Love You for the Rest of My Life

Chapter 977: Love’s Openness, Love’s Depth

Reporters kept firing questions, "Don’t you find it awkward to go from siblings to spouses?"

"Yes, and how did you adjust your mindset? You’ve always referred to each other as brother and sister, and now you are married. Did you adapt quickly to this change?"

"Do you both feel guilty? Aren’t you afraid of attracting criticism? From a moral and ethical standpoint, don’t you feel it’s somewhat indefensible?"

The reporter’s words were not so blunt, after all, Di Mingzhe was the Vice President, and it was such a time of high public attention.

But, because the words were somewhat veiled, it instead gave people a feeling of filling in the blanks themselves.

Others couldn’t understand this feeling, of course, they found it awkward, and even somewhat disgusting.

Listening to these reporters’ questions, Dan Lingling finally felt somewhat relieved, but she was dissatisfied that the reporters were too subtle. They should have directly accused them of being disgusting.

However, it was enough already—she had seen Di Xiaxia’s face change color.

You vile woman, you deserve it!

When you were besmirching your elder brother, seducing your elder brother, you should have known that one day you would be bombarded by the public, becoming a land of no arrows.

But facing the reporters’ relentless and tricky questioning, Di Mingzhe remained composed and unflustered.

Only after the reporters had finished speaking, even after pointing fingers, did he begin speaking calmly, "The issues you mentioned actually don’t exist because I never considered her my sister, I had no such feelings. All along, what I’ve had for her is love."

Moreover, as the saying goes, ’only the drinker knows the warmth of their drink,’ everyone has the right to choose how they live, and this is the most fundamental right. Since she and I are not biological relatives, there are no moral issues to discuss.

We only need love and the blessings of our family; the opinions of others are not something we can demand. Whether it is criticism, disbelief, contempt, or disregard, these are all irrelevant to us.

Because only the foot knows if the shoe fits, the opinions of others are unimportant, so we do not need to bear anyone’s criticism because they are not us.

We don’t ask for understanding, nor for blessings. We live our lives, which have nothing to do with others. I boldly admit it just because she is my wife, and I am her husband—an established fact with nothing to shy away from. We are unafraid of others’ scrutiny, but excessive disbelief and speculative accusations border on personal attacks and defamation. Should such situations persist, I will definitely reserve the right to legal action.

We are justified and in compliance with the Empire’s marriage laws, not close relatives, and both single, so our marriage is legally protected. I tell everyone this because as far as I’m concerned, I have nothing to fear and nothing to hide."

He articulated this calmly, with clear logic and forceful sentences, also with reason.

In the end, his gaze fell on Dan Lingling’s face, unfazed and composed, with a hint of coldness amidst his tranquility.

Dan Lingling shook violently, involuntarily lowering her eyes swiftly.

As he said, he fears nothing—so what else could make him submit?

Status, power, or even public opinion, none could make him submit, he still chooses to boldly declare to everyone.

He and this woman are husband and wife; he loves this woman.

How deep must his love be to make him so fearless, so uncompromising?

Dan Lingling’s heart ached severely; she truly had not expected Di Mingzhe to be a person who feared nothing for the sake of love.

A love so candid, a love so profound.
