Chapter 571: Chapter 568: You Still Have Me in Your Heart!

Before long, Gu Siting received a short video sent by Song Jiner.

In the video, Ming Yao and Si Ye were sitting with Little Orange at a KFC store by a floor-to-ceiling window.

Ming Yao was tearing open a packet of ketchup while Si Ye was wiping Little Orange’s mouth with a napkin.

Si Ye said something, and both Ming Yao and Little Orange burst into laughter.

The three of them were getting along quite harmoniously.

Gu Siting’s large hand gripping the phone unconsciously tightened its grip.

The butler of the Gu Residence brought Gu Siting a cup of coffee, and seeing his stern and grim profile, couldn’t help but shiver.

Ever since the Fourth Master became Mr. President, he had become more inscrutable; often a single glance was enough to make someone shudder without feeling cold.

As the butler set down the coffee, he caught a glimpse of Gu Siting’s phone screen from the corner of his eye.

Before he could see clearly, Gu Siting locked the screen, and his dark eyes glared at him.

The butler hastily bowed his head and left.

Gu Siting took a sip of coffee, which was very bitter, yet it was not as bitter as the taste in his heart.

He unlocked his phone screen again and watched that short video, his handsome face visibly darkening.

She was having such a good time with Si Ye!

Not just her, but also Little Orange!

The three of them looked like a real family.

He raised his hand and unbuttoned his shirt, as if this was the only way to breathe a little more easily.

His eyes lowered, his dark pupils as thick as ink concealed deep emotions.

...

After eating, Ming Yao took Little Orange back to her apartment.

Little Orange wouldn’t return to the Gu Residence tonight, as it had been a while since she had slept with her mommy, and she missed her mother’s embrace.

The little girl was tired from playing all day; after bathing, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Ming Yao looked at her daughter’s carved little face, and her eyes unconsciously softened.

After staring at her for a long time, Ming Yao got up from the bed.

She took a bath, came out in a champagne-colored slip dress, her slender white arms and delicate collarbone visible, and her slightly damp hair was laid over her shoulders, exuding endless feminine charm.

She took a towel and, while drying the drops of water from the ends of her hair, walked towards the living room.

A Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital had recently been put up for auction, and she had won it with the highest bid.

There was a lot of work to be done to take over the hospital, and Ming Yao planned to do some extra work at home.

She worked until around eleven o’clock at night.

Her arms were a bit sore; she leaned back on the couch and stretched languidly.

Just as she was about to get up to go to sleep, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Ming Yao walked to the door and peered outside through the peephole.

There was no one outside.

Ming Yao furrowed her brows and asked in a subdued voice, "Who’s there?"

No one answered.

The security in this neighborhood was relatively strict; it was unlikely that any bad people would get in.

But what she feared was that the Presidential Residence might send someone to attack her.

Although she was not weak in self-defense, dealing with the highly skilled forces of the Presidential Residence was not an easy task.

Moreover, Little Orange was in her apartment!

She hadn’t been in contact with Gu Siting recently; surely the Presidential Residence wouldn’t trouble her without a reason, right?

Ming Yao pursed her red lips, planning to walk towards the room, but before she took a few steps, the doorbell rang again.

Ming Yao looked through the peephole once more.

A tall and stern figure stood outside. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his narrow eyes bloodshot as if he had been drinking.

Gu Siting!

Why has he come again?

Ming Yao had no intention of opening the door, but the man clearly had no intention of leaving easily; if she didn’t open the door, he kept ringing the doorbell relentlessly.

"Ming Yao, I know you’re behind the door, open the door, I have something to say to you!"

Was he drunk late at night, coming here to make a scene?

"Whatever you have to say, say it tomorrow!"

"Ming Yao," the man’s voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of danger, "if you don’t open the door, I’m going to find Si Ye right now. He’s just a psychologist, even if I have someone kill him..."

Before he could finish, the door was opened.

Ming Yao didn’t want to let him in, so she stepped out and immediately closed the door behind her.

Standing in the corridor, he wouldn’t do anything to her.

The moment she came out, she caught the strong scent of alcohol and tobacco on him.

It was quite pungent.

Ming Yao frowned deeply.

Doesn’t he know his own stomach is in bad shape?

The heart he received needed good care, especially to quit smoking and drinking!

Realizing she was still worried about his health, Ming Yao mentally "ptooey ptooey" twice.

He and she were no longer related; even if he drank himself to death, what did it have to do with her?

Gu Siting saw that as soon as he mentioned Si Ye, Ming Yao opened the door, looking fearful that he might do something to Si Ye, causing a pain deep in his heart.

There was a time when she was just as anxious and concerned about him!

Gu Siting stared at her with his dark, deep-set eyes for a few seconds, then suddenly took a long stride towards her.

Ming Yao was forced to step back until her slender back pressed against the wall behind her!

"Gu Siting, if you have something to say, just say it, don’t get any closer to me..."

The man ignored her words, extended his arm, and gripped her slender shoulders.

His eyes swept over her delicate collar bone and the slightly heaving chest, his thin lips curled into a low, cold smile, "You took my daughter to meet him today, didn’t you?"

Ming Yao knew that Song Jiner had been following her, and she had not deliberately kept her whereabouts secret, so it was not strange for him to know what she did that day.

"Gu Siting, I’ve said that I’ve started a new life. During those years we were apart, Si Ye was always by my side."

Gu Siting’s long fingers pinched her chin, forcibly tilting her bright little face up, "Are you sure you want to anger me?"

"Gu Siting, don’t you understand human language? It’s over between us, stop... mmm!"

He bit her fiercely.

Ming Yao gasped in pain.

Her lips were bitten and bloodied, red streaks on both their lips. In the dim light, there was a mix of warmth, sensuality, and danger.

Ming Yao’s anger and humiliation surged as she raised her hand, ready to slap his handsome face.

But her hand only reached halfway before the man caught her slender wrist in his large palm.

"Yaoyao," Gu Siting lowered his head, his lips nearing Ming Yao’s ear, his breath spreading across her face, hot and piercing, "I apologize for the last time my father went to see you, and I assure you that I won’t make any more compromises."

Ming Yao pushed against his chest with both hands, "Gu Siting, I’ve already agreed to be with Si Ye..."

"You don’t even like him!" He said with absolute certainty.

Ming Yao had no chance to say anything before he took her hand and placed it on his firm and muscular chest.

"You still have me in your heart!"

Ming Yao was speechless.

This guy was still as overbearing and narcissistic as ever!

"How can you tell?" Unable to free herself from his grasp, she stopped trying, lifted her beautiful eyes, and gazed at him with a slight squint.

Gu Siting’s lips curled up slightly, "If Si Ye came to see you, would you come out dressed like this to meet him? Yaoyao, you’re only like this with me."
