Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 460 - Chapter 460 Chapter 457 An Unexpected Person

Chapter 460: Chapter 457: An Unexpected Person Chapter 460: Chapter 457: An Unexpected Person Gu Siting saw Yanxi suddenly burst in, his peach blossom eyes bloodshot and filled with maliciousness. His eyebrows furrowed tightly, and his voice grew chill as he spoke, “Yanxi, what are you doing?”

Yanxi didn’t respond to Gu Siting. He strode in, heading straight for Ming Yao, raising his hand, intending to grab her by the throat.

Gu Siting reacted extremely fast, pulling Ming Yao behind him.

His tall and austere figure shielded her in front of him.

“Yanxi, Ming Yao is my woman. Try touching a single finger of hers and see what happens?”

Yanxi’s handsome face was so dark with anger it seemed frost could scrape off it. He glared at Gu Siting fiercely. “Do you know what she did last night? She lured Sister Shi Ying to the outskirts and released venomous snakes, trying to kill Sister Shi Ying!”

“You’re so blinded by Ming Yao that you’ve lost all sense of judgement. You have no idea how venomous her heart really is!”

Gu Siting clenched his jaw tightly. “Yanxi, the Shi Ying you knew is no longer the same person. The one who has been bewitched here is you; you are the one who needs to wake up!”

Yanxi let out a cold laugh, “After Sister Ying was bitten by a venomous snake last night, she’s still in a coma. She is the one who saved your life, and yet you could be so indifferent and heartless. Gu Siting, I’ve really misjudged you!”

Yanxi pointed at Ming Yao behind Gu Siting. “Hand her over!”

Gu Siting’s eyes were sharp and piercing. “Yanxi, if you dare to lay a finger on Ming Yao, from this day on, we shall be enemies!”

Yanxi’s body stiffened violently.

He stared at Gu Siting for a few seconds, then stepped back several paces.

“Fine, fine, fine!” he said three times in succession. “Since you insist on protecting this woman with a viper’s heart, from now on, we shall no longer be brothers!”

“This is the last time. If Ming Yao dares to harm Sister Ying again, I will not spare her!”

Yanxi left with a body full of malevolence, slamming the door behind him.

Gu Siting turned to look at Ming Yao, who was frowning deeply, and put his large hand on her shoulder. “Did that scare you?”

Ming Yao shook her head. “I’m not so easily frightened. I just feel chilled to the bone for Wanwan.”

Gu Siting pulled Ming Yao into his embrace, lightly patting her back. “It’s been almost two months now; Xia Yiwan is probably no longer in this world. You need to learn to let go.”

Ming Yao’s eyes turned red.

How could she let go?

Wanwan had been harmed by someone, the culprit was still at large, and she was being fiercely protected by Wanwan’s own husband.

How could she not be upset, how could she not hate?

Gu Siting comforted Ming Yao for a while until her emotions gradually improved.

“Let’s go out for dinner tonight. There’s a good private kitchen that opened recently in West City.”

Ming Yao was not in the mood.

Gu Siting squeezed her hand. “Or shall we go back to Bluewater Bay, and I’ll cook for you personally?”

Ming Yao looked at Gu Siting with a hint of amusement. “Fried eggs with rice?”

Gu Siting cleared his throat. “I learned a few dishes from Aunt Zhong recently.”

The thought of the ST CEO cooking for her personally seemed far more appealing to Ming Yao than any private kitchen restaurant out there.

Gu Siting drove Ming Yao back to Bluewater Bay.

Halfway through the journey, the car suddenly screeched to a halt.

Ming Yao lurched forward but was saved by her seatbelt; otherwise, she might have hit her head against the car window.

Before she could comprehend what had happened, the man beside her pushed open the car door and got out.

Ming Yao saw the man chasing after a figure on the road.

He slapped the figure’s shoulder, and when the person turned around, he hesitated for a moment and then, after a quick apology, returned to the car.

Seeing the cold and sharp profile of the man, Ming Yao furrowed her brow and asked, “What’s wrong? Who did you just see?”

Gu Siting pressed his long finger against his temple. “That woman.”

His body tensed up, his voice hoarse, revealing his deep wariness of that woman.

Ming Yao felt the unease in his heart and quickly grasped his chilling palm, “Which woman?”

“The nanny.”

The nanny who had abused him when he was a child?

“Didn’t she become a vegetable?”

Gu Siting’s voice was hoarse as he hummed a response and forcefully closed his eyes, “I was mistaken.”

“Even if that nanny woke up, you now have the power to protect yourself, she’s no match for you.” Ming Yao held tightly onto the man’s large palm, “Besides, you have me.”

Gu Siting’s tense profile gave a slight nod.

Seeing his unstable emotions, Ming Yao swapped places with him, she drove while he sat in the passenger seat.

On the return trip, Gu Siting’s expression was stern, and he said no more words.

Ming Yao knew well that the nanny was a shadow from his childhood, a fear that stemmed from deep within his soul!

As the car approached Bluewater Bay, Ming Yao reminded the man lost in his emotions, “Siting, go into the house first!”

Gu Siting nodded, pushed open the car door, and got out.

Just as he was about to enter the villa with Ming Yao, suddenly, a hoarse and aged voice came, “Xiaoting.”

Upon hearing that voice, Gu Siting’s tall frame stiffened abruptly.

His determined jawline tensed, his black pupils shrank dramatically, and his narrow eyes suddenly turned blood red.

Ming Yao saw his thin lips turn pale from being pressed too tightly.

He stood frozen, as if under a Binding Spell.

Ming Yao turned around to see a figure with a cane slowly emerging from the shadows.

The woman appeared to be in her forties or fifties but was extremely thin, almost as if she would fall at the slightest breeze.

She looked at Gu Siting, the corners of her mouth twisted into an ambiguous smile.

Ming Yao had never seen the nanny who used to take care of Gu Siting, but given Gu Siting’s current reaction, the slowly approaching woman must be that nanny.

Gu Siting stood stiff and did not turn around.

Ming Yao subconsciously held his hand; his hand was ice cold.

“Gu Siting, it’s okay, you’ve grown up now, nobody can hurt you.”

Thinking of his past, Ming Yao looked at the woman with a gaze both icy and cold.

This vile woman, she actually dared to show up in front of Gu Siting?

“Xiaoting, don’t you recognize me? I’m Aunt Mei!”

Ming Yao let go of Gu Siting’s hand, stepped in front of him, and blocked the nanny’s view of him.

“I don’t care who you are. You are not welcome here, leave immediately if you have any sense!”

Aunt Mei looked at Ming Yao, her muddled gaze sizing her up from head to toe.

“I mean no harm, I’ve come to give Xiaoting a few photos…” Aunt Mei took out several old photographs, tremblingly handing them over, “Xiaoting, the photos you once wanted to destroy, I’ve brought them for you.”

Ming Yao was about to take them when Gu Siting suddenly reached out and snatched the photos.

Glancing at the photos, his knuckles turned white immediately.

His handsome and sharp features suddenly became frosted over, dripping with gloom.

His other large hand grabbed Aunt Mei’s slender neck, his voice icy cold, “You’re courting death!”

Just as Gu Siting’s fingers were about to tighten, the gaunt Aunt Mei suddenly fell to the ground.

At that moment, a dark-colored business car drove up, and a group of reporters rushed out.
