Chapter 730 - 731: You need to have the ability to overthrow me at any time!
He had calmed down, but he still spoke in a very straightforward and chilling manner, "I’m sorry, but I don’t like you. I have always seen you as a sister, and we are not right for each other. It is late, and I need to go home."
"How do you know we’re not right for each other if you’ve never tried?" Dan Lingling hastily grabbed his sleeve, "Why are you so eager to go home? Is someone waiting for you? Is it your sister? Is it Lady Four?"
"You’re overstepping your bounds." Di Mingzhe brushes off her hand with a cold face. His usual calm facade cracked slightly in irritation, "It’s none of your business to ask about my personal life. We are just colleagues. I’ll say it again, I don’t like you. Please don’t be so obstinate."
He finished talking and began to walk away, walking steadily without a hint of hesitation or falter in his eyes.
His calmness and firm resolution filled Dan Lingling with overwhelming disappointment.
She threw herself in front of him regardless of everything, urgently saying, "Mr. President, you have to understand, she is your sister. Even if there is no blood relationship, it’s not good for your reputation. Choosing her would be like throwing yourself into an abyss. Are you sure you want to do that?"
Di Mingzhe furrowed his eyebrows. He despised such entanglements, but he understood Dan Lingling’s feelings too well.
So he knew he had to make her give up.
He calmly looked at her with a trace of contempt in his eyes, and spoke in a structured manner, "Dan Lingling, some things I don’t want to spell out bluntly out of respect for our past relationship. In your so-called love for me, how much of it is influenced by external factors, I don’t want to ask. But I can tell you, my wife, if she truly loves me, it will be with all her heart and she won’t care about external factors.
Your love isn’t pure, so don’t torment yourself. Let me tell you again, my wife cannot be involved in politics, she mustn’t appear in public or partake in power struggles. Therefore, you cannot be her. Also, my marriage and my political affairs are unrelated; do not attempt to strike any deal using marriage."
Dan Lingling’s eyes shuddered, her heart pounding wildly. He was truly exceptional, speaking with clear logic, his words painfully incisive. She felt an intense sense of shame for being so transparent in front of him.
She was terribly embarrassed.
She shook her head instinctively, trying desperately to find excuses to deny his words.
To her surprise, Di Mingzhe continued, "Also, I am already a married man, she is my lawful wife. Who she is, is none of your business. What kind of person my wife is, is also not your concern. If you think that my marriage to another woman would spell doom for me, would be detrimental to my work, then let me make it clear to you, I don’t really care about the vice presidency.
If you dare, you can dismiss me at any time. If you can’t, then don’t meddle in my marriage. If you persist, I am prepared to resign from the vice presidency at any time."
Di Mingzhe’s words felt like arrows piercing her heart. Dan Lingling turned pale instantly, tears welled up in her eyes.
Shock spread across Dan Lingling’s face, she simply couldn’t believe he would say such heavy words.
Prepared to resign?
No longer wanting to be Vice President?
This was a position that many could only dream of, much like an imperial throne in ancient times, one that people fought over tooth and nail.
Could he really give it up?
Moreover, he said he already had a wife?
Dan Lingling stared blankly at Di Mingzhe, overcome with shock and an overwhelming sense of jealousy.
Who the hell was that woman!
What gives her the right? Why does she deserve his deep and profound love?
