President's Substitute Wife

I opened the shoe cabinet. There were two pairs of cotton slippers in it. One pair was blue and the other was pink.

And there were two pairs of ordinary plastic slippers. One pair was blue and the other was pink.

I remembered they weren’t here when I lived here.

I took out those pink slippers.

A little slip of paper fell out. I picked it up and saw it said, “remember to wear cotton slippers in winter. Keep warm and don’t catch cold.”

There was no date on it.

I put on the slippers and opened the closet. The clothes inside were all new. There were home clothes and bathrobes for different seasons.

The table was full of brand new advanced cosmetics.

I was confused and went to the kitchen.

There was a pink note on the fridge, “there’s pudding in the fridge.”

I opened the refrigerator and saw that there were really two boxes of pudding in it.

I took a look at the date.

Yesterday.

Seeing this time, my heart became cold.

What did it mean? Did Ming come here often?

It immediately made me feel terrible, but I was a little excited. If I could see Ming, could I let him let me go?

But soon I woke up.

I thought of Arthur’s attitude. He was just moving himself.

He just wanted me to beg him.

I shook my head and took out a big box. I put all the new things in the box, including cosmetics and clothes.

One box was not enough, so I used two!

Finally, I used two big boxes to load all the things Ming gave me. I found a piece of paper and wanted to write a note telling Ming that I sold the house, but I hesitated and threw the paper away.
