Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 401 - Chapter 401 Chapter 400 The Ex-Husband is Also a Husband

Chapter 401: Chapter 400: The Ex-Husband is Also a Husband Chapter 401: Chapter 400: The Ex-Husband is Also a Husband Ming Yao raised her head and looked towards the private room.

She happened to see several familiar figures.

Gu Siting, Fu Yunshen, Yanxi, and others…

The one who had just spoken was Yanxi. He stood next to Shi Ying, looking at her with a face full of adoration.

Ming Yao quickly looked towards Gu Siting. Gu Siting, however, was not as enthusiastic as Yanxi; he was talking to Fu Yunshen.

Perhaps her gaze was too intense, the man suddenly turned his head to glance at the doorway of the private room.

Upon seeing her, he was slightly taken aback.

After exchanging glances with him for two seconds, Ming Yao withdrew her gaze and said to Huo Ci and Liu Wushuang beside her, “Let’s go!”

Now that Shi Ying was back, all these men had gathered around her.

No wonder Wen Yuci said in our chat group that Fu Yunshen hadn’t sought her out recently; she hoped he was tired of her and that they could end their contract relationship soon.

And Xia Yiwan, she seemed to have been somewhat downcast lately.

Just last night, she had messaged Ming Yao privately, wondering if men would become tired after obtaining what they wanted?

Actually, when Ming Yao was still married to Gu Siting, she had the same worries as Xia Yiwan.

But she later realized that if a man truly liked a woman, he would only cherish her more after he had won her over.

And Xia Yiwan told Ming Yao that Yanxi hadn’t been answering her calls recently and that he came home very late every night.

Once, when Xia Yiwan leaned into his arms, he quickly moved away.

Thinking of this, Ming Yao felt somewhat irritated.

If Yanxi dared to do anything unfaithful to Wanwan, she wouldn’t let him off easily!

To thank Ming Yao, Huo Ci ordered a big table full of dishes.

Ming Yao’s mouth twitched, “There’s so much food; the three of us can’t finish it. Why don’t we invite the rest of the class over?”

Seeing Ming Yao mention Class 2023 without showing the disdain that other teachers had, Huo Ci’s face broke into a smile, “If Teacher Ming doesn’t mind the noise, I’d really call them over.”

“Call them!”

Before long, most of Class 2023 had arrived.

Amidst their raucous encouragement, Ming Yao drank a few glasses of alcohol.

“That’s enough, that’s enough; Teacher Ming is a girl, and drinking too much is bad for her health,” Huo Ci declared, and the other students dared not egg her on any further.

Ming Yao stood up from her chair, “You guys continue to eat; I’m going to the restroom.”

With her in the room, they couldn’t relax.

After leaving the private room, Ming Yao settled the bill in advance and then went to the restroom.

Exiting the restroom, she saw a tall figure leaning against the corridor wall, with one long leg slightly bent and the other extended into the corridor, blocking the way.

Ming Yao only glanced at the man once before averting her eyes.

She stepped over his long leg, intending to leave, but the next second, her wrist was firmly clasped by him.

He pulled her into the men’s restroom.

Ming Yao, blushing with annoyance, wriggled out of his grasp and turned to leave.

But the man was quicker, and with a kick of his long leg, he closed the door of the restroom.

Ming Yao glared at him, “Gu Siting, aren’t you busy? What, you still have time to deal with me?”

She placed her hands on his chest and pushed hard against him.

Students from Class 2023 were still in the private room; if a male student came to the restroom and saw him pinning her against the wall, she would never be able to face anyone again.

“Move out of the way, don’t block my path!”

Looking at Ming Yao’s tense little face, Gu Siting lifted his well-defined fingers and lightly grazed the tip of her nose, “Are you jealous?”

Ming Yao slapped his hand away forcefully, “Don’t touch me.”

Gu Siting’s eyebrows lifted slightly, “It seems that you are indeed quite jealous!”

Ming Yao was not in the mood to discuss this with Gu Siting; her expression cooled further, “Who you’re with has nothing to do with me!”

Seeing Ming Yao genuinely upset, Gu Siting stopped teasing her. He placed his hands on either side of her waist, trapping her between his chest and the door.

Lowering his head, his dark eyes watched her with an abyssal intensity, “You weren’t seeing things; that was indeed Shi Ying in the private room, and she’s still alive.”

Seeing him mention Shi Ying of his own accord, Ming Yao’s push faltered slightly.

“When I was in Italy, didn’t I talk to you about the heart matter? The donor was Shi Ying’s boyfriend.”

Gu Siting told her about meeting Siew Wei in Italy and about Shi Ying’s amnesia.

“Siew Wei’s greatest wish is for Shi Ying to regain her memory, so I brought them both to the capital, and I’ve been trying to help Shi Ying recover her memories.”

Worried that Ming Yao might misunderstand, he said solemnly, “But there’s absolutely nothing ambiguous between us, never was and never will be.”

Seeing the nervous way he acted, as if afraid she would misunderstand, the flicker of anger in Ming Yao’s chest dissipated instantly.

Based on her understanding of him, he had no reason to lie to her.

“That day in Italy, why did you suddenly return to the country without even telling me?”

Gu Siting cleared his throat softly, “That’s because…”

“Tell the truth!”

Gu Siting then took Ming Yao’s hand and pressed it to his cheekbone and the corner of his lip, “Look here, can you still see some bruising?”

Ming Yao examined him closely.

There was indeed bruising, as if he had been injured.

“That day, after I met your Senior Brother at the cafe, we got into a fight, and my face got marked. I didn’t want you to see me like that, so I returned to the country first,” he explained, and quickly added, “Your Senior Brother didn’t fare much better, I punched him too!”

The corners of Ming Yao’s mouth twitched.

Were they children?

They were almost thirty-year-old men, still getting into fights?

Seeing Ming Yao staring at him, Gu Siting said with a slight sense of grievance, “Yaoyao, let’s remarry, okay? That way, your Senior Brother will give up for good!”

Ming Yao shook off the man’s hand, “Wishful thinking.”

Gu Siting’s handsome features instantly grew tense, “What, do you want to get back together with your Senior Brother?”

“I don’t want to talk about this anymore with you.” Ming Yao pushed away the hand that Gu Siting had on the restroom door and walked out.

But after a few steps, the man caught up to her from behind.

He took her delicate hand and pulled her along with him.

Seeing him leading her to their private room, Ming Yao’s brow furrowed, “What are you doing?”

“Everyone in the private room, except for Shi Ying, you’ve met before. I’m bringing you along for the meal,” he said.

“I’ve already eaten.”

“Then meet them, so you won’t get jealous for no reason.”

Ming Yao was speechless for a moment, “Who said I was jealous? At most, you’re just my ex-husband!”

The man huffed coldly, “An ex-husband is still a husband.”

Ming Yao, “…”

Gu Siting’s grip was strong, not allowing Ming Yao to break free, and indeed, she could not.

He forcibly pulled her into the private room.

The people in the room, hearing the commotion, all turned to look at the doorway.

Seeing Ming Yao, Yanxi frowned in displeasure.

“Fourth Brother, why did you bring Ming Yao over here?”

Yanxi’s displeased tone made Ming Yao pause momentarily.

Gu Siting pulled Ming Yao into the room, “I’m bringing my woman to meet Sister Shi Ying, is there a problem?”

“It’s not that there’s a problem, but Sister Shi Ying hasn’t recovered her memory. Don’t upset her!”

The fact that Shi Ying and Su Mo were lovers was something Yanxi never knew about.

Yanxi had always thought that Gu Siting’s first love was Shi Ying.
