Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 412 - Chapter 412 Chapter 411 Pacifying Her Anger

Chapter 412: Chapter 411: Pacifying Her Anger Chapter 412: Chapter 411: Pacifying Her Anger Recently, Gu Siting had been a bit busy with work, but he still made time to say good morning to Ming Yao every day and wish her good night in the evening.

He sent people to deliver flowers or desserts to her company.

But this woman, she stubbornly gave him not a single response.

He didn’t know what he had done to offend her again?

They say a woman’s heart is an ocean’s needle–it seems absolutely correct!

Ming Yao turned her head to look at the man with deep black eyes and a face full of grievance, and snorted softly, “You didn’t offend me, but your brother offended me!”

Gu Siting, “…” His brother offended her, and he had to take the blame?

Gu Siting pursed his crimson lips tightly, “Are you talking about Yanxi?”

Mentioning Yanxi made Ming Yao seethe with anger.

“A couple of days ago, it was Aunt Xia’s birthday; many relatives of the Xia family attended, and Yanxi promised Wanwan he would come back for lunch. However, he didn’t show up, and even turned off his phone.”

When Ming Yao arrived at the banquet hall, the disparaging comments of those relatives were so distasteful that she still felt bad for Wanwan just thinking about it.

Each one of them seemed to think Wanwan was not good enough for Yanxi, saying that she clung to an aristocratic family without being valued, and that Yanxi would eventually dump her.

At that time, the embarrassment and discomfort on the faces of Father Xia and Mother Xia were extreme.

If Yanxi had appeared on time, he could have resolved everything and shut those penniless relatives up.

But Yanxi didn’t show up!

He allowed Wanwan, Father Xia, and Mother Xia to be humiliated!

Seeing Wanwan crying in her arms, Ming Yao truly felt heartbroken.

Hearing Ming Yao’s accusations, Gu Siting looked wronged.

“I heard he had something urgent that day and didn’t make it to lunch, but he went in the evening, and these past two days he has been in Li City with his wife, accompanying his father-in-law and mother-in-law!”

Fearing Ming Yao wouldn’t believe him, Gu Siting opened the brotherhood group chat on his WeChat.

“Look, he even posted a small video to the group.”

In the video, Mother Xia had prepared a big table of dishes for Yanxi, and Yanxi said it was nice to have a mother-in-law.

After watching the video, Ming Yao took out her phone and dialed Xia Yiwan.

The phone rang for quite a while before Xia Yiwan answered.

Her voice sounded a bit coquettish, seductive, and soft, “Yaoyao…” Mid-sentence, as if someone was with her, she whispered with her hand over the mic, “Stop messing around, go away…”

Ming Yao had sharp hearing and caught Yanxi saying, ‘Why are you taking calls at this hour?’

Ming Yao seemed to understand something; she quickly said, “I dialed the wrong number, I have stuff to do, gotta hang up now.”

After hanging up the phone, Ming Yao looked at the man beside her, “What’s with that look?”

“The look of a husband wronged and neglected because of a false accusation.”

Hearing his words, Ming Yao couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

He had made her laugh.

Seeing her smile, Gu Siting’s lips also couldn’t help but curve into a smile.

…

After they arrived at the residential complex and got out of the elevator, seeing Yun Zhuo waiting at the entrance to Ming Yao’s apartment, Gu Siting’s brows slightly furrowed.

His good mood suddenly vanished.

“Senior Brother, what do you need me for?”

Hearing Ming Yao’s words, Gu Siting’s jawline tensed.

So she came back here because his Senior Brother was looking for her?

This woman, if he didn’t look for her, she might as well act as if he didn’t exist.

But as soon as her Senior Brother calls, she comes running back!

Yun Zhuo glanced at the man behind Ming Yao, whose black eyes were fierce and watchful, and his elegant face turned somber, “I need to speak with you alone.”

“Alright.” Ming Yao turned back to Gu Siting, “You can go back next door!”

Gu Siting, with his arms crossed, leaned against the wall, showing no intention of returning to the apartment next door.

Ming Yao had no choice but to open the door and let Yun Zhuo in.

Gu Siting shamelessly followed them in.

Seeing this, Ming Yao felt somewhat helpless and a bit angry, “Senior Brother has something to discuss with me, can you stop causing trouble?”

Gu Siting sat down on the couch, “A man and a woman alone together, I don’t feel at ease.”

Ming Yao clenched her small fist and threw a punch at his chest.

Watching the interactions between Ming Yao and Gu Siting, Yun Zhuo’s eyes revealed a hint of dimness.

Whether in the past or the present, Xiao Yao always behaved properly in front of him, never exhibiting this kind of coquettish demeanor of a little woman.

Although she quibbled and argued with Gu Siting, speaking rudely, that was also a sign of familiarity.

Because she knew, no matter how unpleasant her words, Gu Siting would not get angry with her, but would instead be tolerant.

Yet, in his presence, she had kinship and politeness, but not the thick love and whispers between lovers.

Without avoiding Gu Siting, Yun Zhuo said in his light voice, “I need to go back to Tang Sect, it will be a while before I can visit again.”

Hearing Yun Zhuo was leaving, no one was happier than Gu Siting.

“Take care, no need to see you out.”

Ming Yao glared at Gu Siting, “Don’t speak.”

Ming Yao looked at Yun Zhuo and sensing something from his expression, she felt that something happened at Tang Sect.

She asked in a low voice, “Has something happened?”

“I will handle it.” Yun Zhuo glanced at the man on the couch, “Think carefully about your feelings, if you truly choose him, I will bless you too.”

Not long after Yun Zhuo left, Jing Hang came over.

He still couldn’t resist the impulse to first check who was in the room and immediately started shouting from the doorway, “I found out, Senior Brother suddenly went back to Tang Sect because the junior sister attempted suicide!”

Ming Yao’s eyes widened, “How is she now?”

“She’s not in any serious danger, but the master was furious.”

No sooner had Jing Hang finished speaking than Gu Siting’s low and magnetic voice sounded, “Yaoyao, if you get back together with me, you won’t have to worry about this sort of trouble, after all, I don’t have a first love, and no woman would commit suicide over me!”

Seeing Gu Siting there, Jing Hang’s mouth twitched.

Ming Yao turned back and glared speechlessly at Gu Siting, “As if you don’t have enough bad romance troubles?”

Gu Siting, “…”

After a few seconds, Gu Siting walked up to Ming Yao and took her slender white hand, “Yaoyao, no matter how many romantic entanglements I have, my heart is only set on you.”

Jing Hang looked away in an expression of uninterest, “Sister, you’ve got instant noodles here, right? I haven’t had dinner.”

“Yes, go make yourself some in the kitchen.”

After Jing Hang went to the kitchen, Gu Siting wrapped his other arm around Ming Yao’s slender waist, “Yaoyao, I came to see you today because there’s something I’d like your help with.”

Seeing the man becoming serious and earnest, Ming Yao pulled her hand back, “If you have something to say, say it. No need for handsy behavior.”

“I’d like you to help Chengjin.” Without waiting for Ming Yao to respond, Gu Siting added, “Leaving aside what’s between us, I can pay double the fee for any surgery you perform outside for others.”

Ming Yao pressed her lips together slightly.

She was well aware of Mu Chengjin’s condition.

She hadn’t spoken about it before, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t preparing.

His wrist and leg would require a special surgical material to heal.

Ming Yao had arranged for Jing Hang to order that rare material from Europe three months ago.

If her estimation was correct, they should be receiving it soon.

“You don’t need to pay double the surgical fees, I consider myself acquainted with Mu Chengjin, and I will surely help him if I can.”
