Chapter 566: Chapter 563: She Hid Him in the Room

Song Yulan’s support touched Ming Yao deeply.

She left work early in the afternoon and bought quite a few ingredients from the supermarket.

She stewed a nutritious soup and made several kinds of snacks.

She called Song Yulan, “Aunt Lhan, I’ll bring some homemade food over to you later, okay?”

“Yaoyao, you’ve had a hard day at work too, you don’t need to come over personally, I’ll send someone to pick it up later.”

Upon hearing this, Ming Yao didn’t think much of it and cheerfully agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Song Yulan immediately called Gu Siting.

“Siting, do you have time later?”

“Mom, do you have something important?”

“There is something important, but before you come back, can you make a trip to Yaoayao’s place first?”

Gu Siting paused slightly, “Why?”

“Yaoyao made some food, and I need you to pick it up for me.”

Gu Siting didn’t refuse. He was supposed to have a meeting, but he had Lu Zhou attend in his place.

Gu Siting drove to Ming Yao’s apartment.

At the sound of the doorbell, Ming Yao came to open the door.

She thought it was a servant from the Gu Residence, but to her surprise, when she opened the door, it was Gu Siting.

In the moment that their eyes met, she was slightly taken aback.

He was the ever-busy Mr. President, surely he wasn’t too free to be running errands?

Gu Siting was the first to break the silence, his voice low and magnetic, “My mom asked me to come get the food.”

“There’s one more snack that will be ready soon, just wait a moment.”

Gu Siting hummed softly. Watching the woman turn to enter the apartment again, he asked, “May I use the restroom?”

He had asked so politely that she naturally couldn’t refuse.

Gu Siting headed toward the restroom.

There was a washing machine in the restroom, and upon entering, he saw women’s undergarments on top of it.

Black lace.

After entering the kitchen, Ming Yao suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly headed towards the restroom.

The man stood in front of the sink, holding her small garment in his long, fair hands.

His skin was fair, and the contrast between black and white was striking.

Ming Yao’s scalp tingled as she stepped forward and snatched her belonging from his hand.

Just as she was about to scold him for his impudence, she heard him say in a low voice, “The size has changed.”

Ming Yao, “…”

Could she tell him to get lost right now?

Gu Siting looked up, eyed her rosy and radiant face, and a teasing smile played on his lips, “Are you going to stand here and watch me?”

He feigned a move toward his belt.

Ming Yao quickly retreated, slamming the door shut behind her.

Was this really the same stern and cool Mr. President from the television?

In private, he turned out to be so shamelessly flirtatious!

Ten minutes later, Ming Yao had packed the food she was bringing to Song Yulan and came out of the kitchen.

The man had already come out of the restroom. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, his tall figure outlined against the glass, his thoughts seemingly far away, radiating a sense of solitude and melancholy.

“The food is all packed up.”

Gu Siting turned around and looked at Ming Yao.

“Are you moving out?”

Gu Siting nodded towards a set of documents on the coffee table.

Displayed on the documents was a house purchase contract.

Ming Yao had indeed bought a new villa, since the apartment she was currently living in was not very spacious.

Additionally, she planned to move Old Madam Ming in with her.

Old Madam Ming had been accompanied by Ming Guoan for the past few years. If she was to live with Ming Yao, Ming Guoan would likely come too, and the small apartment wouldn’t accommodate them.

Ming Yao affirmed with a sound.

Ming Yao didn’t want to talk much with Gu Siting, and urged him, “You should hurry back to the Gu Residence and hand over the food to Aunt Lhan!”

Gu Siting looked at Ming Yao with a complex gaze, “So you really don’t want to see me?”

“It’s not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together.”

Gu Siting laughed softly upon hearing Ming Yao’s words.

His tall figure moved a few inches closer to Ming Yao.

Ming Yao stood still, took out her phone, and aimed it squarely at Gu Siting’s handsome face, “If you lay a finger on me, do you believe I can let the whole world know what a beast in sheep’s clothing you really are in private?”

Gu Siting raised an eyebrow, “Yaoyao, when I’m a beast in sheep’s clothing, are you sure you can stop me?”

Ming Yao’s memories were suddenly pulled back to the past.

He was domineering and paranoid, and if he really wanted to do something to her, it seemed she was no match for him.

Ming Yao didn’t want to talk to him anymore and handed him the food, “I’m not seeing you off!”

Gu Siting took the things from her hands and, without giving her a hard time, prepared to open the door and leave when the doorbell rang.

Ming Yao peeked through the peephole outside.

Si Ye, Zhong Ling, and several colleagues had come over.

They had agreed to have hotpot at her apartment tonight, and she had been so busy making snacks for Aunt Lhan that she had forgotten all about it!

Seeing Ming Yao frown slightly, as if in some dilemma, Gu Siting peeked through the peephole as well.

He asked in a voice low and laced with amusement, “Is your boyfriend here?”

The word “boyfriend” was pronounced heavily and with irony.

Without waiting for Ming Yao to respond, Gu Siting raised his hand and reached for the doorknob.

Ming Yao, without thinking, pulled back Gu Siting’s hand.

The people outside all knew about her and Gu Siting’s past relationship.

If he appeared here, even if they hadn’t done anything, it could lead to misunderstandings.

Especially Si Ye, what would he think if he saw this?

Ming Yao grabbed Gu Siting’s arm and pushed him towards the room.

Gu Siting resisted leaving, and it took almost all her strength to finally push him in.

“Mr. President, it’s a temporary inconvenience for you.”

Gu Siting squinted his deep-set eyes and his handsome face tightened slightly, “Do you care that much about his feelings?”

Ming Yao pursed her red lips.

In fact, it wasn’t just about caring for Si Ye’s feelings; she was somewhat concerned about preserving the image of this detestable and shameless man in front of her!

“Don’t make a sound, wait for them to leave before you come out.”

Gu Siting, “…”

Ming Yao quickly closed the bedroom door.

She went to the entrance and opened the apartment door.

Si Ye was holding a large bouquet of roses, his handsome and calm face wearing a gentle smile, “Didn’t we agree that you would wait for me before cooking?”

Ming Yao, wearing an apron and with her long hair in a bun, looked busy from her time in the kitchen.

Ming Yao took the flowers and said with a radiant smile, “I was making some snacks, I haven’t started preparing the hotpot yet, come in and sit down first!”

“Sister Yao, let me help you!” Zhong Ling said with a smile, walking into the kitchen.

“No, no, please entertain our colleagues for me.”

Originally, Ming Yao didn’t plan on getting Si Ye’s help either, but he insisted on helping her prepare, so she reluctantly agreed.

As everyone enjoyed the hotpot on the living room coffee table, Ming Yao put on a movie.

They ate hotpot and watched the movie, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

Ming Yao thought about the man in the bedroom and felt a sliver of guilt.

While they were feasting out here, he was in the room, smelling the fragrance. It was quite unfair to him.

After a few drinks, a male colleague couldn’t help but lavish praise on Ming Yao and Si Ye.

“Sister Yao, you and Mr. Si are truly a match made in heaven, perfectly suited for each other.”

“When do you plan to tie the knot? I have my red envelope ready…”

Bang!

The colleague hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly a loud noise came from the room.
