The Beautiful Wife Of The Whirlwind Marriage Chapter 391 - Actually, I’m The One Engaged To Gu Jingming

After going in, a maid in the Glazed Tile Palace said to Yu Minmin, “Miss Yu, this way, please. This will be your living quarters in the future. Mr. President has said that you can walk around this area as you wish. There’s a study room over there where the teacher will give you daily lessons.”

Yu Minmin asked, “What do I need to learn?”

“Miss Yu needs to learn traditional etiquette, diplomatic formalities, English, French, cla.s.sical literature, art appreciation…”

“Wait. I have to learn all of this?”

“That’s right, Miss Yu…”

The people here, whether male or female, were all dressed in the same black uniform. However, there were more women than men. It seemed that all of them were specifically selected to be here. Each one of them was very good-looking with not a hair out of place. They walked very quickly but with steps so light that they did not make a single sound.

It was Yu Minmin’s first time exposed to life in the Glazed Tile Palace. For a moment, she stood there in a daze.

“What are you looking at?” Just then, a cold voice traveled from behind her.

Yu Minmin turned around.

Mr. President was already standing at the door.

At least inside the Glazed Tile Palace, he didn’t have so many personal guards and government officials trailing behind him. However, he continued to display a completely gloomy and indifferent figure.

Yu Minmin asked, “Do I need to learn so many things?”

“It’s not that easy to be the First Lady. When you agreed to do it, you should have understood that you would have to take on great responsibilities in the future.”

“Alright then. It’s not that I don’t want to learn either. I’m just a little surprised,” Yu Minmin said.

Gu Jingming looked Yu Minmin up and down in her casual clothes. “In the future, a professional will a.s.sist you with your clothes.”

“Do you mean a stylist?”

“I guess you can say so.”

“I don’t think that’s necessary. I only dressed slightly more casually today. If there’s really a formal event, I’ll dress more formally.”

“Whatever the occasion, there can’t be any design elements on your clothes, your body, or accessories that could result in a misunderstanding or incite trouble. I’m sure you know that the Secretary of State attended an event last year with an accessory that seemed to belong to another faction and was consequently asked to resign.”

Yu Minmin froze.

She instantly recalled the incident. With her lips pursed, she suddenly felt a heavy weight in her heart. If she moved into the Glazed Tile Palace, one big change would be… that each and every one of her moves would become a huge issue that could affect the political regime. Her actions would no longer be small issues that could be easily dealt with.

Gu Jingming immediately put an information card in front of her. “We’ll announce the wedding in a month and hold the wedding three months later. You’ll appear before the public for the first time when we announce the wedding date. Remember to at least have some semblance of a woman when that time comes. We won’t hope for you to carry yourself like a First Lady.”

“…” Yu Minmin s.n.a.t.c.hed the information card from him. She looked at some of the convoluted schedules on it, the data that had to be prepared, and the time allocated for studying. Each item was arranged in a machinated manner.

“Hey. Don’t you think the time is a little too tight? I still can’t get used to it…”

“I’m only informing you, not discussing it with you,” Gu Jingming interrupted.

Yu Minmin’s face stiffened slightly. She knew that he probably hated her.

“Alright. I’ll try my best to get used to it.”

Gu Jingming glanced at her one last time before turning around.

However, his steps slowed down in the middle. He stood rooted to the ground and turned his head around.

“I can’t promise you anything. I can only tell you that I’ll let you have your freedom if one day you start your own life.”

Yu Minmin froze.

Gu Jingming said, “I’ve conducted an investigation on you. You’ve never been a relations.h.i.+p, never had a boyfriend, and never liked someone, right?”

Yu Minmin nodded silently.

Gu Jingming merely said coolly, “You should be thankful.”

When he finished speaking, he had already begun to walk straight out.

That night, Yu Minmin moved into the Glazed Tile Palace.

The maid delivered some clothes and her luggage to her. The silk pajamas were extremely comfortable on her skin.

She called her mother to tell her that she would not be going back tonight. When her mother asked for the reason, Yu Minmin did not know how to respond and could only say, “I… I’m just working.”

It was normal for her to work late and she sometimes spent the night in the company as well. Thus, her mother did not say anything else and told her to rest more.

However, as she lay in a room that was more luxurious than any other room she saw before and looked through the window at the guards of the Glazed Tile Palace walking around, she was instead unable to fall asleep no matter what she did.

—

The next day.

According to the news reports, the President’s future wife had already moved into the Glazed Tile Palace to learn ceremonial etiquette and was making preparations to become the most admired First Lady of this century.

Naturally, the reason she was called the most admired First Lady of the century was because the current President was really outstanding and exceptionally handsome. Even if he was not the President, he would have definitely captivated all the women around him no matter where he was. What’s more, he happened to actually be the President.

Lin Che watched everyone make torrid speculations about the exact ident.i.ty of the President’s wife on television.

Beside her, Yang Lingxin asked, “Sister Che, you’ve never met her either?”

Lin Che said, “Older Brother seldom returns to the Gu residence and in reality, we don’t go there often either. So I’ve actually never met her.”

“That’s such a pity. I wanted to know who exactly the President’s future wife is. Oh my, although Mr. President is a little on the older side and isn’t as handsome nor as charming as Gu Jingze, he’s still ultimately the most handsome President in history. I really want to know who the lucky girl is.”

Lin Che smiled. While she was a little curious as well and did not know who Gu Jingze’s older brother had ended up with, right now she was just concerned about why Yu Minmin had not arrived.

Just then, Yu Minmin finally called her.

She said that she was outside the company and might have to make a few alterations to her job scope.

However, when Lin Che and Yang Lingxin went out, they saw that two of the President’s personal guards were trailing behind Yu Minmin.

The President’s personal guards dressed differently from the Gu family’s guards. The Gu family’s guards had blue handkerchiefs in the breast pockets of their black uniforms whereas the President’s personal guards wore breastpins signifying their status as his personal guards.

Lin Che froze.

Yu Minmin said through clenched teeth, “In the future, I may not be able to appear in front of the camera to help you make statements. Instead, I’ll plan more behind the scenes. I’ll hire a personal a.s.sistant for you and continue to be your manager. But I’ll have to hand over certain external tasks to other people.”

Lin Che looked at her in surprise. “Yu… Yu Minmin, you…”

Yu Minmin knew that she could not hide the truth and had no choice but to ask, “Have you heard about the President’s upcoming engagement?”

“Yes, I’ve heard about it.”

“The person that Mr. President is about to get engaged to is me…”

“What?”

“What?”

Both Lin Che and Yang Lingxin looked at Yu Minmin in shock. They really felt as if they were momentarily frozen.

Yu Minmin looked at Yang Lingxin. “It’s a long story. In any case, my job scope will be slightly changed.”
