Chapter 258 -257: A Hollow Feeling in My Heart
That night.
In a dark and luxurious bar.
On the black leather sofa sat several handsome figures.
Gu Siting was in the middle, his long legs lounging on the coffee table, his fingertips holding a glass of strong liquor, which he downed in one gulp.
Under the warm lighting, that angular and handsome face appeared profound and stern, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, mixed with unfathomable depth and gloom.
Yanxi and Fu Yunshen had both come.
Seeing Gu Siting continuously pour strong liquor down his throat, the two exchanged glances.
Yanxi had also watched the live broadcast of today’s medical competition.
He was quite shocked, never expecting Ming Yao’s medical skills to be so astonishingly brilliant.
“Fourth Brother, you should be happy, shouldn’t you? Ming Yao is not a simpleton but a medical genius. What kind of treasure of a girl did you actually marry?” Yanxi raised his eyebrows as he looked at Gu Siting, pretending not to be envious would be a lie!
Gu Siting’s gaze lowered, his features becoming all the more inscrutable.
After a long while, he finally spoke, “Before I knew her real identity, I thought I was worthy of her, but…”
He himself suffered from a serious psychological illness, while she was a medical genius, excellent and outstanding in every way. He, on the other hand, could be like a madman when emotions took control.
Could such a man really make her happy in the future?
Yanxi, seeing the always arrogant and proud Fourth Brother suddenly become so lacking in confidence, was somewhat surprised, “She is excellent, but Fourth Brother, you’re not bad either, right? She just won the medical competition this time; is she really more amazing than fox?”
What if she was the fox he had always been looking to find?
Gu Siting had considered this possibility, but Yanxi had not.
Because in his heart, Ming Yao and fox were still worlds apart!
“Fourth Brother, you don’t need to deprecate yourself. I think Ming Yao is more than worthy of you!”
A cold chuckle came from Gu Siting’s throat, “You don’t understand.” He put down his glass and stood up to leave.
Yanxi touched his nose, “Calling us out for drinks, and he leaves by himself?”
Fu Yunshen, who had been silent until now, also stood up from the sofa.
“Yunshen, where are you going?”
A cold, indifferent voice came from Fu Yunshen’s thin lips, “Going back to sleep with my woman.”
“Damn, when did you get a woman? When you were starting a business abroad, I heard you had hidden away a beautiful girl; it couldn’t be her, could it?”
Fu Yunshen pushed his rimless glasses up the bridge of his nose without saying a word, and with long strides, he left.
Yanxi, “…”
Each of them had a woman now; could it be that only he was left alone?
His mind unconsciously drifted to that night in the hotel, the naive girl who had taken the initiative to entwine with him, and his peach blossom eyes deepened.
Recalling some of the images he shouldn’t be thinking of, he found himself almost savoring the memory.
He slapped his own head hard and cursed in a low voice, “I’m seriously sick!”
…
The Shi Family.
Old Master Shi was still in a coma, and the current online public opinion was quite unfavorable to the Shi family.
Shi Yuan hurriedly found someone to handle the public relations.
It wasn’t until she had erased all the information detrimental to the Shi family that the blood in her body slowly started to warm up.
Sitting on the sofa, her fingertips were still trembling nonstop.
The plan for this competition was to ruin Ming Yao’s reputation so that she would be like a rat crossing the street, chased and beaten by everyone.
But the outcome turned out to be the opposite!
Even she had suffered for it, with countless private messages cursing her on Weibo.
The image she had worked so hard to cultivate was ruined in an instant.

Shi Yuan bit down on her lip hard, and soon she tasted the salty metallic flavor of blood.
All of this, she blamed on Ming Yao.
If she didn’t let her live in peace, she wouldn’t let her live in peace either!
Shi Yuan’s lips curled up into a sly grin, a malicious glint flickering in her eyes.
…
Late at night, the entire city had quieted down.
When Gu Siting returned to the small courtyard, Ming Yao was already asleep, hugging his overcoat.
He stood beside the bed, gazing upon the woman sleeping on her side through the moonlight that filtered in through the window.
Three thousand strands of black hair scattered across the pillow, her fair and delicate oval face no bigger than the size of a palm.
Her thick, long lashes fanned out like feathers.
He lifted his slender fingers, gently caressing her cheek.
Vaguely, he could feel the warm breath from her nose.
He watched her for a long while, and just as he was about to head to the bathroom, she suddenly grabbed his hand.
As if she was trapped in a nightmare.
“Don’t, don’t leave…”
Her voice carried a tinge of urgency, her long lashes trembling slightly as if she was about to awaken, yet she did not.
Gu Siting clenched his jaw, his voice low and hoarse as he asked, “Little Yao, who are you asking not to leave?”
But she did not speak again, turning over and falling back asleep.
Gu Siting bit his cheek, almost waking her to ask who exactly she did not want to leave.
But in the end, he managed to control his emotions.
He released her hand, and as he turned around, he heard her murmur softly, “Senior Brother…”
Gu Siting felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He stood frozen, his blood seemingly running in reverse.
It was hard to tell how much time passed before his lips curled into a cold sneer.
So, it was her Senior Brother she did not want to leave.
Half a month had passed since the two-month agreement they had signed.
In less than forty-five days, she would have to make a decision!
By then, she would no doubt leave with her Senior Brother without a second thought!
Gu Siting left the small courtyard with staggering steps.
The next day.
When Ming Yao awoke, she saw the empty space beside her bed and knitted her brows tightly.
Had Tyrant Gu not come back last night?
She wondered if it had anything to do with hearing Old Madam Gu pressuring Gu Siting to divorce her that day, for last night she had a terrible nightmare.
Gu Siting had listened to the old lady and divorced her. On the day they registered their marriage, Senior Brother also came.
He was pulling her away, but she refused to leave. However, Tyrant Gu did not even glance at her, leaving with Old Madam Gu and Shi Yuan without looking back.
Now awake, she still felt the desolation and sadness from the dream.
She asked him not to leave, but he never turned back.
In the end, Senior Brother took her back to the Tang Sect.
Ming Yao rubbed her head, disliking the suffocating sentiment weighing on her chest—it was too uncomfortable!
Looking at the dawn outside the window, she slowly exhaled a breath of relief.
Fortunately, it was just a dream!
Ming Yao got up from the bed, freshened up, and then Old Madam Fang’s servant came to call her to breakfast.
After breakfast, the butler notified Old Madam Fang that Old Master Fang wanted to see Ming Yao.
Ming Yao and Old Madam Fang went to Old Master Fang’s room together.
Old Madam Gu was in Old Master Fang’s room, wiping her tears without knowing what had been said.
“Ming Wan is my lifesaver too, and I planned to let her stay here for a few more days, but my sister-in-law disagrees…” Old Madam Gu’s voice was choked with sobs, “The issue during the last ancestral worship, I’m still frightened by it. I fear that Ming Yao is jinxing me; I feel uncomfortable at the sight of her, and only feel better when Ming Wan and Shi Yuan are by my side.”
Hearing Old Madam Gu’s words, Ming Yao’s heart couldn’t help but tighten.
It seemed that Old Madam Gu’s prejudice against her had still not been alleviated.
