Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 408 - Chapter 408 Chapter 407 Seeing Him Walking with Another Woman

Chapter 408: Chapter 407: Seeing Him Walking with Another Woman Chapter 408: Chapter 407: Seeing Him Walking with Another Woman Ming Yao wanted to snatch the man’s phone and change his WeChat profile picture.

Though it was just a photo of their fingers tightly intertwined, no one else knew that hand was hers, but she herself felt quite embarrassed when she saw it.

Gu Siting naturally wouldn’t let Ming Yao get his phone.

He raised the phone high.

Ming Yao jumped up to snatch it, but Gu Siting pressed her head down with his large palm, his angular and handsome face closing in on hers.

As Ming Yao jumped, her lips just brushed the corner of his mouth.

A thin smile filled the man’s dark eyes, “Taking the initiative to kiss me?”

Ming Yao had never seen someone so shameless!

What a jerk!

“Are you going to change it or not?”

“Kiss me again, and I’ll change it.”

Ming Yao glared at the man.

The man bent down, his handsome face moving closer, “Or should I kiss you?”

Before Ming Yao could say anything, he was about to kiss her, when his phone started vibrating.

Ming Yao stretched out both hands and pushed the man’s handsome face away.

“Answer the call.”

Gu Siting glanced at the caller ID.

It was from Yanxi.

He frowned slightly and pressed the answer button.

He didn’t move away from Ming Yao, so when Yanxi’s angry voice came through, she heard everything loud and clear.

“Fourth Brother, what are you doing? You can’t just drop Ming Yao off and not take Sister Shi Ying, right? It’s raining outside, she got soaked on her way back to the hospital, did you know her eyes have problems?”

Gu Siting was slightly taken aback, “What happened?”

“I heard from Siew Wei that after Sister Shi Ying was saved by him, she suffered from insomnia for a while because of a bacterial infection causing corneal opacity.”

“She had a transplant surgery once, but the doctor said there might be rejection issues and told her to protect her eyes.”

“You didn’t drive her back to the hospital, she got wet in the rain, and her eyes developed problems again!”

“Fourth Brother, even if you’re eager to win back Ming Yao, you can’t treat Sister Shi Ying like that! In the middle of the night, if something had happened to her as a woman, could you live with your conscience?”

Gu Siting’s brows furrowed tightly, “I’ll go to the hospital right away.”

After hanging up, Gu Siting looked at Ming Yao, “Don’t take Yanxi’s words to heart.”

Ming Yao pressed her lips together, “No, you should go check on Miss Shi.”

Gu Siting hummed softly, turned around, and left Ming Yao’s apartment with big strides.

…..

When Gu Siting arrived at the hospital, Yanxi had already accompanied Shi Ying through her examination.

“How are your eyes?”

Shi Ying was sitting in a wheelchair, her vision not yet restored.

Upon hearing Gu Siting’s voice, she frowned, “I told Yanxi not to notify you, why did you come?”

“Sister Shi Ying, it was Fourth Brother who was in the wrong tonight, so I gave him a piece of my mind over the phone!”

Shi Ying disagreed with Yanxi’s actions and sighed, “That will cause Miss Ming to misunderstand, and you, stop running over here in the future, I really am fine.”

“Also, it was my choice to walk back, it has nothing to do with Ah Ting.”

Yanxi looked at the considerate and kind Shi Ying, his peach blossom eyes revealing distress, “Sister Ying, you’re just too considerate of others. Back when you took two bullets for Fourth Brother, you nearly died, and now, to avoid disturbing him and Ming Yao, you almost went blind…”

Hearing Yanxi’s words, Gu Siting’s brows knitted even tighter.

He knew all too well how much he owed Shi Ying.

“I was negligent.” After asking the doctor about Shi Ying’s eye condition, Gu Siting returned to the ward and took out a Black Card from his wallet to give to Shi Ying, “I’ll hire a caretaker to look after Mr. Siew, and you could look for a house in the capital, then find a maid to take care of you. I will find a suitable cornea donor for you.”

Shi Ying shook her head, “The sudden rain tonight was unexpected, from now on as long as I take good care of myself and avoid injuring my eyes, it will be fine. You don’t have to give me the card–”

Yanxi took the Black Card on Shi Ying’s behalf, “If Fourth Brother is giving it to you, just take it. Aren’t you meeting with the Shi Family in a couple of days? You’ll need money to buy them gifts too.”

Gu Siting looked at Shi Ying and nodded, “Yanxi is right.”

Shi Ying looked at Gu Siting, touched, “Thank you, Ah Ting, will you have time tomorrow? I want to go buy gifts for my family, could you accompany me to choose them?”

Gu Siting slightly furrowed his brows, “I have an important meeting to attend tomorrow.”

“I’ll go with you, Sister Shi Ying,” Yanxi said.

The day after the next was Mother Xia’s forty-fifth birthday, which Xia Yiwan reminded Yanxi about a while ago.

Xia Yiwan had custom-ordered an embroidered Cheongsam for Mother Xia from Mingyao’s place, and she also wanted to give Mother Xia a designer handbag.

So she called Mingyao to ask for her advice.

The two went to a high-end mall.

After browsing around, they arrived at the flagship store of the Emerald brand handbags.

Xia Yiwan spotted the classic Emerald crossbody bag at first glance, handmade from crocodile skin, and set with 588 tiny diamonds; the chain was crafted from pure gold.

Quite luxurious and high-end.

“Yaoyao, what do you think of that bag as a gift for my mother?”

Mingyao nodded, “It’s suitable.”

The sales associate glanced at Xia Yiwan, “Miss, that bag is the most expensive one from Emerald, globally limited, and there’s only one in the entire country. Are you sure you want to see it?”

Xia Yiwan nodded, “Yes, I’m sure.”

The sales associate, after glancing at Xia Yiwan and Mingyao’s attire, brought out the bag.

“Three million, non-negotiable.”

As soon as the sales associate finished speaking, the manager of Emerald walked over, “Dear customers, I’m terribly sorry, but we have a super VIP guest arriving, and the store needs to be cleared out. You’re welcome to come back another time!”

Being familiar with the rules of luxury flagship stores, both Mingyao and Xia Yiwan understood.

If a VIP customer requests a shutdown, the store will have to comply.

“Yaoyao, let’s go check out another store, shall we?”

Mingyao and Xia Yiwan headed towards the exit when suddenly, they saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman approaching.

“This store must be quite expensive, isn’t it, Yanxi?”

“Don’t worry, if you’re reluctant to use Fourth Brother’s card, I’ll buy it for you.”

Seeing the approaching Yanxi and Shi Ying, both Xia Yiwan and Mingyao were taken aback.

Especially Xia Yiwan, whose hands hanging by her sides suddenly clenched into fists.

He says he’s busy every day, could it be that he’s actually out shopping with another woman?

After Yanxi finished speaking to Shi Ying and looked up, he noticed Xia Yiwan standing at the entrance of the flagship store.

He was slightly startled.

“Xia Yiwan, what are you doing here?” Seeing Xia Yiwan, Yanxi showed no sign of guilt.

Xia Yiwan bit her lower lip, “I should be asking you, what are you doing here?”

“I’m helping Sister Shi Ying pick out some things,” Yanxi introduced, “This is my wife, Xia Yiwan.”

Hearing him introduce her identity to the woman by his side, Xia Yiwan felt a bit better.

“So you are Mrs. Yan Xi. You’re here to buy bags too? Have you found one you like?”

The store manager, after overhearing the conversation and finding out Xia Yiwan was Young Master Yan’s wife, quickly said, “Mrs. Yan has taken a liking to a classic handbag.”

Yanxi took out his card, “Wrap it up for her.”

The store manager handed over the packaged handbag to Yanxi, who then handed it to Xia Yiwan, whispering, “Sister Shi Ying is Fourth Brother’s benefactor and someone I’ve grown up with since we were young. It hasn’t been easy for her to come back from the dead, and I’m just accompanying her to buy some things. You won’t be that petty, right?”

Xia Yiwan took the bag, “As you wish.”
