Chapter 582: Chapter 579: An Unexpected Person Appears

Ming Yao’s gaze was hazy as she looked at the man who was close at hand, her delicate brows tightly furrowed.

Was this a dream?

In the dream, the man who was always domineering and assertive was gently kissing her.

Ming Yao nuzzled her small face into his neck, thinking that if this were only a dream, she would let the dream continue.

The morning sun shone through the gap in the curtains that had never been fully drawn, and the sleeping Ming Yao turned over only to find that she couldn’t move.

It seemed like an arm was wrapped tightly around her.

She opened her heavy eyelids and looked in front of her.

What met her eyes was the solid and muscular chest of a man.

There was a moment of confusion in Ming Yao’s mind; she had drunk too much last night, and even now, her temples throbbed with pain.

For a moment, she thought she was hallucinating.

She closed and then reopened her eyes, the well-defined chest of the man was still there.

Ming Yao suddenly widened her eyes.

Could it be that last night was not a dream?

Seeing the man still fast asleep beside her, she was shocked and nothing but shocked.

She was no naive girl, and naturally understood what had transpired between them the night before.

She had been so drunk last night as to be unconscious, she should not have been that wasted, right?

How could he take advantage of someone in such a state?

Ming Yao remembered what he had said the night before, that after drinking, they would end their entangled relationship, but it turned out to be a lie to deceive her!

This bastard of a man!

Ming Yao raised her hand, about to slap the man’s face.

But the next second, the man opened his eyes, and his large palm timely grasped her slender wrist.

He had woken up.

"Yaoyao, do you really want to hit me so early in the morning?" His voice was low and husky, exceptionally magnetic and hoarse as he’d just woken up.

Ming Yao glared at him indignantly, "Gu Siting, what do you mean? Did you deliberately get me drunk, or what?"

Gu Siting pursed his thin lips slightly, his large palm caressing Ming Yao’s flushed and angry face, "Yaoyao, are you sure that last night was entirely my fault? I had no intention of doing anything to you at first, but you were the one clinging to my neck and refusing to let go, I am a normal man."

Ming Yao angrily threw the pillow at him.

"Did you not say we would end our ambiguous relationship? What is this then?"

Gu Siting’s thin lips curved slightly, "I said to end the unclear relationship, for you to become my girlfriend, or wife."

Ming Yao, "..."

So, this was his intention.

"I’m so annoyed when I see you now, get away from me!"

Gu Siting let out a low chuckle, his long fingers gently stroked her small face, "Think about it seriously, I’m going to take a shower first."

He got up from the bed.

He hadn’t put on a shirt, only wearing long pants, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a pair of beautiful small wings on his shoulder blades, a truly perfect physique.

Ming Yao looked at him only for a moment before withdrawing her gaze.

She got up and put on her clothes, her heart a tangled mess.

Amidst her chaos of thoughts, she recalled some fragmented scenes from last night.

It seemed like she truly had clung to his neck, refusing to let go, and had commanded him like a queen to undress her.

Ming Yao raised her hands to cover her burning cheeks.

This was mortifying.

Rejecting a reunion with him on one hand while getting intimate with him when drunk on the other.

No face to see anyone.

Just as Ming Yao was consumed by her annoyance, the doorbell rang.

Ming Yao walked over and opened the door.

Little Orange stood at the doorstep rubbing her eyes, barely awake, her voice milky and sweet, "Mommy, why did I go to sleep in the next-door apartment last night?"

Ming Yao’s scalp tingled.

She didn’t know how to answer.

Little Orange blinked her big eyes, "You’re not planning to make a little brother with Daddy, are you?"

Ming Yao, "What nonsense are you talking about, child?"

"Where’s Daddy? I need to settle the score with him. He actually dared to compete with me for Mommy."

Little Orange headed towards the apartment.

Thinking of the messy room, Ming Yao hurriedly pulled Little Orange back.

"Baby, how about Mommy make some delicious food for you?"

Hearing the promise of something tasty, Little Orange’s glass-like big eyes immediately lit up, "Okay."

Once a foodie, always a foodie. Offer them something delicious, and they forget everything else.

Ming Yao took Little Orange to the kitchen, "Mommy will teach you how to bake a cake."

"Okay, okay."

After his bath, Gu Siting came to the kitchen and saw the warm scene of mother and daughter baking a cake together.

Taking advantage of Little Orange’s distraction, Ming Yao walked over to Gu Siting and pushed him toward the door.

"Yaoyao, take some time to consider the proposal I made," he said.

Ming Yao snorted coldly and closed the door directly.

In the following days, Ming Yao tried her best to avoid Gu Siting.

Her mind was in chaos; she didn’t know how to handle their relationship anymore.

She knew, deep down in her heart, that she was slowly leaning towards his suggestion.

Even though she vehemently denied it on the surface, deep inside, there was a place for him.

Otherwise, why would she still feel her heart flutter when facing him, even after four years?

In these years, besides Si Ye, there had been other men who pursued her.

However, every time she pictured a man in her mind, it was Gu Siting’s face that appeared, leading her to unconsciously compare those men to him.

Forget it. She couldn’t make up her mind right now. It was a good time to go on a business trip to Italy, and she would give him an answer when she got back!

Rome is an ancient and elegant city.

After arriving at the hotel in Rome, Ming Yao took a bath and then slept.

After overcoming the jet lag, she walked out of the hotel alone in the evening.

Having walked a while, as she was crossing the street, her eyes were suddenly drawn to a silhouette.

Seeing that figure, Ming Yao stiffened abruptly.

A woman dressed as a nun walked past Ming Yao.

The woman’s appearance caught Ming Yao’s line of sight.

The woman had a slender figure, moved with dignified grace, and had a delicate and ethereal look, even with her hair covered, her striking features were undeniable.

Several seconds passed before Ming Yao reacted.

She quickly turned around and chased after the woman.

The image of the woman persisted in her mind: the fine willow eyebrows, the clear and bright apricot eyes, the elegant and petite nose, the cherry blossom pink lips. Wasn’t that the likeness of Shi Ying?

But this nun-dressed woman seemed to have a more refined air about her than Shi Ying.

She had cold white skin and exquisite features, appearing like she had stepped out of a painting.

As far as she knew, after learning Shi Ying’s true nature, Yanxi had locked her away.

She had heard Shi Ying was tortured to a state of being unrecognizable, a shell of her former self.

It couldn’t possibly be that woman in the nun’s outfit, could it?

Ming Yao’s sixth sense told her that they were not the same person!

Ming Yao always wondered why such a terrible person like Shi Ying was treated so kindly by Gu Siting, by Yanxi, in the past.

Later she found out that Shi Ying had gone through some unbearable experiences, which led to her drastic change in personality.

But upon seeing this woman in the nun’s outfit, a complex and odd feeling suddenly surged in Ming Yao’s heart.

She had a bold guess in her mind.

Could it be that this woman was the real Shi Ying?

But she couldn’t understand, if the woman locked up by Yanxi wasn’t Shi Ying, then how could her DNA match the Shi Family’s biological daughter?

And how could she possess Shi Ying’s memories?
