President's Substitute Wife

Ming looked at me. His eyes were cold.

He was rejecting me.

For Lester, I couldn’t care so much. I took him by the arm and said, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I won’t go to the bar again. Please forgive me.”

Ming looked at me and didn’t speak.

I didn’t know what he meant.

I stared at him quietly and didn’t know what to do.

What else did he want me to do?

Was he going to have sex with me?

OK, I could do anything for Lester.

I was fully prepared.

After a while, Ming put the ring in his pocket. He stood up and said to me, “let’s go.”

“OK!”

I thought he forgave me, so I followed him immediately.

I followed him out.

We sat in his car together.

Now there was a smell of wine in his car that hadn’t gone away.

I was a little embarrassed.

But I didn’t speak.

Ming started the car and drove it out of the community. I didn’t speak.

After a while, I noticed that we didn't seem to be driving to the Civil Affairs Bureau. I suddenly got nervous again and looked at Ming. “Where are we going?”

“Pick up Lester.”

He looked ahead and didn’t look at me as he spoke.
