Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 316 - Chapter 316 Chapter 315 Falling in Love with Her Was His

Chapter 316: Chapter 315: Falling in Love with Her Was His Biggest Mistake Chapter 316: Chapter 315: Falling in Love with Her Was His Biggest Mistake Gu Siting’s mind was quite chaotic.

He hadn’t expected things to develop to this point.

If she really was pregnant, how could she bear to have an abortion?

That was a vibrant, new little life!

From the Imperial Garden to the hospital, it took nearly half an hour. Gu Siting’s nerves were tense the entire time.

His chest was filled with an unprecedented panic and nervousness.

He was even holding onto a sliver of hope that she hadn’t gone through with the surgery before he arrived at the hospital!

…

Ming Yao’s surgery went very smoothly.

After the anesthesia, she lost consciousness.

After the surgery, the doctor patted her face, and she slowly opened her thick, long lashes.

There was still a tear not quite dried at the corner of her eye, and her lips, usually pink, were devoid of any color.

Her usually vibrant and bright little face was now ashen, like a delicate flower damaged by frost, seemingly withered.

Ming Yao was wheeled into the ward.

Her eyes were empty and lifeless as she stared at the ceiling.

Her little hand rested on her flat belly.

The last link between her and Gu Siting had just been severed like that!

Xia Yiwan brought a thermos of hot water into the ward and seeing Ming Yao’s expression, she couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart.

“Yaoyao, you can have children again in the future.”

Ming Yao didn’t respond.

She had just had surgery, and her lower abdomen was still in some pain.

Her heart felt empty, and she lay there quietly, letting the IV drip slowly into her body.

The door to the ward was knocked, and Xiao Yichen came in carrying a thermos.

“Yaoyao, I had the servants make you chicken soup.”

Seeing Xiao Yichen, Xia Yiwan’s eyes blazed with anger, “President Xiao, don’t think that by breaking off the marriage with Ming Wan, you can win Yaoyao back. She’s out of your league now!”

Xiao Yichen ignored Xia Yiwan’s comment and walked to the bedside, saying to Ming Yao, “Your body is weak right now. You need to rest and eat more nutritious foods…”

A hint of impatience flashed through Ming Yao’s eyes.

She didn’t know what Xiao Yichen was thinking. Wasn’t her attitude clear enough?

She didn’t want to have anything to do with him at all!

She opened her mouth, about to ask him to leave, when the ward door was suddenly kicked open.

With a loud bang, everyone in the ward was startled.

A tall, formidable figure stood in the doorway.

The instant she saw Gu Siting, Ming Yao’s pupils contracted.

Xia Yiwan slapped her own forehead.

Damn it!

She hadn’t had the chance to tell Yaoyao that Yanxi had called Fourth Master, and he had already come.

Xia Yiwan felt somewhat at a loss, like a child who had made a mistake, “Yaoyao, it’s all my fault. It was that blabbermouth Yanxi who made the call!”

Looking at the man at the door of the ward, his gaze was sharp as a sword, cold and piercing, as if it could impale her.

Her heart inexplicably tightened.

Pressing her lips firmly together, she said to Xia Yiwan and Xiao Yichen, “Both of you, get out!”

Seeing Gu Siting’s grim and fierce expression, Xiao Yichen was worried he might hurt Ming Yao and said hesitantly, “Maybe I should stay…”

Ming Yao gave Xiao Yichen a cold glance, “Get out!”

Xiao Yichen left with a complex look on his face.

Once it was just Ming Yao and Gu Siting left in the ward, there was a deathly calm, a chilling stillness.

Ming Yao’s hands under the blanket were tightly clenched into fists.

She stared directly into the man’s icy, frost-like cold eyes, “What are you doing here?”

The man’s crimson lips were pressed into a straight line, and he did not speak. He stared at Ming Yao for a long time, then step by step, he walked towards her.

With his approach came an overwhelming and undeniable sense of oppression.

He stood only a few steps away from the bedside, his large hand clenched into a fist, the veins on the back of his hand throbbing visibly.

His handsome face carried an unprecedented coldness and darkness, his eyes bloodshot, looking ready to kill someone.

It was quite frightening.

Ming Yao met his bloodshot cold eyes without a hint of retreat.

After what seemed like an eternity, the man’s voice, cold as ice, broke the silence, “You were pregnant?”

His voice was hoarse and broken, with an uncontrollable slight tremor.

Ming Yao pursed her pale lips and, looking into the man’s deep, bloodshot eyes, nodded, “Yes, I was.”

Her cold, charmless little face showed no expression, so indifferent as to make onlooker’s heart tremble.

Gu Siting’s gaze was fixed on her as if he wanted to bore holes into her, “Did you abort it?”

It was as if it took all his strength to ask these three words.

Even though he had already learned of her miscarriage, he still wanted to hear it from her.

Ming Yao lowered her long lashes, forcing herself to calm down, “Didn’t you already know?”

“Why did you go through with the surgery without discussing it with me?”

Ming Yao looked at the man’s somber and icy cold eyes and her lips curled into a sneer, “Do you still have the nerve to question me? I want to ask you, why did you tamper with the condom?”

Gu Siting’s body stiffened abruptly.

So she knew!

He closed his bloodshot eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “You are so smart, you should be able to guess.”

“But don’t you think it’s very despicable and shameless? You agreed to let me make my own choice, but you did this behind my back!”

Ming Yao’s hands under the blanket pinched her own palms hard.

She reminded herself that she couldn’t tell him the truth.

She didn’t need his guilt. If they were going to break, it had to be a clean break!

As long as he could be well!

So, she would rather have him hate her!

Gu Siting, looking at such a cold and ruthless Ming Yao, felt his heart sink and tighten.

He did indeed have his own selfish motives, but for her to have aborted the baby without telling him was something he would never accept nor forgive!

It was a small life, the fruit of their union!

Was it so worthless that he didn’t even have the right to know before it vanished from his life?

Wasn’t her action too cruel?

“Ming Yao, when you are ruthless, you are truly ruthless!”

His expression was so dark it seemed water could drip from it, and only by reining in his surging emotions was he able to refrain from strangling her alive.

He took a deep breath and stepped back.

The look he gave her grew colder and colder, boundlessly cold.

In his eyes also swirled disappointment, heaviness, heartbreak.

Seeing his eyes like that, Ming Yao’s heart twisted.

Her little face was deathly pale.

“It’s okay if you don’t love me, it’s okay if someone else is in your heart, but you shouldn’t have just aborted my child like that!”

His face twisted into something ferocious and frightening, “Ming Yao, never has a moment made me feel such heartache, and perhaps, my affection and kindness towards you are the greatest mistakes of my life!”

Water mist formed over the man’s bloodshot eyes.

Ming Yao felt no less agony, her heart as if punctured fiercely with a sharp instrument, causing all her insides to ache as well.

A warm liquid surged from her lower abdomen, as if she were bleeding.
