Chapter 273 -272: Ming Xiaoyao, I’ve Tolerated You For a Long Time!

Ming Yao was wearing a silky black V-neck long dress with a waist cinching design. The V-neck at the front plunged spectacularly, bearing her fragrant shoulders and her tantalizing cleavage.

A bow was tied at her back, and with just a gentle tug, the bow would come undone, exposing her entire graceful back.

Her skin was snowy white, setting off a stark contrast against the black dress, a striking allure to the eye.

Ming Yao saw that the man was gazing at her intently, his dark eyes deep and fiery. She lifted her long fingers to brush her hair at her cheek, “I didn’t expect you to be this bored.”

Gu Siting’s jaw was tense, and he spoke in a deep voice, “I had Yanxi help me buy it.”

Ming Yao arched an eyebrow, “He has good taste, but it’s a bit revealing. Are you sure you want me to wear this as your model?”

Gu Siting’s tongue touched his cheek lightly, his voice turning huskier, “It is indeed a test of my restraint.”

The man picked up the gold-rimmed glasses from the table and placed them on his nose, shed his suit jacket, leaving on just a hand-made black shirt. He rolled up the sleeves slightly, revealing his muscular and resilient arms. He exuded an air of noble, cold elegance, coupled with a touch of asceticism.

Ming Yao, seeing that he was serious about painting, dropped the coyness, and leaned forward on the bed with a smile brimming in her eyes.

She propped her cheek with one hand, her eyebrows and eyes smiling as she looked at the man, her lips red and teeth white, radiantly irresistible.

Gu Siting adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, glanced at her, and began to paint with focus.

Oil painting was a lengthy process, and after about an hour, Ming Yao grew tired from leaning forward, but she couldn’t move. Her eyelids grew heavy.

As he watched her long eyelashes tremble like fluttering butterfly wings, Gu Siting’s lips curved in a fond smile.

He hastened the strokes of his paintbrush.

On the canvas, the stunningly exquisite woman lay on the bed, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, shielding the view of her plunging neckline; her snowy, delicate skin peeking through the strands of hair. Her petite, oval face framed by exquisite, unparalleled features, as if a blooming red rose, beckoning to be plucked.

As Gu Siting looked at the woman on the canvas, his Adam’s apple bobbed.

Finally, he picked up a red paintbrush and lightly added an enchanting beauty mark beneath the corner of the woman’s eye.

The painting was complete.

Ming Yao felt someone embracing her, and she opened her bleary eyes, looking at the man before her, she said groggily, “Is it finished?”

The man hummed softly in affirmation.

The sleepiness in Ming Yao’s mind vanished in an instant.

“I want to take a look!” She was especially eager to see how he had portrayed her!

Barefoot, Ming Yao walked over to the easel.

Seeing the oil painting before her, Ming Yao’s eyes shone with admiration.

“Husband, your painting skills are just too good!”

It was truly the likeness of a fairy in her prime!

His artistry could be said to surpass even that of Su Mo, without falling short in any aspect.

Even if he gave up being a CEO, he could make a fortune as a renowned painter.

But Gu Siting’s attention wasn’t on the painting. He took off his glasses and his deep, dark eyes fixed on the bow at the back of the woman’s dress.

His long fingers reached out.

With a gentle pull, the bow came undone, baring the woman’s slender and elegant back.

Her milky white skin was as smooth and delicate as a peeled egg.

Ming Yao gasped, instinctively holding on to the sliding dress, but in the next second, she was lifted into the air as the man scooped her up horizontally.

He pressed her onto the bed.

His kisses trailed down her slender, white neck, slowly reaching her bare back.

The man’s low voice murmured into her ear, “Ming Xiaoyao, I’ve been enduring you for a long time!”

…

Ever since he gave her the nanny car, the man had been coming over every now and then.

Of course, she’d come over at night and leave before dawn the next day.

Poor Ming Yao.

Her back ached and she was tired, yet she still had to shoot her film.

“Peerless” was in the midst of filming when the location was changed.

After spending over half a month on set, Jih Feng gave Ming Yao a day off.

Originally, Ming Yao wanted to go back to Imperial Garden to surprise Gu Siting, but on her way, she received a call from Zhou Yanyan, crying, “Sister Yao, are you in Li City? I really don’t know what to do, my mom is about to be taken to the police station!”

Zhou Yanyan was sobbing uncontrollably, and Ming Yao comforted her before finding out the reason.

Her expression darkened as she said coldly, “I’ll come over right away!”

Ever since Zhou Zhiyan’s academic dishonesty and the photo scandal were exposed, she had been completely disheartened.

Madam Zhou’s heart ached for her daughter, seeing her like this.

She vented all her anger on Su Lan and Zhou Yanyan.

It was bad enough that she made life difficult for them at the Zhou Family home, but this time, she went as far as to falsely accuse Su Lan of stealing Old Lady Zhou’s heirloom Jade Bracelet.

The Jade Bracelet was originally meant for Su Lan, but after the Eldest Young Master Zhou died, Old Lady Zhou always kept it on her person.

Recently, as Second Young Master Zhou took full control of Zhou Corporation, Madam Zhou pressured the old lady, who had no choice but to hand over the heirloom bracelet.

But coincidentally, when Old Lady Zhou sent someone to retrieve it, the Jade Bracelet was gone.

The Jade Bracelet was worth a hundred million, and most crucially, it was an heirloom passed down through the women of the Zhou Family.

It wasn’t just extravagantly priced; it also held extraordinary significance.

Old Lady Zhou immediately ordered a search throughout the whole house.

As a result, the servants found a shattered Jade Bracelet in Su Lan’s room.

Old Lady Zhou and Madam Zhou were both furious to the point of death, threatening to send Su Lan to the police station.

Zhou Yanyan was so scared that she snuck out to ask Ming Yao for help.

After Zhou Yanyan finished the call and returned to the living room, she saw two male servants already holding Su Lan by the arms, ready to take her to the police station.

“Let go of my mom!” Zhou Yanyan rushed at them.

But before she could get close to Su Lan, Madam Zhou harshly slapped her across the face.

“Zhou Yanyan, your mother stole the Zhou Family’s heirloom. If you plead for her, I’ll send you to the station along with her!”

Zhou Yanyan was emotionally charged and indignantly said, “My mother isn’t that kind of person, you must have framed her!”

Madam Zhou gritted her teeth. This little wretch was actually daring to speak to her in such a tone now. Who gave her the confidence?

She might be powerless against Ming Yao, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t handle her and her daughter, did it?

Now that her husband was in charge of the Zhou Family, they were living comfortably because she allowed it. If she let them live, they could live; if she wanted them dead, they’d have to die!

“Rebelling against the heavens, someone take Zhou Yanyan to the confinement room!”

Since Second Young Master Zhou had taken full control of Zhou Corporation, Old Lady Zhou’s words didn’t carry as much weight in the household as Madam Zhou’s.

Upon hearing Madam Zhou’s orders, the servants immediately went to seize Zhou Yanyan.

“I didn’t steal the jade bracelet. Yanyan and I have lived honest lives. If the Zhou Family can’t accommodate us, we can leave!” Su Lan had been suffering in silence for years, taking into consideration that these were her late husband’s family. She had always tried to step back and give them space, never fighting over anything.

But now, they had gone too far!

If they really sent her to jail, it would ruin her daughter Yanyan’s future as well!

What prestigious university or company would want a student or employee whose mother had been in prison?

“Thinking of leaving? It’s not so easy. You stole the heirloom and even destroyed it. For that alone, you should sit in jail for a decade or so! Take Su Lan to the police station!”

Just as the servants were forcibly taking Su Lan to the police station, a slender and stunning figure walked in.
