President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 230

“Why?” I was a little confused.

He looked at me with a deeper smile. “Because I think I know more about pregnant women' precautions, especially their diet.”

My face burned a little when he said it.

Indeed, I was pregnant a few times, but I really don’t know much about what pregnant women should pay attention to.

We walked round the beach.

It was not until the sky was getting dark that we went to the BBQ place.

If it were not for Jessie, I might not be here today.

But because of this beautiful face, I felt confident.

When Ming and I showed up at the barbecue, there were already a lot of people in the scattered seats.

There was a waiter on the side for the barbecue and we just needed to take the plate to get food and drink.

The first time Ming helped me get it, he specifically told me not to eat seafood. As for the drink, he just helped me get a glass of orange juice.

There was a band playing nearby.

It was all so quiet and beautiful, and if it was not Sean’s wedding, I could really enjoy it.

I finished my orange juice and watched the others around me drinking champagne.

For a moment, I wanted to drink champagne a little, so I went to the food counter with the glass.

When my hand fell on the champagne glass, Ming grabbed me by the wrist and said, “Pregnant women can not drink alcohol.”

“But champagne...”

“Not even champagne with a low alcohol content.” Ming said and handed me a glass of mango juice. “I just saw your eyes on the cocktail at the table next to you, and I knew that you want to come and get champagne.”

Looking at the champagne in front of me, I was reluctant.

He gently shaved my nose, “Good. When the baby is born, I can go with you to the bar and you can order anything.”

He sounded like he was trying to coax a kid.

I looked up at Ming.

The dim yellow light shone on his face, and he was slightly smiling. A pair of sharp eyes seemed very gentle now.

I stared at him quietly.

He looked a little embarrassed and touched his face, “What’s wrong? Is there anything on my face?”

“No.” I smiled. “I just thought you’re really handsome.”

As soon as Ming heard me say so, he smiled and said, “I am an old uncle now. I am not handsome.”

“Then you are a handsome uncle!”

I didn’t know why, in front of Ming, I really felt like I was a little girl.

I took the mango juice and walked to my seat in a relaxed mood.

The band’s music performance suddenly changed into a dream wedding.

At the same time, all the guests stood up and looked at one direction.

I also looked at that direction.

Sean and Cindy appeared at the entrance to the BBQ. Unexpectedly, Sean wore a fancy clothes, while Cindy was wearing a colorful bohemian dress.

Their clothes were definitely couple’s dress.

Sean never seemed to have worn anything like this before, but now he was willing to wear it for Cindy...

I couldn’t think any further.

The more I think about it, the more painful I felt.

I saw Sean walking towards to us, as if he wanted to get food. I was so scared that I wanted to avoid meeting him, but I didn’t notice the floor lamp beside my feet.

So I fell forward.

“Be careful.” I heard Ming’s voice, meanwhile, he walked over to me and supported me.

I did not fall, but a lot of the mango juice in my hand spilled on his clothes.

“I am sorry.” I was so scared that I set the cup aside, picked up the paper from the counter on the side, and wiped the juice for Ming.

But the yellow color of this mango juice immediately stained his clothes.

If I rubbed it, it will only make the yellow dye faster.

When I was cleaning the juice for Ming, I just felt cold in the back...

I turned my head and found that Sean was looking at us. Although there was no expression on his face, the deep black eyes seemed to be brewing a stormy sea!

Then Ming, standing beside me, suddenly grabbed my hand and said with a smile, “Don’t rub it. I will go back and change my clothes. Will you go back with me?”

“Ah?” I looked at Ming, and my first reaction was to get my hand back because I was afraid Sean would misunderstand our relationship.

I thought I was funny for a second.

He was going to marry another woman. How could he possibly come to be jealous for me?

I froze my hand and let Ming hold it and smiled. “Okay, I will go back with you.”

After that, we tried to leave from Sean’s direction.

Well, there was only one exit.

When we were about to leave the house-

“Uncle.”

I heard Sean’s voice behind us.

I heard his voice. I didn’t know why I was stunned and I can’t move.

Ming next to me said. “Sean, happy wedding.”

“Thank you, uncle.”

Maybe it was the wedding, and Sean didn’t want to argue with Ming.

His voice just sounded a little cold.

I could feel his eyes should only be on me.

At this moment, I didn't even have the courage to look up. I was afraid that when I saw him, my tears would fall down.

I heard Sean say, “It seemed I was right. Uncle really care my ex-wife.”

When he said the word ‘ex-wife’, he meant to say it very clearly.

My heart seemed to have been hit hard.

Yeah, I had a marriage with him.

It was not long ago, but I felt like it happened a century ago.

I felt Ming’s arm fall on my shoulder, and he said in a gentle voice, “Sean, since you are married, you should be responsible to Miss Lewis. Do not think about the past. As for June, I will take care of her for you.”

After hearing what he said, I saw that Sean’s clenched his hands into fists.

He was angry.

How could Sean’s possessiveness allow me to belong to someone else?

I was going to push Ming’s hand away so that Ming did not get involved.

Before I moved, I heard Sean say, “So, uncle should take good care of her. If something goes wrong, I’ll just ask you!”

When he was finished, he turned and left.When I saw him leave, I dared to look up.

I looked at his back, and my tears fell unconsciously.Ming did not take his arm off at this time, but gently patted me on the back. “I know you feel bad and want to cry. You need to come back to the room and then cry for a while, but you can’t cry here, otherwise you will not be beautiful.”

“Okay.”

I buried my head deep in Ming’s chest and nodded desperately.

He was getting married. The bride was not me. My heart ached at the thought of it.

My heart hurt.
