Chapter 262: Chapter 261: She Entered the Room on the Third Floor
Ming Yao returned to the Fang Residence just as Gu Siting had finished packing his luggage.
Seeing Ming Yao come back, he said in a low voice, “I’m preparing to return to Li City. Have a look at your things, and see if you have left anything behind?”
In the past when she would come home, he would hug her and kiss her upon seeing her, but now he wouldn’t even hold her hand.
Was it because today was the anniversary of his important woman?
Ming Yao sneered coldly in her heart.
She didn’t glance at him and walked into the room.
She thought he would follow her in, but instead, he left the courtyard.
Furious, Ming Yao kicked his suitcase to the ground.
She was so angry!
Hadn’t he said he liked her?
Hadn’t he said she was indispensable to him?
Last time she had left him and run away to the Nunnery, yet he had searched far and wide to find her and convinced her to come back with him.
During this time, he had done many things that touched her deeply.
She had just begun to have feelings for him and understood what it was like to like someone, only for him to suddenly become so cold towards her!
She had long wanted to remain beautifully alone and never fall for any man again!
It was he who had first stirred her heart.
Now that she was hooked, was he planning to abandon her?
Did he want to spend the rest of his life as a eunuch?
Ming Yao clenched her teeth and glared fiercely at the distant figure of the man walking away from the doorway.
After going around the room and noticing that he had packed all her things into the suitcase, she felt slightly better.
They were going to return to Li City, and it was time to say goodbye to the Fang Family.
Fang Keer learned that she was leaving and was very reluctant to see her go, wiping away tears.
“Sister-in-law, you’re leaving after just a few days? A lot of unpleasant things have happened recently, but they’re not your fault. It’s our Fang Family who owes you an apology!”
The usually silent and reticent Fang Chimo came over to give Ming Yao a gift he had made himself and then ran off.
“Sister-in-law, my brother likes you a lot too. It’s a wood carving he made himself. I saw his hands were injured doing it. I asked him to carve one for me before, but he didn’t want to.”
Ming Yao looked at the wood carving Fang Chimo gave her, and it did indeed resemble her.
“I like it very much. Thank him for me, will you?”
Old Master Fang and Old Madam Fang were also reluctant to see Ming Yao go, continuously urging her to stay a few more days.
“I’m about to join a production crew soon. Next time I have the chance, I’ll come visit you again.”
After saying goodbye to Old Master Fang and Old Madam Fang, Ming Yao walked toward Old Madam Gu’s courtyard.
Ming Wan had already been expelled from the Fang Residence by Old Master Fang, and Old Madam Gu, who was upset, was also preparing to return to Li City.
Seeing Ming Yao come over, Old Madam Gu didn’t show any displeasure, but she was also lacking her usual enthusiasm and warmth.
Ming Yao spoke up, “Grandma Gu, Siting and I are going back.”
Old Madam Gu looked at Ming Yao’s stunningly beautiful face and slightly furrowed her brows, then suddenly asked an explosive question out of the blue, “Who exactly are you?”
Ming Yao’s heart skipped a beat, “I am Ming Yao.”
Old Madam Gu’s gaze seemed to try to see through her, “Your father and sister said that you never learned medicine before, and that where you were taken to in the countryside was a remote and poor place where it was impossible for you to acquire such skills. Moreover, half a year ago, your relationship with Ah Ting was also hostile.”
She had sought another prediction from the master at Huafa Temple.
The master had said that something unusual surely harbors a demon, and as for the rest, it was up to her to comprehend!
Naturally, Ming Yao wouldn’t tell Old Madam Gu that she was reborn, otherwise, given the old lady’s current prejudice and level of dislike for her, she would certainly be regarded as a demon and perhaps even sent to some special research institute as a living experiment subject.
“When I was in the countryside, I had an amazing master who taught me many things. Ming Guoan and Ming Wan weren’t aware of it. I didn’t want to draw attention to myself at first, so I hid my talents. But later on, I realized the more I hid, the more I was bullied, so I simply adopted the approach of ‘strike down any god, buddha, or demon in my way!'”
Old Madam Gu stared at Ming Yao for a few seconds but finally said nothing more. She waved her hand, “You may go!”
Although the master did not fully disclose his predictions when divining, he did mention that the marriage between Ming Yao and Ah Ting wouldn’t last long, advising her just to wait quietly!
…
Ming Yao and Gu Siting returned to Li City.
There were many documents in the company that needed Gu Siting’s signature, so he went to the office after coming back.
Ming Yao watched a movie at home while holding Little Snowball.
Seeing Steward Zhong walk through the living room, her mind involuntarily recalled the words he had told her before.
Back then, she didn’t care at all about what was in that room on the third floor.
Because in her heart, Gu Siting was just a tool to help her sleep, and once she cured her insomnia, she would disappear from his side.
After that, he would be no different from any other stranger.
But now—
It was tearing her apart, causing her to lose her peace of mind.
Even if it meant invading his privacy, she wanted to take a peek inside!
Ming Yao was someone who acted on her impulses.
She put Little Snowball down on the couch and found a fine wire, heading toward the third floor.
The last room at the end of the corridor.
Ming Yao stood at the door of that room.
She twisted the doorknob, and sure enough, it was locked from the inside.
She glanced at the staircase, guessing that at this time, Gu Siting would not be returning, and neither Steward Zhong nor Aunt Zhong would come upstairs.
Taking a deep breath, Ming Yao inserted the wire into the lock.

In just a few seconds, she opened the door.
Ming Yao pushed the door and walked in.
The curtains in the room were drawn tight, leaving it pitch-black.
Ming Yao closed the door behind her and, with a click, turned on the light.
Seeing the contents of the room, she froze in shock.
The room, spanning over twenty square meters, looked like an art studio.
On the walls, there were about twenty or thirty paintings of varying sizes.
And all the paintings depicted the same person.
That stunningly gorgeous woman on the tombstone.
Most of these paintings were oil paintings.
Upon seeing one in particular, Ming Yao’s breath caught sharply.
The stunningly beautiful girl lay on an Imperial Concubine’s Couch covered in red roses, without any clothes, only a thin blanket draped over her slender waist. She tilted her head back slightly, gazing at the person painting her, her neck as elegant as a swan’s, back slender and smooth, her skin as lustrous as a peeled egg.
Her long black hair cascaded down one side, covering what would be visible from the front.
Her slim legs were bent slightly upwards, her misty eyes playful with a coquettish smile, and amidst frailty, there was an irresistible allure.
Such a girl was like a delicate flower in a greenhouse, unimaginably lovely.
Every inch of her facial features and every expression were meticulously brought to life in the oil painting.
Only a love burning with intense passion could depict her so vividly.
Ming Yao’s mind couldn’t help but conjure up such an image.
On a sunny afternoon, the man sat in front of an easel, the woman laid on the couch, sharing a loving smile, their affection unrestrained.
It wasn’t just this painting; the others also conveyed the artist’s fervent feelings for the subject!
