Love You for the Rest of My Life

Chapter 784: Slapping the Face Again and Again

She saw that Di Mingzhe appeared as though he had gone into a daze, devoid of his usual composure and tranquility.

His face held a look of shock, and his eyes held a feverish gaze, intensely focused on that woman whose charm was as brilliant as spring itself.

Watching her joyfully cheering, watching her excitedly jumping, watching her being admired by all.

In fact, a hint of fascination even crept into his eyes.

In that fleeting moment, Lingling’s spirit had almost completely shattered.

The way Di Mingzhe was looking at her was so unabashed, so unlike Di Mingjue and Di Mingchen, it wasn’t the innocent appreciation of an elder brother for his younger sister.

It was the gaze of a man beholding a woman, particularly a woman he loved.

Unlike the look of pride like the ones her father and those officials bore, that gaze of his was filled with a deep sense of awe.

Lingling experienced a sharp pang of pain within her heart. She had never imagined that her opponent would prove to be this formidable, formidable enough to be unshakeable!

How could she shake her?

With just one trial, she had managed to stir up great excitement and admiration among the spectators with her performance.

If this were to happen in the real international tournament, wouldn’t she be able to successfully captivate everyone’s attention and steal the spotlight from all across the Empire!

While Di Xiaxia was still surrounded by cheering fans, the officials in the viewingstand clapped in unison. Dan Youguo was also full of praise, it was undoubtedly a great honour.

Di Mingzhe recovered from his shock, but couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong!

Although it was indeed very cool and exciting, it was also incredibly dangerous and nerve-wracking.

It would be no exaggeration to say that his toes curled from fright as he watched, fearing even the slightest mistake on her part.

If anything happened to her, he would lose his mind!

Only those who witnessed it firsthand could comprehend how risky this sport is!

In the past, he watched these kind of small scale skateboarding performances from foreign countries on television and thought it was dangerous, but never witnessed the peril firsthand!

Watching it was frightening enough, let alone actually doing it!

He couldn’t imagine the terror a girl must feel while leaping into the air, twisting, flipping, and then having to stick the landing perfectly.

It was unacceptable, just unacceptable!

He absolutely wouldn’t let Di Xiaxia participate in such a dangerous sport, it was simply too horrifying!

With this thought, he rushed away without a word or salutation, his anxiety evident in every step.

During this time, Dan Youguo started to speak, "Mingzhe, your sister is truly...."

When he didn’t receive any response, he turned to see that Di Mingzhe had already left!

Dan Youguo furrowed his brows.

Lingling stared blankly at Di Mingzhe quickly disappearing into the crowd, she immediately hurried over and managed to catch him just in time. "Excuse me, sir...."

Before she could even finish her sentence, Di Mingzhe abruptly brushed her arm away, leaving behind hurriedly uttered words, "We’ll talk later."

Watching his retreating figure as he quickly ran off, Lingling’s eyes reddened. There was no way she would ever believe that there was nothing going on between him and Di Xiaxia!

If it was just a simple brother-sister relationship, why didn’t Di Mingchen or Di Mingjue leave in such a rush?

Yet, it was the usually calm and composed him that was rushing away faster than anyone else!

In the end, once he got down the platform, he sprinted away. In all the time she had known him, she had never seen him ever leave in such a hurry for anything.

Lingling felt as though she had been horribly assaulted, jealousy stabbing deeply into her heart.

Even though Di Xiaxia wasn’t standing in front of her at present, it still felt as if her face had been violently slapped.
