This made Di Xiaxia swallow back the words she was about to say.
He didn’t want to talk to her?
When he withdrew his hand, did it mean he was repelling her?
Di Xiaxia didn’t say anything. She just slowly closed her eyes, resolved to bring it up later.
Soon, the car arrived at the Vice Presidential Residence and drove straight in, stopping only when it reached the main entrance.
The butler rushed to open the door and respectfully welcomed the two.
"Sir," The butler bowed, "Miss Lingling is here to visit you. She has been waiting in the main hall for quite some time."
Miss Lingling? Di Xiaxia furrowed her brows and unconsciously glanced at Di Mingzhe.
Di Mingzhe also frowned but quickly relaxed, his voice calm and steady, he nodded, "I see. First, take Miss Xiaxia upstairs to rest, and arrange accommodations in the guest house on the right for her. She’ll spend the night there tonight."
"Yes." The butler respectfully nodded.
Di Xiaxia was slightly stunned. Was he asking her to stay in the guest house?
That was indeed what she had hoped for, she should be excited about it. But why, as he was actually saying it, did she not feel any joy at all?
Why was that?
Di Mingzhe turned to look at her. His eyes were still calm, and he told her lightly, "Go on, you should rest for now."
After speaking, he walked ahead without holding her hand or waiting for her.
Di Xiaxia paused, then hurried to follow him. Watching his tall figure move forward, she seemed a bit confused.
The main hall of the Vice Presidential Residence was spacious. Dan Lingling, sitting on the sofa of the reception room, saw Di Mingzhe walk in.
She stood up. Elegant and dignified, her features delicate, and her demeanor outstanding.
As Di Mingzhe entered the reception room, Dan Lingling extended her hand. Her voice was crisp, her speed consistent. Her sweet, charming smile, combined with her relaxed and cheerful tone, conveyed an intimacy, "Sir, it has been a long time. How have you been?"
Caught off guard, Di Xiaxia turned to look at Dan Lingling. What she saw was an elegant and respectable woman of astounding prestige.
Just standing there, full of grace and poise, she seemed perfectly matched to Di Mingzhe, surely outshining Di Xiaxia.|
Just by standing, Dan Lingling seemed to emanate the aura of a cultured and worldly intellectual. Whereas Di Xiaxia felt like a unsophisticated country girl in comparison. After all, she had always lagged behind academically.
Hearing Dan Lingling’s words, Di Mingzhe pursed his lips and extended his hand, his pleasant voice laced with courtesy, "I’ve been well, indeed it’s been a long time. When did you get back?"
"Yesterday." Dan Lingling’s lips curved into a playful smile, and she let go of Di Mingzhe’s hand very naturally, "Are you touched that I came to see you as soon as I got back?"
