Chapter 261 -260: A Woman Very Important to Him

To be honest, Shi Yuan’s words caused a slight fluctuation in Ming Yao’s emotions.

But the more uncomfortable she felt inside, the more indifferent she appeared on the surface.

Unwilling to allow Shi Yuan to see through any of her thoughts.

Shi Yuan came to her today and spoke these words with a purpose, and Ming Yao was very clear about what that was.

Shi Yuan was a psychologist and knew very well how to stir up the relationship between her and Gu Siting.

Ming Yao’s pretty little face was cold and charming, “Miss Shi, you must have felt quite bad being slapped in the face by my husband on the spot yesterday, right?”

As she spoke, she raised her delicate white fingers and tucked a long strand of hair behind her ear.

She wore the Pink Star Gu Siting had given her on her fingertip, which under the sunlight, emitted a dazzling and blinding brilliance.

Shi Yuan’s eyes hurt from the glare.

This Pink Star was indeed too dazzling.

With a light flick of her wrist, Ming Yao had severely slapped her face.

Shi Yuan sneered in her heart, she had indeed underestimated this woman, Ming Yao!

She was more calculating and difficult to deal with than she had imagined!

But no matter how difficult a woman was to handle, as long as she was emotionally involved, things would become easier.

Unless, she had no feelings for Fourth Brother whatsoever.

Shi Yuan’s smirk was half mocking as she said, “Do you know why Fourth Brother comes to Li City almost every Chinese New Year? Because tomorrow is an important day.”

Shi Yuan leaned closer to Ming Yao and whispered a sentence softly.

“No matter what happens tomorrow, Fourth Brother will resolutely go there.”

Before Shi Yuan left, she finally saw a crack on Ming Yao’s cold and charming face.

That afternoon, Ming Yao hadn’t seen Gu Siting, and he didn’t return until around ten o’clock at night.

After taking a shower, he glanced at her, thinking she was asleep, and then lay down beside her.

Ming Yao was turned away from him, her eyes fixated on the window outside.

Recalling his unusual behavior and intentional avoidance over the past days, she felt a tightness and bewilderment in her heart.

What was he really thinking?

When he was kind to her, it was like being in heaven.

But when she couldn’t figure him out, it made her feel a chill in her heart.

With her mind in turmoil, she felt particularly agitated.

This was also the first night he was beside her, and yet she could not sleep.

She stayed awake until dawn, and finally, unable to resist, she closed her eyes and slept for an hour or two.

When she woke up, the man was no longer by her side.

Ming Yao recalled Shi Yuan’s words from yesterday.

Today, Gu Siting was going to an important place.

It was said that he went there every year, rain or shine!

Usually, Ming Yao respected each other’s personal space, but this time, unable to contain her curiosity, she still took a taxi to the place he had gone.

She had to admit, Shi Yuan was a very good psychologist.

By the time she uttered those words, she had already planted a time bomb in her heart.

After about forty minutes, the taxi arrived at a cemetery.

Near the parking lot, she saw Gu Siting’s car from Li City.

Her heart tightened.

Wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, she walked up the steps.

The cemetery wasn’t crowded, and a drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Ming Yao walked for a while and then saw a tall and stern figure standing among the row of graves on the hillside.

The man was wearing a black knee-length coat with a layer of fine mist settled on his head.

He bowed his head, looking at the photograph on the grave.

Because the distance was somewhat far, Ming Yao couldn’t make out who was in the photograph on the grave.

She quietly moved closer and saw the man’s solemn complexion, his long and straight brows knitted into furrows, revealing unmistakable sorrow in his expression.

The hands Ming Yao had tucked into her coat pockets unconsciously clenched into fists.

Engrossed in his own emotions, he didn’t notice her standing not far away.

He stood in front of the gravestone for nearly an hour before turning and leaving.

Ming Yao hid herself quietly as he left.

Only after he was gone did she come out again.

She approached the gravestone, crouched down, and looked at the photo on it.

It was a very young woman.

The black and white photo revealed a beauty beyond compare, with her long hair framing a delicate melon-seed face that was stunningly breathtaking, especially those autumn-water clear eyes, like water-soaked black gemstones, radiating bright clarity.

The woman had an air of cold elegance, tranquility, and refined grace, an embodiment of poetry and literature.

She bore some resemblance to Shi Yuan, but Shi Yuan wasn’t as exquisitely beautiful.

Ming Yao seemed to realize who the woman in the photo was.

Shi Ying, right?

That person in Gu Siting’s life known by his family, friends, and everyone else.

What exactly was their relationship in the past?

Gu Siting said last time that Shi Ying wasn’t a “White Moonlight” figure, so what was she?

If she meant nothing, why would he come here every year, regardless of the weather, to stand for such a long time? And why were the pain and sadness in his eyes so vividly clear?

She could feel that there was a part of his past that she hadn’t yet touched.

But she also had no right to demand he not have a past because she wasn’t a blank slate herself.

Despite understanding this, the tip of her nose still uncontrollably began to feel sore.

That afternoon, Ming Yao met Wen Yuci for coffee in a café.

Wen Yuci didn’t look so well, with a piece of gauze taped to her forehead, which surprised Ming Yao, “Yuci, what happened to you?”

Touching her forehead, Wen Yuci revealed a faint smile on her alabaster face, “I fought with a jerk. He got hurt worse than I did, his head got cracked open by me.”

Ming Yao, “…” Knowing how elegant and ladylike Wen Yuci was, that man must have been quite outrageous to have his head cracked by her.

“Was it that jerk who forced you on the day of your engagement?”

Wen Yuci knew she couldn’t hide anything from Ming Yao and gave a brief account of what happened between her and Fu Yunshen.

Ming Yao frowned, “That’s too much of him, to force you into signing a contract agreement, treating you like what?”

With a hollow laugh, Wen Yuci responded, “A plaything, a lover, of course!”

“He and Gu Siting are on good terms, I’ll talk to Gu Siting about it.” Pulling out a bank card from her bag, Ming Yao said, “There’s one billion in here, take it for emergencies.”

Wen Yuci pushed the bank card back to Ming Yao, “I already signed the agreement with him, and after I let him sleep with me in vain, he filled the gaps in our family company. It’s just my dad…”

Her father had indeed committed a crime and couldn’t be bailed out. The only thing she could do was to make sure his time in jail was not too harsh.

“Don’t ask Fourth Master for my sake,” Wen Yuci bit her red lip, “Even if you did ask, given Fu Yunshen’s character, he might not listen to Fourth Master.”

“Besides, a year will pass quickly. I’ll just consider it a dog bite!”

Ming Yao held Wen Yuci’s hand and felt her pulse.

“You’re a bit weak. Has he been unrestrained with you? I’ll bring back some tonics when I return to Li City and send them to you.”

A grateful smile appeared on Wen Yuci’s delicate face, “Thank you, Yaoyao. When I get the chance, I’ll come to Li City to visit you.”
