The President’s guards took their leave first very soon after.
Lin Che turned around and asked Yang Lingxin to go and prepare for the upcoming schedules. However, this was mainly an excuse to send her away.
Although Yang Lingxin was not too willing to leave, she could only purse her lips and look at the two of them before turning to leave.
However, she was still thinking about this matter. She could not help but find it surprising. Was Yu Minmin telling the truth? Was she going to- going to marry the President?
How could that be?
But it was not totally impossible either. Perhaps she had become acquainted with Mr. President through Lin Che. Then, she got so lucky that she was going to just marry him.
Yang Lingxin bit her lip in thought. Why did each and every person around Lin Che become so lucky?
When would she get some of this luck?

Lin Che only pulled Yu Minmin hastily to her after watching Yang Lingxin leave. “What’s going on? Why did the two of you suddenly…”
Left with no choice, Yu Minmin explained the entire sequence of events to Lin Che in detail.
Lin Che asked in surprise, “Did your affair with him begin then?”
Yu Minmin coughed dryly. “Mind your words. What do you mean by an affair?”
“It’s true anyway. How could you not tell me anything?”
“I thought that it was virtually unimaginable. I didn’t know why someone kidnapped me and sent me directly to his room. I was drunk at the time and didn’t sense that anything was wrong. But in retrospect, it was really very suspicious.”
“I wonder if they got the wrong person,” Lin Che said.
Yu Minmin said, “I think that’s possible too.”
“But, you’re really going to marry Older Brother now?”
“He didn’t give me a choice either. He just said that I must cooperate with him. I know that he probably wouldn’t take a fancy to someone as lowly as me. He had no choice but to use me to keep up appearances. There’s nothing I can do either… the political stakes are too high. Apart from doing this, there’s probably no other route I can take.”
“How did things come to this…” Lin Che said, “He’s taken it a little too far. Marriage isn’t a game.”
“Marriage is probably a mere tool for him. Forget it. He promised me that I can continue working, but I have to take some etiquette lessons or something every day. Seriously… I think I’ll be tortured to death.”
“Haha. You have to learn etiquette?”
“I didn’t expect this either. I think I returned all my studying brain cells to my teachers when I left school. I didn’t think that I would actually have to take lessons again.”
“Haha. Will you even have homework to do then? Bring it to me and we can do it together.”
“Go to Hell.”
She nudged Lin Che.
Right now, she did not feel anything in particular. It was probably because life simply required her to adjust to changing circumstances and she had gotten used this since she was young.
However.
Gu Jingming had said that she had never been in love and had never liked anyone. In actual fact… his investigations had obviously not been sufficiently thorough…
If he had been more meticulous, he might have found out that she had been to Australia a few years ago. She did not go there for any other purpose, but because… the boss of her former entertainment company had been shot dead there. Back then, she had stayed in Australia for a week before returning to C Nation.
But ultimately, he was already dead…

Lin Che was understandably shocked upon finding out about Yu Minmin’s affairs. However, Yang Lingxin was even more astounded. Her eyes followed Yu Minmin as Yu Minmin went off to work. She quickly came to Lin Che and asked, “Could it be true that Sister Minmin is about to become the President’s wife?”
“I’m not too sure about it either. But you must bear in mind not to tell anyone else this piece of news. Otherwise, you and I may not be able to handle any problems that may arise.”
Hearing this, Yang Lingxin nodded vigorously. “Okay, okay. I won’t tell anyone.”
Then, she simply said, “But Sister Minmin is so lucky.”
Lin Che said, “Silly girl. You’re only lucky if you get to marry someone you love and who loves you.”
Lin Che too hoped that Gu Jingming would treat her a little better.
She felt that Gu Jingming was a more aloof person. Although everyone called him a warm-hearted President, he just looked somewhat distant from even his closest relatives.
—
Yang Lingxin still felt envious. She looked at Lin Che and said, “It would be great if I could find such a good husband too.”
Lin Che wanted to add that in reality, something like marriage still depended on whether they had feelings for each other.
Wasn’t it better for marriage to come naturally after a relationship develops?
However, before she could even say anything, Gu Jingze called.
Lin Che recalled that she had promised to go out with Gu Jingze and left the company in a haste.
Gu Jingze picked up Lin Che and took her to dinner.
Recently, Gu Jingze seemed to be very busy and Lin Che could not bear to disturb him.
She looked at Gu Jingze and asked, “You seem to be very busy recently.”
Gu Jingze nodded. “That’s right. I’m working on some things.” He gazed at Lin Che and reached his hand out to pet her head. “After this busy period, I’ll take you out somewhere to have fun.”
“Really? Where are we going?”
“It’s up to you.”
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. “Then, are you busy with Older Brother’s marriage?”
Gu Jingze paused and looked at her. “Do you already know?”
Lin Che said, “Ah, yes… how did you know that I already know? I haven’t even said anything.”
Gu Jingze said in disbelief, “You’ve never asked about my work matters. Since you suddenly asked, it must mean that you already know.”
“Okay. But why did it turn out to be Yu Minmin?”
Gu Jingze said, “It just happened to be her. There’s no other reason.”
“But Older Brother has no feelings for her at all, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Don’t you think that’s a little too mean?!”
“This is what politics is.” Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. “We can’t help the fact that Yu Minmin has become a political sacrifice.”
“So what you mean is, after Minmin marries him, she may have to stay alone in an empty house?”
“That’s right.”
Lin Che pursed her lips. “You people are really too evil.”
Gu Jingze said, “There’s no turning back as regards this matter. If there was another solution, we wouldn’t have made such a decision either. But this matter has to do with whether Older Brother can be elected for a consecutive term and whether the citizens of this country will face any problems in the political regime. So, we’re indeed evil, but we don’t have any other choice.”
Lin Che’s heart sank immediately.
But there was no denying that a major issue like this could not be influenced by someone’s selfish personal desires.
Lin Che just felt a little sad for Yu Minmin.
“Besides, perhaps she doesn’t mind either. After all, at least she won’t have to worry about her material needs after becoming the President’s wife.”
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze.
Was this what he thought too? That a marriage without love was fine if one’s basic necessities were provided for?
Lin Che said, “Minmin isn’t such a person. If she really cared about having her needs taken care of, she wouldn’t have continued working as an ordinary manager.”
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. “Fine. Anyway, with that pig-brain of yours, everyone is a good person in your eyes.”
“That’s not true. In my eyes, you’re the worst,” Lin Che hummed.
Gu Jingze’s eyes twitched. He gazed at her and spoke next to her ear, “Tell me. How have I been bad?”
