Love You for the Rest of My Life

Chapter 978: Defending Your Love with the Bravery of a Hero

Di Xiaxia, who stood by, was also shocked with surprise; she indeed hadn’t expected that Di Mingzhe would choose to publicly disclose their relationship at this highly watched banquet.

Moreover, he defended his love with a stance of fearlessness.

For a moment, she felt like crying, wanting to hug this man and weep profusely.

This was her elder brother who had loved her for twenty years; his love truly made her feel safe and secure.

She had transformed from a woman who could not receive affection into one who now received the utmost pampering from another man of equal excellence and bravery.

She thanked heaven for closing a window for her while, at the same time, opening a door — a door that led to a brighter and more beautiful path toward happiness.

Di Xiaxia couldn’t help her eyes reddening, her eyes extremely moist; had it not been for such a public occasion, she certainly would have thrown herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face.

Di Mingzhe’s words surprised the journalists again, who wanted to continue asking questions, to trouble him, but they found themselves without words.

Although it was a cliché of pseudo-siblings, he admitted it without hesitation.

Moreover, admitting it under such public scrutiny, how much courage did that require?

Pseudo-siblings, having no blood relation, can of course marry and have children, but historically, they would be subject to public scrutiny and ridicule.

Yet, he admitted it boldly, and this bold stance left no room for rebuttal.

Besides, he was the vice president.

Exposing his private life, especially such a relationship, took what kind of courage?

He had said he feared nothing, didn’t need to hide or covert, nor did he care about others’ opinions, because others did not matter to him.

It truly was a wave of surprises, more thrilling than watching a TV drama, reaching one climax after another.

Finally, a journalist recovered from the shock and asked again, "But Mr. Vice President, aren’t you afraid of attracting public criticism? You, you are the vice president!"

That represents the face of a nation; although public criticism shouldn’t be taken seriously, it could still damage your reputation.

"I will definitely attract some criticism," Di Mingzhe said honestly, then calmly continued, "but there’s nothing to fear about that. Besides, being vice president is just my profession, just as being journalists is yours; it’s not my entire life.

In fact, I am also an ordinary person, and ordinary people should have work, family, life, right? Respecting, loving, and protecting my family is my duty."

The journalists were stunned, speechless, and completely unable to find any further questions.

He not only admitted it openly, but did so with an air of utter fearlessness.

There might be criticism, but criticism couldn’t really do anything, could it?

Moreover, he had also said that being the vice president was just his job and not his life.

Could others still respond to this?

And could they still criticize anything?

"Yes, yes, yes." A journalist quickly nodded, "Mr. Vice President speaks reasonably."

Indeed, it was reasonable; although they were ’siblings,’ they had feelings for each other.

If he had abandoned his feelings for the sake of his career and position, perhaps such a person would indeed be scorned.

Of course, there were female journalists among them; seeing such a manly Di Mingzhe, they were very excited.

One immediately said, "Mr. Vice President is bold and daring in both actions and love, truly admirable. As long as there is no blood relation, there is no problem."

"Yes," another journalist responded promptly, "they say love knows no bounds, so it should not be confined by such pseudo-moral standards. It should be blessed instead."
