Love You for the Rest of My Life

Chapter 788: Generously Telling Others You Are My Husband

On the way home, Di Mingzhe seemed to be in low spirits. While Di Xiaxia chatted excitedly, he just gently toyed with her hair and finally asked, "Xiaxia, do you really want to participate?"

Di Xiaxia nodded excitedly, answering without hesitation, "Of course I do!"

To her, the only thought was to participate, to win, and then to stand by Di Mingzhe’s side with more conviction.

As for safety, she hadn’t really given it much thought. After all, she would participate in this sport whether there was a competition or not.

There were always chances of getting hurt when playing.

Getting injured in sports was common, so she didn’t mind it.

Even if she couldn’t win, it wouldn’t hurt to make an appearance, would it?

Di Mingzhe was silent for a while, then looked up at her seriously, "But I don’t want you to participate. I don’t want you to at all. It’s too dangerous. Do you remember falling off the cliff last time?"

"I remember." Di Xiaxia also looked at him and softly said, "But there’s risk in everything, isn’t there? Even walking on the road or sidewalk, there’s a chance something could happen. You can’t avoid going outside just because there’s such a probability, right?"

Di Mingzhe was stunned, he hadn’t expected her to give such a reason. A reason he couldn’t argue with. For a moment, he was speechless.

Di Xiaxia continued, "I know you’re worried about my safety. I’m worried too, but after all, this is something I’ve played and excelled at for years. I know there are risks, but I can’t give up this opportunity because of them.

Even if I weren’t with you, I’d participate now that skateboarding has been included in the competition."

Again, Di Mingzhe was silent, finding no counter-argument.

Di Xiaxia smiled, leaned her head gently on his shoulder, and spoke, "The sport isn’t as dangerous as you think. After so many years, I’ve mastered certain skills that largely prevent accidents from happening. Besides..."

Di Xiaxia sat up, brought Di Mingzhe’s face towards hers, and slowly said, "Mingzhe, you’ve loved me for so long, given so much for me. I want to be worthy of you, to stand beside you proudly and tell the world you’re my husband."

As she spoke, Di Xiaxia couldn’t help but tear up, her delicate fingers tracing Di Mingzhe’s handsome face.

"Xiaxia..." Di Mingzhe’s voice caught in his throat, and he passionately leaned down, unregretfully kissing her.

In fact, he really wasn’t interested in the position of vice president. He could step down anytime.

However, with two people from the Di Family being selected by the country to participate in the competition, it complicated things.

Given his position in government, he knew that whether by soft or hard means, they might both have to participate.

This situation put him in an awkward position, stepping down would mean becoming an ordinary citizen, and he would have nothing left to counter Dan Youguo.

As long as he held his current position, he’d have at least some say in the matter, and Dan Youguo would have to consider him to some extent.

Therefore, he truly couldn’t step down now.

Not only couldn’t he step down, this might actually be a difficult battle.

The most perfect solution would have been for both of them to participate, fulfilling the country’s call. No matter the outcome, he’d step down immediately afterwards and stay out of politics.

In this way, Dan Youguo would no longer hope for him to become his son-in-law.

However, he knew well about Dan Youguo’s obsession with power. Although he genuinely wanted to step down and stay out of politics, Dan Youguo might not believe in his sincerity and could perhaps take some action.
