However, although Gu Jingze looked angry, he did not actually do anything to Lin Che.

It was really surprising.

Lin Che only remembered that Yang Lingxin was still here after Gu Jingze left.

She turned around and her face nearly flushed down to her neck when she thought about how Gu Jingze had kissed her so recklessly just a moment ago. But the only thing she could do now was look at Yang Lingxin. “Then… it’s late now. Take your things. Let’s go.”

Yang Lingxin looked at Lin Che in surprise. “Sister Che, are you angry with President Gu?”

*

Lin Che fiddled with her ear in embarrassment. “It’s just a small matter.”

Astonished, Yang Lingxin asked, “But why didn’t you go back with President Gu just now?”

” I just want to stay at Youran’s for a few days.”

“Alright then. But on account of President Gu coming all the way here, don’t be angry with him anymore,” Yang Lingxin said.

Lin Che stayed silent as she looked straight ahead and sighed.

So what if the matter still weighed on her mind?

To be honest, she was not really that angry anymore. However, she still felt uncomfortable.

She figured that the feeling of discomfort would probably disappear in a few days.

Lin Che said, “I’m not angry anymore.”

However, Yang Lingxin replied, “Really? Then why didn’t you return with President Gu?”

“I’m really not angry anymore. We… some very complicated things happened. Anyway, you won’t understand. Let’s go.”

Yang Lingxin watched Lin Che get into the car. As her house was not on the way, she did not get in and was planning to take the subway home.

However, once the car left, she mumbled to herself unhappily while thinking to herself, Gu Jingze had actually personally come to persuade her to go back, but she had still refused to return.

How could she behave like this when Gu Jingze had come in person?

She thought that Gu Jingze was already being respectful towards her by seeking her out. Why did a man as great as Gu Jingze have to cajole her? But she was still not satisfied and actually refused to go back.

She was being a little too unreasonable.

Of course, Lin Che did not know that Yang Lingxin thought this way.

In no time, she returned to Shen Youran’s place.

Shen Youran was so confused. She knew that Gu Jingze had gone to look for Lin Che with resolute determination. She had thought that he would bring Lin Che home even if he had to sling her over his shoulder and carry her home, but she had unexpectedly come back here.

Lin Che recounted the incident to Shen Youran. She said that she had told Gu Jingze to leave first and that she was coming here to stay for a few days.

Shen Youran said incredulously, “You’re the only person who would dare to treat Gu Jingze this way.”

Lin Che was taking up Shen Youran’s entire bed. “What did I do?”

Shen Youran said, “But you’re not wrong. The two of you are a married couple. What kind of husband and wife cares about their status? It’s totally normal for a husband to cajole his wife. It’s fine for a wife to play hard to get too. Life is only fun like this. But if other people see you treat Gu Jingze this way, they’ll definitely be frightened to death, you know.”

Lin Che said, “I didn’t do anything either. I already told him that I’m just coming to stay with you for a few days.”

“Yes, yes, yes. You didn’t do anything. You merely made Gu Jingze go home and continue to stay in an empty house. Seriously. Gu Jingze is so attractive. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll be giving other women the chance to seduce Gu Jingze by staying at my house for a few days?”

“Forget it. I don’t need a man who’s so easily seduced either.” Lin Che flipped herself over and thought to herself that Gu Jingze indeed attracted female attention very easily.

Shen Youran said, “Say whatever you want now. I’ll see if you can control your tears when someone really snatches him from you.”

Yu Minmin was seated at the writing desk in the Glazed Tile Palace as she listened to her etiquette teacher’s class.

Her attitude was courteous and respectful, but at the same time, she was absolutely strict.

There were some things that Yu Minmin had difficulties learning. After all, she was of humble origin and really did not quite understand these formalities.

The etiquette teacher looked at Yu Minmin disbelievingly and could only say, “Miss Yu, you’re the future female master of the Glazed Tile Palace. Time is tight right now but you still haven’t improved a lot. It looks like I’ll have to allocate more time for your studies.”

“What? I have to study some more?!” Yu Minmin was already studying until the wee hours of the morning every day. If she had to study more… did that mean that she would not be allowed to sleep?

The etiquette teacher placed a pile of documents in front of her. “Yes, Miss Yu. These are the materials for your lessons tonight. I’m afraid that you can’t sleep unless you finish reading them.”

“You…” Yu Minmin really felt that she was about to go mad when she looked at the high stack of documents.

Left with no choice, she could only look at the teacher pitifully. “Can I skimp on a few documents?” She had only slept four hours a night for many days in a row.

However, the teacher remained firm. “You must finish it today, Miss Yu.”

After she finished speaking, she seated herself in the room and watched Yu Minmin study.

Yu Minmin gritted her teeth. Her only thought was that it was really not easy to be Madam President.

C Nation’s history, founding story, political structure, and its ties with other countries…

Yu Minmin’s mind was filled with all the information, but the material was dry and uninteresting and it was really difficult for her to continue studying.

When she was halfway through, the teacher said that she could move about a little. Yu Minmin thought that there was some fun activity planned and quickly stood up. However, she saw the maids quickly take out a very form-fitting dress that was tight around the hips and a pair of stilettos that were more than ten centimeters high…

The teacher said sternly, “You can wear these and walk around.”

“These… how am I supposed to wear these? The heels are way too high,” Yu Minmin said incredulously.

The teacher continued sternly, “That’s right. But this is something that you must wear. In the future, you’ll often have to wear similar attire whenever you meet someone. You must get used to it.”

“…” Yu Minmin had no choice but to change into the attire while clenching her teeth.

However, the clothing was so tight that Yu Minmin felt as if she was about to suffocate. Furthermore, the heels were too high and made her feel as if she would seriously fall at any moment.

After Yu Minmin had changed her entire outfit, everyone looked at her and could not help but feel that… actually, she still looked very proper, but because Yu Minmin usually wore loose-fitting clothing, they could not tell that Yu Minmin’s breasts were… alarmingly huge.

They were at least a D-cup.

As a result, the formal attire accentuated the bulge at her chest. Her curves were really too erotic.

Furthermore, it went without saying that Yu Minmin looked stunning when she actually groomed herself. It was probably because she was very slim and her breasts were disproportionately large that she looked even more beautiful…

Yu Minmin did not seem to sense everyone’s eyes on her. The high heels made it so difficult for her to walk that she was already completely engrossed in dealing with it. She held the wall for support as she walked. The teacher said frustratedly, “Miss Yu, you have to let go of the wall. If you keep holding it, how are you going to learn to walk properly?”

“Fine, fine, fine. I won’t hold it.” Yu Minmin quickly released her hold slightly. However, the moment she let go, she lost her balance instantly.

“Ah… help,” Yu Minmin shouted and fell face-forward immediately.

Just then, a figure was coincidentally walking towards her. Unexpectedly, she fell onto him.

The people around them instantly let out a collective gasp.

Mr. President was here…

And Yu Minmin had not only been lagging behind in her lessons, but she had also actually fallen directly onto Mr. President.

Yu Minmin was out of sorts from the fall. When she looked up, her eyes happened to meet Gu Jingming’s deep eyes.

Only then did Yu Minmin realize that she had not fallen on the ground, but directly onto Gu Jingming’s body in such a sprawling manner.

Gu Jingming looked down at her from his high vantage point. With a cold gaze, he asked, “What exactly are you doing?”
