Chapter 692: Minmin, I Know That You Like Me

However, although they knew that they probably would not be able to get any answers from her, the reporters continued following her persistently with the hope that she would at least answer some questions.
The production crew quickly sent some people to escort Lin Che and get the reporters to clear the path first.
Yu Minmin watched the press conference begin. The trailer for Witch’s Diary was shown on the screen. The exquisite scenes shown were very exciting. It definitely lived up to the hype over the series. Looking at it now, the end result was pretty good indeed.
Lin Che finally appeared on the screen later on. Each glance, each smile, and each confident movement looked like it came out of a blockbuster. It was extremely appealing. But ordinary people probably could not understand the complex acting prowess from a role of this kind. Thus, although everyone thought that she looked good, they had no other comments.
Yu Minmin took a seat in the guest area. After sitting there for some time, she sensed someone come up to her, making her feel a wave of nausea.
She turned around only to see Feng Shaoqing’s face immediately. She froze instantly. “Hey, why are you here?”
Feng Shaoqing smiled. “It’s the press conference for the premiere, so I was invited to attend. I knew from watching the television that you had returned to B City. Mr. President is fine, right?”
“Hn. He’s fine now. He just can’t make a press statement at the moment.”
Feng Shaoqing said, “This television series is not bad. I think it will make Lin Che blow up again for some time.”
“I hope so,” Yu Minmin said while smiling.
Feng Shaoqing smiled and said, “It’s no problem. You have always had a good eye.” He looked at her with a soft gaze and his eyes had a hint of gentleness that had another overtone to it. Yu Minmin hastily turned her head away and pretended not to see it.
Feng Shaoqing s.h.i.+fted his gaze as well and asked her, “What would you like to drink?”
“Ah. Oh? Anything is fine.”
“In that case, a gla.s.s of vodka?”
“No way. That’s so strong.”
“You can drink just a little. I took a look earlier and the vodka looks good.”
“Alright then.” Seeing as the television series was receiving good response and Lin Che was calmly handling the reporters’ persistent questions like a veteran, Yu Minmin was very pleased. It had not been easy from the beginning for them to end up where they were today. Lin Che had pretty much paved her own way step by step. She was truly awe-inspiring.
Yu Minmin took the narrow wine gla.s.s from Feng Shaoqing and spoke to him for a bit. Then, she looked at the stage where the main producer was answering questions from the reporters.
Feng Shaoqing sipped on some vodka. He glanced sideways at her side profile. The glint in his eyes was concealed thereafter.

Shortly thereafter, the premiere ceremony was about to end. Yu Minmin looked at the extraordinary excitement happening on stage but felt slightly dizzy.
Feng Shaoqing approached her. “What happened? Minmin.”
“It’s alright. That’s why I said that I didn’t want to drink alcohol. But in the end…” She thought about going to wash her face, but she swayed on her feet.
Feng Shaoqing quickly held her upright.
Yu Minmin said, “Thank you.”
However, she persistently felt more and dizzier.
She leaned backward inch by inch and ultimately fell abruptly into Feng Shaoqing’s arms.
“Hey, what happened to Sister Yu?” Someone asked.
Feng Shaoqing smiled and said, “Nothing. She drank too much vodka.”
Everyone knew that they were acquainted since they had seen the two of them chatting happily earlier. Thus, they did not say anything more.
Yu Minmin had not fainted immediately either and merely felt weak. She leaned against him and walked out with him supporting her.
“Thank you… my personal bodyguards are outside. In a while, just hand me over to… the President’s personal bodyguards.” Yu Minmin found it strange that the vodka was so potent.
However, not long after… while leaning on him, she was. .h.i.t with wave after wave of dizziness. Shortly thereafter, she lost consciousness.
When she woke up…
The bed was very soft, but the person in front of her looked a little unfamiliar.
She immediately woke up. She was not in the Glazed Tile Palace.
And it immediately became clear to her as well that the person gazing at her was Feng Shaoqing.
“You…” She sat up instantly and was even more surprised when she saw where she was.
They were actually in a hotel room.
“Feng Shaoqing, you brought me here… when I said that my bodyguards were at the entrance.”
Her mind was still groggy. She even sounded weak when she spoke.
However, she saw Feng Shaoqing inch closer and closer towards her. His gaze was very different from his usually gentle gaze.
“Minmin, I know that you’ve liked me for a very long time.”
Yu Minmin froze upon hearing his words.
“I… Shaoqing, I really liked you in the past. But I merely had positive feelings for you when we were young. They never reached that extent.”
However, Feng Shaoqing suddenly approached her dangerously. “Minmin, stop deceiving yourself. You know that you like me. I knew it too but I never had the chance to tell you until I met you again at my family’s company…”
Yu Minmin had an increasingly bad feeling about this, especially when she looked at Feng Shaoqing’s unusual expression.
“Shaoqing, you’ve really misunderstood me. I’m already married now. It’s inappropriate for us to talk about these things, right?”
“I know that we missed the right timing. But Minmin, you must be clear about what your heart wants. You still like me. Otherwise. you wouldn’t have been trying to help me too. You wouldn’t have gotten so close to me again either. To be honest, it’s fate that brought us together again. In that case, why don’t we follow G.o.d’s will…”
He suddenly threw himself at her.
Using the little strength that she had left, Yu Minmin immediately jumped aside.
“Feng Shaoqing, what are you doing?!” She collapsed and felt her body go limp.
Feng Shaoqing said, “Minmin, I know you’re afraid. Don’t worry. You and I are the only ones who will know about our relations.h.i.+p. It doesn’t matter.”
“What do you mean, our relations.h.i.+p? There’s nothing between us!” Yu Minmin looked at Feng Shaoqing furiously. She did not expect him to have such a corrupted mind under his proper appearance.
“Stop lying to yourself. I know that you like me. Minmin, no one will discover our relations.h.i.+p. Look at us. I’m yours now and you can now have the future you’ve always dreamed of. Don’t you think it’s amazing?”
He leaned even closer to her and suddenly appeared right in front of her. “Minmin, I really like you too. I don’t want us to miss each other again. I’ve always regretted not confessing to you back then. Truly. Why don’t we just be together in secret? Even if it’s a secret relations.h.i.+p, I still want to be with you…”
He looked at Yu Minmin. Looking at her now, he had not expected her figure to be so good.
He had not intended to take things this far. But his status in the family was under severe threat. He had to make his choice now. If Yu Minmin was willing to help him, he would definitely be able to protect his position as the successor. Thus, he needed Yu Minmin to devote herself completely to helping him. He was giving her the courage to do it now. He believed that she liked him but merely lacked the courage to be with him. If she physically became his right now, she would have no other option…
