Chapter 225 -224: Have You Been Lacking Charm Lately?
It then occurred to her that as the year-end approached, he was probably busy with work.
Old Madam Ming held Ming Yao’s hand and glanced at the feast she had prepared, “The two of us can’t finish all this food, pack some up and take it down to Gu Corporation for Xiao Gu.”
“You are husband and wife, it can’t just be that he treats you well, you have to treat him well too.”
Ming Yao smiled and nodded, “I will, don’t worry, Granny.”
After dinner, Ming Yao left the Ming Residence, carrying the packed container.
Zhong Ling was in the car working on business matters. Since “Peerless” announced that Ming Yao would play the lead female role, many brands had already started inviting her to film advertisements, and there were also some business activities and interviews lined up.
“Sister Yao, we have a photo shoot tomorrow, and an interview the day after.”
Ming Yao got into the car and hummed lazily in response.

“Also, during the New Year…”
Ming Yao raised her hand, “Don’t arrange any work for me during the New Year period; I want to go to the capital with my husband.”
“Sister Yao, this is the golden period of your career; you absolutely can’t get pregnant. During the New Year, make sure to take precautions!”
Ming Yao, “…”
Get pregnant? That damned man hasn’t even touched her recently!
“Uncle Wang, drive to Gu Corporation.”
She didn’t plan to send Gu Siting a message; she wanted to give him a surprise.
Forty minutes later, the car arrived across the street from Gu Corporation. Uncle Wang was about to make a U-turn to drive to the entrance of Gu Corporation when Ming Yao suddenly saw a tall figure exiting the building.
The man wasn’t alone—beside him was a young, beautiful woman dressed in professional attire.
The two of them got into the same car.
Zhong Ling also saw this scene.
She cautiously glanced at Ming Yao’s expression. Ming Yao still looked nonchalant, the lazy curve of her lips making it impossible to discern what was on her mind.
“Sister Yao, she’s probably a business client, right?”
The woman’s dress and demeanor were quite professional; she probably wasn’t some kind of mistress.
Ming Yao twirled a strand of hair that fell to her cheek with her fingertips, wrapping it around her finger twice, then said to Uncle Wang who was driving, “Follow that car ahead, but don’t get caught.”
The driver Ming Yao hired was naturally not just anyone.
Uncle Wang, in his forties, was a former fighting and racing champion.
Zhong Ling said uneasily, “Sister Yao, wouldn’t it be bad if Fourth Master found out?”
Ming Yao’s eyes narrowed slightly, “The meal I worked hard to make hasn’t even reached his hands yet!”
Zhong Ling, “…”
She was quite afraid that what followed would be a scene of the wife confronting the mistress. After all, this was the golden period of Sister Yao’s career. If her image was ruined, it would be tough to recover.
But she believed that Fourth Master wasn’t that kind of person, especially since Sister Yao’s beauty was peerless!
The Bentley in front drove for over twenty minutes and finally arrived at a sailboat-themed hotel by the seashore.
Zhong Ling’s heart trembled.
Why was Fourth Master bringing a woman to a hotel?
“Uncle Wang, go and check which floor they’ve gone to.”
Uncle Wang got out of the car and went into the hotel. While Zhong Ling was panicking, she looked at Ming Yao, “Sister Yao, Fourth Master couldn’t really be keeping a canary on the side, could he?”
Ming Yao gently curved her red lips, “Guessing back and forth is tiring; why don’t we go in and find out ourselves?”
It was Zhong Ling’s first time accompanying the wife to ‘catch a cheater,’ and it was Fourth Brother they were after; her heart was in a turmoil.
In a little while, Uncle Wang came back.
“Miss Ming, they went to the top floor. I’m not sure which room exactly; you need a room card to get up there.”
Ming Yao gently responded with a hum, then put on a mask and got out of the car.
Zhong Ling, uneasy, insisted on following Ming Yao with Uncle Wang.
If a fight was to break out, she and Uncle Wang could offer some assistance.
She hoped she wouldn’t have to witness such a scene!
Ming Yao approached the front desk and booked the top floor’s presidential suite.
The trio took the elevator to the very top floor.
There were only two suites on the top floor. Knowing Ming Yao had booked one, the other must be the one that scoundrel took the woman to!
“Sister Yao, we can’t just barge in there!”
Ming Yao removed her mask and pulled out a card resembling a bank card from her bag.
“Sister Yao, what is that?”
Without a word, Ming Yao swiped the card at the suite’s door a couple of times. After a slight sound from the door, it opened.
Zhong Ling’s eyes widened.
“Sister Yao, what kind of high-tech gadget is that?” With that card, couldn’t she open any door she wants?
Ming Yao turned back to Zhong Ling, “You and Uncle Wang wait here for me. I’ll go in and take a look.”
Zhong Ling couldn’t help but admire Ming Yao’s composure. In such a situation, she managed to remain unruffled, elegant, and calm.
If it were her, she probably would have lost it by now!
Ming Yao walked toward the suite without seeing any figures in the living room.
She glanced at the bedroom door, her eyebrows slightly knit. Could they be in the bedroom?
She didn’t believe that Gu Siting would betray her so soon.
On the way back from Pingshan Village, she had told him that she was the jealous type. If he dared to engage in any flirtations outside, even if she wouldn’t poison him, she would leave without hesitation.
As Ming Yao approached the bedroom, though she was certain that Gu Siting wouldn’t betray her, she couldn’t help feeling nervous.
She closed her eyes for a moment before daring to look into the bedroom.
The bedroom looked undisturbed, the bed’s linens were neat with not a wrinkle, as if no one had slept there.
After searching the entire suite and finding no trace of them, she was about to leave when she suddenly heard noises from the balcony outside the study.
“Fourth Brother, relax and listen to the sound of the waves outside. Imagine you’re lying on a soft, sandy beach, and next to you…”
The woman’s voice cut off abruptly at the sight of Ming Yao.
The man, who hadn’t fully entered the hypnotic state, also snapped awake at once.
Seeing the woman standing at the balcony door, he stood up abruptly from the lounge chair.
“Mrs. Gu?”
Ming Yao seemed to understand what was happening. Looking at the man, who revealed a trace of nervousness in his deep eyes, her lips curved slightly, “Sorry for disturbing you.”
Gu Siting strode toward Ming Yao, his long hand taking her slender one, “How did you come here?”
“After having dinner with my grandma, she asked me to bring some food over. Little did I know, as soon as I reached Gu Corporation’s entrance, I saw you leaving with a beautiful woman in your car, so I followed.”
“I thought I might catch something interesting!” she said, her eyes curving into a smile.
Seeing her smile brimming without a hint of jealousy, Gu Siting’s heart sank.
Compared to his concern and nervousness, she seemed far too distant and calm.
“You go ahead with the session. I’ll wait for you downstairs.” Ming Yao withdrew her hand from his grasp, smiled at the woman on the balcony, nodded, then turned and left.
Shi Yuan glanced at Gu Siting, who was still watching Ming Yao’s departing figure, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. “Fourth Brother, that’s your wife, isn’t it? She seems different from the rumors, very beautiful and rational. However, from her eyes, I hardly see the love for you!”
Shi Yuan’s smile deepened, “Fourth Brother, has your charm been lacking lately?”
