Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 429 - Chapter 429 Chapter 427 She Took the Initiative to Ask Him Out

Chapter 429: Chapter 427: She Took the Initiative to Ask Him Out Chapter 429: Chapter 427: She Took the Initiative to Ask Him Out From the moment he found out in the conference room that she was on Gong Yu’s yacht, his mind went blank.

Panic, fear, mania, anger… a maelstrom of emotions churned inside him.

On the way there, he had even thought that if Gong Yu dared to lay a hand on her, he would do whatever it took to destroy Gong Yu along with himself!

Once he boarded the yacht and arrived at the suite, hearing Gong Yu speaking to her, along with the ambiguous sounds, he felt himself on the verge of collapse.

He felt like he was falling into a boundless black abyss, turning into a furious, raging beast.

If she hadn’t grabbed him in time, he would have indeed entered the room and ended Gong Yu with a single shot.

Any offense against him was tolerable, but no one must touch his woman!

Ming Yao looked at Gu Siting, his profile tightly wound, she stepped forward and gently embraced him.

“It wasn’t me, don’t be angry or upset anymore!”

Gu Siting lifted his stiff hand and tightly embraced Ming Yao in return.

Ming Yao was held so tightly by him, she could barely breathe.

“Cough… Gu Siting…”

She put her hands on his shoulders and pushed him back slightly.

Gu Siting came back to his senses, his mania soothed, and he stared at Ming Yao with dark, profound eyes, “What happened that made you risk yourself by coming to Gong Yu’s place?”

Ming Yao disclosed the matter of Zhou Yanyan being abducted.

Gu Siting’s lips formed a tight line, “Did you find her?”

“I was just about to look for her when I saw you bursting in.”

Gu Siting pressed his tongue against his molars, his voice deep, “So, did I come here for nothing?”

Ming Yao sighed, “You’re openly declaring war on Gong Yu!”

“So what if I am? He’s repeatedly tried to kill me, am I supposed to get along with him?” Gu Siting’s eyes held a chilling hint of murderous intent, “I’ve never been much of a saint.”

However, bringing down Gong Yu required meticulous planning; one wrong move could leave him with no place to be buried, and it could also endanger those around him!

“About Gong Yu sleeping with my body double tonight, don’t expose it. Let him think he has been with your woman and let down his guard!”

Gu Siting looked at Ming Yao with heavy eyes, “Aren’t you worried about your reputation being affected?”

“A little momentary injustice is okay. Once he falls, revealing the truth will be quite interesting, won’t it?”

Gu Siting looked at the woman before him–elegant, radiant, intelligent, astute, yet serene–and couldn’t help but raise his hand and fiercely pinch her cheek.

“Don’t ever take such risks again!”

Ming Yao, wincing from the pain, slapped his hand away discontentedly, “Mr. Gu, we have no relationship now, and there’s no need for you to trouble yourself with my affairs!”

No sooner had she spoken than she saw the man’s face darken visibly.

He jerked his hand away and turned to leave.

When Yin Zhe saw Gu Siting come out, he smiled with schadenfreude, “I told you not to go in there. You got a shock, didn’t you… Ah!”

Gu Siting delivered a punch directly to Yin Zhe’s nose, followed by a chop to his neck. Yin Zhe’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Gong Yu hadn’t expected Gu Siting to storm in with reinforcements. The bodyguards Gong Yu had brought were no match for Gu Siting’s Hidden Guards. With Gu Siting clearing the way for Ming Yao, she searched from room to room for Zhou Yanyan.

Finally, in one of the rooms on the basement level, they found Zhou Yanyan.

Tearing off the tape from Zhou Yanyan’s mouth and loosening her bonds, she hugged the trembling girl to her chest.

“Yanyan, I’m sorry, I came too late!”

Zhou Yanyan was indeed terrified. She clung to Ming Yao, tears streaming down her face.

Ming Yao comforted her while patting her back, “It’s alright now, it’s alright.”

Gu Siting walked in and said in a deep voice, “You two go ahead, I’ll take care of things here.”

Ming Yao nodded, “Then you be careful too.”

…

Gong Yu mistook the body double for Ming Yao because she had sprayed a drug in her own hair.

After Gong Yu smelled her hair, his consciousness became blurred.

After it was over, he fell asleep holding the substitute in his arms.

The substitute got up from the bed, put on her clothes, and quickly left.

When Gong Yu woke up, an hour had already passed.

He came out of the room and saw Yin Zhe and the bodyguards passed out on the ground, his face turned pale.

“What happened, where is she?”

Gu Siting stepped out from the darkness, his eyes deep and foreboding, exuding a strong and sharp aura.

Seeing Gu Siting, a sinister glint flashed in Gong Yu’s eyes, “Gu Siting, you’ve got some nerve!”

Gu Siting looked straight into Gong Yu’s eyes and spoke coldly, “Gong Yu, you can target me, but you shouldn’t have touched the people by my side!”

Seeing Gu Siting’s grim face, like a provoked beast, Gong Yu actually began to laugh, “You knocked out everyone on the yacht, you must have also gone to the suite, right? Your woman has already been slept by me, what can you possibly do to me?”

At that moment, Gu Siting’s eyes turned a crimson red, his icy demeanor seemed ready to devour Gong Yu to the bone.

The angrier Gu Siting became, the happier Gong Yu was.

Therefore, Gu Siting’s current expression, as if he was ready to tear him apart, greatly satisfied Gong Yu’s sense of achievement.

“Alright then, considering the respect your father had for me, I will leave the people by your side alone from now on.”

After sleeping with Ming Yao, he felt it was just that, not something that truly made him linger or long for more.

He still preferred clean women!

…

Ming Yao took Zhou Yanyan to her own apartment.

After Ming Yao made sure Yanyan was asleep, she called Gu Siting, but no one answered.

Ming Yao was somewhat worried.

He hadn’t impulsively confronted Gong Yu, had he?

No, he probably hadn’t!

Although he had a bit of a temper, he was a calculative and scheming man.

He knew what mattered most.

Ming Yao sat down on the sofa, and the suppressed restlessness in her body started to surge once again.

She had taken an antidote before keeping her appointment.

But the pill that Gong Yu had forced her to swallow was strong, and the antidote seemed unable to fully suppress it.

Ming Yao, holding her forehead, took out her phone and sent a message to Gu Siting.

[Come to my apartment]

After sending the message, she took a cold shower.

But it wasn’t very effective.

She sat back down in the living room and waited until late at night before the man finally arrived.

Hearing the doorbell ring, she walked to the door and opened it.

“Does Zhou Yanyan need any help, should I find her a psychologist?”

Ming Yao didn’t respond to Mr. Gu’s words, she lifted her eyes veiled with a layer of mist, looking towards him.

“Why did it take you so long to come?” Her voice was slightly husky, bewitchingly affecting in the quiet of the deep night.

Gu Siting locked eyes with her, his tall figure suddenly tensing.

He lifted his hand, reaching towards her face.

Scorching hot to the touch.

Ming Yao grasped his hand as it reached for her face, “Gu Siting, let’s go to the car…”

Gu Siting’s handsome face tensed, his dark eyes unreadable as he looked at her, “Did Gong Yu make you take that kind of drug?”

Before the two divorced, she had been drugged once, and he knew exactly how she reacted when under the influence!
