President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 258

As soon as I opened the shopping app, he put his long finger on my hand. “I’m going to use it now.”

I looked up at him and didn’t understand what he meant.

He paused and continued, “go out with me and buy one.”

“President Jessop, I want to work.”

I refused decisively.

He seemed to have guessed that I would say that. He said quickly, “I’ll give you more time.”

I knew Sean would never give up.

I could do it.

It was only ten o’clock when I saw the time. If I went out now, Ming would be here when I came back.

“OK.”

I agreed.

Sean drove me to a separate store not far from the studio.

As soon as I went in, I found that this was a shop selling expensive tableware.

The tableware inside was placed one by one according to the series.

Seeing Sean coming in, a female manager immediately greeted him. “President Jessop, what do you want to see today?” When she saw me, she said, “do you bring your wife to choose tableware today?”

When the manager finished, I saw Sean smile.

“No, I’m an employee of President Jessop.”

I hastened to explain to the manager lest she misunderstood.

Sean didn’t seem to be in a bad mood after hearing it. He didn’t explain and said to the manager, “I want to buy a pair of coffee cups.”

A pair.

Even a fool knew what he meant.

The manager nodded, “I see!”

“I don’t need a coffee cup.” I looked at Sean and explained to him.

“This is employee benefits.”

Sean said casually.

By this time, the manager had asked the clerk to bring three sets of coffee cups.

Two of them were white. The other was black and red.

They were very visible.

The design of these three coffee cups wes very simple. Only a very small feature could show that they were a pair of cups.

“Which do you like?” Sean looked at me and asked.

“President Jessop, I’ll just use a mug. It’s a waste to use such a high-grade bone china cup for me.”

I said calmly.

I thought bone china cups were for rich ladies to drink afternoon tea.

When I refused, Sean put his hand on the black and red coffee cups and asked, “how about this pair?”

“President Jessop, you decide.”

I stood by and said.

“Well, I like it.” Sean put his hand on the set of black and red coffee cups.

The manager quickly praised him, “President Jessop, you have good taste. This is our new product this year, and it’s a limited edition.”

She said as she asked the waiter to pack it.

Sean asked me after the two cups were taken, “what else do you need? I will buy them together today.”

“No, President Jessop.” I said without hesitation, “I will go back after this project is finished. I don’t need to buy anything.”

When he heard what I said, he became obviously in a bad mood.

His dark eyes looked at me and he was a little depressed.

After a long time he said, “let’s talk about it later.”

The manager seemed to see Sean and I were in a bad mood so she didn’t dare to get close.

She stood far away.

Sean and I took a cursory look at this huge store.

To be honest, the porcelain in this shop was very nice. Most of them were white and decorated.

Sean didn’t stop me but stood by and looked at me.

I couldn’t see his face.

I went back to the studio.

It wasn’t long before Ming came.

He still took a big bento box. He came in and looked around and asked me, “where is he?”

“He was taking me to lunch. I took a taxi myself and came back.”

When I finished, I found Ming’s face a little disappointed.

He set some lunch boxes on the table. I could smell the food.

I sat down and looked at the four dishes in front of me. I couldn’t help but swallow, “Ming, your food is delicious at first sight. I can’t leave it anymore.”

Ming looked a little frustrated. “I’m a man, but I cook to keep you from leaving me. I sound like a failure.”

“Why?” I picked up the chopsticks and took a bite first. “This is what no other man has.”

Ming knew more than cooking.

He took good care of me. I didn’t seem to have to force myself to grow at all.

I didn’t think Sean would come back.

But as soon as I ate, the door of the studio was opened.

I looked back and saw Sean standing at the door. When he saw Ming and me, his deep eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice.

The corner of his mouth moved. “Uncle, you are so considerate.”

Ming saw Sean. This time he didn’t look happy either. “I cook for the woman I love.”

I was stunned.

I didn’t expect ming to be outspoken.

Sean came in. I had my back to him and could feel him walking behind me. Before I looked back, I felt his palm fall on my shoulder and he said, “uncle, I just want to tell you that I intend to pursue Becky formally.”

I stood up as he spoke. I pushed his hand off my shoulder and walked up to Ming and said coldly, “I don’t accept the pursuit of a husband with a wife.”
