Chapter 240 -239: Protecting Her Husband is Really Domineering

Gu Siting shook off Yanxi’s hand, a trace of cold ruthlessness appearing in his eyes, “If you can’t even protect your own wife, what kind of man are you?”

Gu Siting’s circle is different from Crown Prince Gong Yu’s circle.

They always kept to their own turf.

Gu Siting had his connections within the Presidential Residence, and the President had to give him some face.

That’s why he could rise to power in Li City, his authority unchallenged.

But Crown Prince Gong Yu and Mr. President are completely different in temperament; Gong Yu is capricious, brutal, and doesn’t play by the rules.

Anything he wanted, even if it belonged to someone else, he would seize and make his own.

Therefore, people in Gu Siting’s circle tried their best not to provoke those from the Crown Prince’s party.

Over the years, everyone had lived in peace.

Yanxi watched Gu Siting head towards Ming Yao, and his brow twitched involuntarily.

A bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

The peaceful relationship that had lasted so many years, where no one trespassed on the others’ domain, seemed about to be broken.

Yanxi glanced at Ming Yao’s breathtaking beauty and let out a helpless sigh.

Beauty, truly a disaster!

Ming Yao’s beautiful eyes lit up when she saw the man approaching her.

Yin Zhe saw a smile appear on Ming Yao’s cold and stunning face, a smile that bloomed like spring flowers, so achingly beautiful, and his Adam’s apple bobbed, “So, you’ve changed your mind and are willing to be with me now?”

Ming Yao didn’t even glance at Yin Zhe; instead, she looked towards the man who was walking with heavy steps and softly called out, “Husband.”

Yin Zhe’s lips curled into a smile.

She was calling him husband so soon?

It looked like she knew which way the wind was blowing!

Just as Yin Zhe was about to wrap his arms around Ming Yao’s shoulders, Ming Yao stepped aside, avoiding him and throwing herself into the arms of another man.

Her eyes brimming with joy, she asked, “Husband, what are you doing here?”

Yin Zhe quickly turned around to look at the man Ming Yao was embracing.

A tall and erect figure, handsome and distinct features, an aura of detached indifference—who could it be if not Gu Siting?

The President of the Presidential Residence often mentioned Gu Siting in front of Gong Yu, saying he was the most outstanding and excellent among the young people and that they should all learn from him.

In private, Gong Yu didn’t like Gu Siting at all.

Yin Zhe certainly didn’t expect that the beauty he had set his sights on would be Gu Siting’s delicate wife!

Gu Siting looked at the woman’s seductive and alluring appearance and lightly flicked her nose, “I have some acquaintance with the man’s family.”

Ming Yao bent her eyes and hummed in acknowledgment.

“Why are you here?” The man looked at her flower-like smile, and his piercing black eyes unconsciously softened a bit, “Weren’t you going to meet a friend?”

“My friend is today’s bride-to-be. Quite a coincidence, you happen to know her fiancé’s family. You should have a word with her fiancé to make sure he treats my friend well in the future.”

Gu Siting didn’t really know Fu Ziyuan. He had just had business dealings with the Fu Family, but that was when Fu Yunshen was still around.

Gu Siting didn’t explain too much to Ming Yao.

Looking over at Yin Zhe, who was still watching them, Gu Siting’s black eyes immediately turned sharp and cold, “Young Master Yin, are you coveting my wife?”

Yin Zhe was about the same age as Gu Siting, but his presence wasn’t nearly as imposing.

When Gu Siting spoke, his bearing suddenly changed, chilling the air around them. Indeed, it was somewhat reminiscent of Mr. President’s aura.

In person, Yin Zhe wouldn’t dare to cross Gu Siting. He said with a smile, “Fourth Master has misunderstood, I thought the lady was single. You know my tastes.”

Gu Siting’s large hand embraced Ming Yao’s delicate shoulders, his expression deep and indifferent, “You should change this hobby of yours, otherwise one day if you go too far, your Yin family line will end with you!”

This was an outright threat.

The complexion of Yin Zhe suddenly turned quite ugly.

But, after all, being a part of high society, he managed to control his emotions even in extreme anger.

“Fourth Master is right, however, I also need to warn Fourth Master about something: such a beautiful little wife should be kept hidden at home,” Yin Zhe lowered his voice deliberately as he passed by Gu Siting, speaking in a volume only the two of them could hear, “You know, the Crown Prince and I share the same hobby.”

Gu Siting’s handsome facial features suddenly tensed up.

When Yin Zhe said his last sentence, his voice was so low that Ming Yao didn’t hear what he said.

Seeing that Gu Siting’s expression had turned severely grim, and the grip on her shoulder had intensified, she frowned and looked at him, “Husband, what’s wrong?”

Gu Siting frowned slightly, his voice hoarse, “If you encounter Yin Zhe or anyone around him in the future, go around them.”

Observing the solemn look in the man’s eyes, Ming Yao felt a sense of gravity in her heart.

In Li City, everyone fears Fourth Master Gu.

But in the capital city…

It can only be said that there are heavens beyond this heaven and people beyond these people.

However, in her heart, her husband is still the most formidable!

Ming Yao hugged his arm and nodded obediently, “Don’t worry, I’ll wear a mask whenever I go out from now on.”

Gu Siting was amused by Ming Yao’s words, “That won’t be necessary.”

The engagement ceremony was about to start, and Wen Yuci descended slowly from upstairs.

The hem of her white dress was made of organza, like sea foam, which rippled with each step she took, creating an impression as though lotuses bloomed with every step she made.

Wen Yuci was recognized by the capital city as the most dignified and beautiful, and phenomenally enchanting socialite.

Father Wen and Mother Wen wanted to hurry the engagement between Wen Yuci and Fu Ziyuan for another reason—they were afraid she would catch Gong Yu’s eye.

Although Gong Yu was the Crown Prince, he treated women as playthings, and the women who followed him were not allowed to marry anyone else after being discarded.

They could only live out their lives in solitude.

Wen Yuci’s coiffed hair came tumbling down, and she wore a crystal hairband that made her look even more ethereal.

“Yuci looks truly beautiful, I wonder who the male lead is?” Ming Yao didn’t know which one was Wen Yuci’s fiancé as there were too many people in the banquet hall.

With one hand wrapped around Ming Yao’s delicate shoulders and the other playing with a glass of red wine, Gu Siting tipped his head back slightly and drained the liquid in the glass in one gulp, “There won’t be an engagement ceremony.”

Ming Yao’s long lashes trembled, “What?”

He can’t be joking, right?

The engagement ceremony was about to begin, and he was saying there wouldn’t be one?

The man did not respond to Ming Yao’s question, his face an inscrutable mask, leaving Ming Yao bewildered.

In her peripheral vision, she caught sight of the man walking toward the stage.

Tall and elegant, his demeanor warm and refined, he must be Yuci’s soon-to-be fiancé!

“A handsome man and a beautiful woman, I think they’re quite a match!”

Gu Siting chuckled quietly, “Not as good as my brother, though.”

Ming Yao, “…” What exactly is he implying?

Was there some mishap occurring in this engagement ceremony?

The host began officiating the engagement ceremony, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall was lively and harmonious.

The couple-to-be each made their speeches, and then it was time to exchange the engagement rings.
