“Not bad, Jingming. This is your first time bringing her here to meet us. You hid her well,” Xu Yi chuckled and said at the other side.
They seemed to look down on Yu Minmin. Their eyes were only filled with curiosity as they checked her out.
Gu Jingming’s face remained cool, “That’s enough. Let’s go.”
He obviously didn’t speak as much as those two. He looked at Yu Minmin, “Go grab some food first.”
Yu Minmin could only agree and nod her head.
Gu Jingming walked away with his long legs.
The two of them smirked again and sized up Yu Minmin.
“See you later, Madam President.”
“Bye-bye, Madam President.”
Yu Minmin scoffed. These friends were all equally devilish.
Xu Yi caught up with Gu Jingming, “Jingming, she has a great figure.”
“Yeah, how is it? Have you enjoyed it? Hehe,” Fang Zhongmou chimed in.
Gu Jingming looked at both of them, “You have dirty minds.”
He reached out and smacked Xu Yi’s head.
“Hey hey hey, you can’t be serious. Nothing happened while you were in Glazed Tile Palace for so many days?”
“Really, Mr. President. You’re being too abstinent.”
They laughed and joked around like any ordinary group of friends. The people surrounding them quickly made way for them, not daring to get too close to the group.
Just then...
“Hey, Yin Suya,” Xu Yi quickly nudged Gu Jingming.
Gu Jingming’s eyes sank. When he looked up, he saw a woman standing there wearing a long dress. Her petite face carried a cultured expression. When she saw Gu Jingming, she smiled but appeared sad.
They went quiet.
After some time, Xu Yi then said, “Hey, Suya, you’re here. Zhongmou, let’s go over there.”
He reached out and pulled Fang Zhongmou with him, leaving only Gu Jingming to look quietly at Yin Suya with his hands in his pocket.
In the distance.
Yu Minmin was bored, feeling unhappy that she was dumped here. Especially when she looked at those political dignitaries, each one was getting more familiar than the previous. Still, she couldn’t call them by name. She felt so out of place here. Was she attending this banquet or was she watching a news feed?
She was surrounded by presidential guards who were silently keeping watch by her side. Although the outsiders were filled with curiosity for this newly-crowned Madam President, they didn’t dare to go nearer and could only look at her from afar.
“Wow, is Mr. President standing together with Miss Yin?”
“Yes.”
Yu Minmin froze. She raised her head and swept around the area. She immediately saw Gu Jingming standing tall at the front with a woman.
Facing each other, the two of them were gazing at each other. She couldn’t tell what they were talking about from their expressions.
However, they looked like an unrivaled match when they were together.
Just then, people were talking among themselves.
“Miss Yin seems to be in a rather good relationship with Mr. President and his group of friends.”
“Yes, they always hung out together. Miss Yin originally wasn’t a part of this circle. She was later introduced by Mr. President.”
“Then she and Mr. President are really...”
“That’s what is being said but now, it seems like there was nothing going on between them. I heard that she was the one who dumped Mr. President and wasn’t willing to become Madam President. So...”
“No way. She dumped Mr. President? Why?”
“Because there are too many restrictions as Madam President. She couldn’t continue with her career. She’s a designer and she needs to go on work trips abroad. She couldn’t be the woman who would always be by Gu Jingming’s side.”
“I see.”
Yu Minmin stood there as she heard their conversation. She looked up again in that direction.
The image of the two of them had already disappeared. Gu Jingming was nowhere to be seen, leaving only that woman standing there and looking down.
Yu Minmin immediately remembered who she was. Yin Suya was a new wedding gown designer and was very famous for a period of time. She was the younger wedding gown designer at Paris Fashion Week and was also the first female designer in C Nation who made it internationally.
No wonder she looked so elegant.
Yu Minmin knew that she was merely a wallflower in Glazed Tile Palace. However, this was the path that she had to take. She had no choice.
Gu Jingming returned once again and she followed him.
Gu Jingming looked at her, “Let’s go. My mother is already inside waiting for us.”
Yu Minmin looked up at Gu Jingming and took a deep breath. Her mind was still filled with thoughts about that woman, but she smiled and nodded.
She was still feeling nervous about meeting Mu Wanqing for the first time.
But Mu Wanqing was clearly very easy to get along with. Looking at Yu Minmin, she chatted with her and even said, “It must definitely be tiring to be with Jingming. It’s definitely not easy to be Madam President, especially with Jingming that child. He’s too aloof and doesn’t know how to care for others. If you have any concerns, just come to me. In the future, you’ll be the Gu family’s daughter-in-law. I will always stand by your side.”
Yu Minmin smiled and nodded and then looked at Gu Jingming across her.
Hmph, he was indeed very aloof.
When they left after the banquet, the personal guards looked around. Outside, there were many girls spectating from a distance. They were not allowed to enter and could only watch in adoration outside.
But Gu Jingming only looked ahead, not turning to look at his surroundings. He got into the car under the protection of his guards.
When they reached Glazed Tile Palace, Gu Jingming then said to Yu Minmin, “If your family is willing, they can come to attend the ceremony in a few days.”
“Oh, my dad is still locked up so just leave him there. He can come out when nobody is talking about him anymore. Otherwise, he might cause trouble again. If my mom and brother can come...”
Gu Jingming nodded, “Of course, they can come.”
“Really? That’s great. Thank you.”
Gu Jingming looked at her and then got out of the car.
Yu Minmin quickly called her mother and told her that they could come and to get ready for the upcoming ceremony.
Her brother immediately took over the phone and said, “Really, Sis? That’s so cool. Can I go to Glazed Tile Palace?”
“The ceremony will be held at Glazed Tile Palace. Of course, you can come.”
“That’s great!”
Her mother took the phone again and said, “But how long are those people going to be outside the house for? The neighbors are all watching and they sometimes ask me what’s going on.”
Her brother heard this and said, “Sis, don’t make them leave. They are so cool. They are really too cool standing here. I want to be a personal guard too, but they are so capable. I heard that they’re judo champions and are especially accurate at shooting guns...”
“Alright, stop talking rubbish. They’re only there for a few days and will leave after that. Not many people are focusing on this and nobody is disturbing you guys anymore. They will leave after that.”
“Huh, why? I think it’s rather nice this way.”
Yu Minmin speechlessly thought that this child’s thinking was really very simple.
