She shouldn’t have been afraid of Di Mingzhe, yet for some reason, she was. Perhaps it was because the man seemed so distant.
You could be right next to him, face to face, looking him straight in the eye, yet you could never truly see into his depths, because his gaze was always guarded.
You might be engaged in friendly laughter and conversation with him, with him reciprocating your friendly demeanor and even responding with a smile, yet you would still feel a distance between you.
He would never say anything to bridge the emotional gap, nor would his emotions ever bring him closer to you.
Most of the time, he was like the calm lake in the mirror; even when it was windy, its surface would never ripple.
This type of person seemed to be devoid of sentiment, desire, and even emotion.
So she was scared of him, or perhaps she often tried to please him, but with his lack of emotional fluctuation, sometimes she didn’t know how to.
Dan Lingling left Di Mingzhe’s office dejectedly. She felt awful, utterly awful.
She had strong feelings for Di Mingzhe, and she had been in love with him for many years.
But Di Mingzhe was always lukewarm towards her, no, his demeanor towards her was even more distant than that.
She thought that by being diligent in learning translation and pursuing a career in foreign affairs, she would be able to stay by his side.
When her father retires and Di Mingzhe ascends to the presidency, he will need to travel overseas frequently and will always have a team of translators by his side. Wouldn’t she always be with him?
Her dad was the President and Di Mingzhe the Deputy President, and he was the most favorable candidate for the next Presidency. She was a little confused, weren’t she and him a perfect match?
Who else could be more suitable than her for the position of the First Lady?
Dan Lingling took a deep breath. Di Mingzhe was of an age to get married. It seemed a match made in heaven for him to marry her, like a destiny fulfilled.
Moreover, most importantly, she loved him!
As Dan Lingling thought about it, she felt aggrieved. Did he really not know after all these years, or did he pretend not to know?
