Chapter 267 -366: She Left Without Looking Back
Ming Yao pulled open the door of the makeup room and left without looking back.
Gu Siting watched Ming Yao’s retreating figure, his narrow eyes enigmatic.
It took him quite a while before he finally walked out.
“Hey, Fourth Master, what are you doing here?” Xie Tianyu came looking for Ming Yao with the script in hand but saw Gu Siting instead.
Gu Siting’s dark eyes coldly looked at Xie Tianyu, and his thin lips curved into a smile that was not quite a smile, “Looking forward to the kissing scene with her?”
The man’s presence was powerful and aloof, as if he intended to freeze the air around him.
Xie Tianyu shivered, “I… don’t understand what you mean, Fourth Master?”
He knew Fourth Master was the biggest investor in this drama, as long as the movie made money when it was released, that should be fine, right?
But why did he feel that Fourth Master’s hostility toward him was not small?
Gu Siting walked up to Xie Tianyu and slapped his shoulder, “Kid, don’t dream too much at such a young age!”
Xie Tianyu felt pain in his shoulder as Gu Siting’s large hand squeezed it, as if he was about to crush his bones.
By the time he recovered from the pain, the distant and indifferent man had already walked far away!
Zhong Ling looked at Ming Yao, who had returned to the resting room without changing her clothes, and sighed softly.
It seemed that even though Fourth Master personally came over, he didn’t manage to coax Sister Yao.
Before long, Lu Zhou arrived.
He was holding a coat that seemed to have been worn by Fourth Master.

“Xiao Zhong, please give this coat to the wife,” he said.
Zhong Ling took the coat, and looking at Lu Zhou’s clean-cut and indifferent face, she asked quietly, “Assistant Lu, do you know what’s wrong with Fourth Master and Sister Yao?”
Lu Zhou shook his head, “I’m not sure. It’s best for us not to inquire into the master’s private affairs.”
Zhong Ling nodded, somewhat understanding.
So many people wanted to be Fourth Master’s assistant, but only Lu Zhou managed to become the Chief Assistant. This was probably also related to his policy of never prying into the master’s private matters, right?
Zhong Ling wanted to become Sister Yao’s top assistant; she had a lot to learn from Assistant Lu.
Zhong Ling nodded joyfully at Lu Zhou, “Okay, I’ll bring it to Sister Yao right away.”
Zhong Ling gave the coat to Ming Yao, and though Ming Yao was upset, she wouldn’t let it interfere with her rest, “Just put it on the bed!”
Zhong Ling placed the coat on the bed.
Inwardly, she pondered; Sister Yao clearly cared about Fourth Master, sleeping every night clutching his coat, and Fourth Master also ran all the way to see Sister Yao, so why couldn’t the two of them reconcile?
The next day.
Jih Feng held a meeting with the cast members of the drama.
The screenwriters had revised the script overnight.
Everyone had serious dark circles under their eyes.
Jih Feng also had nearly gone without sleep the whole night.
Ming Yao deeply appreciated the hard work of the behind-the-scenes crew.
Jih Feng pulled Ming Yao aside, “In the future, have your husband come to the set less often. I think we might have an easier time.”
Ming Yao glanced at the script and realized that even scenes like hugging had been completely deleted.
Thinking about how he had not said a word after she confronted him last night, Ming Yao’s lips curved with a cold sneer, “He probably won’t be coming over anymore!”
By noon, after the morning scenes were shot, some staff members from a five-star hotel arrived.
They pushed trolleys loaded with plenty of exquisite food and drinks.
Xiao Yichen had come to visit Ming Wan on set.
Being able to enjoy five-star hotel food in the mountains, the crew members were all very happy.
Especially a few of the younger actors who had a good relationship with Ming Wan.
They knew that Ming Wan was the most favored daughter of Director Jiang from Starlight Entertainment, and they had always been trying to curry favor with her.
“Wanwan, President Xiao is so considerate!”
“Not only is President Xiao considerate, but he’s also tall, rich, and handsome!”
“Only a gentle and beautiful girl with good family background like Wanwan deserves someone like him!”
Ming Wan watched as Xiao Yichen personally distributed food and beverages to the cast and crew, the corners of her lips curling up in a sweet, happy smile.
When Xiao Yichen came to the film set this time, he did it under the pretext of seeing Ming Wan, but in reality, he came to see Ming Yao.
He had watched Ming Yao’s competition in the medical contest livestream.
It was completely beyond his expectations.
He had not expected that Ming Yao was also versed in medical arts, and had reached a level of mastery!
Seeing Ming Yao sitting alone, reading the script, Xiao Yichen took a cup of coffee and walked towards her.
Ming Yao heard the footsteps but didn’t lift her eyelids even once.
Xiao Yichen stopped in front of Ming Yao’s lounge chair and spoke in a low voice, “Yaoyao.”
Ming Yao unconsciously frowned a little.
She felt disgusted by this address.
“Yaoyao, I saw the livestream of the medical contest. You are even more excellent than I imagined.” Xiao Yichen’s attitude towards Ming Yao took a full one hundred and eighty-degree turn, “I misunderstood you in the past, and I’m here to apologize.”
Ming Yao lazily yawned, acting as if she hadn’t heard Xiao Yichen’s words.
“I have a friend who has a strange illness. Could you take a look?” Actually, it wasn’t his friend but the wife of one of his clients who, six months earlier, started to develop small bumps all over her body, and no hospital could determine the cause.
The client, knowing that Ming Yao was Xiao Yichen’s former first love, approached Xiao Yichen.
If Ming Yao could examine his wife, he would sign a contract and enter into a partnership with Xiao Yichen.
Ming Yao’s lips curled up into a light sneer, “President Xiao, your girlfriend is a disciple of Prof. Wei. You can go find her.”
At the mention of this, Xiao Yichen’s face turned various shades of blue and purple.
The incident where Ming Wan nearly became a disciple of Prof. Wei caused him to be ridiculed by those in Upper Society.
He used to think that Ming Wan was better than Ming Yao in every aspect, but lately, Ming Wan seemed to be falling short in everything she did compared to Ming Yao.
But Ming Wan was the girl he had fallen in love with, and despite her blunders, he had not said anything against her.
“Yaoyao, are you still blaming me for our breakup back then?”
Ming Yao couldn’t help rolling her eyes, “President Xiao, not even Pangu had as much face as you, right?”
Xiao Yichen’s face turned ugly with rage; he had not expected Ming Yao to be so disrespectful.
Ming Yao didn’t want to talk more with Xiao Yichen, so she got up, ready to leave.
Xiao Yichen, without thinking, reached out to grab Ming Yao’s hand.
But before he could touch her fingertips, she shook him off.
Just as Ming Yao was about to say something, Ming Wan came over in a fury, “Ming Yao, it was bad enough you flirted with Xie Tianyu on the set, but now you’re even trying to seduce my boyfriend? Just because you had a falling out with the Fourth Master, does it mean everyone else has to get dragged down with you?”
Ming Yao pulled up the corners of her lips sarcastically, “Which of your eyes saw me trying to seduce your boyfriend? He isn’t even fit to carry my shoes!”
Ming Yao tucked her hands into her coat pockets, a coolness wrapping around her eyes, as she indifferently walked away.
Xiao Yichen watched Ming Yao’s cold and remote back disappear into the distance. She seemed to have truly forgotten him, wiped clean from her memory.
It wasn’t just forgetting; she now seemed to have a strong aversion to him.
Xiao Yichen couldn’t describe the feeling, but his entire chest felt uncomfortable.
Ming Wan watched as Xiao Yichen gazed unwaveringly at Ming Yao’s retreating figure, her hands hanging by her sides clenched into fists.
In the shadows, someone witnessed this scene and, after taking several photos, smirked meaningfully.
