Chapter 407 - Chapter 407 Chapter 406 She Cares About Him

Chapter 407: Chapter 406: She Cares About Him Chapter 407: Chapter 406: She Cares About Him Gu Siting nodded, “I’m good with having dinner, but I’ll be treating.”

Gu Siting took Ming Yao and Shi Ying to that private dining restaurant.

The last time Old Master Huo brought Ming Yao there, their car couldn’t enter. Upon reaching the entrance of the alley, they had to walk in.

As they entered the alley, Shi Ying saw a skateboarding couple coming toward them, and she suddenly wobbled.

Shi Ying was walking beside Gu Siting, and seeing her about to fall, he reached out his hand to steady her.

Once Shi Ying steadied herself, he asked, “Are you all right?”

Shi Ying rubbed her temples, her face turning slightly pale, “I’m fine, it’s just that when I saw that skateboarding couple, some images flashed in my mind. Mr. Gu, did you ever teach me to skateboard?”

It was something from the distant past, and Gu Siting struggled to recall it for the moment.

But upon reflection, it seemed there was such a time.

“I believe I did,” Gu Siting said as he looked at Shi Ying, his thin lips curling up slightly, “It’s good that you are able to remember some of the past.”

Shi Ying nodded.

Ming Yao walked on the other side of Gu Siting, watching him talk with Shi Ying without thinking too much of it.

From Gu Siting’s perspective, Shi Ying was a life-saver, and her current boyfriend was even going to donate his heart for him. It was totally reasonable for him to be extra attentive to her!

At the restaurant, most of the time, it was Shi Ying and Gu Siting talking, with Ming Yao quietly listening.

Soon, all the dishes were served.

Gu Siting was quite the gentleman, using serving chopsticks to offer food to the two ladies.

Ming Yao noticed that he was busy serving them and hadn’t eaten much himself, so she picked up a few shrimps, peeled them, and placed them on a small plate, pushing it towards Gu Siting, “You should eat as well!”

Gu Siting’s hand, not holding chopsticks, couldn’t help but grasp Ming Yao’s under the table, but it was quickly withdrawn by Ming Yao.

“Eat your food!” she warned him with her eyes, signaling him not to mess around.

Gu Siting’s lips curled into a gentle smile.

He picked up his chopsticks, about to eat, when suddenly a slender white hand reached over.

Shi Ying took the shrimp from in front of Gu Siting, “Ah Ting can’t eat this.”

Hearing Shi Ying’s words, both Gu Siting and Ming Yao stiffened.

“Sister Shi Ying, what did you just call me?”

“Ah Ting…” Shi Ying looked at Gu Siting, her eyes shifting slightly, “Just now, I remembered something. You have a shrimp allergy, right?”

Gu Siting saw Shi Ying slowly recalling some things, joy apparent in his dark eyes.

“I used to be allergic, but not anymore.” Since the bullet had struck his chest, he was no longer allergic to seafood.

It might have been due to the toxin’s influence!

“I’m sorry, I thought you still couldn’t eat it like before,” Shi Ying said, returning the plate to Gu Siting.

Perhaps it was Shi Ying’s regaining some memories that lifted Gu Siting’s spirits, leading him to talk about things that had happened in their youth.

Ming Yao silently listened on the side, suddenly feeling uncomfortable.

Judging from Shi Ying taking the shrimp away from Gu Siting, did she really have no special feelings for Gu Siting?

That natural protectiveness was just like what a girlfriend would show towards her boyfriend.

But maybe it was just her imagination.

Even if Shi Ying recalled the past, she would only feel moved by Su Mo, right?

From how Gu Siting described her in the past, Shi Ying just considered him like a younger brother or family, without any ambiguous relationship!

That’s why Gu Siting could talk openly about the past with Shi Ying in front of her.

Ming Yao pursed her lips, hoping it was just her imagination.

After the meal, the three of them left the private dining restaurant.

“Ah Ting, please take Miss Ming back home. The hospital is not far from here, I can walk there,” Shi Ying said.

Gu Siting furrowed his brows, “It’s getting late, it’s not safe for you to go back alone.”

“It’s fine, it’s only a fifteen-minute walk, and it’s just past eight o’clock now, not late at all.”

Without waiting for Gu Siting to say anything else, Shi Ying turned and left.

Gu Siting drove Ming Yao back to her apartment.

After exiting the elevator, Gu Siting followed behind Ming Yao, showing no intention of returning to his own apartment.

Ming Yao turned to look at him, “Why are you following me?”

“Aren’t you going to invite me in for a cup of tea?”

Ming Yao rolled her eyes at Gu Siting, “In your dreams.”

Gu Siting leaned one hand against the door frame above Ming Yao’s head, inching his tall frame closer to her, “Seeing Siew Wei, you can be at ease now, right?”

Ming Yao pursed her lips, “My heart is fine, but the doctor performing the surgery…”

“I arranged the doctor myself,” Gu Siting lifted his other hand, gently caressing Ming Yao’s cold and beautiful face, “you can completely put your mind at rest, and you can also tell your Senior Brother to leave.”

Ming Yao slapped away the man’s hand, “You’re thinking too much. My Senior Brother staying here has nothing to do with your surgery!”

Gu Siting narrowed his dark eyes, “I’m well aware he’s not here for me. He wants to win you back, but aren’t you keeping him here because of me?”

Ming Yao, “…”

I’ve never seen a man so shameless!

Not wanting to deal with him any longer, Ming Yao opened the door to her apartment.

As she was about to close the door, the thick-skinned man followed her inside.

Little Snowball had been living in Ming Yao’s apartment lately and meowed excitedly when it saw them both enter.

“Yaoyao, even Little Snowball hopes that the two of us can reconcile soon.”

Ming Yao picked up Little Snowball, and she gently stroked its head, “Meatball, if you think your daddy is in the way, meow once more.”

To please mommy, Little Snowball meowed again.

Ming Yao turned back to the man whose handsome face had instantly turned ashen, and she couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.

Gu Siting glared at Little Snowball, “You heartless little thing. I take such good care of you every day, yet you don’t even try to help your daddy and mommy get along.”

Little Snowball curled up in Ming Yao’s arms, its gem-like blue eyes showing a hurt expression.

Gu Siting pinched Little Snowball’s ear and lifted it out of Ming Yao’s arms.

“Yaoyao, the heater in my apartment is broken. May I use your bathroom?”

Ming Yao saw right through the man’s ulterior motive, “If it’s broken, get property management to fix it.”

“It’s too late for that, they’re off work now.”

“Then go back to Bluewater Bay.”

“Fine, if you won’t lend me your bathroom, that’s okay. You previously blocked me on WeChat, but you can at least add me back now, right?”

Ming Yao took out her phone and re-added him on WeChat.

After adding him, upon seeing his WeChat profile picture, Ming Yao’s mouth twitched.

“Gu Siting, who allowed you to use this profile picture?”

She had previously posted a photo of their hands clasped together on Weibo, and this guy had saved the picture at some point, now using it as his WeChat profile picture.

Looking at the photo of their fingers intertwined, Ming Yao’s cheeks slightly reddened.

“Hurry up and change it!”

Gu Siting obviously had no intention of changing it, “I’ll change it the day you’re willing to take a couple’s profile picture with me.”

Ming Yao, “Don’t even think about it!”
