Chapter 641 - 642: Happiness Comes So Suddenly
He planned to imprison her by his side, let her gradually fall in love with him.
But now she tells him that she already likes him. This was unexpected for him, and all he feels is shock, as if he’s dreaming.
Therefore, he needs to confirm, urgently confirm, fearing that with a blink, this would all be just a dream, a beautiful dream.
"Yes." Di Xiaxia stared straight into his eyes without hesitation, "It’s true, big brother."
"Di Xiaxia, I love you." Unable to hold back, he whispered his confession over and over, the sentence he has longed to tell her!
Di Xiaxia’s heart stirred, immediately intoxicating her.
Her heart fluttered, Di Xiaxia clung on to him, shyly murmuring, "Big brother..."
Hearing this appellation, Di Mingzhe’s mind practically exploded, but he forcefully restrained himself, not wanting to rush things and hurt her.
"Good girl, call me husband." He murmured, this lovely name slipped off his lips, suddenly it seemed so wonderful that it set his heart throbbing. He never knew that such a simple title could make his heartbeat accelerate intensely, as if it would pound right out of his chest.
Xiaxia, his Xiaxia, his beloved treasure of twenty years!
Now finally he could hold her in his arms, everything about her would belong to him, she liked him.
Di Xiaxia heard his deep and pleasant voice, and the term ’husband’.
This address was absolutely strange to her because this outstanding man in front of her had been her ’big brother’ for the past twenty years!
So...
She hesitated, having trouble actually voicing it.
But he repeatedly and patiently coaxed her.
Remembering his twenty years of affection, Di Xiaxia was somewhat dazed.
Eventually, she was not able to resist his persistent plea, and the word ’husband’ slipped out faintly from her mouth.
Di Mingzhe was stunned instantly - the feeling was like a sudden enlightenment. God knows how overwhelmed he was! This address, this address that he had been waiting for twenty long years!
The eyes of Di Mingzhe became moist. He was somewhat hallucinating, afraid that this wonderful dream would end when he blinked. Happiness came so unexpectedly, which made him fear its vanishing.
He asked her urgently, "Xiaxia, tell big brother, I am not dreaming, am I?"
His eyes showed both desire and evasion, seeing which aroused Di Xiaxia’s sympathy.
She responded with a smile and gently said, "Big brother, you’re not dreaming. I am for real. I like you."
"Really?" Di Mingzhe questioned, his deep eyes revealing a hint of surprise, he was clearly finding it hard to believe.
Hard to believe that happiness could arrive so suddenly.
He always thought that he would have to give Di Xiaxia a lot of time, a lot of time to adapt to the change in their relationship, a lot of time to process his love for her.
Twenty years of deep love.
"Yes!" Di Xiaxia bravely met his gaze and said, "Big brother, all of this is real. You may doubt it, I even somewhat doubt it myself, yet it’s true. I cannot explain why, but what I do know is that when you’re not around, I terribly miss you."
Hearing her reply, Di Mingzhe hesitated no more and eagerly said, "Don’t doubt, I am honored."
As he said these words, his intense gaze locked onto her, not daring to blink, fearful she might run away in a split second.
After a long gaze, Di Mingzhe finally spoke, "It is late now, should we rest?"
"Right." Di Xiaxia nodded and couldn’t help but wipe away a tear, "I’ll go wash my face first."
