Chapter 725 - 726: Who Would Give Up the World for Love?
She shouldn’t have been afraid of Di Mingzhe, yet for some reason, she was. Perhaps it was because the man seemed so distant.
You could be right next to him, face to face, looking him straight in the eye, yet you could never truly see into his depths, because his gaze was always guarded.
You might be engaged in friendly laughter and conversation with him, with him reciprocating your friendly demeanor and even responding with a smile, yet you would still feel a distance between you.
He would never say anything to bridge the emotional gap, nor would his emotions ever bring him closer to you.
Most of the time, he was like the calm lake in the mirror; even when it was windy, its surface would never ripple.
This type of person seemed to be devoid of sentiment, desire, and even emotion.
So she was scared of him, or perhaps she often tried to please him, but with his lack of emotional fluctuation, sometimes she didn’t know how to.
Dan Lingling left Di Mingzhe’s office dejectedly. She felt awful, utterly awful.
She had strong feelings for Di Mingzhe, and she had been in love with him for many years.
But Di Mingzhe was always lukewarm towards her, no, his demeanor towards her was even more distant than that.
She thought that by being diligent in learning translation and pursuing a career in foreign affairs, she would be able to stay by his side.
When her father retires and Di Mingzhe ascends to the presidency, he will need to travel overseas frequently and will always have a team of translators by his side. Wouldn’t she always be with him?
Her dad was the President and Di Mingzhe the Deputy President, and he was the most favorable candidate for the next Presidency. She was a little confused, weren’t she and him a perfect match?
Who else could be more suitable than her for the position of the First Lady?
Dan Lingling took a deep breath. Di Mingzhe was of an age to get married. It seemed a match made in heaven for him to marry her, like a destiny fulfilled.
Moreover, most importantly, she loved him!
As Dan Lingling thought about it, she felt aggrieved. Did he really not know after all these years, or did he pretend not to know?
Is his sister really just an ordinary sister?
It isn’t a blood relationship, just an adopted sister from his family!
Is it okay to live together openly since there is no blood relationship?
Aren’t they adults?
Shouldn’t they avoid suspicion?
Dan Lingling was skeptical, finding it hard to believe that Di Mingzhe would fall for his adopted sister, considering the taboo nature of such a relationship.
In any ordinary family, people express caution about such rumors. He is the Deputy President, after all!
The future presidential candidate!
Doesn’t he fear rumors when he is to face an entire nation?
Is there any First Lady in any country who is the President’s foster sister?
Hasn’t he even considered this?
As Dan Lingling thought about it, she decided it was quite unlikely.
Di Mingzhe seemed like a very steady person. Moreover, it seemed that all of his energy was devoted to his work, seemingly devoid of desires and emotions.
She always thought that if he were to get married, he’d choose a woman from an equal social status, someone who was pleasant to the eyes, all things could be work-like that way.
She had also always considered Di Mingzhe a workaholic with a straightforward living pattern. His key focus should be on his work, wholeheartedly.
After all, if he assumed the Presidency at this age, not only would that be an unsurpassed honor, but it would also be something most men could only dream of.
Men always value their career, benefits, power, and status more than women do.
How many men would forfeit the ’world’ within their grasp for the sake of love?
