Chapter 366: Chapter 365: Private Room Meeting, Discussing the Marriage Proposal Chapter 366: Chapter 365: Private Room Meeting, Discussing the Marriage Proposal Hearing that Nangong Xuan was pregnant, Ming Yao’s heart suddenly spread with a fine, dense pain, as if a sharp needle had viciously stabbed into it.

It had been over a month since she last received a call from Nangong Xuan in the middle of the night.

If she was pregnant, it would be normal.

But this news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Ming Yao.

Although she knew he had started a new life, she hadn’t expected that he would have a child with Nangong Xuan so soon!

His feelings for her were indeed cheap!

Ming Yao didn’t know how she managed to climb the stairs, her legs felt as if they were filled with lead, each step was heavy.

Nangong Xuan looked at Ming Yao’s desolate appearance, her lips curling up with the smile of a victor.

Because she finally saw a crack in Ming Yao’s beautiful and cold face.

Ming Yao lay on the bed, hugging the pillow with both hands.

Her mind was empty, and her chest felt as if it was stuffed with cotton, making her unable to breathe.

She really should learn to forget Gu Siting!

Otherwise, in the future, only she would be hurt!

After Old Master Nangong returned, Nangong Xuan told him about her pregnancy.

Old Master Nangong’s face instantly changed.

“How can you be pregnant without being married?” Old Master Nangong was a traditional man at heart, and he had been furious about the incident between Nangong Xuan and Gu Siting.

When he tried to hold Gu Siting responsible, he remained noncommittal, and then he went abroad on a business trip right after.

It was clear that he didn’t take him seriously!

With tears streaming down her face, Nangong Xuan said, “Grandpa, I’ve set my mind on him for life, and now that I have his child, he definitely can’t evade his responsibility anymore!”

Under Nangong Xuan’s tearful plea, Old Master Nangong had no choice but to call his third son, Nangong Yao.

He asked Nangong Yao to arrange a meeting with Gu Siting.

About half an hour later, Nangong Yao called Old Master Nangong back.

“He will return to the country tomorrow; we’ll have dinner together in the evening, and then you can discuss Xiao Xuan’s matter with him.”

Knowing that Gu Siting was coming back, Nangong Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that she was pregnant, Gu Siting could no longer cast her aside!

He would have to take responsibility, or else he might as well give up on developing his career in Country C!

The next day.

Ming Yao woke up with a splitting headache; she had hardly slept at all the night before.

Her beautiful eyes were tinged with faint red blood vessels, and she didn’t look well.

She didn’t go downstairs for breakfast; she had no appetite and didn’t want to see Nangong Xuan’s smug face.

She forced herself to sleep, eventually drifting off in a daze.

Around two in the afternoon, there was a knock on the door.

Ming Yao rubbed her disheveled hair and opened the door.

Nangong Xuan stood at the doorway, her face brimming with a smile. Seeing the listless Ming Yao, Nangong Xuan raised her eyebrows, “Ming Yao, I’m meeting Fourth Master tonight, and as a designer, you should help me choose what clothes to wear. What do you think would look nice?”

Ming Yao looked at Nangong Xuan with a faint gaze, “If he likes you, even if you wear a sack, he’d find you attractive.”

“Of course he likes me; otherwise, how could I possibly get pregnant?” Nangong Xuan lifted the corner of her lips, “You have no idea how passionate he was that night.”

Ming Yao narrowed her eyes slightly.

Nangong Xuan must know about her past with Gu Siting, right?

That phone call that night was to show off her power and declare her sovereignty!

A faint smirk of mockery curved on Ming Yao’s lips, “I don’t know if he was passionate or not, but Miss Nangong, this attitude of yours makes me feel like you’re quite cheap in this relationship.”

Nangong Xuan’s eyes suddenly widened, and her voice became shrill, “What do you mean by that, Ming Yao?”

“What I mean is you don’t need to gloat in front of me because the man you treasure as a gem was once someone I grew tired of and discarded!”

Nangong Xuan, “…”

With a loud bang, Ming Yao closed the door.

It took quite a while for Nangong Xuan to come to her senses.

Her face turned from green to purple in an instant.

That cheap Ming Yao, she really thought too highly of herself!

Could it be that a dragon among men like Fourth Master would get tired of her and cast her aside?

Could it actually be that Fourth Master was the one who wanted her no more?

The more Ming Yao pretended to be strong in front of her, the more Nangong Xuan wanted Ming Yao to witness her own happiness.

She found Old Master Nangong, “Grandfather, let’s invite Ming Yao to dine with us tonight!”

Old Master Nangong frowned, “Why invite her to dinner?”

“Grandfather might not know, but Ming Yao tried to seduce Siting. Let her hear with her own ears that I am setting a wedding date with Siting, to make her give up hope completely!”

Old Master Nangong thought of Ming Yao’s mother and scolded, “Like mother, like daughter indeed!”

Old Master Nangong ordered the butler to call Ming Yao upstairs and invite her to join them for the meal.

How could Ming Yao not see through Old Master Nangong’s true intention for inviting her to dinner?

It must be Nangong Xuan’s idea.

After a day and night, she had come to terms with it.

Running away wasn’t the solution; witnessing him set a wedding date with Nangong Xuan might actually make her suffering less intense.

That feeling was too unbearable.

It was like someone stabbing you with a knife and not only that, continuously twisting it around.

Perhaps, after the pain peaked, one would become numb!

Ming Yao wore a white silk-knit short sleeve and a pair of jeans.

Her simple outfit couldn’t hide her striking features and her indifferent, languid demeanor.

In comparison to the lavishly dressed Nangong Xuan, she didn’t look any less magnificent.

The dining room for the meal was booked at a five-star hotel.

The Nangong family arrived at the dining room ahead of time.

When the appointed time came, Gu Siting had not appeared.

A flicker of anger crossed Old Master Nangong’s eyes.

Nangong Xuan soothed him, “Grandfather, maybe there’s traffic jam on the road.”

About half an hour late, Gu Siting finally arrived, looking harried.

“Sorry, the flight was delayed.”

As his voice fell, a tall and upright figure appeared before everyone.

The man was dressed in a tailored handmade black suit, his tie perfectly knotted, and the exquisite fabric was without a single crease.

His black hair was all combed up, revealing his sharply defined and handsome face.

He had one hand casually tucked in his pocket, while the other hung at his side, his presence exuding a prideful coldness and an ascetic restraint.

The moment Nangong Xuan saw him, her heart thumped wildly.

Having not seen him for a while, he seemed even more handsome!

He strode over with his long legs, his narrow eyes dark and deep like whirlpools, threatening to drown anyone in their depths.

When he entered, Ming Yao lowered her head instantly, pretending to look at her phone.

The one who had truly moved her heart, though she kept reminding herself that she had nothing to do with him anymore.

But to truly watch him marry and have children with another woman, she couldn’t remain completely indifferent.

When Gu Siting passed by Ming Yao, he glanced at her and saw her indifferent expression, showing no reaction. His hand stuffed in his pocket clenched into a fist.

So the Nangong family called her here; surely she knew Nangong Xuan’s purpose in finding him, right?

Yet she showed no reaction at all.

Gu Siting’s thin lips curled into a barely noticeable sneer of mockery.
