Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 375 - Chapter 375 Chapter 374 He Pulled Her Into His Chest

Chapter 375: Chapter 374: He Pulled Her Into His Chest Chapter 375: Chapter 374: He Pulled Her Into His Chest Ming Yao exerted the strength of nine bulls and two tigers to help the man up to the master bedroom on the second floor.

She grabbed a pillow for him so he could lean against the headboard.

She placed her fingers on his wrist and took his pulse for him.

It seemed he really was suffering from a stomachache.

“Where’s the stomach medicine?”

The man had his eyes closed, his sword-like eyebrows tightly furrowed, and a few drops of cold sweat were still trickling down his handsome face, looking agonizingly uncomfortable.

Upon hearing Ming Yao’s words, he gently lifted his eyelids.

“In the bedside table.”

Ming Yao quickly found the stomach medicine and went out to bring in a cup of warm water.

She handed the medicine and water to the man.

The man did not reach out to take them, his dark eyes slowly moving up from her legs.

Finally, they settled on her bright yet coldly enchanting face.

She seemed to have lost some weight.

“Why have you lost weight?” he asked in a husky voice.

Ming Yao was speechless for a moment.

Wasn’t he suffering terribly from a stomachache?

Why was he bringing up these irrelevant matters?

“Just take the medicine quickly.”

The man did not move.

Just as Ming Yao’s patience was nearly worn out, he suddenly spoke, “Uncomfortable, can’t lift my hand.”

Ming Yao, “…”

Wasn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?

She frowned and observed him.

His eyebrows were deeply furrowed, his dark eyes mysterious and profound, making it impossible to see the emotions within, his nose bridge high like a mountain, his thin crimson lips tightly pressed into a line, showing a trace of paleness, his jawline lean and harsh.

At some point, the top three buttons of his shirt had come undone, revealing his exquisite collarbone and a glimpse of his sturdy, muscular chest beneath.

At this moment, he appeared weak, gaunt, dejected, yet mysteriously oozing sex appeal.

It was poles apart from his usual cold and peerless demeanor.

If it weren’t for checking his pulse and confirming he really did have a stomachache, Ming Yao would have suspected that his current state was an attempt at seducing her!

Perhaps sensing her scrutiny, the man raised his deep eyes to look at her.

Their gazes met in the silent air.

Ming Yao’s heart skipped a beat, and the water glass she was holding nearly slipped from her grasp.

After a few seconds of eye contact, she forcibly handed the glass and the medicine to him.

“Take it yourself!”

The man looked down at the medicine and water glass in his hand, his voice husky as he said, “Ming Yao, you are kind to everyone but only cruel to me.”

Hearing his words, Ming Yao’s heart suddenly tightened.

He threw the pill into his throat, slightly tilted his head back, and brought the water glass to his lips.

Standing beside the bed, Ming Yao could clearly hear the sound of his swallowing as he drank the water, his sexy Adam’s apple moving up and down with each gulp, as sexy as could be.

Perhaps because he drank too quickly, a drop of water trickled down from the corner of his mouth, slowly flowing along his well-defined jaw, down his neck, and eventually disappearing into his shirt.

Ming Yao had never seen a man drink water with such sex appeal.

She held her breath for a moment.

The man finished the last sip of water and handed the glass back to her.

Ming Yao reached out to take it without thinking.

However, just as she took the glass, the man’s large hand clasped her fingertips.

His fingers were like molten lava, carrying a scorching heat.

Ming Yao jumped in shock, and the glass in her hand dropped to the floor.

It made a loud bang as it hit.

Before she could react, the man wrapped his hand tightly around hers.

Ming Yao struggled to withdraw her hand, but she couldn’t break free.

With a little force from him, her whole body unsteadily fell into his chest.

Ming Yao’s heart instantly became a mess.

Her hands pressed against his solid, hard chest, trying to push him away, but the more she pushed, the less he was willing to let go of her.

She lifted her eyes to look at him.

He was looking down at her, and as soon as she looked up, their eyes met.

The broken hair on his forehead fell down, not as meticulously kept as usual, and there was a hint of scarlet in his narrow eyes, which seemed somewhat sinister.

After pulling her into his embrace, he suddenly flipped her over.

The positions of the two changed quickly.

She was underneath.

He was on top.

He lowered his head to look at her, their noses almost touching.

Their breaths intertwined.

The air in the room inexplicably heated up.

Ming Yao’s eyelashes trembled violently.

Being pressed down by him like this, all she could breathe in was his masculine scent, strong and dangerous, making her feel uneasy and flustered.

“Gu Siting, what are you doing?”

The man did not speak immediately, his rough fingertips caressed her smooth, jade-like cheeks, and after several seconds, his hoarse voice slowly rose by her ear, “Ming Yao, I was going to let you go, but you provoked me again!”

His breath as he spoke all sprayed onto her earlobes and cheeks.

Her fair skin uncontrollably flushed with a faint red.

Her hands pressed against his chest, not letting him get too close.

Her beautiful eyes glared at him in annoyed embarrassment, “How did I provoke you?”

From start to finish, wasn’t it him who caused her trouble?

Today wasn’t it her idea to have dinner with him, nor was it her initiative to bring him back, right?

As if seeing the confusion in Ming Yao’s heart, the man narrowed his pitch-black, profound eyes, “That day at the private restaurant’s entrance, do you remember what you did to me?”

Ming Yao felt a tingling sensation in her scalp from his gaze.

Seeing the dangerous look in the man’s eyes, Ming Yao pursed her lips, “If you dare to do anything impolite to me, I don’t mind using my knee against you again!”

The man’s throat chuckled coldly, “Miss Ming, have you ever thought about the consequences of that knee strike?”

Ming Yao seemed to realize something was wrong; her eyes widened slightly, “You don’t mean–”

“Yes, I’m incapacitated!”

The man stood up from her, “You should be very clear about what I felt for you before, but now that I’m incapacitated, even if I have any intimate actions with you, it’s just a useless man!”

Ming Yao, “…”

“I was thinking of suing you in court, but I will give you a chance.”

The man leaned down slightly, his long fingers pinched her chin, “Find a way to cure me, and I won’t pursue the responsibility.”

Ming Yao got up from the bed and stretched her hand out to the man, “Let me check your pulse again.”

The man extended his hand towards her.

Her pulse reading did not show any problems with his body; she furrowed her eyebrows, “Have you seen a specialist in andrology?”

Gu Siting threw a medical record book on her.

After Ming Yao read it, the corner of her mouth twitched.

He really was injured.

Thinking of her own actions outside the private restaurant that day, it seemed she did indeed use a lot of force.

“I’ll go back and prepare the medicine first; you should recover after taking it.”

The man snorted coldly, “You’d better hope so. Until I have recovered, you must be at my beck and call.”

Ming Yao, “…”

Why did she feel like she had fallen into a trap?

…

After returning to the Nangong Family, Ming Yao wrote a list of ingredients needed to refine medicine and asked Jing Hang to help her procure them.

Once she got the ingredients, she locked herself in the room to refine medicine.

On the Yin family’s side.

The matter of the live broadcast had stirred up a storm throughout the city.

Upon learning that Yin Zhe had impregnated Nangong Xuan, Father Yin slapped him fiercely across the face.
