Chapter 232 -231: Threads of Sweetness, Spreading into the Depths of Her Heart

In the dead of winter, Old Madam Gu’s room suddenly filled with a great number of snakes; it was very strange.

Gu Siting ordered a thorough investigation.

“Ah Ting, were you bitten?” Old Madam Gu saw a wound on the back of Gu Siting’s hand, her face full of concern.

Ming Yao also saw Gu Siting’s injury. When Old Madam Gu went out to call the doctor, she pulled him aside.

Ming Yao took out Silver Needle from her bag and quickly sealed an acupuncture point on Gu Siting’s left wrist.

Then, she took out a sharp dagger, looked up at the man, “Bear with it for a moment.”

She lowered her eyes, made two neat incisions on the back of his hand, and then used professional techniques to squeeze out the poisoned blood.

Next, she took out a bottle of powdered medicine from her bag, sprinkled it on the wound, and finally wrapped his injury with a gauze bandage.

“Don’t worry, it won’t be a big problem, but you should watch your diet recently, and don’t get this hand wet!”

Gu Siting didn’t speak; his dark eyes fixed intently on the woman before him.

They say that a man is most attractive when he is serious.

At this moment, he thought his wife, Ming Yao, possessed limitless charm.

After Ming Yao finished speaking and saw that the man remained silent, merely gazing at her with deep eyes, she raised her eyebrows, “What’s the matter, is there something on my face?”

With that, she reached toward her own face.

But in the next second, the man grabbed her hand and pressed it to his chest.

“I’m seduced by Mrs. Gu when she’s at work.”

Inside the man’s chest, his heart was beating strongly and powerfully.

Its rhythm was much faster than usual.

Ming Yao’s eyes curved into a slight smile as she gently poked the man’s chest with her fingertip, “The moment you came to protect me earlier, I was also attracted to you. Thank you, husband.”

Gu Siting narrowed his unfathomable dark eyes, and his thin lips drew closer to her, his voice husky as he asked, “Verbal thanks aren’t enough.”

Ming Yao glared at him slightly, “Then how do you want to be thanked?”

Gu Siting lifted his chin slightly, “Kiss your husband.”

Without being coy, Ming Yao tiptoed and kissed the corner of his lips.

The man was about to grasp the back of her head to deepen the kiss when suddenly a coughing sound interrupted their intimacy.

Old Madam Gu came over with the accompanying doctor.

Ming Yao hastily pushed Gu Siting away, standing to one side somewhat awkwardly.

She had been warned by Old Madam Gu before, and now, she had been caught in the act again.

“Ah Ting, let the doctor check your hand quickly.”

“It’s fine, Ming Xiaoyao has already treated it for me.”

Old Madam Gu was somewhat surprised, “She knows how to treat snake bites?”

Gu Siting hummed lowly in affirmation.

Old Madam Gu was still not at ease, but after the accompanying doctor said that Ming Yao had handled it well, she felt reassured.

Finding a dead white crane during tomb sweeping and encountering snakes in the resting room, Old Madam Gu felt quite troubled.

Before descending the mountain, she pulled the chanting monk aside.

“Master, my heart is very uneasy; I feel like something bad will happen. Please divinate for me.”

The monk, a well-known master from Huafa Temple, rotated his Buddha Beads and after a moment said, “Old Madam, there is a hidden danger near you, if you keep her by your side, both you and Fourth Young Master will encounter unending troubles.”

Old Madam Gu’s pupils contracted, “Can the Master be more explicit?”

After chanting Amitabha Buddha, the monk replied, “It is something to be realized intuitively, not spoken aloud.”

Old Madam Gu frowned thoughtfully.

…

After having a vegetarian meal that evening, the group returned to the Fang Family old residence.

Ming Yao felt somewhat uneasy.

She had the feeling that today’s events were somewhat odd.

First the dead white crane, and then the countless snakes…

Gu Siting had already sent people to investigate, but the Tomb Guardian said he hadn’t seen anyone else come up the mountain.

Those snakes couldn’t have appeared under Old Madam Gu’s bed for no reason, and even if they were hibernating, they wouldn’t all go to Old Madam Gu’s room, would they?

Someone must have done it on purpose.

Since no outsiders had been up the mountain, then was it someone from within the Fang Family who had secretly released the snakes?

What was their purpose?

Ming Yao lay on the windowsill, feeling somewhat troubled.

She had only been in the capital for a day or two, and so many unpleasant things had happened!

Today, even Old Madam Gu had been somewhat abnormal, her attitude towards her had changed from before.

On the way back, she hadn’t even exchanged a single word with her.

But, as much as there were matters that worried her, there were also things that moved her.

The image of the man throwing himself behind her, using his tall figure to shield her from the snakes, sparked a warm surge in her chest.

At the corner of her lips, an involuntary smile formed.

When Gu Siting walked in, that was exactly the scene he saw—Ming Yao lying on the windowsill, her smile blooming like a flower.

He went behind her and wrapped his long arms around her, “Mrs. Gu, what are you thinking about to be so happy, hmm?”

Ming Yao turned around, wrapping her arms around the man’s neck, and the man promptly lifted her onto the windowsill to sit.

“Have you found the person who released the snakes?”

Gu Siting shook his head, “I’ve handed it over to Zhuoran to investigate. After all, this is the Fang Family’s place, and there are many things inconvenient for me to inquire into.”

Ming Yao nodded thoughtfully, and she pulled up Gu Siting’s hand wrapped in a bandage, “Does it feel uncomfortable or anything?”

“No, don’t worry.”

Ming Yao noticed that the man was hiding something in his right hand, and she asked curiously, “What are you holding?”

“A little trinket I designed myself.”

Ming Yao’s curiosity heightened, “Let me see what it is?”

Gu Siting brought out the hand that was behind his back.

A rose gold delicate chain, with several small and exquisite bells embedded on it.

Ming Yao’s eyes lit up, “What a beautiful anklet.”

Only, the bells’ design looked somewhat familiar.

“Are the bells shaped like a little cat?” She remembered, he had sent her an animated emoticon of a cat and even said she was like that cat.

She hadn’t expected that he would actually use the design of that cat to create an anklet.

Any woman would like such delicate and exquisite trinkets.

Not to mention it was designed by him personally.

Unique in the world.

“I’ll put it on for you to see, huh.”

Ming Yao was about to jump off the windowsill when the man held her down.

“I’ll put it on for you.”

The man knelt down his tall frame and took off her slipper.

Long and fair fingers grasped her slender ankle.

His fingertips were slightly calloused and cool, and the moment they touched her skin, an unusual sensation surged in her heart.

They had already been the most intimate with each other, and by all accounts, she shouldn’t be shy, but as he held her ankle and put on the little cat bell anklet, her cheeks blushed.

Her beautiful eyes looked on at the man before her, his eyebrows sternly set, his nose protruding proudly like a mountain, his thin lips a sensual crimson, his features as if chiseled by a sculptor, handsome and perfect.

Usually, he was unapproachable and high above others outside, but at this moment, he knelt on one knee, putting on an ankle chain he had designed for her.

Threads of sweetness permeated from Ming Yao’s chest into her limbs and bones.

Suddenly, she very much wanted to… be with him without taking the medicine.

Thinking this way, the delicate white foot wearing the kitty bell anklet gently tapped on the shoulder of the man.
