Di Xiaxia was stunned. Yes, how could she forget that he was the Vice President? His safety is crucial.
Yet he casually assured his bodyguard that it was no big deal.
The simple two words, without any emotional ups and downs, were like huge waves crashing in her ears.
’No big deal’ – such simple, easy words yet carried so much weight.
My elder brother deserves to be loved deeply, he repeated in her mind, the mantra echoing like a curse.
’Never mind.’ Di Xiaxia looked at Di Mingzhe and said, ’Let’s just go home. I can order it online and have it delivered.’
’It’s fine.’ Di Mingzhe looked at her, his expression unchanged, his words offered casually, neither flattering nor appeasing, simply natural. ’If you want me to go with you, I will. As I already said, don’t worry about it.’
’No need.’ Di Xiaxia hurriedly replied. ’Seriously, no need.’
Flustered, she grabbed Di Mingzhe’s hand and dragged him back into the car, slamming the door shut.
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, her heart pounding in her throat.
"It’s safer in the car," she muttered, glancing around nervously, a bruise still visible on her wrist.
Her worried look, darting glances around like a thief, had an indescribable flavor.
Was she genuinely worried for his safety?
A strange surge of emotion welled up in his heart as he watched her, unable to withdraw his gaze.
He wanted to kiss her, but he was afraid it might repel her.
What he feared more was that he might misinterpret a simple gesture as hope, only to be met with disappointment.
He fought to suppress his emotions, continuing to watch her without saying a word.
When the car began to move, Di Xiaxia finally turned to Di Mingzhe and found him staring at her without blinking.
