Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 483 - Chapter 483 Chapter 481 Let Go

Chapter 483: Chapter 481: Let Go Chapter 483: Chapter 481: Let Go Since Gu Siting rejected his proposal, Gong Xiao had people investigate what had happened between Gu Siting and Ming Yao.

Gu Siting was infatuated and obsessed with Ming Yao to the extreme!

He did not want to become the President; all he wanted was for Ming Yao.

A woman having such an influence on him was incredibly dangerous.

If Ming Yao were ever manipulated by others, she could easily become a sharp sword that wounds him.

Moreover, Ming Yao’s status absolutely precluded her from marrying into the Gong Family.

Even if he were lenient now and let them be together, once Ming Yao learned about past events, she wouldn’t stay with Gu Siting.

They were bound to part ways sooner or later!

Now even the heavens seemed to be on his side, allowing Ming Yao to be bitten by the Blood Fever Bug.

Any compassion in Gong Xiao’s heart had completely dissipated.

His gaze deep and somber, he said, “Your cousin indeed was bitten by the Blood Fever Bug. She was on the brink of death, barely saved in time. It was the Royal Family of Country Y that provided the Antidote Serum. Later, to prevent such an incident from recurring, the medical research lab of the Presidential Residence developed a Blood Fever Bug Antidote Serum.”

Gu Siting clenched his fists tightly, his voice hoarse as he said, “Please, help Ming Yao.”

He was not a man to bend easily, preferring to bleed rather than beg for favors.

But now, he was pleading with Gong Xiao in a humble voice, asking him to save Ming Yao.

Ming Yao was bitten by the Blood Fever Bug while saving his men and the villagers of the Desert Town.

Without Ming Yao, many would have died!

This time, his successful return to the capital city and the quelling of the turmoil at the Presidential Residence were greatly due to Ming Yao’s efforts.

Gu Siting hoped that Gong Xiao would make an exception.

Gong Xiao looked at Gu Siting, his eyes dark as he said, “I can agree to save her, but you know my condition.”

Gu Siting’s features tensed suddenly, “Marrying that princess is worse than killing me outright!”

Look, for the sake of Ming Yao, he would rather die!

The influence Ming Yao had on him was indeed too profound!

The Person in Charge of Country C cannot be someone who is solely fixated on personal affections.

Gong Xiao waved his hand dismissively, “Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to discuss. You may leave!”

Gu Siting’s tall frame turned to stone.

He gritted his teeth, turned around, and left with heavy steps.

Upon leaving the Presidential Residence, he got into his car.

He called Yun Zhuo, “As long as it can save Ming Yao, I am willing to give you all my assets.”

Yun Zhuo’s voice was equally heavy, “If it were possible, I’d rather that I was the one bitten! Right now, she can last at most three days. Do you think I can watch her leave without feeling anguish?”

Gu Siting drove back to the hospital.

Entering the intensive care unit, he tightly grasped Ming Yao’s hand.

His narrow, black eyes began to fill with a layer of mist.

“Yaoyao, when your Senior Brother forced you to leave me back then, were you also in such agony?”

He buried his handsome face in the palm of her hand, and his narrow eyes turned blood red.

“You have sacrificed so much for me; I truly wish to give you a home.”

“But every time when happiness is within our reach, an accident happens!”

“What am I to do?”

Yun Zhuo came to visit Ming Yao, and as he stood in front of the glass window of the intensive care unit, he saw Gu Siting inside. His steps to enter hesitated slightly.

Although he hadn’t known Gu Siting for long, Yun Zhuo had always seen him as cold and arrogant, rarely witnessing him so helpless and afraid.

Gu Siting buried his face in Ming Yao’s hand, his body trembling slightly.

Because he didn’t want to lose Xiao Yao, that must be why he was so agonized, so helpless!

After a long while, Gu Siting finally came out of the intensive care unit.

He looked at Yun Zhuo with a somber face and said in a husky voice, “Ming Yao and I are probably destined to be apart.”

Hearing Gu Siting speak like this, Yun Zhuo frowned.

“I’ve asked around; Y country should have the Antidote Serum that cures the Blood Fever Bug.”

Gu Siting pressed his thin lips tightly together, “I know, the Presidential Residence has it too, but the condition they set for releasing it is that I enter into a marriage alliance with the princess of Y country.”

A look of surprise flashed through Yun Zhuo’s clear eyes, “The Presidential Residence has laid out conditions for you?”

Gu Siting’s face was grave as he hummed in affirmation.

He glanced through the glass window at the unconscious Ming Yao lying on the hospital bed.

His heart clenched with a suffocating pain.

She was still so young, at the age when she was like a blooming flower.

He couldn’t possibly watch her die before his eyes.

Over the past few days, he had thought a lot.

To have loved her deeply and passionately was already enough!

If possible, he would rather it be him who lay unconscious.

As long as she could be safe and sound.

He knew in his heart that even if she had not been bitten by the Blood Fever Bug, the Presidential Residence would continue to pull strings to separate them, subsequently harming their relationship.

He wasn’t powerful enough yet to stand against the Presidential Residence.

Rather than let her suffer with him, with her life in jeopardy, it would be better to just let go!

“In the future, take good care of her. If you two rekindle your old flame, I will bless you…” Gu Siting said with a pained expression.

Yun Zhuo looked at Gu Siting’s bloodshot eyes, already aware of his decision.

Senior Brother patted Gu Siting’s shoulder, “When she wakes up, I will tell her the truth.”

Gu Siting shook his head, “There’s no need to tell her, she will feel self-reproach and guilt!”

Yun Zhuo watched Gu Siting’s retreating figure and felt an extraordinary weight inside him.

In Gu Siting and Xiao Yao, he had witnessed a love that was indescribably noble.

…

Gong Xiao wasn’t surprised that Gu Siting came to find him again.

If he truly loved Ming Yao, he wouldn’t watch her die.

Gu Siting had already gone without sleep for two consecutive nights, and his narrow eyes were red, “The conditions.”

Gong Xiao nodded, “First, marry Princess Dai Na. Second, you can no longer have an ambiguous relationship with Ming Yao. If you break it, break it cleanly!”

Gu Siting’s handsome features tensed, and his thin lips curled into a faint, cold arc, “Do you think that with her temperament, knowing that I am betrothed to another woman, she would continue to have an unclear relationship with me?”

Her nature was so strong, so assertive, that knowing he was about to marry another woman, she would break things off with him completely without him needing to say anything!

“If you behave well, I will gradually give you power!”

……

When Gu Siting left the Presidential Residence, his heart felt hollow.

Deep inside, something of utmost importance seemed to have been lost forever.

He drove the car to the hospital entrance and took a cigarette from the pack, smoking one after another.

He didn’t know how long it had been when his car window was knocked on.

The hospital director stood by the window and spoke cautiously to Gu Siting, who seemed to have become much thinner in just a few days, “Fourth Master, good news, the Presidential Residence has sent a doctor over. They’ve administered the Antidote Serum to Miss Ming, and her fever has gone down, all her vitals are approaching normal!”

Gu Siting nodded, “I know, tell the nurse to take good care of her.”
