Chapter 228 -227: Turned out He Was Abandoned Before
Gu Siting teased a lock of the woman’s hair from her cheek and rolled it between his fingers, his thin lips curving into a slight smile, “His trick is pretty good, I think it works.”
Ming Yao saw that he knew he was wrong but refused to correct it, and pinched his stiff arm in frustration.
“If you ruin my clothes again, I’m going to ignore you.”
Looking at the woman’s blush-red cheeks and her alluring, charming eyes, Gu Siting leaned down, his thin lips approaching her ear, “Mrs. Gu, how have I been performing recently?”
Ming Yao actually understood the implication behind his words in an instant.
Ming Yao bit her lower lip, her pale ears turning a slight shade of red, and glanced at him annoyedly, “So-so.”
She did hope he would get better and better, so that she could overcome the psychological shadow in that area and eventually not need medication to—
Hearing Ming Yao’s response, the man didn’t get angry.
Compared to the outright negative feedback before, it had now become “so-so.”
That was progress!
……
The next day.
Ming Yao nestled in Gu Siting’s embrace, not wanting to get out of bed.
The weather had turned cold, and indeed, the bed was the most comfortable place.
No, to her, being in the man’s arms was the most comfortable place.
Looking at the woman who didn’t want to get out of bed, Gu Siting’s thin lips lifted into a faint smile, “You keep sleeping, I’ll carry you to the car.”
The next second, the woman opened her sleepy eyes.
“Without changing clothes, without makeup, in a disheveled state, you want me to go meet your family in the capital?”
“In my eyes, Mrs. Gu always looks beautiful.”
Ming Yao got goosebumps on her arms, “Mr. Gu, stop being cheesy.”
Without waiting for him to say anything, she quickly got out of bed.
Washing up, putting on makeup, changing clothes.
It took almost an hour.
Gu Siting didn’t rush her, although there were only forty-five minutes left until boarding time.
Lu Zhou, who was supposed to drive them to the airport, was extremely anxious.
But he didn’t dare to hurry the couple.
Ming Yao wore a V-neck red coat, with a black turtleneck sweater inside, a black pleated skirt, high-heeled ankle boots on her feet, her long hair fashioned into large waves, and a beret on her head. Her bright red lips completed the look, and as she walked out in her cinched waistcoat, she looked like a proud sun in the wintry days, brightening everything around her.
Gu Siting dared not look at her too much, afraid that if he did, the plane tickets would have to be rescheduled.
He took her hand, “Let’s go!”
Ming Yao saw that Gu Siting hardly looked at her; she touched her face, wondering if he didn’t like the makeup she’d done?
“Husband, how do I look today?”
The man responded with a low hum.
What does hum mean?
Once they were in the Bentley, Ming Yao turned to Lu Zhou, who was driving, “Assistant Lu, it’s appropriate to meet the elders dressed like this, isn’t it?”
Lu Zhou glanced at Ming Yao, her stunningly beautiful appearance would look good in anything, and the elders would like it too.
“Wife, you look beautiful in anything.”
Ming Yao’s lips curved into a smile, “Assistant Lu, you have a way with words.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the car suddenly grew colder.
Lu Zhou glanced at the man with the stern handsome face beside Ming Yao and promptly swallowed back what he was about to say.
Ming Yao saw that Lu Zhou was intimidated by Tyrant Gu beside her, and she sneakily pinched his arm.
“Assistant Lu, still diligently working as the New Year approaches, and you’re giving him the cold shoulder?”
Gu Siting’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, “So, you’re berating your husband for Assistant Lu’s sake?”
Lu Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Fourth Master, the lady certainly wasn’t berating you on my account.”
Ming Yao couldn’t help but let out a giggle, “Assistant Lu, don’t worry. With me here, Fourth Master won’t do anything to you.”
Lu Zhou, “…” No no, Mrs. Gu, you’re wrong— it’s precisely because you’re here that Fourth Master will want to do something to me!
Ming Yao, looking at Lu Zhou’s handsome features, suddenly felt the urge to play matchmaker, “Assistant Lu, I recall you mentioning last time that you don’t have a girlfriend yet, right?”
Lu Zhou managed a stiff smile, “That’s right, Mrs. Gu.”
“You’ve met my little assistant, haven’t you? Zhong Ling, a really lovely and cute girl, and she’s ambitious too. I think you two would be quite a match!”

As the Chief Assistant of Gu Corporation, Lu Zhou was second only to one, but above thousands, wielding no small amount of power.
He owned property not only in Li City but also in the capital city. Handsome and capable,
Ming Yao certainly didn’t want to let such a catch slip through to someone else!
Lu Zhou hadn’t expected Ming Yao to try and set him up. After coughing once, he said, “Mrs. Gu, I haven’t planned on dating anyone these past few years.”
Previously, his family had pressured him into a relationship, and he found it too exhausting. He was busy with work, at Fourth Master’s beck and call, with no time to spend with a girlfriend.
The girlfriend had run off with someone else, and when he returned to his hometown, he would occasionally be the butt of jokes among his relatives.
He didn’t want to experience it a second time.
Seeing Lu Zhou refuse, Ming Yao felt a faint twinge of disappointment.
“Zhong Ling is such a clever and kind girl, truly not bad at all…”
She hadn’t finished speaking when a delicate white hand was seized into the palm of the man beside her.
The man gave her a look.
Ming Yao seemed to catch on to something and didn’t say more.
After arriving at the airport, Ming Yao and Gu Siting entered the VIP lounge.
Ming Yao couldn’t resist asking, “Did Assistant Lu suffer from a past heartbreak?”
Gu Siting originally disliked discussing other people’s private matters, but seeing his wife so interested, he went ahead and told her about Lu Zhou’s last relationship and being abandoned.
After listening, Ming Yao rested her chin on her fingers, musing, “No wonder Assistant Lu doesn’t want to date again. His ex really did go too far, spending so much of his money and then running off with someone else, and spreading rumors about him on top of that!”
“But Zhong Ling is definitely not that kind of person,” Ming Yao clung to her husband’s arm, coquettishly swaying, “Husband, as Assistant Lu’s boss, you want him to find happiness too, right? Even if he doesn’t marry now, he’ll have to eventually. You should help him find a girl who’s kind-hearted and ambitious, right?”
“After all, with a stable family, he’ll be able to work even harder in the future. If there’s a chance, please put in a good word for my little assistant in front of Assistant Lu. Who knows, maybe we can matchmake a wonderful couple!”
Gu Siting looked helplessly at Ming Yao, his long, distinct fingers pinching her elegant nose, “I had no idea you had a hobby of playing matchmaker.”
Ming Yao huffed, “I have many hobbies! When I first came back from rebirth, I even shipped you and Assistant Lu!”
Gu Siting, “…”
Seeing the hint of danger in the man’s eyes, Ming Yao quickly distanced herself.
“Min-, little-, Yao, come here!”
She wouldn’t go over there. If she did now, wouldn’t he beat her up?
Ming Yao turned and headed towards the self-service counter at the VIP airport lounge.
At that moment, the sound of high heels clacking on the floor rang out.
Ming Yao turned her head and saw the woman she had encountered last time at the hotel coming towards her.
Today she was dressed in a pale yellow suit jacket, white wide-leg pants, and black high heels—a stylish yet professional casual outfit.
Compared to their last meeting, she seemed a bit different.
She had cut her hair into bangs, which made her look younger and more professional.
“Fourth Brother, what a coincidence. Are you also headed back to the capital?”
