Love You for the Rest of My Life

Chapter 422 - 423: This dawdling

"Isn’t it hot?" These three simple words suddenly took on a somewhat low, muffled tone that was uncharacteristic of him. The phrase echoed in the spacious bedroom, carrying with it an indescribable undercurrent of tension.

Di Xiaxia’s hand trembled slightly as she held her jacket, laughing awkwardly, "Um, me wearing this..."

Just as she was about to remark that her outfit was rather inappropriate, she saw Di Mingzhe rise and approach her.

Her heart began to pound uncontrollably. What on earth was he planning to do?

Di Xiaxia felt a bit stunned, watching dumbfounded as he walked towards her.

His tall figure exuded an innate aura of power and his handsome face bore an air of untouchable nobility.

His good looks, flawless from every angle, were indisputable.

But unlike his flamboyant brother, Di Mingjue, Di Mingzhe was far more reserved.

This restraint added an allure of mature masculinity to him. He was low-key but still undeniably captivating.

No, that’s not the issue! Why is he approaching her?

As her anxiety increased, Di Xiaxia hugged her little jacket tighter. He was coming, he was coming!

Should she scream? Or should she scream?

Just as she even hadn’t yet gotten the word out of her mouth, she saw Di Mingzhe extending his hand towards her. Before she could react, he had taken hold of her jacket.

Di Xiaxia was taken aback, a tense knot forming in her chest. What on earth was he planning?

"It’s so hot. Why are you wearing a jacket?" Di Mingzhe spoke in a calm, soft voice, gazing intently at her. "It’s not like I’m going to eat you."

Di Xiaxia flushed, instantly feeling awkward.

Damn it. Hearing these seductive words coming from him was utterly flustering!

With his ever stoic, calm face and his unflappable demeanor, it was hard to believe he could say something like that.

Di Xiaxia swallowed hard, stuttering, "Why, why would that be?"

Of course not! Why on earth would he eat... eat her?

She simply felt a bit embarrassed in her current attire.

Without uttering a word, Di Mingzhe walked back to his desk with her jacket in hand, casually placing it on the table before continuing his work.

Di Xiaxia felt defeated and frustrated. What the hell was he playing at?

Couldn’t he just get it over with?

Shucks, what a drag.

Feeling a throbbing pain in her temples, Di Xiaxia ended up slumping in the sofa in feigned surrender, unable to vent her frustration.

She hadn’t wanted to feign surrender, but it was so boring not to. She hadn’t even brought her phone with her. There was nothing to do.

Bored out of her mind to the point that she felt like grass might start growing from her head, and emotionally drained, Di Xiaxia felt truly defeated.

Di Mingzhe slowly looked up, a touch of annoyance flickering in his heart. He had no issue with her outfit choice.

This girl must have been frequenting the gym.

She wore such an outfit at the gym with all those men and women around, including male trainers, but somehow found it embarrassing in front of him?

Besides, the weather was indeed quite hot. Although the room was air-conditioned, the temperature was comfortable, making a jacket unnecessary.

Thinking about her walking around the gym in that outfit made him inexplicably annoyed. Everyone had seen her!

Di Xiaxia continued to feign death while feeling the burning and gloomy gaze seemingly wandering over her. Was that him?

Who else could it be?

But she didn’t dare to open her eyes. If she caught him in the act, how awkward would that be!

Forget it, just keep playing dead!

After a while of pretending, the urge to sleep overcame her, and she drifted off into a daze.
