Chapter 975: With You, Together We Face Criticism, Unswerving in Our Resolve
And wouldn’t be afraid to announce it in the face of everyone’s gaze and criticism?
How does the saying go again, even if the world is against you, I, will still choose to stand firmly by your side, accept the criticism with you, and never waver in this belief.
But at that moment, Di Xiaxia’s face was full of confusion, yet her heart was definitely moved and shocked.
She really hadn’t considered it.
She hadn’t considered that Di Mingzhe would, under such circumstances, at such a time when all eyes were on him, come down from the high chief platform to personally greet her and walk the red carpet with her.
No wonder he had told her to come alone last night, without inviting anyone else; had he planned it all along?
To walk with her in such a public place without any hesitation, was he not afraid?
Di Xiaxia’s heart, however, was somewhat apprehensive and uneasy; his sudden action was really frightening, and he didn’t discuss it with her in advance, so she didn’t know how to react.
Today, Di Mingchen did not attend, as Di Mingzhe said, it seemed there was a military exercise in the military district that he had to personally oversee, so he delegated someone else to attend in his place.
That meant that today it was just her and Di Mingzhe at the banquet, and with Di Mingzhe taking such an action, she felt a bit panicked and confused.
The ceremony continued, with successive athletes making their appearances, followed by the national flag-raising and other uninterrupted ceremonies.
Although the ceremony proceeded, almost everyone’s mind was filled with the same question.
What is the exact relationship between the vice president and this girl?
These people were all looking forward to the solo interviews later on, wondering how the girl would respond.
But aside from that, this girl really attracted everyone’s attention.
Beautiful, sexy, with a great figure, and highly skilled too.
A leading contender in the women’s singles event, she could be said to be the number one in women’s extreme skateboarding in the Empire.
If the two of them did have some sort of relationship, then actually, they would be quite a match.
All sorts of speculation, all sorts of criticism, awaited revelation in the interview segment later on.
The athletes entered the Golden Palace, the sports enthusiasts outside dispersed, and the journalists followed in waves, one after another full of excitement.
Their faces all showed the sensation that they were about to witness a big piece of gossip of the century.
And Dan Lingling’s eyes turned red with anger; Di Mingzhe had gone too far.
How could he make such a move at this kind of event, a move that so obviously indicated that his relationship with Di Xiaxia was out of the ordinary?
The interview started quickly; Di Xiaxia was surrounded by journalists who barred the way, each trying to get their question in first.
"Miss Xiaxia, what is your relationship with His Excellency the Vice President?"
"Are you good friends in private?"
The question had barely been asked when a journalist realized something and quickly corrected, "No, you have the same surname; could it be that you and the Vice President are relatives?"
This answer was obviously inevitable; sharing the same surname and having him personally come to meet her made it impossible that they weren’t related.
Di Xiaxia didn’t know how to respond for a moment; if she said that he was her brother, wouldn’t that mean if she later revealed they were a couple she would have to explain that they didn’t share any blood relation?
In any case, Di Mingzhe shouldn’t have acted like this at such an event today, no matter what.
Or rather, doing so wasn’t quite right.
She really didn’t mind being secretly married to Di Mingzhe; she mainly wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble and didn’t want to be the subject of gossip.
Unable to answer in that moment, Di Xiaxia could only smile, pretending she was about to speak but truly finding herself unable to; this made things very awkward.
