Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 520 - Chapter 520 Chapter 518 Everything Ended Four Years Ago

Chapter 520: Chapter 518: Everything Ended Four Years Ago Chapter 520: Chapter 518: Everything Ended Four Years Ago Hearing Ming Yao’s words, Gu Siting’s features tensed, a layer of thin frost seemingly covering his profound brows and eyes.

He stared intently at her beautiful eyes, his expression carrying a suffocating oppressiveness.

In his heart, a wave of restless irritability.

This feeling of having his emotions pulled by someone else had not emerged for a long time.

He gazed at her, his eyes as deep as the ocean.

As if trying to see into the depths of her soul.

Uncertain how much time had passed, just as Ming Yao felt at a loss under his gaze, wanting to flee in panic, the man’s deep, magnetic voice sounded, “Congratulations.”

The man expressionlessly withdrew his gaze from her face, he picked up his glass, tilted his head slightly, and drained the liquid inside.

He didn’t look at her again, his aura cold and distant, “After dinner, Yunshen will sell Director Wu’s shares to you.”

Upon hearing these words, Ming Yao let out a long sigh of relief.

It seemed that having heard of her marriage, the man had dispelled the last vestiges of attachment in his heart.

From their two encounters and interactions, she could feel that he seemed to have unresolved feelings for her.

But she could not allow herself to remain entangled with him.

From the moment they broke up four years ago and he married Princess Dai Na, they had been people from two different worlds.

There would be no further entanglement.

Everyone else at the dining table noticed something was amiss between the two, but no one dared to ask more.

Throughout the meal, Ming Yao hardly ate anything.

She was afraid that Gu Siting would change his mind halfway and not allow Fu Yunshen to sell the shares to her.

Fortunately, after the meal, Fu Yunshen called her to another private room, and they signed the contract.

With the share certificate in hand, the heavy stone in Ming Yao’s heart finally settled.

Leaving the golf course, Ming Yao got into her car.

The sky opened up with a torrential rain, and not long after she drove out, her car stalled on an uphill stretch.

With her umbrella propped up, she got out and opened the hood, where it seemed like the engine was smoking.

Ming Yao furrowed her eyebrows.

Ming Yao returned to the car, took out her mobile phone intending to call the dealership, but there was no signal.

As darkness gradually fell, with lightning flashing and thundering, Ming Yao sat in the car rubbing her arms.

The golf course was in the outskirts, and it was not very safe for her to be alone here once it got dark.

Ming Yao got out with her umbrella again, standing by the roadside to see if she could hitch a ride.

After nearly ten minutes, she saw a black sedan approaching.

In the rain and fog, she couldn’t make out the license plate, but she stretched out her arm and waved to the car.

The car quickly approached but showed no signs of slowing down.

Ming Yao’s clothes were soaked by the water splashed from the tires.

Watching the car disappear from sight, Ming Yao cursed under her breath.

Even if they didn’t stop, was there any need to drive so fast and deliberately splash her?

Ming Yao bent down to pat the rainwater off herself, and after a moment, the car that had vanished came speeding back in reverse.

The window rolled down, revealing a chiseled, handsome face before Ming Yao’s eyes.

It was actually Gu Siting!

Hadn’t he left with Jih Feng and Fu Yunshen?

Both of them locked eyes.

His were dark and profound.

Hers shocked and flustered.

After what felt like an eternity, the man’s deep, mellow voice broke the silence, “Get in the car.”

Ming Yao took a step back, “No need, you go ahead!”

She would rather face danger standing here than get in his car.

Seeing Ming Yao act as if he were some terrible beast, Gu Siting’s lips curved into a mockingly chill smirk, “Miss Ming, you don’t have to flatter yourself, I’m only offering you a ride because it’s on my way. I have no other intentions.”

Ming Yao cast her eyes down and hesitated momentarily before approaching his car.

She tried to open the rear door, but after several pulls, it wouldn’t budge.

“I am not your chauffeur.”

“The passenger seat is exclusively for your lady.”

Gu Siting glanced at Ming Yao, seeing her insistence on sitting in the backseat, the mocking smile at the corner of his lips deepened, “Suit yourself.”

He unlocked the car doors.

After Ming Yao got into the car, she plugged in her phone to charge it before calling the 4S shop to request a tow for her car.

Having finished the call, she propped her cheek in her hand and looked out of the car window.

Inside the car, with its excellent sound insulation, the noise of the rain outside was shut off, making it quite peaceful.

Ming Yao felt uneasy.

Gu Siting glanced at the woman in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Her uneasiness, the way she couldn’t find peace, was all captured in his sights.

Nowadays, even an extra second spent with him made her that uncomfortable?

Was she afraid her husband would get jealous?

The image of her sweet and affectionate moments with Si Ye surfaced in Gu Siting’s mind, causing his heart to suddenly seize as if suffocating.

Four years ago, when he had voluntarily let go of her hand, he had already considered the possibility that she might meet a man she fancied.

Now, she had, and she had even married.

He should be wishing her well.

Gu Siting’s low and husky voice sounded, “He… is he good to you?”

Ming Yao was momentarily stunned.

It took her a while to realize that the ‘he’ Gu Siting mentioned was Si Ye.

Ming Yao pursed her lips and replied, “He is very good to me.”

She wasn’t lying; Si Ye was indeed very good to her.

Once, when she was on a business trip, she suffered from appendicitis late at night, with pain like a knife twisting in her stomach. Fortunately, Si Ye showed up in time to take her to the hospital for surgery.

Whenever she needed him, he was always there for her.

Gu Siting kept watching Ming Yao through the rearview mirror, and when she mentioned Si Ye, a soft glow appeared in her beautiful eyes, which made his heart suddenly tighten.

“You and the Princess must also have a good relationship, right?” Ming Yao asked casually.

Gu Siting’s voice was cold and hard, “What do you think?”

“It should be very good.”

Gu Siting pressed his lips tightly together and said no more.

Suddenly, his stomach started to ache.

His brows furrowed tightly, his whole body’s aura dropped to freezing.

Ming Yao pretended not to see the man’s displeased countenance.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

It was a call from Little Orange.

Ming Yao picked up the phone, pressed the answer button, and Little Orange’s soft and sweet voice came through, “Mommy, you’re not really angry and not coming to pick me up, are you?”

“How could I be?”

“You haven’t called me recently, I thought Mommy was angry.”

Listening to her daughter’s soft and mushy voice, Ming Yao’s face showed a smile, with a gentle look in her eyes and eyebrows.

Gu Siting, hearing Ming Yao talking softly on the phone with the person on the other end, saw full affection in her eyes for that person, tightened his grip on the steering wheel slightly.

In his deep, bottomless black eyes, there was a chill that carried no hint of warmth.

Every finger gripping the steering wheel was tense, as rigid as stone.

His breathing unconsciously grew heavier.

So, her relationship with Si Ye had grown to this depth!

Over the years, he had strived to make himself stronger, ascending to the pinnacle of power.

Yet, he had lost the woman he deeply loved in his heart!

Even though she was now in his car, the distance between them was insurmountably vast!

They could never go back to the past again.

Neither he nor she could.

Everything had already ended four years ago!
