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 documents to Yang Lingxin . “These are Lin Che’s documents . 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 shivered, “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 assess 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 class?”
“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 . ”
