Chapter 735 - 736: Big Brother Doesn’t Have Much Ambition in This Life
Her elder brother was indeed the best brother in the world. Warm and caring, making her often feel that she couldn’t repay him in any way.
That’s how it is when you’re in love with someone. Even the slightest touch of affection from them, you’d want to respond with an even bigger expression of affection.
That’s the beauty of love – the mutual give-and-take.
Expected demands and expected reciprocity.
"Big brother," Di Xiaxia asked earnestly, after catching her breath for a while, "The one who answered the phone today was Dan Lingling. Will, will she know about us?"
"What if she does?" Di Mingzhe retorted, his tone as calm as can be.
Di Xiaxia was startled and quickly said, "If she knows, I don’t think it will be good. Will she spread our news around?"
"And what if she does?" Di Mingzhe lifted her chin, making her eyes meet his.
His deep eyes as captivating as the stars in the night sky, his alluring yet firm lips, his low and seductive voice echoed from his throat, "Xiaxia, we’re husband and wife. We will have a wedding. Sooner or later, everyone will know. So what’s the harm if she knows? I’ve already told her we’re married."
"What?" Di Xiaxia widened her eyes in surprise, finding it hard to believe.
"You, you told her?" Her rosy lips quivered slightly, and her pretty face displayed utter shock.
"Why can’t I tell her?" Di Mingzhe looked into her eyes, gently soothing her trembling lips, speaking softly, "Relax. Since I wanted you, I, as your brother, never wanted to hide you. There’s nothing about being Di Mingzhe’s wife that cannot be shown to the world. If it’s because of my job, I could simply resign."
He said it casually, as if he was saying, "Hmm, the weather is nice today."
Di Xiaxia was completely stunned. Resign?
The vice-presidential position! He made it sound like selling pork in the market, that kind if you don’t fancy it, just don’t buy it.
Di Xiaxia blinked a few times before she could react, "Resign? Really?"
"Yeah." Di Mingzhe nonchalantly said, "When that time comes, I’ll do nothing and just stand behind you. Whatever you want to do, I’ll accompany you."
In that instant, Di Xiaxia’s tears broke through her eyes and flowed out unchecked.
What did he just say?
He would resign? Stop working? Stand behind her? He would accompany her in doing whatever she wanted to?
Di Xiaxia was so moved that she couldn’t say a word. There were no words to express what she felt.
Di Mingzhe, on the other hand, seemed very calm. He reached out his slender finger, lightly wiping away her tears. He whispered gently, "Silly girl, your big brother doesn’t really aspire to anything in this life, I never wanted supreme power nor do I have any particular hobbies. The only thing I like is being with you, spending the rest of my life leisurely."
To regain and make up for the twenty years of lost youth they had together.
Truthfully, to him, power and status were nothing compared to a single hair from Di Xiaxia. His career was just a method to pass the time, Di Xiaxia was the dream he had pursued in the first half of his life.
Now the dream had come true, and he didn’t think twice about the vice-presidential position.
If this position was a hindrance to him and Di Xiaxia, he wouldn’t hesitate to give it up.
Di Xiaxia was overwhelmed and choked up. He said he wasn’t ambitious, but his lack of ambition was her definition of great ambition!
