Chapter 727 - 728: A Woman Pursuing a Man Through a Veil
"I don’t." Dan Lingling laughed sheepishly, "Dad, you can stop teasing me. I’m afraid that if I don’t marry him, you would be the one who’s anxious!"
Honestly, a man as outstanding as Di Mingzhe would only add value to her family as a son-in-law, especially now that her father’s term was coming to an end.
He had already served three terms, and there was no way for him to get re-elected.
But having their son-in-law become President was simply the best situation, as it would be equivalent to the political power still residing in Dan Youguo’s hands.
This marriage, when considered from the perspectives of benefits, power and emotions, was very appropriate and they would not stand to lose anything.
"Enough, enough." Dan Youguo composed himself, "It’s okay to say these things to me, but you should never say them in public."
"I know." Lingling nodded, "Don’t worry, Dad. You think I don’t know how to behave?"
"Hmm." Dan Youguo also nodded, he trusted his daughter completely.
"Don’t worry." He solemnly said, "I’ll do my best to secure this marriage for you. But remember, the old saying goes ’a woman’s pursuit of a man is only separated by a layer of yarn’. You can’t always keep your distance. Mingzhe is a proud and outstanding man, you won’t lose out by taking the initiative."
"I understand, Dad." Lingling blushed, but nodded earnestly, "I will pursue my love with all my might. Don’t worry."
"Hmm." Dan Youguo nodded again, with a hint of regret. If his son were as outstanding as Di Mingzhe, he wouldn’t have to go to so much trouble arranging this marriage.
But he had no choice. After being President for so long, he had grown attached to the power.
His son wasn’t making enough progress, but luckily, he had a smart and capable daughter.
Besides, he had always admired Di Mingzhe. He believed that this union would be the most suitable and beautiful one.
The father-daughter duo had some more conversation before the dinner began.
Arm in arm with Dan Youguo, Lingling left the office and arrived at the banquet hall in the Golden Palace, used specifically for welcoming foreign guests.
Even though there were not many invitees, just over ten including all the officials from the Empire, the venue’s scale was quite grand.
The banquet hall was grand, majestic, sophisticated, and elegant, with every detail reflecting the magnificence of a nation.
Being here naturally evoked a sense of superiority, a swell of pride.
At this moment, the senior officials of the Empire’s Golden Palace, including Di Mingzhe, were all standing quietly at the entrance of the banquet hall, waiting for the arrival of President Dan Youguo.
Leaders from several countries were also present.
Dan Lingling, arm in arm with Dan Youguo, exuded elegance and grace, and her pride was evident.
However, in terms of appearance, Lingling was truly breathtaking.
Although she was not traditionally beautiful, her aura was distinctly refined, dignified, knowledgeable, and modest.
"Your Excellency." The Empire’s officials, upon seeing President Dan Youguo approaching, all bowed slightly in respect. The heads of other countries, out of politeness, also subtly bowed their heads.
Dan Youguo walked over with great poise and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, there is no need for formalities, let’s eat."
Lingling, in her poised manner, translated his every word shortly after he spoke. Her pronunciation was clear and her language skills were excellent. She was polite but relaxed, not showing any restraint.
In doing so, Lingling seemed to shine even brighter. Besides Mingzhe, everyone else’s eyes shone brightly when they looked at her.
