Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 485 - Chapter 485 Chapter 483 Lets Break Up

Chapter 485: Chapter 483: Let’s Break Up! Chapter 485: Chapter 483: Let’s Break Up! She knew her own body well.

It couldn’t be that a high fever would cause her to forget everything.

The illness had struck oddly, and she had fallen into a coma without even realizing it.

There must be something she didn’t know.

Yun Zhuo looked at Ming Yao’s reddened eyes and guessed she might have seen the news.

“I’ll call him to come over, and you can talk to him,” he said.

Ming Yao nodded, “Okay, call him.”

Ming Yao returned to her apartment.

Leaning against the doorframe, she felt a sourness in her nose.

After waking up from a sound sleep, she needed Senior Brother to call him so she could see him?

How ironic!

Ming Yao quickly adjusted her emotions. She walked into the dressing room, stood in front of the mirror, and looked at the woman in the reflection. She felt slightly dazed and for a moment felt like a stranger to herself.

Just three days in a coma, and she had lost weight, appearing less spirited.

Compared to the princess of Country Y, she seemed to pale significantly.

Ming Yao sat in front of the vanity and applied a delicate makeup.

With makeup on, her complexion looked much rosier.

She then picked out clothes from the dressing room.

After trying on several skirts, she put them on and took them off again.

In the end, she still chose to wear a comfortable and homely outfit.

Why should she compare herself with that princess from Country Y?

Gu Siting loved her for who she was, didn’t he?

After deciding this, Ming Yao stopped dwelling on it. She wanted to meet him in her most natural and comfortable state.

Ming Yao opened a bottle of red wine and sat in the living room waiting for Gu Siting to arrive.

About half an hour later, the doorbell rang.

Ming Yao stood up and opened the door.

The man she had seen earlier on the big screen was now standing at the door of her apartment.

He wore a white shirt with a blue striped tie, one hand casually in his trouser pocket, his suit jacket draped over his arm.

Beneath his black cropped hair, his features were handsome and marked, exuding a sense of cool intensity and seriousness.

He radiated a chill that seemed to keep people at a thousand miles’ distance, making her feel estranged and distant.

They locked eyes for a few seconds, and after a moment, Ming Yao stepped aside to let him into the house.

Gu Siting walked into the living room, glanced at the red wine on the coffee table, and noticed she had drunk some. He slightly frowned his swordlike brows, “You’ve just been discharged, you shouldn’t drink…”

Before he could finish, the woman’s delicate body embraced him from behind.

Ming Yao stood on tiptoe and rested her small face against his broad shoulders, her voice soft, “You still care about me? I called you, and you didn’t answer; I texted, and you didn’t reply.”

Gu Siting’s large hand in his trouser pocket tightened slightly.

He stiffened, using almost all of his strength to lift his long hand and gently pry the arms wrapped around his waist.

Ming Yao was stunned.

She walked in front of him and looked up at him.

He also lowered his gaze to look at her.

His eyes were dark and profound, like two whirlpools, as if trying to see into the depths of her soul.

Ming Yao met his gaze, and after a long time, she spoke to break the silence:

“What do you mean?”

She could tell that he had not had an easy time these past few days; his handsome contours had thinned, there were slight shadows under his eyes, betraying an inescapable weariness.

Gu Siting’s brows were tightly furrowed, his throat hoarse.

After a while, he uttered five words, “Let’s break up!”

In Li City, she had agreed to the conditions proposed by Senior Brother and had said to him, ‘Let’s get a divorce,’ those five words.

Time had moved on, and now it was he who was proposing a breakup to her.

Indeed, they had not remarried but were merely in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. They could only break up!

Was it because he was to marry the princess of Country Y?

Ming Yao gazed at the man with tense contours, feigning indifference, and her heart clenched uncontrollably.

Her fingertips pinched her palm forcefully, and her long eyelashes trembled violently.

Those five words, like a heavy hammer, struck fiercely at the tip of her heart.

In the living room, due to her silence, there was suddenly a dead-quiet calm.

Ming Yao could clearly hear her own intensified breathing, as well as the beating of her heart.

It felt like a century had passed before she opened her mouth with a hoarse voice, “Weren’t you in a hurry to remarry me? I’ve just woken up from an illness, and now you’re telling me you want to break up?”

Gu Siting’s eyes drooped to cover the emotions within. The light shining from behind him gilded his impenetrable features, rendering his emotions inscrutable.

He avoided her gaze, his features becoming even more indifferent, “The difference in our statuses makes us unsuitable for each other.”

He lifted his eyes to meet hers squarely, “I said that night that I’d go to remarry the next day, but you fell sick. We missed the opportunity and can’t be together anymore.”

Having said that, the air once again fell into silence.

Ming Yao stared at him intently and did not speak for a long time.

She did not sob, did not throw a tantrum, and was not hysterical.

She just looked at him until her eyes began to sour, then she slowly asked, “Is it because I fell ill with a sickness that even Senior Brother could not resolve, and only the Presidential Residence could save me?”

Hearing Ming Yao’s words, Gu Siting’s eyebrows instantly furrowed.

“Senior Brother has already told me the truth.”

Gu Siting’s jawline tensed, and his dark pupils brimmed with incomprehensible complex emotions, “Whether you know or not, it doesn’t matter anymore.”

Ming Yao’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “Do we absolutely have to break up?”

“Yes.”

Ming Yao nodded, “Okay, I agree.”

Hearing her agree so crisply, Gu Siting was slightly taken aback.

Ming Yao noticed his large hand beside his body, the knuckles turning white.

Indeed, the breakup was not his true intention.

Ming Yao stepped forward and took the initiative to grab his large hand, looking up at him with a soft voice, “Is it because they won’t let you be with me? Because of my birth, I’m not worthy of you?”

Gu Siting pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

“I can’t change my lineage, but I don’t wish to be your burden.”

Ming Yao’s beautiful eyes shimmered with a faint mist. She was a strong person, seldom using tears to show her inner fragility.

Her other hand touched his well-defined features, “I’ll just ask you once, do we have to separate, and you must marry the princess of Country Y?”

Many things didn’t need to be explicitly stated; she already understood.

Just as before, when she agreed to the conditions set by Senior Brother to save him.

He faced the same dilemma now.

Choosing between separation from her and her life, he made his choice.

The situation was different this time–his family stood as an obstacle to their relationship.

Ming Yao had always known that love was between two people, but marriage involved two families.

The Presidential Residence did not accept her; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t win their approval.

Gu Siting’s tall figure stepped back several paces. He closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Yes.”

Ming Yao’s heart plummeted.

She watched him, and after an indeterminate time, she suddenly smiled softly, “Look into my eyes and say it again.”
