1550 All I Want to Do Now is to Grow Old With You
Gu Jingze said, “Since he’s happy like this, then let it be.”
“What about Niannian…”
“There are still many years to go. We’ll talk about it in the future. Now the important thing is to find someone to replace our brother.”
“I don’t know who can take over for the moment.”
“I’ll start picking the candidates.”
…
Though this news was not officially out, many in the internal department had already gotten wind of it.
The good thing was, the citizens of C Nation were quite accepting. The President would not have any more power. Instead, it was more of an honor and being a symbol.
The citizens probably knew that his fans would definitely cry over the most charming President’s resignation in history.
The people outside could only sigh. They did not expect that Gu Jingming would be someone of unreasoning passion.
One could not tell that he would choose his wife and children over the Presidential seat with him being so suave.
However, no matter what, he was still the eldest young master of the Gu family. If he stopped being the President, he could still do other things.
Everyone was speculating discreetly.
“I thought that with some persuasion, he could care a little less about Madam. I didn’t think that after our persuasion that day, he would immediately give up the Presidential seat and go with Madam.”
“To the President, you can’t say that it’s a relief. It’s been too difficult recently. Madam’s parents even passed away. The pressure’s immense.”
“Yeah. Maybe it’s better to just float around like clouds.”
“Yes, it’s a good thing for Madam as well. Even if he’s no longer the President, he’s had enough of it. He would have more time to accompany Madam in the future… To be honest, I really envy Madam. She has such a great husband who would give up so many things for her… Actually, what do we women pursue at times…”
“Yeah, who would have thought that Madam would have such fortune.”
However…
Yu Minmin backed off from the person beside her.
“Madam, your bones haven’t recovered yet. Don’t walk off on your own.” A few maids quickly called out and chased after Yu Minmin, who was walking swiftly ahead.
Yu Minmin’s eyes were red. “Move aside, all of you. Leave me be.”
“Madam…”
“Get lost, do you hear me?!”
A few of them stepped aside for the moment after getting scolded.
They worried about her wellbeing, but they could not defy orders.
Yu Minmin dragged herself and pushed open the big door.
She saw Gu Jingming standing at where the big window was, with a hand to the wall.
This was the best spot in the Glazed Tile Palace, where one could see outside.
It was a plot of C Nation’s land that looked so vast.
Yu Minmin felt sad.
“Jingming, you…”
Gu Jingming turned his head around and gleamed when he saw Yu Minmin.
“What are you doing here?”
He looked at the maids behind with some reprove.
Yu Minmin said, “No, I wanted to come on my own. They tried to stop me, but I insisted on coming.”
“Minmin…”
Yu Minmin said, “Why, Jingming? How can you resign… You’ve been doing it for so long, and you haven’t completed a lot of things…”
Gu Jingming held her hands. “Silly, I only have one thing that’s unfinished now.”
It startled Yu Minmin. “What?”
“To grow old with you.”
“…”
Yu Minmin’s heart immediately went soft.
Gu Jingming pulled her and let her nest in his arms.
Both leaned on the chair and looked out of the window.
Yu Minmin said, “Let’s leave this place after you resign.”
“Yes.”
“How long have you lived here?”
“More than ten years.”
“Was it 18 years?”
“About there.”
“Will you be able to adapt?”
Gu Jingming said, “You mean moving out? Yeah. With you all around, anywhere is home.”
entire lives”I’ll get someone to get a good location where we can see the sea but not be exactly by the sea. Wouldn’t it be better if our entire family lived there?”
Yu Minmin said, “Yes… But, won’t you regret it?”
Gu Jingming said, “I do. But I’ll regret it even more if you guys have to feel so displaced for your whole lives.”
Yu Minmin was moved beyond words. She hugged Gu Jingming tightly.
For unknown reasons, she was blessed to have Gu Jingming’s love.
She knew it was difficult for a man to do whatever he did.
That was a career that he had worked hard for half of his life. And yet…
He resigned just like that.
She kissed his lips and felt her soft heart making her tremble. She wanted to use her best to hug and pamper him.
From now on, he was no longer the President. He was just her husband.
So, she had to love him even more. She had to love him with everything she got.
She thought that this seemed to make her feel a little better.
While they were still choosing the new President, Gu Jingming had already started looking for temporary accommodation.
Since there were still a couple of matters to handle after his resignation, it was more convenient for him to live within B City.
Soon, Gu Jingming found a place. After which, he immediately got everyone over to have a gathering.
Gu Jingze and Lin Che brought their two children along. It was a double celebration with Yu Minmin’s son turning a full-month-old. The villa was filled with jubilation.
Gu Jingming and Yu Minmin chose the villa. It was on mid-levels and peaceful during the night. It was a little farther from the city but within reach an hour by car. There was not a lack of anything. The maids could also purchase groceries anytime.
The environment was pleasant, and there was a big rooftop patio. Though it was not as big as the Glazed Tile Palace, it was more than a thousand square meters. It was enough for the maids, guards, and a family of four.
Everyone was at the long table placed in the yard. They looked at Gu Jingming in casual clothing instead of his usual uniform. Lin Che told Gu Jingze, “Perhaps it’s true that this is the best for Brother.”
Gu Jingze nodded. “Yeah.”
Gu Jingze looked at Niannian.
He had not mentioned that in the future, they would groom Niannian as the next President.
Whether he became President depended on his developments in the future. However, it was necessary to groom him at an early age.
Gu Jingze said, “Alright, let’s go inside first.”
Yu Minmin looked at those who had arrived. She smiled. “Come in and sit. Niannian, Shiyuan, take whatever you want to eat.”
Lin Che said, “This place really isn’t too bad.”
Yu Minmin and Gu Jingming looked at each other. Their warm and innocent smiles made others envy them.
“Yes, the birds wake us up every day. It’s my greatest blessing.”
In the past, at the Glazed Tile Palace, they heard whistles every day, making things seem serious.
