Chapter 390 - Chapter 390 Chapter 389 Ming Yao You Do Have Me in Your Heart

Chapter 390: Chapter 389: Ming Yao, You Do Have Me in Your Heart! Chapter 390: Chapter 389: Ming Yao, You Do Have Me in Your Heart! Wen Yuci also saw Gu Siting, and she nudged Ming Yao gently with her hand, “Fourth Master is here.”

Ming Yao acted as if she didn’t see the man.

After returning to the Tang Sect, Senior Brother ignored her completely.

She didn’t know whether he would still honor his promise, especially since she had breached the agreement.

It was all that damn Gu Siting’s fault!

Taking advantage of her drunkenness to do such excessive things!

Now, thinking back, Ming Yao still felt both angry and ashamed.

If it weren’t for his heart condition, she really wouldn’t have had the face to see Senior Brother.

On her way back from the Tang Sect, she was so enraged that she thought heartlessly, let the damn man die, what does it have to do with her?

“I don’t want to deal with him.”

The two of them walked toward the apartment entrance.

Just as they were about to enter, a long palm reached out and grabbed Ming Yao’s wrist.

The next second, it was forcefully shaken off by Ming Yao.

Gu Siting’s eyes narrowed with a frown, “Ming Yao, we need to talk!”

Ming Yao’s face was tense as she looked at him, “There’s nothing to talk about.”

As her words fell, with a bang, the door was slammed shut.

Gu Siting, “…”

Wen Yuci and Ming Yao reached the upstairs apartment.

Seeing Ming Yao’s sullen face, Wen Yuci asked softly, “That night at the KTV, did he do something excessive to you?”

Thinking about that night, Ming Yao became infuriated, “I’ve never seen someone so despicable.”

Seeing that Ming Yao was truly in a bad mood, Wen Yuci dropped the subject of Gu Siting.

“Let’s have hotpot tonight!”

“Okay.”

After eating the hotpot, Ming Yao took a bath in the bathroom.

When she came out, she saw Wen Yuci standing by the window looking down. Ming Yao furrowed her brows, “Ci Ci, what are you looking at?”

“He hasn’t left yet.”

Ming Yao sat cross-legged on the sofa, “Don’t stand there looking; let him do whatever he wants!”

After they finished watching a movie together, Wen Yuci started to feel sleepy. She yawned, “Yaoyao, I’m going to sleep.”

“You go ahead; I’ll watch for a while longer.”

Ming Yao realized it was already midnight.

The sound of rain hitting the window came from outside, and Ming Yao walked over to have a look.

It had started to rain.

She glanced downstairs instinctively.

Since Wen Yuci’s apartment was on the third floor, she could see the scene below quite clearly.

Below the dim streetlight, a man leaned against the hood of a Bentley; a cigarette pinched between his fingers.

The drizzling rain fell on his head, dampening his hair and shoulders, but he seemed unmoved, eyes slightly lowered, looking pensive.

Ming Yao’s heart suddenly softened.

He’s doing this on purpose, right?

Not getting in the car to avoid the rain, just standing there like a statue?

Ming Yao’s brows furrowed tightly. Just as she was about to look away, she saw the man lift his head and look in her direction.

Even though she knew he couldn’t see her, her heart still skipped a beat.

She drew the curtains, leaned against the wall, and closed her eyes.

Time passed, and the rain outside grew heavier and heavier.

Ming Yao looked downstairs once more, and the man below had not gotten into his car.

His entire body was drenched.

Why does he not take better care of himself?

After an internal struggle, Ming Yao grabbed an umbrella and rushed downstairs.

After opening the apartment door and seeing the man drenched in the heavy rain, her pale face turned iron blue as she said, “Gu Siting, are you out of your mind?”

When he saw Ming Yao come down, Gu Siting didn’t seem too surprised.

She was someone with a tough exterior but a soft heart; the ploy of playing on one’s sympathy was effective on her!

Ming Yao handed the umbrella to him, “Go back quickly!”

Having said that, she turned and left.

Gu Siting followed her into the building, closed the umbrella, and pulled her into the safety of the doorway.

His tall frame pressed closer to her.

Ming Yao kept stepping back until she was cornered.

“You’re soaking wet, don’t come any closer to me!”

Gu Siting stood two steps away from her.

His dark eyes deeply stared at her, almost piercing through her soul.

Thinking about everything she had endured alone, his chest felt tight and uncomfortable.

From her trip to Tang Sect and back, only a few days had passed but it felt like several centuries to him.

Upon their reunion, there was no hatred or resentment, just a sense of guilt towards her.

Standing two steps away, breathing in her faint fragrance, he wanted to lift his long arms and pull her into his embrace.

But seeing the wariness and chill in her eyes, he halted his hand halfway and pulled it back.

He had countless things he wanted to say to her, but once he began to speak, he didn’t know where to start.

All the words and sentiments coalesced into a low sigh, “Ming Yao, do you realize how foolish this is?”

Seeing the complex emotions in the man’s eyes, Ming Yao pressed her lips tightly, “Gu Siting, what has gotten into you all of a sudden? After what happened that night, you still have the face to come find me?”

“Did you rush back to Tang Sect because of my heart condition?”

The moment Gu Siting said those words, Ming Yao’s face momentarily stiffened.

How did he know?

Gu Siting stared intensely at Ming Yao, not wanting to miss any expression on her face.

Noticing the fleeting shock and astonishment in her eyes, a faint smirk of mockery appeared on his lips, “Ming Yao, do you really think I would let you sacrifice your happiness for me?”

Ming Yao’s eyebrows knitted together tightly.

Clenching her fists, she took a deep breath and said, “Gu Siting, you are overthinking it; it wasn’t for your heart condition.”

Gu Siting’s facial contours became sharp, his jaw tightened with a thin layer of annoyance, “You are still lying. I’ve been to Li City Hospital, and you didn’t voluntarily abort our child–you had an ectopic pregnancy!”

“You agreed to a certain condition set by your Senior Brother, that’s why you want to leave me. You told me the truth about the miscarriage just to make me misunderstand you!”

“Ming Yao, you do have me in your heart!”

Ming Yao didn’t expect him to uncover the truth about everything in just a few short days of her departure.

While shocked, she also felt somewhat at a loss.

Now that Senior Brother still refuses to see her, if she doesn’t agree to get a heart transplant for Gu Siting, the consequences are too dire to contemplate.

More than love and affection, she wished for him to live a good life!

Ming Yao closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, they were cold, “Gu Siting, don’t flatter yourself! Don’t you know your own temperament? You have a severe case of paranoia and almost strangled me in your rage, and you are especially overbearing and domineering. You get unhappy whenever I speak to other men. How could I really fall for someone like you?”

“And don’t forget, I was with you initially also because you could cure my insomnia–”

Before Ming Yao could finish, the man suddenly moved closer, his long fingers pinching her chin, leaning down to kiss her deeply.

Backed against the corner wall by the stairwell, Ming Yao’s hands braced against his shoulders, her fingertips curling, trying to push him away. But he stood immovable like a mountain, unaffected no matter how hard she pushed.

Inside Ming Yao’s heart, turmoil ensued.

The man grabbed her hands and placed them over his left chest.

“Ming Yao, do you hear it?”

His heart was beating fiercely.

“Only you can make it beat this fast.”
