Chapter 581 - 578: Drunk Yaoyao

Chapter 581: Chapter 578: Drunk Yaoyao

Little Orange saw the red wine that Lu Zhou brought over and said with a giggle, "Are Daddy and Mommy going to have more wine? It’s so romantic!"

Ming Yao tapped Little Orange’s head lightly, "What do you know about romance?"

"Of course, I know! When we were on the island, Uncle Si Ye arranged a candlelight dinner, and all the uncles said Uncle Si Ye was so romantic!"

When Little Orange mentioned Si Ye, Gu Siting’s jealousy overturned like a jar of vinegar.

"Besides the candlelight dinner, what else did Si Ye do for your mommy?"

Little Orange tilted her little head and said in a milky voice, "Uncle Si Ye planted a whole field of medicinal herbs for mommy, and every time he came back from a business trip, he brought mommy lots and lots of gifts."

Gu Siting pursed his thin lips, "What, does he come and go as he pleases on Tang Sect Island?"

"Not really, someone always went to pick up Uncle Si Ye."

Seeing Gu Siting’s tense features and piercing black eyes, Little Orange leaned to Ming Yao’s ear and whispered, "Mommy, daddy must be jealous, right?"

Ming Yao was speechless.

The little girl was still so young but knew how to stir people up!

But after this hot pot meal, he said he would not entangle with her anymore; surely he would not take too much to heart whatever she and Si Ye had once had, right?

Suppressing the feeling of annoyance in his heart, Gu Siting poured a glass of wine each for himself and Ming Yao.

Ming Yao wasn’t one to be coy; she lifted her glass and clinked it against Gu Siting’s.

"I’m going to down it in one go, you take it at your own pace," Gu Siting said, tilting his head back and draining the glass.

Ming Yao looked at the man’s profound and piercing features, feeling a turmoil of emotions inside her.

He was a man of his word; if he said he would not entangle with her anymore, he probably wouldn’t, right?

Although this was the outcome she wanted, deep down, she couldn’t help feeling a vague sense of loss.

She lowered her gaze and finished her drink in one go just as he had.

No sooner had she finished her drink than he poured her a second one.

Ming Yao had a fairly good tolerance for alcohol, but perhaps it was the wine Lu Zhou brought; it had a high alcohol content, and after a few glasses, her head started spinning.

After the hot pot, Ming Yao’s head swirled with dizziness and confusion.

But she still remembered that Little Orange was there, "Baby, you go take a bath on your own later, okay?"

Compared to Ming Yao’s tipsy haze, Gu Siting was much soberer.

He made a phone call, and soon after, Aunt Zhong appeared from the next-door apartment.

After Little Orange had her bath, Aunt Zhong read her a story, and soon after, Little Orange fell asleep.

Aunt Zhong stepped out of the room and saw Ming Yao lying on the coffee table; she then glanced at Gu Siting, who was smoking on the sofa, and said softly, "Fourth Master, the Little Princess is asleep."

Gu Siting got up and went to the room to check on Little Orange.

The little girl lay on her stomach, her face turned to one side, her lips pursed, breathing quietly and evenly.

Looking at the little girl’s soft and tender appearance, Gu Siting felt an involuntary softness in his heart.

He lifted his large palm and gently stroked Little Orange’s head, "Take her over to the next-door apartment."

Aunt Zhong hesitated.

"Fourth Master, Yaoyao is drunk, don’t take advantage of her vulnerability, it will only make things between you two more strained."

Gu Siting tugged the corner of his mouth into a half-smile, "Aunt Zhong, she used to take advantage of me when I was vulnerable, so why can’t I do the same now?"

Aunt Zhong, "..."

Gu Siting had an imposing presence; when he made Aunt Zhong carry Little Orange away, she did not dare to defy his orders.

She carried Little Orange over to the next-door apartment.

Gu Siting went to the living room and cleared the coffee table.

After cleaning up, he reached out his long arms to help the woman lying on the coffee table.

Ming Yao staggered toward the bedroom.

"Little Orange..."

"Little Orange is already asleep, don’t wake her," he said.

Ming Yao raised her long lashes and glanced at the man supporting her.

Why does he look somewhat familiar to her?

"You look like Gu Siting!"

Gu Siting mmm-ed in a low voice.

The next second, the woman pushed away the arm he was using to support her.

"People who look like Gu Siting are all extremely annoying."

Gu Siting’s handsome profile turned utterly dark.

He lowered his eyes to look at the woman who wasn’t sober, "If Gu Siting is annoying, then who do you like?"

If she were to mention Si Ye, he didn’t know what he would do next?

"Men are no good, Gu Siting is, Yanxi is, Fu Yunshen is too, all said and done, only the men from Tang Sect are reliable!"

Ming Yao lay powerlessly on the bed.

Gu Siting stood by the bed, looking at the woman with tightly furrowed brows; he lifted his slender fingers to smooth out the wrinkles between her brows and eyes.

Looking at her fair and slightly blushing little face, he bent down, and his thin lips landed on her forehead.

Ming Yao wasn’t sleeping too deeply; she opened her hazy eyes and saw the man close at hand, her pupils constricting.

"Gu Siting?"

Hearing her call him made Gu Siting’s heart suddenly thump.

It felt like he had done something bad and was caught red-handed.

Ming Yao squinted her drunken eyes, her beautiful pupils still blurry. Suddenly stretching out her arms, she grabbed the collar of his shirt.

The distance between them closed abruptly.

"Gu Siting, how did you run into my dream?"

Gu Siting breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, she thought this was just a dream.

They were so close to each other that she could clearly smell his scent.

It seems only in dreams would she dare to indulge herself so freely.

Gu Siting watched the woman who lay submissively in his arms like a kitten, his Adam’s apple rolling, "Yaoyao, don’t tempt me!"

He already had little resistance to her.

Now that she was hugging his neck, lying submissively in his arms, he felt an unreal sensation as if he were dreaming.

"Go to sleep!"

He hadn’t actually thought about doing anything to her, at least, not while she was drunk.

He just hadn’t held her in his arms to sleep for a long time and wanted to hold her through the night until dawn.

But Ming Yao wouldn’t sleep; she rolled twice on the bed.

"I want to take a bath..."

Gu Siting gently patted her head with his large hand, "Be good, you can bathe when you wake up tomorrow morning."

"No, I want to bathe now."

Gu Siting had no choice but to go to the bathroom to run the bath water, and after filling the tub, he carried her over.

Ming Yao half-closed her eyes as she gazed at the man, "Only in dreams would Mr. President serve me like a servant, right?"

Gu Siting, "..."

Ming Yao raised her hands, "Help me take off my clothes."

Gu Siting’s brows knitted tightly, "Are you sure?"

"If you don’t obey, do you believe I’ll fire you?" she said, her demeanor that of a queen.

Gu Siting couldn’t help but find her manner somewhat amusing.

After the bath, Ming Yao wanted a drink of water.

Gu Siting went to the living room to pour her a glass of water; she took a few sips, and a few drops trickled down the corner of her mouth.

Seeing her action as she lightly licked the corner of her mouth, Gu Siting didn’t want to hold back any longer. His tall body pressed directly towards her, and his thin lips also captured hers.
