Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Don’t Fucking Act Cute in Front of Me
Ming Yao’s lips curved into a smile, “I haven’t decided yet, I’ll let Fourth Master know when I do~”
Gu Siting, “Don’t fucking act coy in front of me!”
Ming Yao blinked, “I’m not, you just haven’t seen me really act coy yet!”
Gu Siting imagined for a moment the Little Maid acting genuinely coy, and he couldn’t help but get goosebumps on his arms.
He was really quite ill.
To actually exchange so many words with this Little Maid.
With a cold face, he no longer spoke another word to her and strode away.
That retreating figure did seem to carry a hint of flustered escape.
Ming Yao couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle.
Who would have thought, Tyrant Gu was such a romantic!
She said a few casual words, and he seemed a bit overwhelmed.
But—
Ming Yao touched her face.
Why would he doubt that Mu Chengjin would be interested in her current appearance?
Could it be that these Young Masters, having grown tired of beautiful women, now preferred the ones a bit less pretty?
Or could it be, her inner qualities were truly charming, enchanting these Young Masters?
Ming Yao shivered and decided not to flatter herself!
The next day.
Gu Siting arrived at the small western-style building to have breakfast with Mu Chengjin.
Mu Chengjin glanced several times towards the door.
“Aunt Zhong, why haven’t I seen Fujin?”
Gu Siting put down his knife and fork, his black eyes dark and intense as he looked at Mu Chengjin.
Mu Chengjin hadn’t noticed Gu Siting’s gaze, only looking towards Aunt Zhong.
Aunt Zhong explained, “Fujin hurt her arm, and Fourth Master allowed her to rest; she took leave to visit her boyfriend at the hospital.”
Mu Chengjin was momentarily stunned.
He didn’t seem to expect that Gu Fuzhen had a boyfriend.
Gu Siting didn’t miss the fleeting look of loss in Mu Chengjin’s clear eyes.
“She and her boyfriend are deeply in love,” Gu Siting added with gravity.
Mu Chengjin came to his senses, a light smile appearing on his handsome face, “Fujin is a good girl, she deserves to be loved.”
Gu Siting, “…”
…
Ming Yao, due to her injury, received special permission from Gu Siting to rest for a few days.
She’s been away from the Imperial Garden during the day lately, either returning to her rented house in the suburbs or back to the Ming Residence.
Old Madam Ming’s health was getting worse. Logically, after taking her medicine, her condition should have improved!
That day, she took Old Madam Ming’s pulse quietly while she was resting.
Without taking her pulse, all seemed fine, but once she did, she was furiously upset.
The toxins in the Old Madam’s body hadn’t been suppressed; on the contrary, they had intensified.
How could this be?
Was it possible she hadn’t taken the medicine she provided?
Ming Yao immediately called Xiao He over.
Xiao He was the maid Jing Hang found for Ming Yao.
“Miss, I’ve discreetly checked every meal for the Old Madam, and there’s nothing wrong with them.”
Ming Yao frowned slightly, “Is there anything unusual about the servants in the Ming Residence?”
“So far, nothing seems out of the ordinary.”
Ming Yao’s slender fingers rubbed her chin thoughtfully, “Does the Old Madam take the medicine I give her on time every day?”
If she took her medicine, it wouldn’t completely remove the toxins, but it should prevent them from worsening.
“Nanny Rong is the one tending to the Old Madam up close, so I can’t get close. However, I heard that Mr. Ming doesn’t allow the Old Madam to take medicine indiscriminately. If the toxins in the Old Madam are intensifying, could Mr. Ming have thrown away the medicine you provided?”
It wasn’t impossible.
The day she left the Ming Residence, she encountered the unpleasant Ming Guoan.
Ming Yao’s eyes turned slightly colder, “Besides her diet, check every place the Old Madam usually goes.”
Xiao He nodded.
Ming Yao planned to have lunch with the Old Madam then return to the Imperial Garden in the afternoon, but instead, she received a message that took her completely by surprise and yet somehow delighted her.
Tyrant Gu and Mu Chengjin were going to visit her and her boyfriend at the hospital!!!
