Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 524 - Chapter 524 Chapter 522 He Wants to Start Over with Her

Chapter 524: Chapter 522: He Wants to Start Over with Her Chapter 524: Chapter 522: He Wants to Start Over with Her Little Orange looked toward the man standing by the sofa.

Tall and straight, with a lofty and noble air, he was even more exquisite and handsome than the male models in fashion magazines.

Trashy Dad’s appeal was indeed undeniable; no wonder her mom had been hung up on him for so many years.

However…

Didn’t he already have the Witch Princess? Why had he come to her mom’s apartment?

Uncle Yanyu had left, so what was he doing coming in here?

Little Orange whispered into Ming Yao’s ear, “Mommy, Trashy Dad couldn’t still be in love with you, could he?”

Ming Yao’s lips twitched.

It wasn’t necessarily good for a child to be too precocious, knowing too many things.

Gu Siting looked at Little Orange, who appeared very close to Ming Yao, and spoke with a deep voice, “Are you two close?”

It might have been his imagination, but there seemed to be a hint of Ming Yao in Little Orange’s eyes and brows.

Ming Yao, seeing the suspicion in Gu Siting’s eyes, felt her heart skip a beat. Just as she was about to say something, Little Orange jumped in, “Handsome Uncle, the moment I saw Beautiful Auntie, I liked her a lot and really wanted to introduce her to Uncle Yanyu. But she just told me that she has a boyfriend.”

Ming Yao, “…”

The more this girl explained, the more trouble she caused.

“Boyfriend?” Gu Siting narrowed his deep black eyes, “Not a husband?”

Ming Yao coughed, “It is a husband, she misunderstood.”

Little Orange blinked her big eyes, looking between Ming Yao and Trashy Dad as she seemed to realize something.

It looked like Mommy didn’t want to rekindle things with Trashy Dad.

After all, Trashy Dad already had the Witch Princess!

Little Orange blinked her black eyes and said in a milk-sweet voice, “Handsome Uncle, are you looking for Beautiful Auntie for something? She and I are going to have hot pot. If you stay here, won’t the Witch Princess get angry if she finds out?”

Gu Siting, “…”

How did this little girl know everything?

Gu Siting didn’t answer Little Orange’s question, but instead asked in a low voice, “Can I join you for the hot pot?”

Little Orange had initially wanted to say no to Trashy Dad, but seeing his earnest look and considering that she hadn’t had hot pot with Trashy Dad before, she couldn’t bear to refuse him.

“You have to ask Beautiful Auntie!”

Gu Siting’s dark eyes turned to look intently at Ming Yao.

With a gaze as deep as an abyss, Ming Yao felt an invisible pressure when he looked at her like that.

If she didn’t want to, would he leave obediently?

Clearly, he wouldn’t.

Forget it, after all, it was just a meal of hot pot. Once it was over, what reason would he have not to leave?

Ming Yao got two more sets of bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen.

Little Orange and Ming Yao sat together, with Gu Siting sitting alone on the other side.

Ming Yao kept serving Little Orange, attentively taking care of her with great detail.

In the steamy haze, Ming Yao’s eyes and brows carried a gentle maternal glow.

Gu Siting found his meal somewhat tasteless.

He looked at Little Orange, whose cheeks were reddish and moist from the steaming heat, adorable and charming.

Gu Siting asked in a low voice, “Little girl, where’s your mommy? Hasn’t she come back from her business trip?”

Ming Yao, while helping Little Orange with the food, felt her heart thump.

Little Orange, on the other hand, didn’t seem flustered at all and said in her sweet voice, “Mommy might be back in a few days. I’ve been living quite well at Beautiful Grandma’s lately. Actually, I hope Mommy will come to get me a bit later!”

Gu Siting thought of Song Yulan, who seemed to have been in a much better mood recently with Little Orange’s company.

This girl was truly a bundle of joy.

I’ve heard her dad is a total jerk. I don’t understand how he can just abandon such a cute daughter!

If she were his–

Gu Siting quickly stopped himself from thinking that way.

After finishing the hotpot, Ming Yao cleaned up the coffee table. She took Little Orange out to buy some food.

She didn’t bother with Gu Siting, assuming that he would leave on his own after she and Little Orange had left.

Ming Yao took Little Orange to the supermarket downstairs and then walked around the community with her.

Little Orange was beautiful and lively, which made her very popular with the adults and children alike.

When they returned to the apartment, an hour had passed.

Gu Siting hadn’t left; instead, he was standing on the balcony smoking.

In the midst of the light blue smoke, his entire presence seemed enigmatic.

Ming Yao glanced at him, her delicate eyebrows tightly knitted.

What was he still doing in her apartment?

Little Orange also spotted Gu Siting. She yawned and said in her childish voice, “Beautiful Auntie, I told Uncle Yanyu that I would sleep over tonight, and he can pick me up tomorrow.”

Ming Yao nodded, “Okay, I’ll take you to bathe.”

Ming Yao filled the bathtub with water and, while Little Orange bathed, she went out to the living room balcony.

Looking at the man enveloped in smoke, Ming Yao said coldly, “Mr. President, I’m about to rest with Little Orange. Please leave.”

Gu Siting flicked the cigarette ash from his fingertips, half-closing his dark eyes, which appeared as deep as whirlpools, “You’re lying to me.”

Ming Yao felt tight in her chest.

“What did I lie to you about?”

“You and Si Ye aren’t actually married, are you?”

Ming Yao lowered her fluttering eyelashes, and the red lips below her delicate nose formed a cold, mocking curve, “Even if Si Ye and I aren’t married yet, we have a normal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. You, a married man, coming to my place late at night–is that appropriate?”

Gu Siting pressed his lips together tightly without speaking, his slender fingers holding the cigarette applying a little more pressure.

A shadow seemed to pass over his eyes and brow.

Had she fallen for Si Ye?

For years, he had been manipulating behind the scenes, trying to take control as soon as possible, divorce Dai Na, and then find her to start over.

He knew she might not wait for him, that she might have already started a new life!

The last time he heard she and Si Ye were married, his heart sunk to the bottom of the valley.

After attending the banquet today, he found himself unconsciously giving the driver this address. He sat in the car, watching her apartment for a long time.

He didn’t know what he wanted to do. All he felt was an emptiness in his heart as if he had lost something important.

It wasn’t until Little Orange said she wanted to introduce Gu Yanyu to her as a potential date that he felt like he could breathe again.

It turned out she wasn’t married yet!

Seeing that Gu Siting was silent, just staring at her with deep, dark eyes, Ming Yao felt a tingle on her scalp.

“Mr. President, I am going to bathe with Little Orange now. I hope that when I come out again, you will have left.”

Ming Yao turned and walked away.

From deep in his throat, Gu Siting let out a low chuckle, “It seems you’re quite afraid of me?”

Ming Yao’s pace faltered, and she looked back at him, “You’re imagining things.”

After saying that, she quickly entered the house.

After Little Orange finished bathing, Ming Yao helped her into a pretty nightgown.

“Mommy, if Trashy Dad barges in and sees me in the nightgown you bought, will he suspect I’m your daughter?”

Ming Yao’s mouth twitched, “He won’t come in.”

“Mommy, are you already with Uncle Si Ye, being his girlfriend?”
