Chapter 203 -202: He Lifted Her Up Horizontally
Xia Yiwan held up five fingers, “I will give you the entire fifty million from the rewards and sales share as your endorsement fee!”
Ming Yao tied her long hair into a bun, tilting her head and lightly curving her red lips, “Wanwan, fifty million can get you a first-tier celebrity endorsement.”
Xia Yiwan hugged Ming Yao, pouting her lips, “I don’t care, I just want to spend the money on my Yaoyao.”
Ming Yao curled the corner of her lips, “Treat me to midnight snacks tonight.”
Xia Yiwan nodded hurriedly, “No problem, I’ll book a high-end restaurant right away.”
“Don’t book one, a street stall is fine,” she said.
Xia Yiwan, “…” Such a beautiful Little Fairy, actually going to eat at a street stall?
But what they ate wasn’t important, what mattered was making the Little Fairy happy.
After changing her clothes, Ming Yao went to the street stall with Xia Yiwan.
They ordered barbecue and beer.
After having downed several bottles with Ming Yao, the usually carefree Xia Yiwan finally noticed something was amiss.
Yaoyao wasn’t happy!
“Yaoyao, what’s wrong? Did you quarrel with your husband?”
Ming Yao didn’t speak, simply pouring another large gulp of liquor down her throat.
Xia Yiwan quickly held her back, “Yaoyao, you can’t keep drinking like this, you’ll get drunk.”
Ming Yao lifted her intoxicating, alluring eyes, “I want to get drunk. Wanwan, will you join me?”
Her already stunning face, now flushed with a pale red, took on an innocent charm amidst the seductive allure, making her look like a bewitching little vixen.
Xia Yiwan, a woman herself, was utterly captivated.
“Join, join, join, tonight, we won’t go home until we’re drunk!”
Xia Yiwan ordered another dozen beers.

The beer wasn’t strong, but drinking too much of it could still lead to intoxication.
An hour later, Xia Yiwan, blurry with drunkenness and slumped over the table, heard her phone ring. She took it out to look.
An unfamiliar number was calling.
“Hello?”
“Miss Xia,” a man’s deep, cold voice came from the other end of the line.
Xia Yiwan burped, her speech slightly slurred, “Who are you?”
“I am Ming Yao’s husband, is she with you?”
Ming Yao’s husband?
Hearing these four words, the tipsiness in Xia Yiwan’s mind seemed to fade a bit.
She glanced at Ming Yao, who was sitting beside her, fiddling with a glass, and squeezed her eyes at her, mouthing the words, “Your husband called.”
Ming Yao casually glanced at Xia Yiwan’s phone in her hand.
She put down her glass, supporting her chin with her delicate white fingertips.
A lazy and cool laugh escaped her lips.
“I don’t have a husband anymore, he doesn’t deserve to be a human, in my heart, he’s already dead.”
“Tell him I don’t want him anymore.”
“The divorce agreement is in the drawer of the bedside table, tell him to sign it and not to interrupt me from finding a handsome young man!”
Xia Yiwan caught on and quickly covered the phone.
Sister, you are really drunk!
Xia Yiwan was not sure if the man on the other end of the line had heard, but she distinctly felt his breathing become heavier.
“Ahem, Fourth Master, Yaoyao drank a bit too much.”
“Where are you guys?”
Whether it was Xia Yiwan’s illusion or not, the man’s voice sounded gloomy and chilly, like the cold winds from Siberia.
“Xia Yiwan, you better not tell him!”
Before Xia Yiwan could say anything, the man on the phone spoke, “Tell me the address, I’m taking her home.”
A slender white hand reached out directly, snatched Xia Yiwan’s phone away, and then pressed the hang-up button.
Gu Siting was just coming out of Gu Corporation with Yanxi when he called Xia Yiwan.
Yanxi was close to Gu Siting, and he vaguely heard the voice on the other end of the phone.
He clicked his tongue.
Who would’ve thought, after just three short days, Ming Yao had become so badass!
Not only had she transformed into Shelly, but she was also so tough in front of Fourth Brother!
Divorce?
Looking for a young hunk?
What did that make Fourth Brother in her heart?
A dried-up old man?
Yanxi couldn’t help but laugh mischievously.
Gu Siting was already in a very foul mood, and upon seeing Yanxi laugh, he shot him a cold glare.
Yanxi immediately shut his mouth.
“Fourth Brother, where are you going?”
“To find someone.”
Yanxi volunteered right away, “I’m good at finding people, let me send someone to look for them on your behalf.”
Gu Siting hummed softly in agreement.
After about half an hour, Yanxi’s people sent over a location.
“Fourth Brother, found her.”
No sooner had Yanxi finished speaking than the Bentley quickly sped away.
Ming Yao let herself go completely, ending up face down on the table.
Xia Yiwan still had a trace of consciousness—she waved over the owner to settle the bill.
After paying, she tried to help Ming Yao up, but suddenly noticed two figures walking toward them.
The man in the lead was tall and straight, his handsome face bore a cold indifference, and he looked somewhat familiar.
Ming Yao was leaning on Xia Yiwan’s shoulder, her long hair covering her flushed little face, her body clad in a thin knit sweater. When she leaned on Xia Yiwan, her snow-white shoulder was exposed.
Gu Siting furrowed his brows, took off his coat, wrapped it around Ming Yao, and then lifted her up horizontally.
The entire action was smooth and steady.
By the time Xia Yiwan reacted and tried to take Ming Yao back, it was already too late.
Gu Siting glanced at Xia Yiwan, who was staggering and clearly had too much to drink, and said in a deep voice to Yanxi following him, “Make sure she gets home safely.”
Yanxi gestured OK with his hand.
Ming Yao smelled the familiar and pleasant scent of cold pine, wrinkled her brow, and lifted her hazy, drunken eyes to look at the man in front of her, “Who are you?”
Gu Siting looked at the woman who was so drunk she didn’t even recognize him and his handsome face tightened, “Your husband.”
“My husband? I thought he was dead.”
Gu Siting, “…”
In his heart, Yanxi silently gave Ming Yao a thumbs-up. It seemed she was the only one daring enough to speak to Fourth Brother like that!
After placing Ming Yao in the back of the Bentley, Yanxi turned to look at the swaying Xia Yiwan.
“Miss, did you drive here?”
Xia Yiwan fumbled for the sports car keys from her bag, her eyes blurred with drunkenness as she looked at Yanxi, “Are you the designated driver?”
Yanxi, “…” Did he look like a designated driver? Was there something wrong with this girl’s eyesight?
“Please take me back.”
After handing over the car keys to him, Xia Yiwan climbed into the front passenger seat of the sports car ahead of him.
With the heating on in the car, Xia Yiwan took off her coat once she got in.
She was wearing a snow-white blouse, resting her head sideways and falling asleep against the seatback.
The first two buttons of the blouse were undone, revealing her delicate collarbones and hinting at the garment underneath.
Yanxi looked at this carefree girl, who didn’t have an ounce of defensiveness about her, saw her pretty face flushed red, her mouth slightly open, and a droplet glistening at the corner of her lips, and he was speechless.
He was accustomed to sophisticated socialites or stars who never wanted to be seen in an unflattering light, but he had never encountered a woman so unconcerned with her appearance and manners.
After the car had driven a distance, Xia Yiwan’s phone suddenly rang.
She jerked awake.
Upon seeing the incoming call from Zheng Yunche, a radiant smile spread across her face.
