Chapter 290: Chapter 289: Only You Can Hurt Me!

“Do you know, Sister-in-Law, that seven years ago, Fourth Brother was shot in the chest while rescuing Sister Shi Ying, who had been kidnapped by bandits?”

Ming Yao’s dense lashes trembled lightly.

When she misunderstood that Siting’s ‘White Moonlight’ was Shi Ying, Siting had taken the trouble to explain it to her.

Gu Yanyu watched Ming Yao’s expression and his smile deepened, “It seems Fourth Brother is truly in love with you. He even told you about this matter, which he holds close to his heart!”

Ming Yao didn’t want to get into a protracted discussion with Gu Yanyu. Her radiant face sank slightly, “If you have something to say, just say it.”

Gu Yanyu raised his eyebrows, not minding Ming Yao’s impatience at all, his handsome face still hooked with a devilish smile, “Fourth Brother was seriously injured that time. I happened to be abroad too. When I heard he was critically injured, I rushed to the hospital.”

“Fourth Brother was in the operating room for nearly twelve hours. The doctors once declared the rescue ineffective, but then a famous doctor happened to come to that hospital for an academic exchange, and he took over from the chief physician and entered the OR.”

“Fourth Brother was indeed saved, but…”

Gu Yanyu shrugged his shoulders, “That bullet grazed Fourth Brother’s heart. You should know how much damage it did to his body since you understand medicine.”

“Although the famous doctor successfully removed the bullet, saving Fourth Brother from immediate danger to his life, the bullet was coated with a potent poison, which entered his body as the bullet penetrated his chest.”

“The famous doctor told me that the poison is colorless and tasteless. Once it merges with the blood, it will slowly destroy a person’s body. Of course, the person who applied the poison to the bullet didn’t want Fourth Brother’s life immediately, but rather wanted to torment him slowly.”

“That poison gives a person only a ten-year lifespan. The famous doctor said, even The Immortal couldn’t save him; that’s why I never told Fourth Brother about the poison in the bullet!”

“The poison has been in Fourth Brother’s body for seven years now. The famous doctor said that for the first seven years, he would be no different from a normal person, and blood tests wouldn’t show any problems. But in the next three years, Fourth Brother will slowly experience what it’s like to live a life worse than death!”

“So now, I don’t have to do anything. When Fourth Brother turns twenty-seven, he’ll suffer from the toxicity.”

“Isn’t there only a short while left until he turns twenty-seven? Look at how well he has developed Gu Corporation. I won’t even have to make much effort to receive everything he has worked for. Don’t you think I’m quite lucky?”

Upon hearing Gu Yanyu’s words, Ming Yao’s pupils contracted sharply.

She didn’t think that Gu Yanyu was lying to her.

Because she once overheard her master mention this kind of poison.

This poison is rare in the world, developed by her grandmaster.

But it was later banned.

Because those who were poisoned would die a terrible death.

That kind of death where one longs for death but can’t die, tormented until they’re neither human nor ghost!

No, that poison was to have been destroyed a long time ago. How could Siting have been poisoned?

Gu Yanyu, looking at Ming Yao’s slightly pale face, raised his hand toward her stunningly beautiful face.

But before he could touch Ming Yao’s face, a long hand reached out to him.

Siting had arrived.

He forcefully grabbed Gu Yanyu’s wrist and with a frosty expression, pushed him away.

“Dare to touch a single hair on my wife and see what happens?”

Gu Yanyu rubbed his wrist, his smile devilish as he looked at Siting, “Fourth Brother, I’m just whispering a few words with Sister-in-Law, are you jealous?”

Siting’s jaw was tightly clenched, his eyes fierce and sharp, and from his throat, he uttered one icy word, “Scram!”

Gu Yanyu shrugged his shoulders, hands pocketed, and turned to enter the villa.

Siting glanced at Ming Yao, whose face had turned pale. His brows were tightly knit, “What did he say to you?”

She was always calm and intelligent, even in the face of great events, she wouldn’t change her expression like this.

“What’s wrong, what did he say?”

Ming Yao looked at Siting, her pale face reflected in his dark, narrow eyes.

She knew she had frightened him with her current appearance.

Ming Yao shook her head, “Your brother shamelessly sought me out to talk. Seeing you come out, I was afraid you’d be unhappy.”

Gu Siting, “…” Was he really that terrifying?

However, remembering that his possessiveness was indeed strong and he couldn’t bear her speaking to other men, a twinge of guilt rose in his heart.

“From now on, I’ll try to control my emotions.”

On the way back to the Imperial Garden, Ming Yao occasionally looked at Gu Siting.

The light from street lamps outside the car window shone into the compartment, creating a flickering effect; the man’s sharply defined features looked handsome and profound under the changing light.

She dared not imagine what his face would look like if he really were poisoned and after the toxin slowly started to take effect.

According to her master, not only the internal organs but even the face would slowly deteriorate.

She couldn’t bear the thought of that scene occurring!

While waiting for the traffic light, Gu Siting saw Ming Yao staring intently at him. He took her delicate, white hand, “What are you looking at?”

Ming Yao held the man’s large hand in return, subconsciously wanting to take his pulse.

Since her rebirth, she had taken the pulse of many people, but she had never taken his.

Because he didn’t look like someone who was sick.

Tall, upright, strong, and sturdy.

Not wanting to arouse his suspicion, Ming Yao held his hand back, “You’re so outstanding, why does Song Yuzhi only like Gu Yanyu? Could it be that you’re not her biological child?”

Gu Siting’s thin lips tightened slightly, “I also had my doubts before, but after growing up, I did a paternity test with her, and we are indeed mother and son.”

He had completely lost hope in her, so whatever Song Yuzhi did, he didn’t care anymore.

Ming Yao held onto Gu Siting’s hand tightly, “With me here, nothing will happen to you.”

Looking into Ming Yao’s eyes, where affection showed, Gu Siting lifted her hand and kissed the back of it, “No one can hurt me, except for you.”

Ming Yao’s heart clenched.

“Our agreement is almost up. I’ll be waiting for your answer at the western restaurant that day.”

When they returned to the Imperial Garden, Ming Yao lit some incense in the room.

Gu Siting, smelling the fragrance of the incense, raised an eyebrow, “This scent is nice.”

“As long as you like it.” The incense had a calming and sleep-inducing effect.

After talking in bed for a while, the man fell asleep.

The calming and sleep-inducing incense had no effect on Ming Yao, and though Gu Siting was by her side, she couldn’t sleep with her mind preoccupied.

She turned on the wall light and looked at the man sleeping soundly, her fingertips gliding over his sharply defined, handsome face.

Eventually, her fingertips settled on his wrist.

Pulse is the first to reveal the ebbs and flows of qi and blood, and whether organs are imbalanced.

When both qi and blood are deficient, the pulses of yin and yang are both weak.

As for Gu Siting’s pulse, it was chaotic and weak.

The pulse was too complicated; she couldn’t determine if he was poisoned.

Only by drawing blood and having Jing Hang take it back to Tang Sect for analysis with precise, advanced instruments could they know for sure.

Ming Yao took a needle from the drawer, drew a tube of blood, and then called Jing Hang.
