Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 305 - Chapter 305 Chapter 304 He Said He Wont Persist Anymore

Chapter 305: Chapter 304: He Said He Won’t Persist Anymore Chapter 305: Chapter 304: He Said He Won’t Persist Anymore From the very beginning, her approaching him had a purpose.

Had he not been her sleep aid, she would have asked for a divorce long ago!

The game was started by her, and it was also for her to call the end!

Very well!

Really very well!

Never had a woman played him like this, at the clap of her hands.

He, in the web of lies she spun, thought she was sincere, thought she liked being intimate with him.

It turns out, everything was fake!

Gu Siting’s lips were tightly pressed without speaking, his dark and deep eyes almost saw right through the woman sitting across from him.

The fierce wind was blowing outside, even though the temperature inside was warm and comfortable.

But inexplicably, it felt cold.

The chilling cold emanating from the man was like mountain snow, piercing to the bone.

After a long pause, the man finally spoke slowly, his thin lips curving into a cold, mocking smile, “So, your insomnia is cured now, is it?”

Ming Yao saw the blood-red in his eyes, the dark aura, she knew his emotions had reached their peak.

She couldn’t provoke him further!

But…

She couldn’t soften her heart at all.

She closed her eyes and uttered one word, “Yes!”

The tense string in Gu Siting’s heart suddenly snapped.

He felt like he had fallen into an abyss with darkness all around, no longer able to see the light.

The distinct angles of his face became sharp and cold, devoid of any warmth.

There were still many things he wanted to ask her, but what was the point?

Asking further would only make him feel more embarrassed.

“Very well,” he stood up suddenly from his chair.

The movement of getting up was so abrupt that the chair legs scraped sharply against the floor, his tall frame wobbling unsteadily before quickly stabilizing.

The look he gave Ming Yao was colder than before, and there was an unprecedented distance and strangeness, “You’re right, I won’t pester you. I’ll have the lawyers draft the divorce agreement as soon as possible and give it to you after signing!”

Ming Yao felt her heart tighten at the sight of the man’s eyes.

She had thought that after asking for a divorce, his attitude towards her would change.

These past few days, she had been psychologically gearing up, trying not to feel too bad.

But now that the moment was here, she still felt fear, panic, and loss.

She dared not look into his eyes any longer and said with a hoarse voice, “Okay.”

The man beckoned the waiter over, paid the bill, and left the western restaurant in large strides.

Ming Yao sat blankly in her chair.

Her hands and feet, icy cold.

The restaurant manager saw Ming Yao’s pale face and her trembling expression as if she was about to cry and was somewhat puzzled.

Had this couple not come for romance but for a fight?

When Fourth Master left, his expression was uglier than the stormy sky outside.

“Mrs. Gu, is there anything I can help with?”

Ming Yao waved her hand, “It’s okay, I’ll leave after sitting for a while.”

The restaurant manager left Ming Yao to her space.

With no one else around, Ming Yao’s composure instantly collapsed.

She covered her small face with both hands, at first only a tear or two fell through her fingers.

Gradually, like pearls off a string, more and more spilled out!

Despite the comfortable temperature in the restaurant, at that moment, she still felt bone-chillingly cold.

From her scalp to her toes, everything felt numb.

After an unknown amount of time, the ringtone of her cellphone sounded.

Ming Yao mechanically took out her phone.

Seeing Xia Yiwan’s incoming call, Ming Yao wiped her tears, took a deep breath, and pressed the answer button.

“Yaoyao, Zhong Ling and I are already waiting at the KTV. When are you and your husband coming over?”

Ming Yao’s lips trembled, and after a long while, she finally spoke, “I won’t be coming. You and Xiao Ling should head back and rest early!”

Xia Yiwan vaguely sensed something off in Ming Yao’s voice and asked with concern, “Yaoyao, you and Fourth Master haven’t had a disagreement, have you?”

“No, I might be coming down with a cold.”

“All right then, we won’t disturb your private time with Fourth Master anymore!”

After hanging up, Ming Yao took her purse and rose from her chair.

As she stepped out of the restaurant, a gust of wind blew her way, and she shivered violently from the cold.

Despite the bad weather, the roads were still bustling with traffic and many pedestrians crossing the streets.

Ming Yao glanced down at her outfit, which stood out against the passersby wrapped tightly in their coats.

A twinge of pain gripped her heart.

Her eyes filled with a thin layer of mist, blurring her vision.

Her nose felt sour, and her throat was as if something was choking it, painful and hoarse.

After what felt like an eternity, she finally hailed a taxi.

“Imperial Garden.”

Now that she was getting a divorce, she couldn’t possibly continue to live at Imperial Garden.

Sitting in the taxi, Ming Yao blankly stared out of the window.

Recalling the foreign and icy look in Gu Siting’s eyes as he left, her heart contracted as if it was suffocating.

The car stopped at Imperial Garden.

Hearing the sound of the car, Aunt Zhong came out with an umbrella.

Seeing Ming Yao getting out of the taxi, she hurried over with the umbrella.

“Mrs. Gu, you’re back?”

After getting off the plane, Ming Yao had gone straight to Autumn Water Studio, even leaving her luggage there.

Ming Yao nodded and followed Aunt Zhong into the villa.

Worried that Aunt Zhong might notice something was off, Ming Yao slightly lowered her head, “Aunt Zhong, I’m going upstairs first.”

Before Aunt Zhong could say anything, Ming Yao had already reached the upstairs.

Little Snowball followed Ming Yao up the stairs.

Ming Yao crouched down and scooped Little Snowball into her arms.

She stroked its fluffy fur and rested her forehead on its head, “From now on, you have to behave and keep good company to your Papa at Imperial Garden.”

It seemed as if Little Snowball sensed its mistress’s sadness and let out a soft meow.

“I can’t take you with me this time. He’s very lonely, and you’re an important presence to him. You have to take my place and accompany him well!”

Little Snowball seemed to understand Ming Yao’s words, its gemstone-blue eyes reflecting a trace of sorrow.

Ming Yao put Little Snowball down and began to pack her belongings.

She had left Imperial Garden before, but he had always found her and brought her back.

This time, he wouldn’t come looking for her again.

And she would not return!

Ming Yao didn’t have many possessions of her own; many were gifts from Gu Siting.

She didn’t take them with her.

Approaching the vanity, she opened a drawer and took out a jewelry box.

It contained the set of valuable pink diamonds Gu Siting had given her, as well as a necklace and earrings.

Ming Yao picked up the pink diamond ring, her fingertips gently tracing its pattern.

After a long time, she placed the pink diamond back into the box. She didn’t return it to the drawer but left it on the vanity instead.

She left a note when she departed.

[I don’t want a penny from the divorce assets.]

She went downstairs with her suitcase in tow.

Aunt Zhong saw Ming Yao descending with a suitcase in hand, confusion flickering in her eyes.

“Mrs. Gu, you’ve just returned from a business trip; where are you off to now?”

Today was Fourth Master’s birthday; could it be that the two were going on a vacation?
