Chapter 985: Your Husband Is Really Great
Dan Lingling was also seated at the table, looking as normal as ever, even maintaining a deliberately bright smile on her face.
After dinner, it was time for the dance party, which also served as a socializing time for the competitors.
Even though it was for socializing, there was a national music group playing live dance music, so those who wanted to dance still had the chance.
Di Mingzhe had nothing much to say to Dan Youguo and the others, so he walked over to Di Xiaxia’s side and asked softly, "Xiaxia, would you like to dance?"
Di Xiaxia thought about it and ultimately shook her head, whispering, "Let’s not be too ostentatious."
Honestly, she felt that the more ostentatious they were, the worse it was for them.
Di Mingzhe didn’t say anything, just smiled and nodded. Everything was up to her.
But unexpectedly, the competitors all came over to offer the two of them drinks, seeming to be in very high spirits.
Those who engage in extreme sports are usually people with open and straightforward personalities, and they spared no effort in teasing the two of them.
Di Mingzhe didn’t want Di Xiaxia to drink, so he offered to drink in her place.
It was mainly because they had never taken any contraceptive measures, and he was worried Di Xiaxia might be pregnant—if she drank by mistake, it wouldn’t be good.
Di Mingzhe took the initiative to block the drinks for her, which somewhat surprised Di Xiaxia, as her alcohol tolerance was actually not bad at all.
As for Di Mingzhe, she seemed to have never seen him drink before.
The competitors were very enthusiastic, toasting one after another.
Di Mingzhe was surprisingly receptive to all comers, very down-to-earth and without putting on airs, and especially straightforward.
If someone toasted him, he would drink; if they toasted again, he would drink.
And with a smile brimming with warmth, he didn’t seem like the Vice President at all, nor did he have his usual calm composure.
At this moment, he looked more like an ordinary husband, standing by his wife’s side, chatting and laughing with friends, drinking.
This moment, of course, caught the eye of Dan Lingling, who felt both angry and aggrieved. Why, why should that have been her place?
Why was it that woman standing by his side now?
She had never seen this side of Di Mingzhe, the approachable side without any distance.
In the many years she knew Di Mingzhe, he had always been indifferent and aloof, never too distant from anyone, but certainly never particularly close, either.
That was the case with people higher in status than him, like Dan Youguo, and it was the same with people lower than him, such as an ordinary servant.
He was like a man with only one side, devoid of much emotional fluctuation.
But there he stood at this moment, smiling as if bathed in the spring breeze, irresistibly handsome, nothing at all like the Di Mingzhe of the past.
So it turns out he, too, has such a side, but it was all because of another woman.
Dan Lingling remembered that Di Mingzhe was not fond of drinking; he would only take a light sip at gatherings as a courtesy.
But now, he was drinking with such relish; he didn’t know how heartbroken and sad she was, seeing him at this moment.
And Di Xiaxia couldn’t help but wonder, when did big brother become so straightforward?
Wasn’t he a bit silly?
Didn’t he know how to decline politely?
After drinking about seven or eight cups, Di Xiaxia noticed that Di Mingzhe’s face was flushed with two patches of red, and she was afraid he couldn’t drink anymore.
"Alright, alright," Di Xiaxia said hastily, "He can’t drink anymore, let me do it."
"Don’t," Di Mingzhe blocked her hand as she reached for the cup, his expression soft, his eyes fervent, "Girls shouldn’t drink."
Truly caring and heartwarming.
The two female competitors immediately covered their faces and screamed.
"Wow, Xiaxia, your husband is really awesome!"
"So thoughtful, such a warm man, sob sob sob, I’m so envious."
"Come on, Vice President, you must drink this one no matter what, to wish you and Xiaxia happiness."
Di Mingzhe smiled and said politely, "Thank you."
