Chapter 361 - Chapter 361 Chapter 360 The Last Time I Shed Tears for Him

Chapter 361: Chapter 360: The Last Time I Shed Tears for Him Chapter 361: Chapter 360: The Last Time I Shed Tears for Him After the banquet ended, Nangong Xuan took a ride back to the hotel in Gu Siting’s car.

She indeed deliberately left an earring in his car on purpose.

Gu Siting pressed his thin lips together, “Lu Zhou.”

Lu Zhou, carrying a suitcase, came out of the presidential suite, “Fourth Master.”

“Go help Miss Nangong find her earring.”

Seeing that Gu Siting was about to leave after speaking, Nangong Xuan rushed over, trying to embrace him from behind.

But Gu Siting, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, avoided her before she could even touch him.

“Miss Nangong, I have matters to attend to. Lu Zhou will bring your earring to your room once he finds it.”

He left coldly.

Nangong Xuan stood frozen in place.

She dressed so sensually; logically, he shouldn’t have been unmoved.

Nangong Xuan couldn’t accept it. As a wealthy heiress, it was her first time being so forward with a man, how could he just ignore her?

Because he still had Ming Yao in his heart?

No, Nangong Xuan refused to admit that she was inferior to Ming Yao!

Seeing Gu Siting enter the elevator, Nangong Xuan returned to her suite, intending to change clothes and follow him, when suddenly, she felt a wave of dizziness.

Her body seemed to heat up.

She slumped to the ground, her breathing becoming more rapid.

What was wrong with her?

After an unknown amount of time, the doorbell rang.

Nangong Xuan staggered to the door and opened it.

Lu Zhou stood at the door, holding a jade earring.

“Miss Nangong, your earring.”

Nangong Xuan didn’t take the earring; instead, she eyed Lu Zhou’s handsome features and unconsciously swallowed.

The last thread of consciousness told her that this wasn’t Gu Siting, but his assistant.

Yet inexplicably, facing his assistant, she felt the urge to throw herself into his arms.

Nangong Xuan raised her hand to take the earring from Lu Zhou’s hand, but she didn’t pull away immediately. Instead, she grabbed Lu Zhou’s hand and pulled him into the room.

She threw her tender body towards him.

Lu Zhou was greatly startled.

He hurriedly pushed Nangong Xuan away, and faced with her seductive, coquettish demeanor, he felt no stir of emotion–on the contrary, he was as if he had seen a ghost, “Miss Nangong, please have some self-respect!”

Lu Zhou left in a hurry.

He also pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and kept wiping the hand that Nangong Xuan had grasped.

Nangong Xuan saw Lu Zhou’s actions, and she almost bit her gum to pieces.

An insignificant little assistant even dared to disdain her?

Nangong Xuan, clutching her head, which ached intensely, walked towards her room.

She wanted to go home and complain to her grandfather.

She was determined to have that little assistant, Lu Zhou, punished!

But as soon as she reached her room, she collapsed onto the bed, drained of strength.

She felt so awful, so terrible!

She rolled back and forth, clutching the quilt.

After an indeterminate amount of time, a tall and straight silhouette appeared in the dim room.

Nangong Xuan opened her blurry eyes to see the man standing beside the bed, relief in her eyes, “Fourth Master?”

With sharp and well-defined features, fine and profound facial expressions, and a tall and upright figure.

Who else could it be but Gu Siting?

He had come back!

She knew it–he wouldn’t bear to leave her alone!

“Fourth Master, I feel so terrible…” she stretched out her hand, gripping the man’s long hand.

The man leaned over, his fingers caressing her flushed cheek, “Where does it hurt?”

“My whole body feels awful, help me… Mmm!”

Before she could finish speaking, her lips were firmly sealed by the man’s.

Nangong Xuan’s heart quickened even more.

The kiss from Gu Siting was even more thrilling than she had imagined.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and began to respond.

…

As Ming Yao slept in a daze, her phone rang.

At first, she ignored it, but the ringing persisted, relentlessly disrupting her sleep.

She rubbed her brow and picked up the phone from the nightstand.

It was a call from an unfamiliar number.

Ming Yao answered the call.

Before she could speak, a seductive female voice came through, “Fourth Master, do you like me or Ming Yao?”

The call was made by Nangong Xuan. Although her mind was foggy, she had one clear thought: during her intimacy with Gu Siting, she wanted to let Ming Yao know.

Therefore, she saved Ming Yao’s number at the top of her contact list. If she were to make a call, it would dial Ming Yao’s phone.

“Ming Yao and her mother are both flirtatious, but I am different. I am pure as ice and jade, and from now on, I will be loyal only to you…”

When Ming Yao heard Nangong Xuan’s words, her body stiffened.

The man did not speak, but she could tell what they were doing.

Her blood felt like it was about to freeze.

Any drowsiness in Ming Yao’s mind vanished instantly.

Her hand gripping the phone tightened, veins standing out on the back of her hand.

It was as if an invisible dark hand had grasped her heart tightly.

Making it hard for her to breathe.

She hadn’t expected his so-called “new life” to begin so quickly!

Ming Yao closed her eyes, now reddened, and forcefully hung up the call.

Unable to sleep anymore, she sat up in bed, wrapped her arms around her knees, gazed out at the bright moonlight through the window, and a tear slid down her cheek.

Any lingering excitement she had felt for him vanished with that phone call!

If you are already with Nangong Xuan, we can only be strangers from now on!

Gu Siting, this is the last time I will shed tears for you!

…

The following day.

As the day grew warm, Nangong Xuan slowly woke up.

She opened her eyes to find the room completely dark and turned on the bedside lamp, then opened the curtains.

The bright, dazzling sunlight poured in, causing her eyes to ache.

Nangong Xuan raised her hand to shield her eyes, but barely moved before she gasped from the pain.

Her whole body was sore.

The memories of the previous night were intermittent.

But she knew that the man she was with last night was Gu Siting.

Although her grandfather had always taught her not to give herself away casually, she felt that she was not being careless.

If Gu Siting slept with her, he would have to marry her!

With this thought, a sweet smile curled on Nangong Xuan’s lips.

Nangong Xuan took a flight back to the Nangong Family in the afternoon.

Ming Yao didn’t return from school until the evening. Nangong Xuan deliberately wore a strappy long dress, showing the red marks on her neck.

Leaning at the doorway with a serene smile, she said, “Ming Yao, I heard you’re a designer. You can design wedding dresses, right?”

Nangong Xuan deliberately stroked her neck with her fingertip, drawing attention to the conspicuous marks.

Ming Yao had not slept since the call the previous night, her eyes showing faint red blood vessels.

She was well aware of Nangong Xuan’s provocation.

But her expression revealed no discomfort.

“What, are you getting married?”

Seeing Ming Yao pretend to be composed, Nangong Xuan’s smile deepened, “I’m sorry about last night. While enjoying a romantic time with Fourth Master, I accidentally called you.”

“After getting intimate with Fourth Master, he said he would take responsibility. Honestly, I’m still young and didn’t want to get married so soon!”

“If you can design wedding dresses, show me your design. If it suits my taste, I’ll have you design mine!”
