At this mont, Dan Youguo also found himself in a sowhat awkward position. After all, he was in the middle of a conversation with Di Mingzhe, who had suddenly run off even before they had finished speaking!
It was a situation that put his dignity on the line!
However, given the present circumstances, he managed to muster a dry laugh, "Haha, I never knew Mingzhe could get so excited as well. It seems that Miss Fourth’s performance was absolutely brilliant."
Di Mingchen and Di Mingjue snorted at Dan Youguo’s comnt but chose to not say anything.
Instead, Dan Youguo continued, "It seems you all share a deep sibling bond, which is a good thing."
Finally finding an opening, Dan Lingling sweetly chuckled, semi-jokingly, "While siblings should naturally share a good rapport, only you, Sir, seed overly excited compared to the second and third young masters. Is your relationship with Miss Fourth exceptionally good? As far as I know, Miss Fourth has been living with you in the Vice Presidential Residence for a long ti."
Without waiting for Di Mingjue and Di Mingchen to respond, she continued, "While a good sibling relationship is indeed sothing to celebrate, Miss Fourth is not a blood relative of the Di family. Given the differences between n and won, outsiders might misinterpret the situation."
Di Mingchen blinked and responded with a gentle smile—truly a master at deflecting with official jargon. "Whatever we do in our family, my big brother represents us. If he is there to congratulate Xiaxia on our behalf, it should be enough."
Dan Youguo chuckled—it was an undeniable point, and he chose not to say anything more.
But Dan Lingling, alternating between flushing and paling, finally blurted out, "Can one really represent the others in such matters?"
"Why not?" Di Mingjue retorted coldly, "This is a private matter of my family and part of our tradition. Do you have a problem with that, Miss Dan?"
Dan Lingling was at a loss for words, feeling extrely awkward. Indeed, it was their private matter.
However, Dan Lingling was not easy to put off. Once she recovered, she quickly responded, "It is a family affair. But you are the Vice President of our country..., your image matters in many situations."
Di Mingjue had no interest in continuing the conversation and simply comnted, "Being the Vice President is rely his job."
It did not define his life!
Work was work; life was life. He had rights and privacy that nobody could violate.
Dan Lingling finally fell silent, trapped by Di Mingjue’s words. She didn’t want to engage in a verbal dispute with Di Mingjue here; after all, he wasn’t the one she had feelings for.
By that ti, Di Mingzhe had already reached Di Xiaxia’s side. The crowd was still cheering for her.
The excitent continued as Di Xiaxia was surrounded, all smiles.
Di Mingzhe stood outside the crowd, silently watching her, not wanting to intrude on this beautiful mont.
Despite his calm deanor, his eyes were burning with passion, almost like a die-hard fan of Di Xiaxia.
Or perhaps ’passionate’ would be more appropriate than ’burning’.
The surprise and shock Di Xiaxia had given him were simply too much to handle.
Among the contestants was soone who had once gone to the remote mountain area with Di Xiaxia. Even though they had only t once, his unearthly handso face was hard to forget, hence soone called out,
"Xiaxia, isn’t this your big brother?"
The young contestant abruptly turned around and started whistling at Di Mingzhe, who found their enthusiasm a bit overwhelming.
Nonetheless, as they were friends of Di Xiaxia, he managed a smile, albeit sowhat bashfully.
