President's Substitute Wife

A week later, my landscape design was coming to an end. After communicating with David, we could basically start interior design.

There were few parts of interior design that I needed to be responsible for.

It could be finished in two weeks at most.

In the afternoon, as soon as I came out of the Architectural Design Institute, I saw Ming standing at the door.

He was wearing a white shirt and standing in the sun and he looked very handsome and warm.

When we had lunch together, I told him I would come here this afternoon. I didn’t expect him to come here and wait for me.

I walked quickly to him and asked, “Why are you waiting for me here?”

“Yes.” Ming took the document in my hand and asked me gently, “are you free at night?”

“What’s the matter?”

Ming knew my normal working hours and schedule.

In York, I hardly associated with anyone but him.

This time he asked me specifically. It seemed that he had other things.

Ming looked at me and was a little nervous. He hesitated for a moment and said, “well, today is the Mid Autumn Festival. My father wants me to take you home.”

“Your father?”

I thought of James.

He was Sean’s grandfather.

I didn’t want to go.

At least that was what I thought, but I didn’t say it. I looked up and asked Ming, “how did he know me? Did you tell him?”

“No.” Ming shook his head slightly. “Sean said that. Today, he asked me all of a sudden, and I couldn’t refuse.”

He had been looking at me nervously and looking forward to it.

I realized that he wanted me to go.

I hesitated, “Sean...”
