe looked at Dan Lingling, "You should head back early. I won’t walk you home."
Dan Lingling frowned.
"All right, go home." Di Mingzhe waved his hand, and Dan Lingling’s driver drove over.
Ultimately, Dan Lingling reluctantly and disagreeably got into the car, and Di Mingzhe turned around and walked away.
Dan Lingling watched his fading figure at the entrance, and couldn’t help but sigh deeply. Brother, don’t you understand my feelings yet?
I am a girl and I’ve made my intentions this clear...
"Miss, you seem unhappy." Seeing Dan Lingling’s downcast face, the driver couldn’t help but talk to her.
"Ah." Dan Lingling sighed, without uttering a word as she didn’t know what to say.
The driver probably knew already, as he had been with Dan Lingling for a long time, he naturally knew Dan Lingling’s thoughts.
Seeing her so desolate, he tried to console her, "Miss, don’t worry. You are beautiful and knowledgeable, and most importantly, your father is the current president. Mister will definitely fall for you and marry you sooner or later."
"Really?" Upon hearing the driver’s words, Dan Lingling was overjoyed.
"Of course it’s true." The driver continued, "There’s only one President in the Empire, and the President only has one daughter, which is you. This is such a noble identity. Besides, the President is Mister’s respected teacher with lasting friendship. Most importantly, you are highly accomplished yourself. Within the Empire, you and Mister are the perfect match."
