Chapter 739 - 740: Protect the Wife Well
It’s not at all wasted, but bloomed into a dazzling flower. So beautiful that I can hardly believe it. So beautiful that I want to love it with all my heart, to protect it with everything I have.
Di Xiaxia lifted her head, looked at his perfect face, eyes full of deep, unregretted affection, smiled slightly, "I should be the one saying that."
As she spoke, she drew out her hand and wrapped it around him.
The corners of her mouth curled up even sweeter, "Thank you, Big Brother."
Thank you for letting me experience what happiness feels like, thank you for the all-encompassing, profoundly deep love you’ve given me, thank you for allowing me to feel love’s most extreme sensation. And thank you for everything you’ve brought me.
Di Mingzhe caressed her soft locks of hair and held her closely in his arms.
After Xiaxia helped Mingzhe dress and fasten his tie, Mingzhe left to freshen up.
Di Xiaxia also swiftly changed her clothes and freshened up, then she and Di Mingzhe held hands as they descended the stairs.
Their shared happiness was self-evident; anyone could see it. The feeling of being surrounded by love as a couple was so sweet that it made even those around them feel the sweet sweetness.
After breakfast, the two of them left the house together. Di Mingzhe drove Di Xiaxia to school first.
As Xiaxia was about to step out of the car, she winked at Mingzhe, "Big Brother, I have a surprise for you tonight."
Mingzhe paused, then raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity crossing his face as he asked, "What kind of surprise?"
Wondering what kind of surprise she had prepared for him given her current demeanor.
"Telling you would ruin the surprise," Di Xiaxia played coy, "You’ll find out tonight. Will you be coming home early or late?"
"Might be a bit late," Mingzhe replied, "There are still several national heads staying in Empire. They want to check out our infrastructure projects. There might be a social event tonight."
"Hmm," Di Xiaxia nodded, dutifully responding, "Then I’ll wait for you."
"Okay." Di Mingzhe squeezed her hand.
Di Xiaxia thought for a moment, leaned in to kiss him on the cheek, then jumped out of the car. She gave him a bright, radiant wave, then seemingly a bit embarrassed, quickly turned and left.
Di Mingzhe touched his face, an unconscious smile playing on his lips before feeling slightly foolish.
After clearing his throat lightly, he instructed in his usual low, steady voice, "Drive on. Send a couple of men later to look out for the madam from a distance. Don’t disturb her."
"Yes," responded the guard who sat in the car’s front seat with a respectful nod.
As the car moved smoothly forward, Di Mingzhe reached for his tablet on the side, switching it on, but his gaze didn’t fall on the screen.
His slender fingers couldn’t help but stroke the tablet repeatedly, his curiosity piqued. The surprise that Di Xiaxia was preparing for him, what could it be?
He felt both curious and excited. After all, at his age, no one had ever prepared a surprise for him, especially when the person preparing the surprise was Di Xiaxia.
But what could the surprise be?
Di Mingzhe couldn’t help but let his mind wander, speculating. As he thought more about it, curiosity grew, but still he had no definite answer after a long while.
Perhaps she had a gift for him. He couldn’t think of anything else besides that.
Yes, that must be it. He just didn’t know what kind of gift she had chosen for him.
But no matter what it was, as long as it was from her, he would love it.
Di Xiaxia cheerfully went to school. On her way there, she couldn’t help but message Nangong Ran, "Leave as soon as classes end at noon. Lunch is on me. Let’s go out and have fun!"
Nangong Ran immediately replied, "Fun it is!"
