Chapter 423 - Chapter 423 Chapter 421 He pulled her into his arms forcefully

Chapter 423: Chapter 421: He pulled her into his arms forcefully Chapter 423: Chapter 421: He pulled her into his arms forcefully Ming Yao’s eyes brimmed with redness, as she buried her face into her arms wrapped around her knees.

Her heart ached and felt uncomfortable.

Why was he so stubborn?

She had said to let Senior Brother operate on him, but he insisted on being tough.

Now look what had happened, the surgery failed, and he was gone!

Tears welled up in Ming Yao’s eyes.

Her insides writhed in pain as if twisted together.

In the silent stairwell, her restrained and suppressed cries were clear and sorrowful.

Even though he had fallen in love with someone else, the fact that something really happened to him still left her indescribably upset!

As long as he was alive, it didn’t matter who he was with!

She had no other demands on him, just to be alive.

“Crying about what?”

Suddenly, a deep and magnetic voice came from above her head.

Ming Yao’s body stiffened.

She suddenly looked up, her pupils constricting sharply at the tall figure that appeared before her.

The man in front of her was clad in black clothes, tall and cold, with a distinct profile under his short dark hair.

Who else could it be but Gu Siting?

Ming Yao closed her eyes briefly and then opened them again, and the man was still standing in front of her.

Ming Yao quickly wiped the tears from her face, stood up from the ground, and fiercely twisted the man’s arm.

“Hiss…” The man’s gasp of pain echoed.

Seeing that he was still very much alive, Ming Yao covered her face with both hands and quickly turned away, with her back to him.

She took a moment to compose herself before she turned back to look at him.

Their gazes met in the dim light.

Looking at her reddened eyes, Gu Siting raised an eyebrow, “What were you just crying about?”

Ming Yao looked at his handsome and profound face, her emotions complex.

After taking a deep breath, she said, “I thought your surgery had been a failure.”

Hearing her words, a hint of softness overflowed in Gu Siting’s dark eyes, and his long hand reached out toward her small face.

But before he could touch her, she turned her head to avoid him.

Gu Siting’s hand, hanging in midair, sighed softly, “Yaoyao, you’re still angry with me, aren’t you?”

Ming Yao didn’t want to talk to him more than necessary.

Since he was still alive and well, she felt relieved.

She took a step, preparing to leave.

But the man blocked her way, not allowing her to pass.

Ming Yao glared at him with some annoyance, “What are you doing?”

Gu Siting clasped her shoulders with both hands, pinning her against the corner wall with a low and husky voice, “I know you’re angry, let me explain what happened these days.”

Ming Yao shook off the hands on her shoulders, looking at him with a cold gaze, “Alright, I really want to hear what kind of satisfactory explanation you have!”

Gu Siting pressed his thin scarlet lips tightly together, a heavy look flowing in his deep black eyes, “Shi Ying is not the same as before, she might have become Gong Yu’s puppet.”

Gu Siting revealed the incident where he was almost hypnotized by Shi Ying.

Ming Yao was shocked upon hearing this.

But what shocked her even more was that Gong Yu actually wanted to take Gu Siting’s life during his heart transplant!

Gong Yu is the Crown Prince, why would he need to deal with a businessman?

“Have you incurred some deep hatred with him?”

Gu Siting’s brows furrowed, “How would I know?”

Was it simply because he was more outstanding, enough to make him hated to the bone?

“`

But now at least he knew, the one who wanted to harm him in the shadows was Gong Yu.

With this knowledge, he wouldn’t be as unprepared when dealing with situations.

However, dealing with Gong Yu was no easy matter, given his status and position!

Gu Siting knew that Ming Yao had been wronged these past few days, so he took out a business card, “This is the housekeeper’s card of the First Lady; she needs a custom gown, and I recommended you.”

Ming Yao, “…”

Looking at the woman’s eyes that were somewhat red and swollen from crying before, Gu Siting reached out and pulled her into his arms.

His large hand gently patted her slender back, “I don’t know what methods Gong Yu will use against me next; I won’t be able to be too close to you for a while, but you need to understand, you’re the only one in my heart.”

Ming Yao leaned against the man’s sturdy and broad chest, smelling the refreshing scent and the faint smell of cold fir on him, her nose felt a bit sour.

“What about the heart? The one from Siew Wei, didn’t Gong Yu take it away?”

Gu Siting hummed lowly in response.

Without killing him, Gong Yu wouldn’t let him have another heart transplant.

Ming Yao pulled away from the man’s embrace and glared at him irritably.

Gu Siting felt a tingling on his scalp from her stare.

“Why are you looking at me with that kind of eyes?”

Ming Yao’s little face was tight as she said, “What did I tell you in the beginning? I told you not to offend my Senior Brother, to be prepared for any eventuality. What if you need his help?”

Gu Siting, “…”

“It seems I will have to make another trip to the Tang Sect.”

Without waiting for Gu Siting to say anything, Ming Yao glared at him again, “Don’t you dare refuse again!”

Gu Siting’s tongue pressed against his back teeth, his voice cold as he said, “He forced you to divorce me, and I should accept his help? Like hell I’d have no dignity!”

“How much is dignity worth? Isn’t your life worth a bit more?”

Gu Siting, “…”

“Stop pretending you can handle it on your own. Aren’t you aware of the state of your health? The heart transplant should ideally be done within six months. If Siew Wei hadn’t been delivered into your hands by Gong Yu, could you easily find someone with a heart compatible with yours?”

“Your blood type is special and rare; there are hardly a few matches in the world. If you keep being stubborn, you could really lose your life!”

Gu Siting truly felt suffocated.

He would rather die than let Yun Zhuo help him!

“I’ll think of another way…” Gu Siting said, his voice hoarse.

Seeing that he was still so stubborn, Ming Yao didn’t want to say anything more, “As you wish.”

She walked forward a few steps, and as if she remembered something, Ming Yao turned back to look at Gu Siting, “You need to tell your brothers about Shi Ying being one of Gong Yu’s people, right?”

Especially Yanxi, he needs to be clearly told.

Wanwan was coaxed by Yanxi last time, and the couple seems to have developed quite a good relationship since then.

Ming Yao truly hoped that Yanxi would cherish Wanwan and not let her down, causing her heartache!

Gu Siting had already sent a message in the brothers’ group chat, planning to meet them at the Imperial Palace Club tonight.

Tonight.

Gu Siting and Fu Yunshen were the first to arrive at the Imperial Palace Club.

When Fu Yunshen entered the private room, Gu Siting was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, shrouded in smoke. Fu Yunshen walked over and gently patted his shoulder.

“Fourth Brother, what’s the matter, something on your mind?”

Gu Siting let out a puff of smoke, his handsome profile looking profoundly mysterious amidst the bluish-white smoke, “I’ve been thinking about a lot of things from our childhood.”

Fu Yunshen pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose, “Heard you had Shi Ying move to Bluewater Bay? Aren’t you considering Ming Yao’s feelings?”

Gu Siting’s jawline tensed; he turned his head to look at Fu Yunshen, “Now Shi Ying has become Gong Yu’s puppet.”

Fu Yunshen hear this, his body jolted.

“Impossible, right?”

Gu Siting flicked the ash from his fingertips, “It’s possible Gong Yu brainwashed her.”

Gu Siting went on to reveal that Shi Ying knew how to hypnotize.
