Long Pei held a meeting with the think tank and had a brief discussion on the previous scandal of the president's wife and the current news of Mrs. Jin's death, and how to explain it to the people. As for several other policies that were about to be promulgated, because the previous events had been

It has been postponed. Considering that there have been too many negative news about the Presidential Palace recently, I decided to continue to postpone it. Now I must first make arrangements for the loss of Mrs. Jin and the handling of all scandals and crises.

No matter how good a politician is, there will be negative news to some extent. These negative news will make them pay more attention to politicians. As long as they can be covered with better and more powerful positive news, it will not affect Long Pei's political career at all.

Over the years, he has created a political network of his own. Even if someone deliberately wants to use negative news to sway him, it still depends on whether the ten major families in the Secret Court dare to take the risk and propose the abolition of the hereditary presidential system and make him step down.

The meeting took a full five hours, and they didn't even use lunch. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, so Long Pei paused the meeting and let them rest for thirty minutes while he went back to the office.

Gu Mingxi sat on the sofa and read quietly, with the book on his knees, his fingers slowly flipping through the pages, and his curled eyelashes caught the light coming in from the window, which was soft and soft.

Feeling that someone was looking at her, Gu Mingxi looked up and saw Long Pei standing at the door, "You had a long meeting." He didn't even take lunch or medicine.

When Long Pei saw her, his stern eyes couldn't help but soften, and his thin lips pursed lightly, "There have been too many delays these days, and it's more complicated than I expected. Did you have lunch?" Although he was in a meeting, he didn't forget it.

Instruct Banxia to deliver lunch to her on time.

She is so thin, every time I hold her with a little strength, I feel like I will break her bones at any time.

"I've eaten, but you haven't taken your lunch and medicine yet." Gu Mingxi stood up and went to pour him some water. Qian Shang, who was standing at the door, knocked on the door and said, "He only knows how to think about others. He doesn't care about others at all."

I don’t know how to take care of myself.”

The pronunciation of the word "other people" was particularly strong. Gu Mingxi knew that Qian Shang was talking about him, and there was a strange look on his face. Without saying anything, he handed the cup directly to him.

Long Pei's cold eyes swept over Qian Shang, and the warning was self-evident.

Qian Shang shrugged and placed the tray on the coffee table, "Take medicine twenty minutes after a meal. Although you have been discharged from the hospital, the wound has not healed yet, so you can't be too tired."

After saying that, his lips suddenly raised into a sneer. What he said was in vain. You'd be damned if you heard it.

Long Pei raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously displeased with Qian Shang's sneer. Qian Shang ignored it as if he didn't see anything, but glanced at Gu Mingxi meaningfully, hinting that she had a long way to go.

Gu Mingxi pretended not to see it and looked at Long Pei, "Have a meal."

Long Pei ignored Qian Shang and took Gu Mingxi's hand to sit down on the sofa. "Eat some more with me." She was really too thin.

Gu Mingxi shook his head, "I'm not hungry."

Long Pei glanced at her, didn't say anything, and just put half of the rice into an empty bowl and handed it to her.

Gu Mingxi looked at the hand he extended and didn't take it. He seemed to have made up his mind to ask her to eat it. She just kept holding it up if she didn't take it. She raised her bright eyes to look at his cold outline. She didn't seem to be so so at the moment.

He is dignified and solemn, more like a husband who is having trouble.

In the end, she couldn't resist him, so Gu Mingxi took the bowl. Although Long Pei didn't say anything, a smile clearly appeared on his brows. He thoughtfully handed her the chopsticks again, first gave her some food, and then began to eat slowly.

Gu Mingxi lowered his head to eat, but kept looking at Long Pei's handsome profile from the corner of his eye. Apart from his noble status as president, no matter where he was placed, he was still eye-catching, so perfect that people couldn't take their eyes away.

He doesn't know how to defend himself, and he won't talk sweet words like other men; but he will plant so many tea flowers silently, and he will remember to let you eat first in his busy schedule, and will make arrangements for you before you come.

Arrange yourself...I will bear the infamy for being with you in the storm, and I will push you away at the most dangerous moment...

The most touching words he ever said to himself were only once - tiamo!

If he was not Long Pei, not the president; if she was not Gu Mingxi, who did not set a fire in Longlin when she was eight years old, they would have met in this vast world and known each other, without so much hatred and entanglement, just plain and simple.

How wonderful it would be if we were in love together.

This thought flashed through his mind, and Gu Mingxi seemed to wake up suddenly, her heart trembling with pain. Her eyes retracted from the side of Long Pei's face, and her beautiful amber eyes flashed through complexity and entanglement.

What on earth were I thinking? How could I shamelessly imagine that they could live an ordinary life of love...

Long Pei ate calmly, pretending not to know that she had been peeking at him, but in fact he had caught every look on her face, including the trace of struggle and self-blame in her eyes.

He knew that she still couldn't cross that hurdle in her heart, and it didn't matter... He had a lifetime to wait for her to cross that hurdle in her heart, as long as she was still by his side.

The warm meal together was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door before it was over. Nan Si stood at the door with a solemn expression and his eyes were colder than usual.

"Your Excellency, just now the Qin family issued a statement questioning whether Mrs. Jin's death was strange. They even said that there were witnesses who proved that you deliberately failed to save Mrs. Jin, which led to Mrs. Jin's sudden death."

Long Pei's face quickly darkened, and his gloomy eyes shot at him coldly, "I'm not letting you handle it..." His words suddenly stopped when his peripheral vision caught sight of Gu Mingxi, who had a solemn face.
