Yang Lingxin asked suspiciously, “Sister Minmin, this is…”
“It’s fine. I’m just going for a while. It should be some problem at home,” she handed the doc.u.ments to Yang Lingxin. “These are Lin Che’s doc.u.ments. Take them back with you and return them to me in the office tomorrow.”
“Okay,” Yang Lingxin looked at the people in front of her and felt puzzled. These people looked formidable and didn’t seem to be from the company.
However, she looked at Yu Minmin and dared not to say anything. She could only fearfully watch these people escort Yu Minmin away from the studio.
At the presidential palace, Glazed Tile Palace.
It was the first time Yu Minmin came to such a place. She always watched the yearly open house on TV when this place was opened to the public. But that day didn’t have such strict staff. When she entered, the layers closed after her. None of her belongings were with her.
Gu Jingming came in and handed over his belongings to the entourage. He looked at Yu Minmin and firmly walked over. His face darkened as he gazed at Yu Minmin. Feeling annoyed, he only took a glance and tossed the papers to her.
Yu Minmin was stunned. She looked at Gu Jingming, picked up the papers suspiciously, and her face completely paled.
Gu Jingming said, “The only option I can think of now is to publicly declare that it’s a private photo of me and my fiancée. I must claim that this is only part of my everyday private life. It has nothing to do with the outside world.”
Yu Minmin s.h.i.+vered, “The image of me is not clear. It shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“I will not rule out the possibility that they may have clearer pictures of us, so you must comply with all the conditions of the Glazed Tile Palace.”
“What?” Yu Minmin looked at him in astonishment. “What do you mean?”
“It means that from now on, you will be my fiancée.”
“…” Yu Minmin was entirely stunned. How could she become his fiancée?
“But…”
“There are no buts. This matter is all because of you and now, you must take responsibility for it. This is the consequence. I asked you to come here not for a discussion, but to inform you that you’ll be my fiancée from now on. Although you temporarily won’t be exposed, you must still be prepared for when that happens one day. Or if we need to take this to the next level, I’ll inform you again.”
“What?” Yu Minmin looked at Gu Jingming in shock. “You’re asking me to pretend to be with you? On what basis?”
Gu Jingming stepped closer to Yu Minmin, looked at her face, and said quietly, “Otherwise, I will throw you and your family to rot in **** prison on the basis that you are a suspected spy that can undermine national security.”
“You… This is an abuse of authority.”
“Whatever floats your boat.”
“You… ”
“Fine. This is because you are Lin Che’s agent. That’s why I never got rid of you immediately. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have the right to be here and talk to me right now.”
Yu Minmin looked at Gu Jingming and couldn’t control her anger, “I think that you haven’t gotten rid of me because you’re still going to use me. This is my right to stand here!”
Gu Jingming’s eyes narrowed.
Those menacing eyes looked murderous.
Looking at this daring woman in front of him, his fiery gaze almost seemed to drown her.
However, Yu Minmin didn’t care at all.
She was either going to live or die on this boat. She was going to die sooner or later. But she didn’t know if she would be tossed away after being used or when she would be killed because of all these complicated relations.
Now, there was only one path for her. Why should she still fear anything?
Yu Minmin said, “What other requests do you have? List them all out now and stop beating about the bush. Everything is fake anyway and I can’t outplay you, politicians. I can’t outplay the mighty Mr. President, so I won’t have any tricks up my sleeves. Just be frank with me. Let’s not waste time by beating about the bush.”
Gu Jingming heard this and looked deeply into her eyes, “You better think this way.”
“What do you expect? You are too strong. What else can I think of?” Yu Minmin asked.
Gu Jingming stared at her plainly. After some time, he then said, “Good. You better remember your words today. I’m not hiding anything from you. From now on, you are my fiancée and I don’t need you to change anything. Just be yourself. I only need you to remember not to try to run away. Otherwise, you will regret every decision you make.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t.”
Gu Jingming indeed didn’t need her to do anything else. Anyway, a commoner wife would be beneficial to his image, just as Jingze said. There had been speculations about him and his family was urging him to get married. He could only choose her as his fiancée at this time. Their opponent was too discrete and no matter how smart the Gu family was, they would never know what other information was in their opponent’s hands.
Gu Jingming said, “Come on. I’ll send you back.”
“No need. I can go back myself,” she said and turned to walk out.
But Gu Jingming caught up to her, “I need to a.s.sess your family situation too.”
Yu Minmin looked up suspiciously.
He said, “Let’s go.”
Yu Minmin watched as he strode out and she could only follow him.
Sitting in the presidential car, Yu Minmin looked at the guards outside and took a deep breath. The highly respected and adored Mr. President was sitting just inches away from her. She silently sighed, thinking that this was all too surprising. It was so surprising that there was no way for her to figure out what to do.
Yu Minmin’s family situation was not good. The money she worked and saved so hard for were already squandered by her gambling father. Now, her family had nothing and she had a younger brother who was still in school.
Gu Jingming looked at the road outside as they drove along the alley. There were potholes on the surface and the ghetto within the city looked particularly dirty.
Gu Jingming looked outside. People from the presidential palace already had their cameras prepared. In tomorrow’s papers, there were going to be reports that showed him sending his fiancée home.
Yu Minmin naturally didn’t know about all this.
He looked at the woman beside him. He didn’t plan to marry for the time being but now, he suddenly had a fiancée.
Very soon, they reached her house. Yu Minmin said, “Thanks for sending me back.”
Looking at this dilapidated place, she asked, “So? Mr. President has probably never been to such a shabby place. If you regret having me comply with you, remember to tell me earlier.”
Gu Jingming’s eyes swept across the dirty little alley outside and remained silent.
Yu Minmin also didn’t say more. She closed the car door, looked back at the president’s huge entourage, and walked in.
“Sis.” Yu Minmin heard her brother’s call. She turned around and smiled at the teenage boy approaching her.
She looked at her brother and smiled dotingly, “You just ended cla.s.s?”
“Yes, Sis. The remedial teacher let us off late today. Right, Sis, who were those people?” Her brother looked outside with his tender face and asked.
Yu Minmin watched the line of cars slowly moving away, “Oh, it’s nothing. They sent me home.”
“Really? They look very formidable.”
Yu Minmin laughed and put an arm around her brother’s neck, “Come on. Let’s go in.”
