Chapter 403 - Chapter 403 Chapter 402 Senior Brother Moves to the Capital

Chapter 403: Chapter 402: Senior Brother Moves to the Capital City Chapter 403: Chapter 402: Senior Brother Moves to the Capital City Yanxi cast a glance at Ming Yao standing beside Gu Siting and hooked his thin lips into a faint sneer, “Even if it’s for your heart, you should be a bit nicer to Sister Shi Ying, right? Moreover, she is your great benefactor!”

“Yanxi, there’s no need to make Fourth Brother feel morally blackmailed.”

Yanxi snorted coldly, “I think Fourth Brother is so bewitched by Ming Yao that he can’t see what’s truly important!”

Ming Yao was infuriated by Yanxi’s words.

They say it’s better to demolish ten temples than to destroy one marriage; now, she wished she could immediately make Xia Yiwan stay far away from him!

Ming Yao naturally did not want Gu Siting to end up with a reputation for being unkind and unjust.

Yanxi had a point, Shi Ying was Gu Siting’s benefactor, and he should be nicer to her.

“You go send Miss Shi off, I’ll leave first!”

Gu Siting grabbed Ming Yao’s hand, “Don’t take Yanxi’s words to heart.”

Ming Yao pulled her hand away from Gu Siting, “If it weren’t for Wanwan, I wouldn’t bother to give him a second glance.”

Ming Yao left the private room.

Not long after she walked out, she saw Huo Ci, Liu Wushuang, and a group of students from Class 2023 standing nearby, secretly looking in their direction.

“What are you all doing standing here?” Ming Yao asked with curiosity.

Huo Ci smacked Haozi’s head, “Haozi said he saw Teacher Ming being pulled into a private room by a man, claiming that the man is Teacher Ming’s boyfriend. Everyone was curious and wanted to see what Teacher Ming’s boyfriend looked like.”

“Teacher Ming is like a fairy; she isn’t someone that any joker can match up to.”

Looking at the gossiping students, Ming Yao extended her hand and pushed them, “All of you, get going, your Teacher Ming doesn’t have a boyfriend!”

Huo Ci knocked on Haozi’s head, “I told you, you saw wrong. Teacher Ming is so fierce, which man would dare to hold her hand?”

Ming Yao raised her eyebrows, “Classmate Huo, am I that fierce?”

A woman who could knock him down? How could she not be fierce?

Of course, Huo Ci didn’t dare to say it out loud.

He scratched his scalp, “Anyway, you don’t have anything to do with being gentle. Wushuang is the gentle one.”

Liu Wushuang blushed and glared at Huo Ci.

Ming Yao and the group of students reached the restaurant’s entrance when suddenly someone spotted Gu Siting and a few men stepping out.

Huang Hao pointed at Gu Siting, “Hey, the man I saw earlier is that tall and long-legged one in the middle.”

Ming Yao tapped Huang Hao’s head, “You saw wrong!”

Gu Siting, seeing Ming Yao and the group of students together, was about to go forward and greet them, but Ming Yao did not even give him a glance and left with the students.

Yanxi urged Gu Siting, “Fourth Brother, look, Sister Ying is hailing a cab over there, you better drive up quickly!”

Gu Siting got into the Bentley and drove the car up to where Shi Ying was.

As Ming Yao and the group of students walked a distance, Huang Hao spoke again, “Maybe I did see wrong; that handsome guy drove away with another woman.”

“Not gonna lie, that woman was pretty good-looking too!”

Huang Hao had barely finished speaking when Huo Ci gave him a fierce kick.

“No matter how pretty she is, can she be as beautiful as our Teacher Ming?”

“Heh, no, no.” Huang Hao rubbed the leg that hurt from being kicked and muttered, “Brother Ci, you’ve been increasingly protective of Teacher Ming lately. Has she beaten you up too badly?”

“Get lost!”

Being with a group of youthful and vibrant students, Ming Yao felt she herself had become several years younger.

Beep–

Suddenly, a Maybach pulled up in front of Ming Yao.

The car window rolled down, revealing Jing Hang’s handsome and bewitching face.

Seeing Jing Hang, the students started to make a commotion again.

“Wow wow wow, this must be the real deal! The handsome guy is really stylish too!”

Jing Hang recently dyed a streak in his hair and dressed in a very fashionable and trendy manner, sporting anti-slip chain gold wire-frame glasses and chewing gum, looking indeed trendy and handsome.

Ming Yao watched the students competing eagerly to get a clear look at Jing Hang, feeling a throbbing pain in her temple.

“Enough, everyone, this is your teacher’s younger school brother!”

“A school brother can also become a boyfriend, right!”

Seeing the fuss, Jing Hang simply pushed open the car door and got out, letting the students have a good look.

As Jing Hang didn’t seem embarrassed at all, the students finally believed that he might really be just Teacher Ming’s younger school brother.

Because they couldn’t detect a spark of chemistry between them.

“Teacher Ming, could it be that you’re usually too fierce, scaring all the men away?”

Ming Yao cast a warning glance at Huo Ci, “Don’t talk nonsense, anyone who is scared away by your Teacher Ming isn’t worthy of your Teacher Ming, right?”

“That’s right, that’s right. When you really have a boyfriend, bring him to the school so we can screen him for you!”

Ming Yao looked at the students who were taking charge of her personal affairs and helplessly waved her hand, “Stop the chatter, I’m leaving now, and you should all be safe on your way back.”

“Okay, goodbye Teacher Ming.”

“Be gentle, Teacher Ming, and try to find a satisfactory boyfriend soon!”

Ming Yao, “…”

After the students left, Jing Hang opened the rear car door for Ming Yao.

Ming Yao bent down to get in but froze as soon as she did.

Because there was someone else sitting in the backseat.

A man with the elegant and refined presence of a Banished Immortal sat quietly in the back, his long legs elegantly crossed and his distinctively jointed jade fingers lightly tapping on his knee.

Seeing Ming Yao stunned, the man spoke with a refined tone, “Surprised to see me?”

Ming Yao snapped back to reality, closed the car door, and sat leaning against the window.

Jing Hang also got into the driver’s seat, glanced back at the man and woman in the back who seemed worlds apart, and shook his head helplessly.

“Xiao Yao, I’ve moved to the capital.”

Ming Yao’s eyes widened, “Senior Brother, you didn’t have to…”

“Apart from you, there are other matters. In recent years, Country C has developed rapidly, and it’s time for the Tang Sect to expand its business here.”

Ming Yao pursed her lips and said nothing.

Seeing the somewhat stiff atmosphere between the two in the backseat, Jing Hang hastily smoothed things over, “Sister, don’t feel too burdened. Senior Brother is so busy that even if he moves to the capital, he might not be able to stay for many days. Just think of it as him coming for a vacation.”

Yun Zhuo gave Jing Hang a faint look.

Yun Zhuo had an air of cold elegance about him; even when angry, he didn’t make a show of it, making it impossible to perceive any change in his emotions.

But that faint glance carried an inexplicable deterrence and oppression.

Jing Hang immediately mimed zipping his mouth shut.

Yun Zhuo looked at Ming Yao, “If you have time, could you show Senior Brother around here?”

Ming Yao thought for a moment, then nodded, “Okay.”

As she spoke, it seemed as though she remembered something and looked at Yun Zhuo’s face.

In the dim light, she saw traces of bruising on the peerless face of Senior Brother.

Probably, only Gu Siting could have caused harm to Senior Brother.

It looked like the two of them really had a fierce fight that day!

“Jing Hang, take Senior Brother to the hotel first!”

Yun Zhuo looked at Ming Yao, “Let’s drop you off first.”

When they arrived at Ming Yao’s residential area, she waved goodbye to Jing Hang and Yun Zhuo, “Then I’ll be going now.”

She walked into the elevator and was about to press the button to close the door when a slender hand reached in.
