Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 379 - Chapter 379 Chapter 378 Fourth Master is afraid of injections

Chapter 379: Chapter 378: Fourth Master is afraid of injections, he says it will make him a laughingstock! Chapter 379: Chapter 378: Fourth Master is afraid of injections, he says it will make him a laughingstock! The nurse quietly explained the situation.

Ming Yao, “…”

Just because the injection was done incorrectly once, he refuses to get another?

Ming Yao took the small cart from the nurse, “I’ll go in and give him the injection!”

“You know how?”

“I do.”

The nurse looked at her as if she were a savior, “Thank you so much.”

“It’s nothing.”

Ming Yao pushed the small cart inside.

The handsome and indifferent man was leaning on the hospital bed, checking his business phone. Without even lifting his eyes at the sound, his voice coolly demanded, “Didn’t you understand what I said? No need for the injection, get out!”

Ming Yao ignored him.

She pushed the small cart over to the bedside.

She hung up the IV bag and adjusted the needle.

“Don’t make me repeat myself!” Gu Siting lifted his eyelids for a glance, thinking it was a nurse, but was surprised to see Ming Yao instead.

He thought he must be hallucinating.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again, and it was still Ming Yao.

The man’s expression turned even colder, “Why are you here?”

Ming Yao took out the needle, glancing at the man with tight facial contours, “I’m here to give you the injection.”

“I don’t need it!”

Ming Yao raised an eyebrow, “Fourth Master Gu, who isn’t even afraid of death, can’t be scared of needles, right?”

“Who told you I’m afraid of needles?”

When the man’s face was stern, his features sharp and cold, he looked fierce.

His presence was overwhelming, enough to make anyone feel intimidated.

But Ming Yao was not deterred by his aura.

Instead, she dared to challenge him, “If you’re not afraid, then why won’t you take the injection?”

“It’s just a minor injury, it’s not a big deal.”

“Where is it a minor injury?” Ming Yao, not wanting to waste words with him, directly grabbed his hand.

The man tried to pull back, but Ming Yao frowned and glared at him, “Try to refuse, I dare you.”

Her eyes held a blunt warning.

Seeing her gaze, the man paused.

Two seconds later, the needle was inserted into the vein on the back of his hand.

A slight sting quickly dissipated.

Gu Siting pressed his tongue against his back teeth, “Ming Yao, do you really think I wouldn’t dare throw you out?”

Ming Yao dusted off her hands, “Mr. Gu, if you dare throw me out, I will spread the word about your fear of injections!”

A formidable CEO, afraid of neither heaven nor earth, yet afraid of needles–it would indeed be a laughable tale!

Gu Siting’s face turned from blue to purple, his jawline taut, “Ming, Yao!”

Ming Yao ignored his gaze that seemed to want to devour her alive and poured out some soup, “Will you drink it or not?”

The man pressed his thin, cold lips tightly together, “No.”

Seeing his cold demeanor, Ming Yao set down the thermos, crossing her arms as she looked at him.

“You got hurt this time trying to save me. Once you’re better, naturally, I won’t bother you anymore. But for now, I will take care of you!”

Gu Siting’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, “I don’t need it for the time being.”

“Because of Yin Zhe?” Ming Yao felt a surge of hatred at the mention of that name.

The type to engage in such despicable acts could only be him!

“If he really is the puppet master behind this, he probably knows about you saving me today.” Her eyes grew cold, “I suppose he’ll think of me as your weakness!”

“`

Hearing Ming Yao’s words, Gu Siting slightly hooked the corner of his lips as if not quite sure, “Do you think you are?”

Ming Yao could feel that if she answered, this man would definitely find a way to humiliate her.

So she changed the topic decisively, “Did you send someone to investigate? If today’s incident was truly Yin Zhe’s doing, I’ll cripple him!”

Not only that, but she would also make him wish for death, longing for life but unable to have it!

Seeing the fleeting ruthlessness in Ming Yao’s eyes, Gu Siting unexpectedly shuddered.

“Lu Zhou should be arriving soon.”

And before long, Lu Zhou did arrive.

“Fourth Master, Miss Ming.”

Gu Siting began with a stern expression, “How’s the investigation going?”

“When the cemetery exploded, those who were forcibly demolishing almost all ran away, but our people caught the leader. Tough as nails, he wouldn’t confess anything about Yin Zhe, only admitting that everything was arranged by him!”

Gu Siting’s eyes narrowed, deep and bottomless.

Yin Zhe wasn’t stupid; he must have thought of an escape plan while doing these things.

The lead man must have some leverage in his hands; even if killed, he wouldn’t confess Yin Zhe’s involvement.

But that was alright, if Yin Zhe wouldn’t admit it, he’d still make him pay the price!

…

A week later.

Old Master Yin’s seventieth birthday.

The birthday banquet was held at a five-star hotel in the capital city.

Old Master Yin was dressed in a Chinese tunic suit, looking spirited and rosy-cheeked, clearly in a good mood.

On such an important day, Yin Zhe, as the legitimate grandson, naturally had to attend.

The matter in Li City had not ended Gu Siting and Ming Yao, making him quite vexed.

However, it didn’t matter; that incident confirmed for him that Ming Yao was Gu Siting’s weakness.

With Gu Siting’s Achilles’ heel in his hands, wouldn’t he be easy to deal with later on?

After Old Master Yin’s birthday banquet, he’d see how he’d clean up Gu Siting!

Old Master Yin had always enjoyed practicing calligraphy and playing with birds.

Last year, Yin Zhe gave Old Master Yin a set of valuable Four Treasures of Study, and this year he found a Blue-throated Macaw to cater to his interests.

This kind of parrot was quite rare and precious, beautiful in color, and large in size, with long tail feathers and wings of blue-green.

Yin Zhe had gone through great efforts to find this bird.

He had the birdcage brought in, covered with a layer of dark purple silk, and had Old Master Yin personally unveil the dark purple silk.

As the silk was lifted, the guests in the banquet hall all let out sounds of amazement.

Indeed, the Blue-throated Macaw was breathtakingly beautiful!

A delighted smile also appeared on Old Master Yin’s face.

Seeing this, Father Yin and Mother Yin exchanged a look, pride showing in their eyes.

Every year on Old Master Yin’s birthday, the gifts from Yin Zhe were always the most to Old Master Yin’s liking.

Old Master Yin approached the cage, nodding continuously, “Not bad, not bad. I’ve always wanted to raise a Blue-throated Macaw, but they’re too rare to find easily. Ah Zhe, I appreciate the thought, Grandfather accepts it!”

A smile appeared on Yin Zhe’s face, “Grandfather, as long as you like it. It can even talk!”

Yin Zhe whistled, signaling the parrot to speak.

The parrot looked at Old Master Yin and suddenly began, “Grandfather…”

The voice of this Blue-throated Macaw was different from other parrots; while other parrots had a raspy voice, its voice was somewhat clear and pleasant to hear.

Old Master Yin’s face bloomed with joy upon hearing it address him as grandfather.

The surrounding guests continued to compliment Yin Zhe.

“No wonder the Crown Prince appreciates Yin Zhe; he really knows how to read people’s feelings, just look how he’s made the old master laugh!”

“I heard that Yin Jian has a son; he must be the quiet one in the corner, right? Handsome, sure, but he doesn’t seem to know how to handle things, unable to gain the old master’s favor. What future could he have in the Yin family?”

Just when everyone was praising Yin Zhe, an unexpected scene suddenly occurred.
