Chapter 983: We are a legitimate husband and wife
But what could be certain was that after the sports meeting, the entire Golden Palace, the central hub of the Empire, would undergo a major upheaval.
So all they could do was sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, hold off on expressing any opinions, and wait for the right moment to choose a side.
However, it must be said that Di Mingzhe’s preemptive strike was executed beautifully.
An unavoidable battle of wits and intrigue was likely to ensue.
...
Di Mingzhe was unable to extricate himself at that moment, as Dan Youguo kept talking to him, but his eyes would occasionally drift towards Di Xiaxia.
Di Xiaxia also glanced his way from time to time; whenever their eyes met, it was with an intense heat, followed by a knowing smile.
Such interactions would make anyone believe in their deep and sweet love, unavoidably arousing envy.
Indeed, in this world, if love is not valuable, then what is?
Love and life are the concerns of a lifetime, but what about career, power, and status? Can they last a lifetime?
Even if they can, in the end, when one grows old and has no one to talk to,
Has no one worthy of profound and unregretful love, then isn’t that a tragedy?
The couple’s unconscious display of affection was like scattering a handful of dog food, and even those officials with complicated thoughts could not deny that it was quite filling.
Dan Lingling simply couldn’t bear to watch any longer, feeling a burning frustration, like a volcano ready to erupt.
If she didn’t release it, she would truly suffocate.
Moreover, she thought about the indecent dresses that Xiaxia had bought, and she was now quite certain that they were intended for Di Mingzhe’s eyes.
She had the audacity to buy such provocative dresses to seduce Di Mingzhe.
It must have been Xiaxia who seduced Di Mingzhe first.
Yes, it had to be that way.
Di Mingzhe, being a man of age and vigor with no woman by his side,
If she lived in the Presidential Residence and dressed like that on purpose, Di Mingzhe wouldn’t be a man if he could control himself.
Unable to restrain himself, an unintended relationship developed, and as a man, Di Mingzhe would undoubtedly have to take responsibility.
Dan Lingling affirmed herself with certainty that this must be the case.
So she grew progressively angrier, thinking the brazen woman had truly reached the pinnacle of shamelessness.
After harboring her fury for a long time, she finally couldn’t hold back anymore and stepped forward.
"Fourth Miss, I really didn’t expect you and His Excellency to have such a relationship."
Dan Lingling spoke with palpable malice, standing before Xiaxia and looking at her provocatively.
Xiaxia looked back at her with a calm expression, not taking her provocation to heart, and said lightly, "Miss Dan, I must correct you. We are in a legitimate marital relationship, protected by law."
Upon hearing this, Dan Lingling felt so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, but in such a setting, she dared not continue her mockery or make a scene.
After all, Xiaxia’s status was now much higher than hers.
Dan Youguo had repeatedly warned her not to cause trouble before the competition, yet she was so unwilling, truly unwilling.
"I know." Dan Lingling raised a smile and lifted her wine glass, "Then I must congratulate the Fourth Miss."
"Thank you." Although Xiaxia really did not want to deal with Dan Lingling, she still politely thanked her in that moment.
But after speaking, she no longer wished to look at Dan Lingling, feeling subtly uncomfortable at the thought of this woman having once thrown herself at Di Mingzhe.
So Xiaxia looked away, thinking to join other contestants for idle chitchat or to simply sit down and wait for the meal to begin.
