Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love

Chapter 117: Chapter 117: He Ignores Her

Gu Siting’s gaze was icy cold as he glanced at Ming Yao.

She seemed to have just finished taking a bath, her long black curly hair still damp, with a touch of makeup on her face and naturally rosy lips. Each movement she made was filled with allure and charm.

She was no fairy sister, but rather a seductress!

Sang Yu, the woman the little boy called Teacher Sang, also noticed Ming Yao.

She had never seen such a beautiful and glamorous woman, not even the biggest stars on TV could compare to her stunning beauty.

Did that woman know Fourth Master?

What was she to him?

Sang Yu couldn’t help but feel nervous and flustered.

With her long eyelashes trembling, she carefully asked Gu Siting, “Fourth Master, do you know that miss?”

Gu Siting’s thin lips coldly spat out three words, “I don’t know her.”

Ming Yao understood the shape of Gu Siting’s lips.

That jerk, actually claiming he didn’t know her in front of the beautiful teacher!

Ming Yao was led to the cafeteria by the auntie.

It happened to be dinnertime, and most of the students had gone home, with only a few boarders remaining at the school.

As soon as Ming Yao entered, she caught the attention of the children.

Having brought nothing to eat, Ming Yao could only smile at them.

“Wow, that sister is even more beautiful than our Teacher Sang!”

“She must be a fairy from heaven!”

Ming Yao quite liked being complimented, so she took out a wad of cash from her wallet and handed it to the auntie, “Auntie, I’m not familiar with this place, take this money and please buy some food and supplies for the children when you can.”

“Miss, you don’t need to give this, Fourth Master Gu has donated this Hope Primary School, and he has allocated funds for the students’ study materials regularly!”

Ming Yao snorted softly, “He is him, I am me, just take it!”

Ming Yao picked up two dishes and was about to find a place to sit when Tyrant Gu and his entourage arrived.

He came with the principal and several teachers, sitting at a corner spot.

The kitchen cooked special dishes for them.

Ming Yao glanced at the dishes on their table and then at the ones on her own plate, suddenly losing her appetite.

After speaking to the auntie, she carried her plate and walked toward the corner table.

A male teacher saw Ming Yao approaching and was so struck that he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

It wasn’t anything improper; he was purely overwhelmed by her beauty.

She was too beautiful!

Too wild!

Too striking!

Ming Yao sat beside Sang Yu, which was also opposite Gu Siting.

Her eyes curved into a smile, radiant and attractive, “Hi, are you all right if I sit here?”

The principal had heard from Assistant Lu the night before that this was Fourth Master Gu’s wife.

He politely replied, “Of course we don’t mind.”

Sang Yu was unaware of Ming Yao’s identity and asked with some confusion, “Miss, may I ask who you are?”

Ming Yao looked over at the man with a stern face opposite her, who hadn’t even glanced at her, her red lips slightly curled, “I am… Mr. Gu knows. Maybe you should ask him?”

“But Fourth Master said he didn’t know you.”

The principal, who was about to reveal Ming Yao’s identity, was baffled.

Fourth Master said he didn’t know this beautiful woman?

But wasn’t she Fourth Master’s wife, as Assistant Lu had said last night?

The principal looked at Gu Siting with confusion, seeing his austere expression and how he hadn’t given the woman a single glance, the principal grew even more perplexed.

There must be some hidden story here, right?

Since Fourth Master himself hasn’t spoken up, it’s probably better for him to keep silent!

Ming Yao tugged at the corner of her mouth, her beautiful eyes seeming to hook onto Gu Siting as she looked at him, her smile cryptic, “If he says he doesn’t know her, then he doesn’t know her—after all, some men are dogs in bed and still dogs when they get out of it!”

Before she could finish her sentence, her lower leg suddenly hurt.

The smile on Ming Yao’s face stiffened a bit.

Damn it, the dog of a man had kicked her hard under the table without any mercy!

Ming Yao looked at him, he was coldly staring back at her, his eyes carrying a silent warning, his whole being emanated an icy chill.

“Miss, are you okay? You don’t look very well,” Sang Yu asked.

Ming Yao looked at Sang Yu, a fair and delicate young girl who spoke softly and gently. Was it possible that this type of girl was the type the dog of a man was interested in?

Ming Yao couldn’t help but remember when she was disguised as a little maid, tender and timid, he seemed to be quite protective of her.

But now that she had returned to her own identity, he didn’t even want to give her another glance!

Clearly, he was prejudiced.

“It’s nothing, just a cramp in my leg.”

Throughout the meal, Gu Siting completely ignored Ming Yao as he discussed the matter of road construction with the principal.

“Fourth Master, the cost of road repairs is too high, we can’t have you spend any more!”

Gu Siting glanced at the rainy and damp weather outside, “The road needs to be repaired so the children can safely get to school. This matter is settled.”

“Fourth Master, I really can’t thank you enough. This drink is to you,” the principal said.

Gu Siting clinked glasses with the principal, tilted his head slightly showing off his smooth jawline, and drank in one gulp.

Sang Yu hastily served Gu Siting some food, “Fourth Master, here are the small river fish you love.”

Seeing this, another female teacher laughed, “Fourth Master, these wild river fish were personally caught by Teacher Sang from the river. When she came back this morning, her hands and feet were nearly frozen stiff.”

Eating her meal unhurriedly, Ming Yao glanced at Gu Siting and then at Sang Yu by her side.@@novelbin@@

To catch little river fish for the man she adored, braving such cold weather to fish them out of the river herself, it was quite touching indeed!

Had this dog of a man forgotten that he had a wife?

Ming Yao couldn’t stand his pretentious appearance and curved her lips into a bad, teasing smile.

Gu Siting was lowering his head to eat when suddenly, his body stiffened.

The hand holding the chopsticks slightly tightened.

His sexy Adam’s apple involuntarily swallowed.

He lifted his dark, deep eyes and looked across at the woman opposite him.

The woman’s foot under the table slowly crawled up his leg.

It crept up his knee, moving upwards slowly.

Noticing him looking over, she wore a lazy and charming smile on her face, batted her pretty eyes at him, looking somewhat innocent and pure.

Just as her foot was about to touch the edge of his thigh, his free hand that wasn’t holding chopsticks grabbed her ankle in a swift motion.

Her ankle was slender and white, her skin smooth like satin.

His fingertips, with a trace of callousness, touched her delicate skin for a moment, sending a tingling sensation through both.

Ming Yao could feel the tensed muscle strength in the man’s legs.

The smile in her eyes deepened, her long eyelashes fell down, casting shadows on her exquisite and lovely face, creating an indescribably charming allure.

Gu Siting’s gaze darkened as he looked at her, his grip on her ankle gradually tightened.

Ming Yao’s other foot also began to crawl towards his thigh.

Gu Siting’s tongue pressed against his molars, he let out a cold snort, and then with a forceful motion—

With a ‘bang’, Ming Yao’s chair flipped backward, and she uncontrollably fell onto the floor.

This sudden incident stunned everyone at the table.
