President's Substitute Wife

Ming got in the car, too.

He drove me away.

I was in the passenger seat and through the right rear-view mirror I saw Sean standing still.

The car stopped at the parking space downstairs of Ming’s house. He got off first and opened the door for me.

He reached for me with one hand. “Be careful.”

“Thank you.” I put my hand on Ming’s and stood up.

With Ming’s help, I limped into the elevator.

In the elevator, I told Ming about the recent project.

Because my clothes were all wet. When we got to the door, Ming took out the key to my room and asked me, “you have your old clothes in your house. I’ll bring one for you. You take a bath in my house.”

Bathing was an awkward and special thing. I leaned against the door of my house. “I can go back to my house and take a bath first, and then I’ll go to your house and let you check my foot.”

As I said that, I wanted to get the key.

Ming hid the key behind him, smiled and shook his head. “I’m sorry, you can’t.”

“Why?”

“You hurt your foot so I don’t trust you to bathe alone.” Ming said. He took out the key to open my house for me. He went to change his shoes first and helped me to take my slippers. He said, “don’t worry, I won’t peek when you bathe.”

His words made me blush.

Ming brought me a chair and set it aside for me to sit down. I realized he was going to change my shoes, and I said, “I’ll do it.”

“It’s okay. I’ll do it.”

He put his hand on my hand and stopped me.

He changed my slippers for me.

When I entered my house, I found that although I hadn’t come back in five years, this house was not old.
