Chapter 561: Chapter 559: He Speaks His Heart

Although Xiao Yiyi is not by her side right now, she could imagine that when he hung up the phone, his face must have looked quite sulky.

So cool at such a young age.

How is he going to find a wife when he grows up?

However, she would respect Xiao Yiyi’s opinion. If he didn’t want to acknowledge his daddy for the time being, she wouldn’t deliberately mention it.

On Gu Siting’s side.

He put Little Orange on his shoulders, took out his phone, and together they took a selfie.

Looking at the photo her daddy took from a typical male angle, Little Orange couldn’t help but frown her little eyebrows.

“Daddy, the photo you took isn’t as pretty as the ones mommy takes!”

The camera was too close, and it didn’t even capture her crystal headband on top of her head.

Just as Gu Siting was about to say something, Little Orange suddenly called out in a whiny voice, “Mommy, mommy, can you come over and help take a photo of me and daddy?”

Gu Siting looked towards the balcony door.

Ming Yao, who was cued, seemed to hesitate for a moment but didn’t refuse and quickly walked over.

She took Gu Siting’s phone, squatted a short distance away, and took a few photos for the father and daughter.

Gu Siting looked at Ming Yao with his deep, dark eyes, “Thanks.”

Ming Yao pursed her red lips, not saying anything.

Seeing her cold and distant attitude, Gu Siting felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest.

Now, was the sassy side of her small feminine charm only shown in Si Ye’s presence?

He suddenly missed the days when she used him as a sleep aid tool so much.

Back then, she had displayed the flirtatious side of her to the fullest.

Looking at her lips, as gorgeous as a rose, Gu Siting was momentarily lost in a daze.

Ming Yao, seeing him staring blatantly at her lips, felt her scalp tingle.

She quickly handed back the phone with the photos to him.

Gu Siting checked the photos Ming Yao had taken, indeed, they were much prettier than the ones he took.

Gu Siting immediately shared them to his brothers’ group chat.

After sending them, he turned off the phone.

His large hand took hold of Little Orange, his dark eyes turned to Ming Yao, “Shall we have dinner together?”

Ming Yao shook her head, “No need,” she looked at Little Orange, “Grandma is sick. Will you stay with Mommy for a while?”

“Alrighty.”

“Ming Yao, I want to have a private chat with you,” Gu Siting spoke in a husky voice.

Ming Yao nodded, “Okay.”

“I’ll take Little Orange to my mother’s hospital room first.”

Ming Yao didn’t follow to the ward, she stood on the terrace waiting for Gu Siting.

It wasn’t long before Gu Siting came over.

He walked behind Ming Yao and looked at her slender and tall figure, his sword-like eyebrows knitting slightly, “If I hadn’t discovered Little Orange’s identity, would you have kept it a secret forever?”

Hearing the man’s words, Ming Yao turned around to face him.

Ming Yao was wearing a camel cashmere light coat that day, with a belt tied around her waist that outlined her willowy figure, and her slightly curled long hair was tied into a ponytail, revealing her delicate and fair neck. Her black hair, fair skin, and bright red lips made her stunningly beautiful face even more alluring.

Ming Yao took a few steps back, resting her slender back against the railing, her lips curving into a cold and indolent arc, “Otherwise, what? Waiting for you to fight me for custody?”

Gu Siting’s dark eyes deepened, his voice growing lower, “Ming Yao, Little Orange is my daughter. Her life has already missed over three years of my presence. I didn’t witness her birth, her first attempts at speech, her first steps. I’ve missed too much!”

Ming Yao’s eyebrows slightly twisted, “Mr. President, four years ago, it was you who told me to start a new life and to stop entangling with you thereafter. It was you who married another woman!”

“Yes, you did it for me. I can understand how you felt at that time, because I once made the same choice. But the days after we parted were unbearable. If I hadn’t been pregnant, I don’t know if I could have made it through?”

“You married Dai Na, and when I saw your wedding, my heart was bleeding. You tell me now that you never shared a bed with her, but during those four years, I didn’t know that. Every time I thought of another woman sharing your bed, my heart would also suffer terribly!”

Ming Yao lifted her hand to touch her face, “Once upon a time, my face would often be smiling, but I can’t remember how long it has been since I last smiled after you married another woman.”

“I barely managed to crawl out of that torment, and now you come to disturb it again! Gu Siting, we have been through two separations. I’m afraid it will happen again, and I dare not try anymore!”

“Maybe you will say things are different this time, but in the Presidential Residence, aside from you, can your father, your grandmother, the elders of the Gong Family Clan accept me?”

“Or have you become so powerful that you can dictate everything, regardless of public opinion?”

Gu Siting was silenced for a long time by Ming Yao’s words.

Every word she said was like a sharp needle piercing deep into his heart, causing him unbearable pain.

“I once had an ectopic pregnancy for you and lost a child; I had one of my fallopian tubes removed. Getting pregnant again wasn’t easy. Even though I’m a doctor myself, I was still scared every day during the pregnancy, afraid I wouldn’t be able to hold on to it.”

“During the late stages of pregnancy, when I saw blood, I could only lie in bed to preserve the pregnancy. At that time, I saw you and Dai Na on TV visiting another country together. She was holding your arm, and you gave her a slight smile. Did you know I lay in bed, my tears soaking the pillow?”

“Can a simple claim that everything you did was for me, planning for us, negate all that has happened in the past four years?”

Ming Yao’s eyes involuntarily reddened, her slender body trembling slightly, “We have each saved the other once, I’ve also made sacrifices for you. Just pity me, and don’t disturb my life anymore!”

“Perhaps my feelings for Si Ye won’t be the same as they were for you in the past, but he makes me feel safe and stable. I don’t have to be on tenterhooks, and I don’t feel unworthy of him!”

Hearing Ming Yao’s words, Gu Siting’s thin lips nearly pressed into a straight line.

His heart clenched.

He knew he had no right to blame her for anything.

She had given birth to their child alone and raised her by herself, and only she knew the bitterness of that experience.

He felt for Little Orange, who lacked a father’s love, but he felt even more for her.

Looking at her trembling figure, he lifted his broad hand, wanting several times to pull her into his embrace, but still slowly dropping his arms down.

Her willingness to share her feelings from the past four years was already a significant breakthrough in their stiff relationship.

He was sure that she still had feelings for him in her heart.

It was just that those four years had left many scars and grievances deep in her heart, and he needed to take real actions to make her let down her guard, heal the scars, and trust him again!

“Yaoyao, rest assured, I will not fight you for Little Orange’s custody again.”
