Gu Jingming narrowed his eyes at Yin Suya.
Yin Suya looked at him and asked, "Do you really suspect me?" Do you?"
Gu Jingming hung his head low, but it could not hide his intense and sharp gaze.
Yin Suya had hardly seen him like this.
This side of him only showed when he was dealing with his political rivals.
But then, he was looking at her in that manner.
Yin Suya felt that he had changed. He even began to suspect her.
After some time, he recovered his usual composure and looked at Yin Suya."Sorry, Suya. I had no choice but to suspect everyone around me. I didn't want to suspect you, but there's a possibility, so I called you over."
"You've changed, Jingming, " uttered Yin Suya while looking at him.
"What?" asked Gu Jingming, shifting his eyes to look at her again.
"You weren't like this before." Yin Suya explained.
Gu Jingming furrowed his brows and said, "You have to understand that the circumstances are unlike before. I..."
"I didn't mean that you changed after becoming president, but the Gu Jingming whom I knew... Jingming, if I hadn't left in the first place... I should have agreed to be together with you..."
"Suya, " Gu Jingming interrupted her."We can't return to the past anymore."
Yin Suya took a deep breath and composed herself as if to get herself together again, "Sorry, I couldn't help it but to... Forget it. We are still friends, aren't we, Jingming?"
Gu Jingming nodded."Of course."
"All is well then, " she replied.
Gu Jingming smiled.
Gu Jingming felt his change too. He had become warier.
Why would he suspect Yin Suya?
But he knew very clearly that Suya had changed too.
Because she was lying.
That scent was her usual perfume. Evidently, she made this item. If it was Emmy, why would she use Suya's perfume to cover up the smell of the love drug? Even if it was not Suya who did it personally, she must have instructed Emmy in the process, because Emmy would not have known the specific perfume that Suya used. Besides, that perfume was personally created by Suya and she would make a huge bottle for herself every year.
He thought to himself, Suya had also begun to lie.
Therefore, it was not him who had changed.

Yu Minmin was in the midst of packing her things with the servants.
There were not many things that she brought along with her when she came, but A Nation gave her many presents and she had to bring them back.
Gu Jingming had returned. He opened the door and saw Yu Minmin.
"Oh, you came back at the right timing. Can you check if we missed out anything?" asked Yu Minmin.
"You can handle it." He entered the room looking at Yu Minmin and was about to say something when Linda burst through the door hurriedly, "Sir."
"What is it?" asked Gu Jingming.
"I just received some news. The typhoon has caused destruction to S City in the south and its islands. The landslide enveloped a village and an emergency evacuation is still undergoing in the heavy rain. The estimated casualties... is at about two hundred now, " said Linda.
Yu Minmin looked up from the back.
Gu Jingming's expression darkened. He gestured, "Get ready. We are going back."
"Yes, sir. The plane is ready."
Previously, they had mentioned that the typhoon might delay their flight. They did not expect the typhoon to cause some destruction.
Looking at the number of casualties, the situation was dire.
It was certain that Gu Jingming had to return to settle some matters. Without saying a word, she clapped her hands stood up.
She heard Gu Jingming said, "We will be landing directly at S City."
"Oh, okay."
There were a number of them leaving A Nation. At departure, the President of A Nation came to send them off personally. It was to express his apology to Yu Minmin and to C Nation.
The servants were reluctant to see Gu Jingming leave and were thinking that they had a President too...
But why was he so different from Gu Jingming?
It was a pity that he stayed for only a few days. They could not bear to watch him go.
The plane was heading straight for S City.
It was on the news that the president was deeply concerned after hearing the news and was on his way to S City after his visit to A Nation.
During the flight, Gu Jingming was busy handling the Nation's affairs. Lin and a few other officials were going back and forth, gathering information and devising solutions.
Yu Minmin felt out of place. When it came to such big matters concerning the nation, she could not contribute but only watched how busy everyone was. She felt guilty and being the President's wife was in vain. She could not even help with a single bit.
At the same time, she looked at Gu Jingming and admiration filled her heart. Working in such urgent situations, Gu Jingming was like a strategic warrior who was composed and unfazed in the midst of this chaos. He was definitely not losing his presence of a king.
Soon, they reached S Town. They got off the plane and was welcomed by the mayor.
It was still drizzling. Gu Jingming accompanied Yu Minmin to the hotel to put down their belongings. Gu Jingming told Yu Minmin, "The weather is bad. Don't go outdoors alone. I will be back soon."
"Hm, don't worry. Just take care of yourself, " replied Yu Minmin.
Gu Jingming pulled her closer and lowered his head to look at Yu Minmin.
He gently caressed her lips.
It was pouring heavily outside. It was perfect to lie in the cozy bed and to rip her open completely.
He kissed her lips and the touch had left her wanting for more.
With a lot of force, he sucked her lips into his, relishing every taste in her mouth and wishing to devour her completely before letting go of her.
Her lips turned numb, but that firm expression of his looked exceptionally attractive.
Caressing her, he said, "Wait for me."
Then, he opened the door and left the room.
It was only then when Yu Minmin realized that Linda was still there...
The convoy was in the room too.
That Gu Jingming...
However.
The rain was getting heavier and the island had most probably come to a halt. Besides the location where the landslide occurred, the other areas were also badly affected.
Yu Minmin watched the skies from the window and thought of Gu Jingming who was at the disaster areas. She could not help but felt unsettled within.
This unsettling feeling soon turned into reality...
Just as Yu Minmin was watching the television, there came breaking news from the scene.
The reporter's face was distorted due to the heavy storm.
"Bad news! The fearless Mr. President headed to the disaster areas to direct the rescue efforts personally. However, a landslide had just occurred again and we have lost all contact with the village. Mr. President... Mr. President was in the village and it is not clear if he is dead or alive..."
The remote control that was in Yu Minmin's hands fell to the ground with a thud.
Dead or alive...
Gu Jingming...
