President's Substitute Wife

I shook my head.

I said nothing.

Ming had breakfast and drove me to a jewelry store to choose engagement rings.

When we entered the jewelry store, the manager and several salesmen were waiting at the door. When we entered, they shouted together, “President Jessop, Mrs. Jessop.”

Ming liked the term.

Because engagement rings were different from wedding rings. It had to be practical.

The clerk brought some rings. I chose one of them with Ming, and it was over.

After buying the rings, Ming took me to lunch and chose two sets of clothes for engagement.

Then we went home together.

It was four o’clock in the afternoon when we got home.

When we got home, I sat alone on the sofa and talked to Linda about tomorrow’s design. Suddenly Ming came and sat next to me. He put his hand on my shoulder and held me in his arms.

I couldn’t help getting nervous. I took my cell phone and edited half of the messages and didn’t move again.

He looked at me and leaned over and kissed me on the forehead. “We’re engaged in a week. You will be my wife.”

“Yes.” I held the cell phone and the knuckles of my hands were slightly white.

Although everything we did today was about it.

When Ming said it himself, I felt so sad.

Nothing could change in a week.

Ming looked at me and put his thumb gently on my eyebrows. “Don’t frown. Don’t worry. I won’t do what happened last time after we got married. Last time I was crazy and wrong. I will never do that again.”

“It doesn’t matter. I...”

“No, we are going to be a couple. If I do that, it’s my fault.” Ming hugged me and put his chin on my shoulder and muttered, “I won’t do that next time. I hope you care more about me. Don’t fail to respond to my feelings. I’m really in pain.”

Ming held me tight.
