Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 531 - Chapter 531 Chapter 529 Sacrificing Oneself for Protection

Chapter 531: Chapter 529: Sacrificing Oneself for Protection Chapter 531: Chapter 529: Sacrificing Oneself for Protection Princess Dai Na felt a chill all over her body.

She had never met a man so cunning and cold-blooded.

From the moment she married into the Presidential Residence, he might have already dug a hole for her.

Watching Dai Na’s face turning a mix of blue and purple, Gu Siting stood up, took the pen from the lawyer, and flamboyantly signed his name.

“Your Highness, please sign, not releasing the video is the last bit of dignity I’m leaving you with.”

Gu Siting stood up, his tall and cold figure casting a dark shadow over Dai Na, dangerous and very oppressive, “You’d better not play any tricks, don’t touch the people around me, otherwise, you will become a woman scorned by thousands!”

Dai Na’s body swayed unsteadily.

Her guess was right, it was indeed all for Ming Yao.

Watching the man walk upstairs after signing, Dai Na screamed hysterically, “If Ming Yao hadn’t come back, you wouldn’t have drawn a clear line with me so quickly, would you?”

The man didn’t stop his steps.

“Haha, do you think that without me, Ming Yao could marry into the Presidential Residence?”

“So many years have passed, there must be another man by Ming Yao’s side by now, right? Even if you are the President, if she has a man she loves, she won’t spare you a second glance!”

Gu Siting’s tall figure paused slightly.

Clearly, Dai Na’s words had hit a deep wound in his heart.

……

The news of Gu Siting’s divorce from Dai Na had not been made public, and Ming Yao did not know that Gu Siting was single again.

Last time Dai Na sent people to kidnap Little Orange, it had caused Ming Yao to have a great deal of dissatisfaction and objection towards Gu Siting.

She was not afraid of any danger, nor did she fear anything.

But not her children.

She couldn’t let them suffer any harm.

Ming Yao had already asked Jing Hang to come to the capital and protect Little Orange around the clock.

As soon as she was done with her affairs here, she would take Little Orange back to the Tang Sect with her.

That day, Ming Yao came out of the company and reached the basement. Just as she was about to open the car door, someone on a motorcycle suddenly charged toward her.

The speed was extremely fast.

There was another person sitting behind on the motorcycle, holding a glass container.

Ming Yao heard the sound of the motorcycle and turned her head to look.

The person holding the glass container suddenly flung his hand, splashing liquid from the container towards her.

It was too late for Ming Yao to dodge.

She smelled a pungent odor of sulfuric acid at the tip of her nose.

Just at the critical moment, suddenly someone threw themselves at Ming Yao.

That person used their own body to shield Ming Yao from the sulfuric acid that was thrown at her.

Ming Yao saw the man standing in front of her, and her mind went almost blank.

Before she could react, the man protecting her stepped forward and pulled the acid-thrower off the motorcycle with force.

His large hand gripped the man’s neck, “Speak, who sent you?”

The man’s face turned blue and purple as he stammered, “Prin… Princess Dai Na…”

Ming Yao’s eyes turned icy cold, about to say something, when she suddenly saw the man pull out a gun. She immediately shouted, “Si Ye, watch out!”

Si Ye quickly kicked the man away.

The man did not linger in combat. Climbing back on the motorcycle, he fled in haste.

Ming Yao didn’t chase after him; instead, she rushed to Si Ye’s side. His right shoulder was already corroded by the sulfuric acid, blood and flesh a blur.

The palm-sized burn looked shockingly gruesome.

Ming Yao’s long eyelashes trembled violently as she immediately dialed the emergency number.

“Si Ye, the ambulance will arrive shortly, I’ll perform first aid for you in the meantime.”

Ming Yao took the medical kit out of the car.

Si Ye felt a burning pain on his shoulder like fire, but he had been enduring it without making a sound.

As Ming Yao treated his wound, looking at the blurry mess of blood and flesh there, her heart tightened.

If that sulfuric acid had splashed onto her face, her face would now resemble Si Ye’s shoulder.

Dai Na–

It was her again!

Not content with kidnapping her Little Orange, she had now turned her attention to her!

And all of this was related to Gu Siting.

She had returned to the capital city not wanting to get entangled with him again, but he kept seeking her out, dragging both her and Little Orange into this whirlpool!

Never had Ming Yao felt such hatred for that man!

Si Ye looked up and saw the redness in Ming Yao’s eyes and the tears she was holding back, his brows furrowed tightly, and he said in a deep voice, “Little Yao, I’m alright, don’t cry.”

How could it be alright?

The burning pain from sulfuric acid is unbearable for the average person.

Even if the wound heals later, it will leave an ugly scar.

“Why are you so foolish, who asked you to block it for me?”

Si Ye’s eyes looked deeply into Ming Yao’s eyes, “If I hadn’t blocked it, your face might have been ruined.”

“Si Ye, I owe you more and more.”

Si Ye looked into Ming Yao’s eyes filled with guilt, and he soothed her, “Little Yao, it’s been four years. If you can let go of the past, could you give me a chance? I will protect you and take care of you in the future, and I’ll treat the twins just like my own children.”

“I wasn’t part of your past, but I want to be part of your present and future, and I want to give you happiness.”

Such words, Ming Yao had also heard them from Gu Siting before.

That marriage had left her covered in wounds, draining all she had.

It took her a long time to recover!

She didn’t dare to give her heart to any man again.

She felt that having a set of twins was enough for the rest of her life!

She lowered her eyes to the man in front her, who was handsome and scholarly with a graceful demeanor, a world-renowned psychologist, the object of countless women’s affections.

He was gentlemanly, polite, wise, and funny, understanding the boundaries between men and women, never forcing her to do anything unwillingly.

In times of danger, he could appear in time, and most importantly, the twins both liked him a lot.

However, she felt no romantic emotions for him, and maybe her heart had already been sealed when she broke up with Gu Siting four years ago.

For Si Ye, she felt touched, warm, and guilty, but she did not have the fluttering of heart that comes from romantic love.

“Little Yao, Princess Dai Na has repeatedly done things to harm you and Little Orange. Have you ever thought that it might be because she feels a great threat from you, making her feel insecure?”

“If you had a boyfriend and started a new relationship, perhaps making the President give up completely, maybe you wouldn’t be involved in this dangerous whirlpool anymore!”

Si Ye’s words made Ming Yao’s heart show signs of being moved.

He was right, Gu Siting’s entanglement might have made Dai Na realize it, triggering her insecurity, which is why she performed those crazy acts!

But she didn’t have romantic feelings for Si Ye, would accepting him be unfair to him?

As if seeing through Ming Yao’s thoughts, Si Ye’s gaze softened as he looked into her eyes, “Little Yao, I won’t force you, but I also want you to take a step forward and look ahead. Let’s try dating for three months. If you think I’m not too bad, then we can continue; if you find you can’t come to like me, then we can part ways. How about that?”
