Chapter 399 - 400 Shut Up!
Chapter 399 - 400 Shut Up!
She had never seen her brother behave like this before, his demeanor was stern and intimidating even though he wasn’t showing anger. For reasons she couldn’t pinpoint, a shiver ran down Di Xiaxia’s spine. Was her brother angry at her?
What did he mean by ’enough’? What did she do to upset him? Could it be her terrible singing?
The thought embarrassed her so much that she stammered hastily, "I... I’m sorry, brother. I won’t sing anymore. I won’t."
All she did was let emotions get away from her for a moment and tried to express it through a song. She didn’t expect to be so disliked that it hurt. What was this feeling?
She could feel her eyes welling up, the tears spreading uncontrollably. She felt abandoned. It was just a song, yet her brother rebuked her and looked down on her.
Seeing her misunderstanding his anger and acting as if she were abandoned by the whole world, Di Mingzhe suddenly wasn’t sure what to say.
Di Xiaxia, you’ve really gone too far!
It took him a moment to react, but then he leaned in closer, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear, "Remember, Di Xiaxia, you’re not the only one in the world who’s sad."
The warm breath on her ear left Di Xiaxia momentarily dumbfounded.
It wasn’t until Di Mingzhe pulled away and looked deep into her eyes that Di Xiaxia regained her senses.
Unsure of what he implied, Di Xiaxia looked at Di Mingzhe in astonishment and asked with disbelief, "B...Brother, could it be...?"
She quickly covered her mouth in surprise.
Di Mingzhe frowned, "Could it be what?"
As soon as he asked, he realized, could this girl have misunderstood him again?
Before he could say anything else, he heard Di Xiaxia nervously ask, "Could it be that you... you have feelings for the third sister-in-law?"
Di Mingzhe felt an instant headache. He knew he shouldn’t have had any hopes of this girl understanding him!
Looking at the dumbfounded expression on Di Mingzhe’s face, Di Xiaxia suddenly felt indignant. Lowering her voice, she admonished, "Brother, you really can’t do this to her! The third sister-in-law..."
"Shut up!" Di Mingzhe glared at her in annoyance, loosening his tie. This girl was surely going to be the death of him one day!
Di Xiaxia clammed up instantly, but couldn’t help squinting at Di Mingzhe, shooting him a scornful glance.
Feeling infuriated, Di Mingzhe didn’t bother to explain himself, instead, he quickly walked away, breaking free of her grip.
Di Xiaxia frowned. Was her brother angry? Did she mistakenly touch on a sensitive topic?
But, didn’t her brother like the second brother?
As Di Xiaxia hobbled after Di Mingzhe, her thoughts were a mess. She couldn’t understand what was going on with him.
She was certain that Di Mingzhe didn’t like her because last time he had clearly denied it, saying that she was overthinking. Then, what was his intention this time?
She was particularly confused.
But after her interaction with Di Mingzhe, she was no longer feeling down. Now her mind was filled with an odd question: was her brother sick?
She noticed that everyone had gathered around the dining table. Conversations were flowing as people’s attention started to focus on the last few arrivals.
No need to mention Gu Qibao and Di Mingjue, they were always the subject of envy and jealousy.
They noticed that Di Mingzhe, who had initially been holding Di Xiaxia’s hand, had let go of her and walked over with a grim expression.
Meanwhile, Di Xiaxia seemed utterly confused behind him.
Qin Qian was the first to ask Fang Hao, "Are your boss and your fourth middle sister dating?"
"I don’t think so," Fang Hao frowned, "But lately, the boss has been coming home quite often."
Qin Qian widened her eyes, "Emma, well done, Hao! So you’re taking the path of keeping things within the family."
Fang Hao: "..."
