Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 515 - Chapter 515 Chapter 513 Rivals Meet

Chapter 515: Chapter 513: Rivals Meet Chapter 515: Chapter 513: Rivals Meet Ming Yao was actually indirectly asking Aunt Zhong if Little Orange had been to the Presidential Residence.

From Aunt Zhong’s answers, Ming Yao could be sure of two things.

First, Little Orange wasn’t at the Presidential Residence.

Second, Dai Na wasn’t pregnant, which, on another level, meant that Gu Siting and Dai Na had shared a bed, but Dai Na wasn’t pregnant for the time being.

Ming Yao’s heart tightened uncontrollably and felt heavy.

After the discomfort subsided, she found herself feeling inexplicably silly.

They were a legitimate couple. Wasn’t it perfectly normal for them to share a bed?

What was she still hoping for?

Aren’t men always able to clearly separate sex from love?

However, thinking of the man upstairs and his previous actions towards her, Ming Yao felt an inexplicable chill!

Now that he was the President of a country, couldn’t he pay attention to his behavior?

Ming Yao’s hands hanging by her sides tightened into fists, and she gritted her teeth a bit.

Seeing Ming Yao’s complexion looking a bit off, Aunt Zhong consoled her, “Yaoyao, you are so wonderful, you will definitely meet a man who is better than Fourth Master in the future!”

Ming Yao smiled without saying a word.

“Speaking of children, at the princess’s birthday party the other day, I did see a delicate and adorable little girl. Strangely, Little Snowball seemed to really like her too.”

Little Snowball’s temperament was still the same as before; it wouldn’t let unfamiliar people hold it.

Only after Aunt Zhong had been feeding it for so many years would it let her hold it for a moment.

Ming Yao’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

A delicate and adorable little girl?

Was she talking about Little Orange?

Little Snowball liked Little Orange too?

“Where is that little girl now?” Ming Yao stroked Little Snowball’s head in her arms, “A little girl who can make Little Snowball like her must be really adorable, right?”

“Yes, extremely pretty and cute. I heard she is Young Master Gu’s daughter.”

Ming Yao frowned, “Young Master Gu?”

“Master Yanyu.”

Aunt Zhong hadn’t had a very good impression of Gu Yanyu before, but since he had helped Fourth Master bring down Gong Aotian, she had a change of heart about him.

Gu Yanyu wasn’t a bad person by nature; it was Song Yuzhi who had filled his head with many bad ideas.

After reflecting, he had reformed and started anew.

A throb went through Ming Yao’s brow.

How did Little Orange get involved with Gu Yanyu?

Gu Yanyu was a man who seemed both righteous and cunning; Ming Yao didn’t have a very good impression of him.

Seeing her reaction to the mention of Gu Yanyu, Aunt Zhong asked with concern, “Yaoyao, what’s wrong?”

“I’m fine.”

Ming Yao chatted with Aunt Zhong for a while and then prepared to leave.

Just as she reached the main entrance, a luxury car pulled up.

A uniformed driver got out and opened the rear door.

A graceful figure in an Imperial Court suit stepped down from the car.

Dai Na was back.

Ming Yao immediately moved aside, slightly lowered her head, and tried to minimize her presence.

But some people, even if they want to keep a low profile, simply can’t.

Indeed, her looks, her figure, her aura, all were too striking.

As Dai Na passed by Ming Yao, she stopped.

She looked up at Ming Yao.

“You, lift up your head.”

Fearing that Dai Na would see Ming Yao as a rival in love, Aunt Zhong hurriedly explained, “Princess, she is a designer, here to take the President’s measurements.”

Dai Na knew Aunt Zhong was Gu Siting’s faithful servant and held a higher status in the Presidential Residence than ordinary servants.

Dai Na got married into the Presidential Residence, and once tried to replace Aunt Zhong with her own person, Gu Siting was furious when he found out.

Aunt Zhong usually only served Gu Siting and didn’t show much respect towards her.

But now, she was hurriedly speaking up for a designer.

As Dai Na looked at Ming Yao, her eyes took her in with greater scrutiny.

A red chiffon blouse paired with a white A-line skirt, the hem tucked into the skirt, revealing an incredibly slender waist that seemed it couldn’t be grasped fully with one hand.

Her legs, clad in stiletto heels, were long and fair, and her skin shone brilliantly against the red and white, radiant and resplendent, adding to the strong visual impact of her stunning beauty.

This woman was more beautiful than any high-ranking lady she had met in the capital; her delicate melon-seed face was adorned with exquisitely beautiful features, and her every gesture seemed effortlessly alluring, easily capturing people’s hearts.

Even as a woman, she was dazzled by her beauty, let alone men, right?

“Which design company are you from?”

Dai Na saw the studio badge on Ming Yao’s chest, picked it up and glanced at it, “Autumn Water Studio?”

She had heard of the brand Autumn Water; it had been doing well in recent years and had even entered the international market.

When Dai Na asked, Ming Yao responded with neither inferiority nor arrogance, nodding her head, “Yes.”

“I just so happen to want to order a few haute couture gowns; are you Starburst from Autumn Water Studio?”

Ming Yao nodded.

Only after Ming Yao publicly revealed her identity as Starburst was Autumn Water Studio able to quickly enter the international market.

“Seeing is believing; Starburst does have an aura, no wonder she can design so many high-quality dresses.”

Dai Na brought Ming Yao to the drawing room and explained what she wanted for her haute couture gowns.

Ming Yao recorded everything.

She showed her professional level and started taking Dai Na’s measurements.

While measuring her shoulders, she suddenly noticed a faint red mark beneath her collarbone.

If she wasn’t mistaken, it looked like a hickey.

Dai Na saw Ming Yao’s gaze and pulled up her collar a bit.

“I’m sorry for making you laugh, the President didn’t consider the implications during our intimate moments.”

Upon hearing Dai Na’s words, Ming Yao felt as if a bee had gently stung her heart. At first, there was only a slight pain, but gradually, the pain spread, seeping through her limbs.

Ming Yao slightly curled the corners of her lips, “The Princess and Mr. President are truly sweet and affectionate.”

Dai Na flicked her long hair at her cheek, “It’s okay, I guess!”

Ming Yao appeared normal, and Dai Na couldn’t read anything from her face.

Dai Na didn’t suspect anything further.

Although this woman was beautiful, she didn’t seem to be one of those vixens aiming for a higher position.

She must have come today for normal work, right?

Thinking so, Dai Na didn’t make things difficult for Ming Yao anymore and let her leave after finishing the measurements.

……

Ming Yao walked out of the Presidential Residence, standing at the entrance, waiting for the head of the design department to come to pick her up.

Her phone rang.

Ming Yao took it out, saw the caller ID, and quickly pressed the answer button.

“Baby, where are you?”

Little Orange was the caller.

After turning on her watch, Little Orange received a call from Xiao Yiyi, who scolded her and mentioned that Mommy had come to look for her.

Frightened, Little Orange immediately called her mommy.

“Mommy, have you arrived at the capital?”

Listening to her daughter’s soft, sweet voice, Ming Yao’s heart softened.

The little girl knew what her weakness was; whenever she acted spoiled and dropped ‘golden beans,’ Ming Yao would give in to her on anything.

No doubt she used these two tricks as a shield when letting Xiao Yiyi cover for her.

“Mommy, I’m at Uncle Yanyu’s house, you know, there’s Beautiful Grandma and other kind ladies here~”

They were so nice to her that she almost forgot why she had come to the capital in the first place.
