Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 358 - Chapter 358 Chapter 357 He began a new romance

Chapter 358: Chapter 357: He began a new romance Chapter 358: Chapter 357: He began a new romance Nangong Xuan had arrived.

She had dressed exceptionally ladylike today–a Gucci suit ensemble, hair draped over her shoulders, and her face adorned with delicate makeup.

She approached Gu Siting with timid steps, a hint of shyness in her demeanor, “Fourth Master, you wouldn’t blame me for my impudence, would you?”

Nangong Xuan had intended to maintain a demure presence, expecting Gu Siting to take the initiative to seek her out.

Yet, after waiting for two days following the yacht party, he hadn’t reached out to her.

She wanted to see him so badly that she couldn’t help herself and came to Gu Corporation.

She had heard that the management at Gu Corporation was very strict and without a prior appointment, it was impossible to meet their CEO.

But as soon as she gave her name at the front desk, the receptionist didn’t say anything, just pressed the elevator button and let her go upstairs.

It must have been Gu Siting’s prior instruction, she thought, that if she ever came over, she shouldn’t be stopped.

He was so considerate towards her!

“Fourth Master, are you free tonight? There’s a new Western restaurant that opened in the east of the city, and I wonder if I might have the opportunity to share dinner with you?”

Gu Siting toyed with the pen in his hand, glanced at the hopeful look in Nangong Xuan’s eyes, and then nodded his head, “Sure.”

…

On the day of the “Peerless” publicity event, Ming Yao donned an Ahn Hepburn style mini skirt, her long hair coiled into a Princess hairstyle, with flaming red lips–her look a sexy yet pure allure.

Zhong Ling accompanied Ming Yao to the cinema for the event.

Xie Tianyu also made an appearance, and although his role in “Peerless” was not substantial, it was still quite significant.

Ming Yao was somewhat surprised to see him this time.

Xie Tianyu looked a bit unwell, as if he were suffering from over-exhaustion.

This time, when he saw Ming Yao, Xie Tianyu wasn’t as talkative as usual.

The boy seemed almost introverted.

After the first half of the promotion was over, there was a twenty-minute rest period.

Ming Yao returned to the resting room.

Upon entering, she saw Zhong Ling pouting, clearly agitated.

“What’s wrong? You’re about to turn into a little pufferfish!”

Seeing Ming Yao come in, Zhong Ling hurriedly tucked her phone into her bag, “It’s nothing, really.”

Ming Yao sat in front of the dressing table, took a swig of water from the bottle, “With you puffing up like that, it clearly isn’t nothing. Spit it out!”

Considering Ming Yao was bound to see the trending topics later anyway, Zhong Ling, filled with righteous indignation, said, “It’s all because of Fourth Brother, he and Nangong Xuan are trending!”

Ming Yao paused briefly, placed the water bottle on the table, her long eyelashes drooping to hide the emotion in her eyes, “They’re both single, so it’s normal if something’s going on between them, isn’t it?”

If Zhong Ling had not witnessed how Fourth Master doted on Sister Yao, she could have convinced herself to accept that Fourth Master had paired up with another woman.

But she had seen the sweet, affectionate moments between Fourth Master and Sister Yao, which were even more romantic than what you’d see in idol dramas.

She was already a fan.

Now the male lead had switched to another love interest, and how could she possibly accept that?

It was more heart-wrenching than going through a personal heartbreak!

Ming Yao took out her phone from her bag. She had originally not wanted to check the trends, but, as if possessed, she ended up looking anyway.

Although Gu Siting and Nangong Xuan were not celebrities, one being a business tycoon and the other an heiress of the Nangong Family, their pairing was naturally no less sensational than that of celebrities.

The trend had already skyrocketed to the top ten.

[Aristocratic golden boy and lady in confirmed romance.]

There were eight-second clips, GIFs, and photos.

Clearly taken in secret, the footage wasn’t very high-definition, but it still gave a good idea of the situation.

Gu Siting and Nangong Xuan went on a date at a romantic high-end Western restaurant, where Gu Siting attentively cut the steak for Nangong Xuan. The two chatted and laughed together, looking very sweet.

Seeing such a scene, Ming Yao couldn’t describe the feeling in her heart.

She knew he had started a new life, which had nothing to do with her.

Yet, in her heart, a sour and astringent emotion still surged.

Ming Yao exited Weibo and pressed her aching temples with her fingertips, trying hard to calm her emotions.

The second half of the promotional event was about to begin.

Ming Yao had adjusted her mood, and during the entire process, no one noticed anything unusual about her.

Clearly, Jih Feng had seen the trending searches as well. He glanced at Ming Yao several times, fearing her state might be off, but he worried needlessly. Ming Yao’s performance was so flawless that it was beyond reproach.

There was even a moment when he felt sorry for Fourth Brother.

In his marriage to Ming Yao, Fourth Brother had truly put his heart into it.

But the result–

The lady herself didn’t take him seriously at all!

After the promotion ended, Ming Yao and a few actors returned backstage.

Halfway there, Xie Tianyu suddenly started coughing violently and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Ming Yao, being the closest to Xie Tianyu, quickly caught hold of him.

After going dark for a few seconds, Xie Tianyu gradually regained his senses.

He shook his head at Ming Yao, “Sister Yao, I’m alright.”

Jih Feng was also scared. He and Ming Yao together helped Xie Tianyu into the rest room.

“Director Jih, please help get a cup of warm water for us.”

After Jih Feng left, Ming Yao took Xie Tianyu’s pulse.

Xie Tianyu was young and didn’t have any major health problems, but he had worked himself sick, and there was a clot in his chest.

Ming Yao took out her acupuncture kit and performed acupuncture on Xie Tianyu.

Xie Tianyu coughed up another mouthful of fresh blood, and his spirits improved a lot.

Xie Tianyu looked at Ming Yao crouching before him with gratitude in his eyes, “Sister Yao, I didn’t expect you to be skilled in medicine.”

Ming Yao pursed her lips and said softly, “Tianyu, if you trust me, tell me the truth!”

Xie Tianyu had worked with Ming Yao twice and had always regarded her as an older sister. When she inquired, he told her the truth.

“The head of my agency company forced me to shoot an adult film. I disagreed, so he found ways to suppress me; recently, he made me dine with a few wealthy female investors who like to get handsy. When I resisted, they complained to my boss.”

“The boss threatened me, saying if I didn’t follow the company’s arrangement, he would cut off my work. At home, I have a sick mother and a sister who’s still in school; I can’t be without work.”

Xie Tianyu hugged his head with both hands, a look of pain appearing on his handsome face, “Although I know that in the entertainment industry, one cannot avoid the unspoken rules, I still can’t get over it in my heart.”

“I just want to diligently do my job. Why is it so hard?”

Tears of pain and discomfort streamed down Xie Tianyu’s eyes.

Ming Yao handed him a tissue, knowing that he wouldn’t cry unless he was in deep sorrow.

“Since you’ve called me Sister Yao, I will help you with this matter.”

Xie Tianyu shook his head, “I appreciate your kindness, Sister Yao, but I can’t involve you in this.”

His company, Huatian Entertainment, was one of the top three entertainment industry giants in C Country.

The boss was very controlling; if he didn’t act as he was told, even if he asked to terminate the contract, the company wouldn’t agree.

Moreover, Sister Yao was just a newcomer who had recently made a name for herself in the entertainment circle.

He couldn’t drag her down.

“It won’t trouble me; the first step you should take is to make your company actively seek to terminate your contract.”
