The orange light refracted from above and landed on the woman’s cold yet stunningly beautiful face.
Standing on tiptoes, the woman slightly parted her red lips and exhaled a puff of smoke toward the man’s handsome face.
Amid the mint scent of the lady’s cigarette, there was a hint of the woman’s own unique cool and faint fragrance.
Gu Siting watched the seductive woman, dark eyes as deep as dangerous whirlpools, his entire being emanated a chilling and indifferent aura.
“Are you courting death?”
Ming Yao flicked the ash from the tip of the cigarette and brought her lips close to the man, their mouths only a finger’s joint apart.
“Hubby, has Grandma Gu agreed to our divorce yet? Or should I give her a call? If she agrees, I’ll sign immediately, okay?”
Her voice carried a whiff of grievance, yet it was flirtatious as if cooed in soft murmurs.
As she spoke, her fragrant chill scent wafted subtly to his nose, causing Gu Siting’s dark pupils to darken slightly, his Adam’s apple rolling unconsciously.
There are women in this world who are like poison wrapped in honey.
Even though he knew she wasn’t sincere, he couldn’t resist her momentary temptation.
Of course, this had nothing to do with love, it was just a temptation!
No wonder many men were captivated by this woman. When she stirred up trouble, she was like a disastrous water sprite!
Thinking of how she had also seduced other men with these tactics, a coldness seeped through Gu Siting’s narrowed eyes.
He grasped her slender wrist and pushed her away forcefully.
Ming Yao staggered backwards, her delicate shoulders hitting the hard wall.
A sharp pain pierced through her.
Damn it!
This brutish and heartless asshole!
No wonder the rumors said he was gay. With such a frigid demeanor, any woman who fancies him must be utterly jinxed!
Ming Yao rubbed her sore shoulder, a radiant smile brewing on her exquisite face, “Don’t tell me you want to divorce me without Grandma Gu’s consent? How will you explain it to her when she comes back?”
Gu Siting, never cherished by his parents since he was young, had only Old Madam Gu protecting him in the Gu family.
He was decisive and ruthless, yet he possessed a gentle side.
He always returned the kindness shown to him twofold.
For example, to Mu Chengjin, to Grandma Gu…
But he wasn’t so forgiving to those who had wronged him.
Of course, for Ming Yao, who had cuckolded him, not only did he not punish her, he signed the divorce papers quickly and decisively, simply because he had no interest in her!
To be blunt, she meant less to him than a stranger; he was too disdainful to devise any revenge.
Gu Siting’s brows furrowed, his voice cold as frost, “If you don’t sign now, you won’t even get a single cent from me!”
“Hubby, I’ve never wanted a billion dollars, I wanted you!”
Gu Siting’s face darkened instantly.
Was this woman growing bolder? What, was she planning to harm him in secret, hoping for his death so she could swallow his entire fortune?
Unaware of Gu Siting’s imagination of a ‘plot to seize wealth and murder’, Ming Yao targeted his suit jacket, trying to approach him again when his cellphone began to vibrate.
When he took out his phone, Ming Yao glanced at it.
A call from Old Madam Gu.
Gu Siting turned his back to take the call from Old Madam Gu.
Ming Yao could not hear what the old lady was saying, but suddenly, she moved forward and embraced him from behind.
The moment her tender arms wrapped around his lean waist, Gu Siting stiffened in surprise.
Before he could push her away, her soft and seductive voice filled the air, “It hurts…”
That sound, neither loud nor quiet, whimperingly sweet, reached the ears of Old Madam Gu on the phone.
