Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 304 - Chapter 304 Chapter 303 Lets Get a Divorce

Chapter 304: Chapter 303: Let’s Get a Divorce! Chapter 304: Chapter 303: Let’s Get a Divorce! Ming Yao was slightly stunned.

The smile on her face slowly faded away.

The fingers she had placed under the table tightened slightly.

“Husband, let’s talk about this tomorrow, today I want to celebrate your birthday first–”

Gu Siting’s tall frame leaned back against the chair, his dark eyes stared at Ming Yao, his expression murky and unclear, “There’s no need to celebrate, I want to know your choice now.”

Even though there was still a week left until the two-month agreement expired.

He could not wait any longer.

If she was unwilling to stay by his side, even if there was another week, he could not keep her.

Especially since she had returned to the Tang Sect.

She had reunited with the people she had grown up with.

From her business trip to her return, a total of four days had passed.

The fact that there were no red veins in her eyes meant that the scent on his coat had faded, and she could sleep peacefully.

Her insomnia must have been cured!

His role as a sleep aid was no longer needed by her!

Ming Yao’s tightly twisted fingers turned white.

She did not want to discuss the issue of her leaving or staying today.

But seeing the man’s expression, she knew he would not let it go if she did not speak up!

Having been with him for half a year, she understood him to a certain extent.

He was domineering, forceful, obsessive, and also persistent.

Ming Yao took a deep breath, lifted her fan-like long lashes, and met his inscrutable dark eyes, “Gu Siting, let’s get a divorce!”

Gu Siting, let’s get a divorce!

These words exploded abruptly in the man’s ears.

For a moment, it seemed like he could hear nothing at all.

His ears buzzed, and his mind went blank.

All the blood in his body rushed to his head.

He lifted his hand, signaling the pianist and waiters to leave.

Once only the two of them were left in the restaurant, an eerie silence filled the air.

His sharply chiseled features tensed up, and the frost seemed to coat his deep and three-dimensional handsome face.

His black pupils stared at her coldly and dispassionately, as if they were drilling two holes through her, “Say it again?”

Ming Yao’s heart tightened.

After several deep breaths, she managed to fix her gaze back on him.

“I originally wanted to tell you after your birthday, but since you want to know, this is my answer to you!”

Gu Siting’s thin lips were pressed tightly into a straight line, and he did not speak immediately.

If it wasn’t for that bottle of medicine, he might still have a sliver of hope.

But that bottle of medicine had firmly slapped his face.

Her being with him had never been voluntary!

Even the passion in bed was maintained by drugs.

This made him, as a man, feel extremely angry and embarrassed!

Yet amidst these extreme emotions, he felt a trace of reluctance.

Did she really not have any feelings for him at all?

Were all their sweet interactions just a one-man show?

Gu Siting’s jawline tensed, a cold light reflecting in his eyes devoid of any warmth, and he spoke in a low, cold voice, “The reason!”

Even though he already knew the reason, he still wanted to hear her say it out loud!

Ming Yao clenched her fists tightly.

A sour and painful sensation flooded her eyes, and warm liquid seemed about to spill from their corners.

But she suppressed her emotions fiercely, making sure that not a hint of them showed on her cold and striking face.

“I returned to the Tang Sect and learned the true reason behind the marriage between Senior Brother and junior sister. Senior Brother married her only to develop a cure for my insomnia!”

Gu Siting let out a cold chuckle from his throat, “So, you want to be the mistress between them?”

Ming Yao shook her head, “In half a year, they will divorce.”

Rage welled up in Gu Siting’s eyes, as his great palm clenched into a fist, knuckles cracking, veins on the back of his hand bulging.

The next second, it seemed as though he might throw his fist at her.

Ming Yao met his gaze, without the slightest attempt to dodge.

It was as if she would silently endure it even if he did punch her.

But he didn’t lay a hand on her.

Their gazes held each other’s like that.

The atmosphere in the dining room was oppressively taut.

Ming Yao struggled valiantly to contain the tumultuous emotions inside her, closing her eyes momentarily, her voice rose a little hoarse as she said, “You said before that if I made a choice, you wouldn’t cling on desperately.”

Hearing her words, the man, furious to the extreme, actually laughed.

Seeing such a smile from him, Ming Yao felt an indescribable bitterness inside.

Through their time together, how could she not have felt the love he had for her?

He had lived in such a loveless environment since childhood, enduring one heavy blow after another.

Already desperately starved for love, he had nonetheless given all the love in his heart to her.

She knew that by saying these words, she was effectively taking a sharp dagger and plunging it mercilessly into his chest!

She cast her eyes down and, in the privacy of her heart, apologized to him countless times.

Perhaps, they were really not fated to be together!

Once he recovered his health, he would find a woman better than her!

The blood in Gu Siting’s body boiled violently, his emotions in his chest reaching a peak.

He knew his obsessive-compulsive disorder was about to flare up.

He slammed his large palm onto the table with such force that the solid wood table cracked, and his hand was cut, blood seeping out.

Seeing this, Ming Yao wanted to say something, but the cold, sinister look on his face halted her movements as she was about to stand up.

“Gu Siting, don’t hurt yourself!”

The man let out a cold laugh from his throat, “Do you still care about me? Or do you want to continue this act?”

No wonder Jih Feng said she was a good actress. In the movie “Peerless,” she was rarely asked for a retake by Jih Feng, who even said that when the movie was released, she would definitely become a sensation, and she might even be nominated for Best Actress.

Indeed, her acting was quite good. Even now, the concern in her eyes could still give him the false impression that she cared about him!

Amidst the surge of layered emotions, Gu Siting heard the sounds of collapse and rage within his heart.

But what could he do?

He had said before, if she made her choice, he would not persist in messy entanglements, he would let her be free!

“So, have you ever been touched? Even just for a moment.”

Ming Yao almost blurted out to tell him that she had been touched, and it wasn’t just for a moment but for a while.

But the words reached her mouth, and she swallowed them back down again.

Since they couldn’t be together anymore, why should she leave him with any illusions?

“No.” She looked quite calm, but her hands clenched under the table, fingertips digging into her palms, had even drawn blood.

Gu Siting closed his eyes for a moment, feeling as though the world was spinning.

In his mind, a myriad of scenes flickered past like a carousel.

There was her lying on his back, eating cotton candy with a sweet smile.

There was her pulling him to stand in front of a telescope to look at the stars.

There was her, like a little vixen, sitting on his lap and kissing him with arms around his neck.

But in the end, the final image froze on the scene where she had just uttered those two words ‘No’.
