Chapter 391: Chapter 390: I Apologize for the Miscarriage Chapter 391: Chapter 390: I Apologize for the Miscarriage As he spoke, he still hadn’t left her lips.

The faint stubble on his chin rubbed against her delicate skin, and his breath sprayed onto her little face as he talked, causing a blush to spread from her cheeks all the way to her ears.

Ming Yao, no matter how much she denied it, couldn’t fool herself.

She was still infatuated with this man.

Even if she verbally denied it, she couldn’t resist his kisses.

But the remaining sliver of reason told her that she couldn’t go on like this…

If one day he were to fall, she would definitely regret it.

Just as he was about to pry open her teeth, she pushed him away with force.

“Gu Siting, can’t we part on good terms?”

Gu Siting’s lips pressed into a straight line, his hands clutching Ming Yao’s slender shoulders, “What exactly did you and your Senior Brother agree upon? He promised to find a suitable heart for me if you divorce me, didn’t he?”

Ming Yao cast her eyes down, “Stop asking, I’m divorcing you simply because you are no longer of any use to me.”

A cold chuckle emerged from the depths of the man’s throat.

“Is that so?”

Ming Yao pursed her lips, “Yes.”

Gu Siting released Ming Yao’s shoulders, taking several steps back with his tall figure.

In his deep, dark eyes was an ice-cold chill like never before, “In that case, I won’t bother you anymore.”

After speaking, he turned and left.

Ming Yao watched his retreating figure, her heart suddenly clenching tight.

She knew this was for his own good, yet it still saddened her.

This damned man, constantly causing her anger and sorrow every few days.

She closed her eyes, doing her best not to look at him.

A few seconds later, a sudden loud noise came.

The man at the emergency exit had collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, Ming Yao’s face turned pale.

“Gu Siting!”

Ming Yao grabbed Gu Siting’s hand, immediately checking his pulse.

But before she could figure out what was wrong, he grabbed her fingers with his large hand.

The man sat up from the ground.

Ming Yao saw him open his eyes with no change in his complexion, and she suddenly seemed to understand something.

He was faking it!!!

The bastard!

Ming Yao tried to withdraw her hand, but Gu Siting held on tightly and pulled her into his embrace with a tug.

Ming Yao’s nose hit his solid shoulder, causing her to inhale sharply from the pain.

Her small fist balled up, and she pounded on his shoulder.

“Is it fun to lie?”

Gu Siting’s other large hand gripped her slender waist, his voice husky, “Ming Yao, is this how you don’t care?”

Ming Yao’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, “Anybody collapsing would have me worried–I’m a doctor–”

She didn’t finish her sentence when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her waist.

He had pinched her hard.

Ming Yao glared at him, “What is wrong with you?”

Gu Siting looked down at the woman’s annoyed face, his voice deep and somber, “Ming Yao, listen clearly, I, Gu Siting, do not need a woman to sacrifice her happiness to save my life!”

Ming Yao, “…”

“I don’t care what agreement you’ve made with your Senior Brother; from this moment on, it’s all void! Even if he finds a heart, I will not want it!”

Ming Yao’s pupils constricted, “Gu Siting, stop being ridiculous!”

Gu Siting let go of Ming Yao and stood up from the ground, his dark eyes somber as he gazed at her, “I’m not joking,” his lips pressed tightly together, word by word, “Even if it means death, I will not accept it!”

Ming Yao’s body swayed unsteadily.

Gu Siting’s large hand grasped her slender shoulder, “I will find a suitable heart for myself, and if I can’t find one, I’d rather die!” His grip on her shoulder tightened a bit, “So Ming Yao, you don’t need to compromise with anyone for my sake!”

“I, Gu Siting, will not become a burden to you!”

He bent down and kissed her forehead, “I apologize for the miscarriage.”

Ming Yao stood rooted to the spot, unable to move for a long while.

“It’s already very late, you should go rest!”

Ming Yao opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the man had already turned and left.

Ming Yao watched his retreating figure, her eyes brimming with a sour bitterness.

…

For several consecutive days, Ming Yao did not see Gu Siting again.

He also did not contact her.

Ming Yao knew his temperament well; since he had said those words, he definitely would not accept the heart that Senior Brother found anymore.

Stupid man, why be so obstinate?

Isn’t it good to be alive?

Ming Yao felt somewhat frustrated and restless, sensing that she needed to find an opportunity to communicate with him again.

That day, just as Ming Yao arrived at Autumn Water Studio, Vice President Li came looking for her with Manager Zhu.

Manager Zhu was the head of Ming Corporation’s Glan Watch Company.

“Chairman Ming, Glan Watches have been suppressed by Bailio to the point where they can’t survive anymore, we can only pick a time to declare bankruptcy,” he said.

As far as Ming Yao knew, Bailio Watches were managed by Huo Chun.

In recent times, Huo Chun had indeed been secretly suppressing Glan Watches.

After all, compared to Bailio’s international brand which was expanding abroad, Glan Watches was just a small shop in Country C, hardly worth mentioning.

Glan Watches was originally founded by Ming Ying in Li City, and Ming Yao did not want it to end this way.

“In some time, there’s a watch design competition in Italy. If we get a better ranking than Bailio, how can Huo Chun suppress us then?”

Vice President Li and Manager Zhu were both astounded.

Even if Glan participated in the Italian watch competition, how could it possibly get a better ranking than Bailio?

Although Bailio wasn’t ranked very high internationally, it was among the top three domestically for sure!

Each time it entered international competitions, it made the top ten.

And Glan, which had only participated once and didn’t even make it past the preliminaries, was eliminated early on!

Vice President Li and Manager Zhu both knew that Ming Yao was a genius in fashion design, but could she really understand watch design as well?

“Chairman Ming, all the watch designers with even a bit of fame have been poached by Bailio!”

Glan had lost two designers recently, and both had defected to Bailio.

Ming Yao knew what Vice President Li and Manager Zhu were worried about, and she nodded at them, “Leave the competition to me. Don’t lose your composure; just focus on finishing your current tasks.”

Ming Yao looked toward Manager Zhu, “Later, go to the finance department. I will arrange for finance to allocate funds to Glan Watches.”

Seeing Ming Yao’s confident and composed expression, Manager Zhu’s anxious heart inexplicably settled.

Although Chairman Ming was young, everything seemed to operate normally with her around.

…

Ming Yao spent a week at the company, practically every day, until at last she completed the watch design she had in mind.

Stretching languidly, she handed the design draft to Zhong Ling, “Send this to the organizers in Italy.”

Zhong Ling, upon seeing Ming Yao’s design, was so astonished she couldn’t close her mouth for a good while, “Sister Yao, is there anything you can’t do?”

Ming Yao pinched Zhong Ling’s cherubic cheek, “I don’t know about matchmaking; I haven’t managed to pair you up with Assistant Lu yet!”

Zhong Ling, “…”

After Ming Yao left work, the cleaning staff came to her office to clean.

While collecting the trash can, they packed up all the papers inside and set them aside.

Back at home, the cleaning lady’s daughter saw her mother sorting through the waste paper and walked over for a look.

Upon seeing one of the design drafts with a watch drawn on it, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes, “Mom, where did this come from?”
