President's Substitute Wife

“Congratulations!”

“I envy Miss Jones for marrying such a good man as President Jessop!”

“Best wishes to President Jessop and Miss Jones!”

In the blessing of the audience, the conference was over.

I stood on the stage like a puppet and my mood was complicated.

Ming officially announced my relationship with him on this important day and made it impossible for me to regret any more.

Because now everyone knew.

At the end of the conference, Dana and Haley came over and respectfully called me, “Mrs. Jessop.”

My heart was heavy.

But I couldn’t say anything.

Ming finished his work and came to me. He seemed to see that I was not very happy. He raised his hand and patted me on the shoulder. “Aren’t you happy? Don’t you like the surprise I gave you?”

“No, I’m glad.” I smiled softly.

Ming stared at me and smiled. He reached out and held me in his arms. His thin lips were on my ear and he said, “I know you’re looking forward to telling the world that you’re Mrs. Jessop, but I know the man you’re looking forward to is not me.”

I heard him and my heart pounded!

I was stunned.

Ming knew. Of course he knew.

He hugged me and said, “but I hope you understand that from now on you are my wife and you can only belong to me.”

“I know.” I nodded in his arms.
