Chapter 948: Honor Always Belongs to the Wife
Di Mingchen nodded with a smile, as the two brothers affectionately shook hands.
More players gradually arrived on the red carpet.
There weren’t many competitors in the magic cube event this time, only about thirty or so.
Gu Qibao had heard from Di Mingjue that there might be another selection process here to finalize the competitors.
In this group of players, Gu Qibao spotted someone she had met once before, Shen Yilan.
She couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows in surprise. Did Shen Yilan also play with magic cubes?
And she had even become a national player?
This couldn’t help but make her take another look, with newfound respect.
The last time they met, it hadn’t been pleasant, and it had been so long ago that she had almost forgotten about this person, only remembering that this woman wasn’t as gentle and polite as she seemed.
Shen Yilan basked in the spotlight, unable to conceal the smile on her face, tinged with a hint of pride.
Whoever it was would likely be proud at this moment, after all, representing one’s country was indeed an honor, and she was a woman, no less.
From a certain point of view, Gu Qibao did admire her.
For a woman to stand here, regardless of her character, at least her capabilities in this aspect were quite exceptional.
Accompanied by another male competitor, Shen Yilan walked over, her eyes shimmering with pride.
The announcer promptly reported, "What we see now is our beautiful magic cube athlete, Miss Shen Yilan, who won fourth place in the women’s three-layer magic cube and sixth place in the three-layer blindfolded event, as well as the mixed doubles championship at F Country’s international magic cube competition five years ago. She is also a highly talented seed player for this sports event."
The pride in Shen Yilan’s face and eyes were undeniable; she kept nodding, smiling and waving, occasionally stopping for the photographers.
She walked forward slowly, as the announcer continued to introduce the next competitor.
She was about to reach the stage when her eyes suddenly jolted upon seeing Di Mingjue.
He was perfect.
Just like the remarkably handsome, high-spirited young man he had been.
Only now, he had lost that youthful naivety and gained an aura of cold beauty and the unique charm of a mature man.
He stood out from the crowd as if he were a crane amongst chickens. Shen Yilan’s eyes softened for a moment, but when her gaze fell upon Gu Qibao beside him, they dimmed like a falling meteor.
That was his wife, the wife he seemed to cherish and adore.
Now standing by his side, petite and delicate, she looked lovely and elegant in a green gossamer dress swirling in the wind, exposing her pale and tender legs.
One couldn’t deny they made a handsome couple.
But her heart was filled with sourness. If only she hadn’t made the wrong choice due to her blindness back then, she might have been the one standing by his side now.
She could have walked with him on this glittering carpet, being personally received by the President, and together they would have accepted the honors.
But now...
This unparalleled honor, the glory of multiple championship titles, shone upon his legitimate wife.
Since ancient times, a child brings honor to their mother, a wife shares in her husband’s glory.
The more illustrious the husband, the equal treatment the wife enjoys, and often before others, the husband even owes gratitude to his wife for her contributions to the family.
It’s said that in the badge of honor, there is half for you and half for me; spouses are a unit, and a partner’s rights even exceed those of parents and children.
Not to mention friends, collaborators, or partners.
