Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 411 - Chapter 411 Chapter 410 Doesnt he have any feelings for her at

Chapter 411: Chapter 410: Doesn’t he have any feelings for her at all? Chapter 411: Chapter 410: Doesn’t he have any feelings for her at all? A surge of extreme sourness welled up in her eyes, as if some warm liquid was about to break its confines.

The moment Old Lady Yan fainted earlier, Xia Yiwan had been scared into crying.

But the anxious and frantic crying from before was completely different from the feeling of wanting to cry now.

This time it was a sourness and suffocation from being hurt by him.

In his heart, was she just someone in a contractual relationship with him?

Yes, they had signed an agreement when they got married.

But at that time, they had only had a one night stand and had no emotional communication.

However, after living together as a married couple, didn’t he feel anything for her, not even a little heartbeat?

Yet not long ago, he had asked for them to really have a child together!

Was everything fake?

Did he only sleep with her because of his physiological needs?

Tears welled up in Xia Yiwan’s eyes, her throat choked, and for the moment she didn’t know what to say to him.

It was neither appropriate to leave nor to stay.

If she left, it could worsen Old Lady Yan’s condition.

If something were to happen to Old Lady Yan, she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself.

But staying, facing Yanxi’s attitude, made her feel uncomfortable and tormented.

Seeing the thin mist of tears forming in Xia Yiwan’s bright eyes, Yanxi felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

She was always lively and cheerful, full of vitality with a bright smile every day, she was rarely like she was now.

Yanxi realized he was in the wrong, he extended his hand, wanting to hug Xia Yiwan into his arms, but the next second, she pushed him away.

“Don’t touch me!”

Looking at the tears that fell onto her pretty face, Yanxi still forcibly hugged her to him and bowed his head to kiss the tears on her face.

Xia Yiwan struggled in his arms.

Yanxi held her waist tightly, preventing her from moving in his embrace.

Xia Yiwan was angry and annoyed, her little hands clenched into fists, pounding hard on his chest.

Yanxi brought his handsome face close to hers, “It’s my fault, hit me as hard as you want!”

She was held tightly in his arms, her breath filled with his scent.

Looking at his handsome face so close to her, her tear-moistened eyelashes trembled severely.

“Wanwan, don’t be angry, the mother-in-law’s birthday celebration isn’t over yet, I’ll make it up to you later.”

Xia Yiwan turned her face away, not wanting to talk to him.

“I know I was wrong, I really got held up this morning, my phone ran out of battery and turned off automatically, I only realized later that you had called,” he patiently explained to her.

Xia Yiwan sniffled, her voice hoarse as she spoke, “What were you so busy with?”

A flicker of guilt flashed through Yanxi’s peach blossom eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, “Work stuff, I took care of it and then went to Li City to find you.”

Xia Yiwan looked at the man in front of her, unsure whether he was telling the truth or lying.

Seeing her pitiable state, Yanxi cupped her spirited and pretty little face with both hands, “Stop crying, I’ll accompany you back to Li City again. If the mother-in-law doesn’t see me, I’ll kneel at the door and beg for forgiveness.”

“Who asked you to kneel at the door?”

Yanxi’s thin lips approached Xia Yiwan’s, first testing with a kiss, and when he felt her resistance lessen, he scooped her up horizontally in his arms and placed her on the bed.

“Yanxi, what are you doing?”

“Compensating you.”

“Nonsense, I don’t need this kind of compensation. Weren’t you going to go back to Li City with me?”

“Being an hour late won’t matter.”

Xia Yiwan still wanted to say something, but the man pressed down directly, capturing her lips.

…

Because she was annoyed with Yanxi, Ming Yao also found herself irritated with Gu Siting.

She didn’t return to the apartment for two consecutive days, instead, she stayed at the company.

Gu Siting called her, sent WeChat messages, but she ignored them all.

That day, having finished teaching class 2023, Ming Yao had just returned to the office when she received a message from Gu Siting.

[Yaoyao, I’m waiting for you at the school gate.]

Before Ming Yao had a chance to react, another message from him arrived.

[I’ll wait until you come out.]

Ming Yao, “…”

Here, just ten seconds after Gu Siting’s message came through, she received another message from Senior Brother.

[Xiao Yao, come back to the apartment, I have something to tell you.]

Ming Yao felt a headache coming on at her temples.

Had these two coordinated this together?

Always able to find her together?

Ming Yao packed up her books and headed toward the school gate.

From a distance, she saw the man standing there.

Today, he was wearing a white shirt with black cropped trousers, leaving the first two buttons of his shirt undone to reveal a delicate collarbone.

One hand in his pocket, the other with a wristwatch, hung naturally by his side.

Just standing there, his presence was so dominating it was impossible to ignore, his cold, noble demeanor seemingly an innate part of him.

Quite a few female college students, upon seeing him, were itching to approach him for his contact information.

Finding the courage, a girl finally approached him to strike up a conversation.

His brows and eyes were cold, his face icy, showing no reaction to the girl’s shy advances.

He glanced down and, seeing Ming Yao coming out of campus, raised his hand and pointed in her direction.

Ming Yao didn’t know what he said to the girl, but she ran off with a look of dejection.

Seeing Ming Yao, the man’s sharp and rigid face softened slightly.

It was as if the formidable and unapproachable Yama from before had nothing to do with him.

“Teacher Ming, it’s that handsome guy again. He’s here for you, right?”

Some students from class 2023 spotted Gu Siting and gossiped excitedly as they approached Ming Yao.

“Look, he’s looking over at Teacher Ming.”

“Teacher Ming, just come clean, is he pursuing you?”

“Last time I saw him with another woman, he wouldn’t be playing two sides, would he?”

“If he dares, once Brother Ci comes back from the competition, we’ll beat him up together!”

Ming Yao massaged her temples, “Alright, can you not be so gossipy?”

“We’re just curious, which hero has managed to tame Teacher Ming?”

Ming Yao, “Am I that scary?”

Ming Yao wasn’t scary in private, but during class, if anyone wasn’t serious, she would turn into a tigress!

Huang Hao used to dye his hair yellow, but Teacher Ming had decreed that her students couldn’t dye their hair such outrageous colors, so Huang Hao was ordered to dye his hair back to black.

Brother Ci’s granny grey hair also turned black.

Anyway, class 2023 was now held tightly in Teacher Ming’s grasp, not daring to engage in any behavior that violated school discipline!

Ming Yao glanced at Gu Siting; she didn’t plan to pay him any mind and headed straight for her car instead.

Seeing this, Gu Siting chased after her.

Huang Hao and a few other boys cheered, “Wow!”

Ming Yao, seeing Gu Siting coming after her, quickened her pace.

Just as she got into the car, the man pulled open the passenger door and sat down without asking.

Ming Yao, “…”

Gu Siting looked out of the car window, “If you don’t drive now, those students are going to come over.”

Seeing Huang Hao and others walking over, Ming Yao shook her head in disbelief, started the engine, and stepped on the gas, the car racing away.

Once the car had left the campus, Gu Siting looked at the woman with a tight face, “Yaoyao, what did I do to make you angry again, why have you been ignoring me lately?”
