Chapter 500 - Chapter 500 Chapter 498 Encounter at the Restaurant

Chapter 500: Chapter 498: Encounter at the Restaurant Chapter 500: Chapter 498: Encounter at the Restaurant Seeing Ming Yao cover her mouth and run to the restroom to retch, Wen Yuci’s face showed surprise.

“Yaoyao, you’re not pregnant, are you?”

Ming Yao didn’t hide it from Wen Yuci; she nodded her head.

A few days earlier, she had felt unwell and her period was delayed, so she took her own pulse.

After checking her pulse, she visited the hospital.

After the examination, it was confirmed that she was pregnant.

It must have been when she was with Gu Siting in the Northern Desert that she conceived.

In these past few days, she had felt very conflicted and hesitant, especially since she had been ill before and didn’t know if she should keep the child.

More importantly, she and Gu Siting had already parted ways.

The child would be born without a father–

Ming Yao rinsed her mouth, and once her stomach felt slightly better, she returned to the private room with Wen Yuci.

“Yaoyao, the child is Gu Siting’s, isn’t it?”

Ming Yao nodded her head.

Wen Yuci sighed, “So, what are you going to do now?”

As far as she knew, Gu Siting was about to have a grand wedding with the princess of Country Y.

Ming Yao was also very torn.

Every time she and Gu Siting separated, she would find out she was pregnant.

There were so many considerations to take into account!

“I haven’t made up my mind yet.” Ming Yao lowered her eyes, her fingers stroking her still flat belly.

After dining with Wen Yuci, Ming Yao returned to her apartment.

On the way, she saw on the skyscraper screens the rolling broadcast of Gu Siting’s upcoming wedding to Dai Na.

Gu Siting looked suave in his suit, handsome and cold, with an extraordinary aura. Dai Na, tall and stunning, elegant and composed; together, they made a visually appealing and well-matched pair.

After Ming Yao’s and Gu Siting’s relationship was revealed, they gained quite a number of couple fans.

They were all still enthusiastically indulging in their couple fantasy when, unexpectedly, Gu Siting transformed overnight into a president-elect.

With his status changed, even the woman by his side changed.

Recently, the news had been filled with photos of Gu Siting and the princess of Country Y.

The hearts of the couple fans were shattered.

One fan vented online:

[Becoming the Crown Prince and discarding your old love, isn’t that the behavior of a scumbag?]

[How heartbroken must Yaoyao the Fairy be?]

[How can Princess Dai Na even compare to our Fairy Sister?]

However, less than ten minutes after posting, the comments were deleted, and their ID was silenced.

Although the couple fans felt sad and heartbroken, they didn’t dare to speak out of turn any longer.

After sorting out her affairs here, Ming Yao was ready to return to the Tang Sect with Yun Zhuo.

Quite a few people came to the airport to see them off.

Looking at Wen Yuci with tears rimming her eyes, Ming Yao hugged her, “Ci Ci, you must call me if there’s anything.”

Wen Yuci nodded her head, “I will.”

Ming Yao wiped the tears from the corner of Wen Yuci’s eyes, “We both need to be well.”

Releasing Wen Yuci, Ming Yao said her farewells to the others, one by one.

Outside the airport, a black Rolls-Royce was parked.

Lu Zhou looked at the man smoking in the back seat; his profile was enigmatic and opaque, shrouded in blue and white smoke.

“Fourth Master, the plane has taken off.”

Gu Siting looked out the window at a plane soaring into the sky.

Gu Siting slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, his long, narrow eyes swirling with complicated emotions, his facial contours taut, as if he was forcefully restraining and enduring something.

After a long while, his voice hoarse, he finally said, “Let’s go back!”

…

After dropping Ming Yao off, Wen Yuci received a call from Fu Ziyuan, who invited her to dinner at a Western restaurant.

Wen Yuci originally wanted to refuse, but then she thought, since she had already agreed to marry him, she needed to change her attitude.

Fu Ziyuan picked up Wen Yuci from the airport.

He took her to a Scottish-style Western restaurant.

After the two settled into a window-side seat and had just ordered their meal, they soon saw Fu Yunshen walk in with a mixed-race woman.

Fu Yunshen was dressed in a white shirt and black suit, the finely tailored fabric clinging to his tall, straight figure, giving off an air of nobility and detachment.

The mixed-race woman by his side had skin white as porcelain, delicately crafted features, and a pair of deep blue eyes that were as fetching as a cat’s, quite beautiful.

Wen Yuci gave it some thought.

The woman’s Chinese name should be Huanhuan, right?

As soon as Fu Yunshen and Yan Huan walked in, they caught sight of Wen Yuci and Fu Ziyuan near the floor-to-ceiling window.

Beneath the brilliant lights, the two were enjoying a candlelit dinner.

Fu Yunshen’s hand, which had been casually in his pocket, suddenly clenched into a fist.

Fu Ziyuan noticed Fu Yunshen’s gaze toward Wen Yuci. He cut a piece of steak and fed it to the soft lips of Wen Yuci.

In a lowered voice, he said, “Yuci, since you’ve agreed to marry me, don’t leave him with any illusions.”

Wen Yuci cast down her eyes and after a moment, she opened her mouth and ate the steak Fu Ziyuan had offered her.

Seeing this, Fu Yunshen’s features instantly tensed up, and his slender phoenix eyes were ink-dark, void of any glimmer.

He stared fixedly at Wen Yuci, as if he wanted to devour her down to the bones.

Wen Yuci dared not meet Fu Yunshen’s gaze. His wife was already at his side, so why was he still staring at her?

Yan Huan noticed something off about Fu Yunshen and followed his line of sight towards the window.

When she saw Wen Yuci, she let out a puzzled “Huh?”

“Isn’t that the girl from the photo in your wallet?” she asked.

Fu Yunshen pressed his lips together tightly, his voice cold and emotionless, “You’re mistaken.”

He led Yan Huan to a corner and didn’t glance at Wen Yuci again.

Despite herself, Yan Huan took another look toward Wen Yuci.

Wen Yuci was wearing a long knit sweater that day, with a tight white T-shirt and little black pants underneath. Her smooth, long hair draped over her shoulders, a simple yet sharp outfit that made her look like a college student just entering campus.

Her face was made up lightly, her skin fair, and her features clear and delicate, carrying an air of classical charm and scholarly fragrance.

She had a tranquil beauty that made one feel as if time stood still.

More than the photo, she was even more beautiful and alluring.

Perhaps not wanting to see the sweet dinner scene between Wen Yuci and Fu Ziyuan, Fu Yunshen didn’t order any food and just left.

When he left, Yan Huan had to follow too.

Wen Yuci saw the two get into the same car. A prickling pain started to spread in her heart, as if she had been stabbed by needles.

Even though she hated him, resented him,

seeing him with another woman still made her heart unavoidably ache!

Fu Yunshen drove off on the road at breakneck speed, his shoulder wound reopening.

Seeing the blood seeping into his white shirt, Yan Huan furrowed her brows tightly, “Stop the car!”

Fu Yunshen stopped the car and said to Yan Huan with a cold face, “Get out.”

“I won’t get out,” she replied.

“Then don’t blame me.”

As soon as the words fell, he floored the accelerator and drove onto the Mountain Road.

On the winding road, he drove like a madman.

Several times, Yan Huan thought they would fall off a cliff; her heart was in her throat, terrified.

The fresh blood staining the man’s white shirt grew more and more pronounced, a gruesome sight.
