Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love

Chapter 121: Chapter 121: She Suddenly Became Arrogant and Left Him on Her Own

Gu Siting looked at the several banknotes Ming Yao handed over, then glanced at her lazy and indifferent eyes and brows, and licked his back molar with the tip of his tongue.

After extreme anger, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Looking at her through the rearview mirror, his gaze was dark and deep, with an oppressive air.

Ming Yao flicked her long hair beside her cheek, with a smile that was increasingly radiant and beautiful, “Mr. Gu, did you not understand what I said? Or, do you simply not want to let me leave?”

Upon hearing her call him Mr. Gu with such detachment, Gu Siting’s lips curved with a smile that was both obscure and imbued with a cold, icy chill.

There was silence in the car for about three or four seconds, and then the man’s deep, indifferent voice slowly filled the luxury cabin, “Ming Yao, break it off with that man with the surname Jing, return to the Imperial Garden and be a good Mrs. Gu, and I will pretend the deception you committed never happened!”

That was the biggest concession he could make.

In the past, those who had deceived and used him had met with very miserable fates!

Having been deceived by the person he most trusted as a child, to the point where he almost lost his life, he despised those who deceived and used him!

For Ming Yao, he had already shown extraordinary grace.

Recalling their time together recently, a certain emotion in his heart had quietly changed, although he had not yet noticed it himself.

Ming Yao looked at the man’s cold, heroic features and curled her red lips upward, “We’re just a sham couple. There’s no need to interfere in each other’s private lives!”

Her implication was clear— he wasn’t worthy enough for her to break it off with Jing Hang.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly fell to an all-time low.

Lu Zhou looked out the car window, trying to minimize his presence as much as possible.

Wife, Fourth Master has already compromised, can’t you refrain from angering him?

As if unaware of the chilling cold emanating from the man, Ming Yao said with a lazy smile, “However, if Mr. Gu is willing to beg me to stay and be your wife, I might consider it.”

Emma, now that she had the upper hand, her words were bolder!

The feeling was too good.

At least, she wouldn’t have to speak to Tyrant Gu from a position of reduced stature!

The little maid who had been oppressed and enslaved was starting to assert herself!

Gu Siting stared at Ming Yao for a few seconds, his pitch-black pupils as deep as the vast ocean, his voice as cold as bone-chilling frost, “Ming Yao, don’t think I care for you that much. If you want to see that man, then never appear before me again!”

What he meant was, she should not think he would be her sleep aid anymore!

Ming Yao, looking at the cold, heartless man, suddenly felt that she had failed in some way.

She had originally thought that once he knew about her identity as a little maid, he might have some sympathy and favorable feelings towards her.

But he was still so cold-blooded and fickle!

His words were always harsh, something difficult for anyone to tolerate, weren’t they?

Ming Yao withdrew her gaze from the man’s razor-sharp features, the corners of her lips turning up in a smile, “Then please, Mr. Gu, pull over to the side of the road.”

Although Ming Yao was somewhat indolent, she was not willing to take this kind of treatment from anyone.

During their time together, she constantly restrained her own nature, doing her best to please and accommodate him.

But she could get tired, couldn’t she?

As soon as Ming Yao spoke, the atmosphere in the car reached a taut breaking point.

Lu Zhou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, wishing he could jump out of the car first.

Gu Siting didn’t say another word, his jaw tensed, his features became sharper, and his entire demeanor more arrogantly and icily aloof.

The atmosphere in the car became so oppressive it was hard to breathe.

His fingers, with their distinctive knuckles, suddenly slammed the steering wheel, and the SUV screeched to a stop at the side of the road, “Get out, now!”

It was like the restrained roar of an enraged lion, deep and rich, shaking one to the core.

Ming Yao opened the car door, took her luggage from the back, and slammed the door shut with force.

She would leave then.

She had dignity!

Almost the moment she slammed the back door, the car sped away.

Exhaust fumes sprayed all over her.

Ming Yao turned away huffily, heading in the opposite direction.

Gu Siting, looking through the rearview mirror, caught a glimpse of the woman. Seeing that she had not the slightest bit of reluctance, turned and left, his pupils constricted while his gaze turned dark and terrifying.

Lu Zhou, with cold sweat on his forehead, had rarely seen such a frightening side to Fourth Master.

The influence Mrs. Gu wielded over Fourth Master was indeed growing stronger!

Lu Zhou wrapped his arms around himself in his suit jacket and hesitantly spoke up, “Fourth Master, perhaps you’ve misunderstood Mrs. Gu and Mr. Jing’s relationship. If there were anything between them, Mr. Jing wouldn’t have sent Mrs. Gu up the mountain to find you!”

Gu Siting coldly curled his lips.

Sending her over was merely because he was her tool for aiding sleep!@@novelbin@@

Suddenly so defiant, could it be that she had found another way to cure her insomnia?

Suddenly feeling a tightness in his chest, he thought about how that woman would no longer feign weakness or put on a pitiful act in front of him. He felt somewhat lost, his heart felt empty, as if he had lost something.

He did not like the feeling of being constrained, of being tugged at emotionally.

His eyes darkened, he said coldly, “Don’t ever mention her in front of me again!”

Perhaps, he had just gotten used to her presence over this period of time.

She really wasn’t anything special to him!

…

Ming Yao took a taxi to the airport.

She was filled with excitement, anticipation, and exhilaration.

The insomnia that had troubled her for many years finally had a cure!

She was so eager to become a normal sleeping person!

Soon, Ming Yao met up with Jing Hang at the airport.

The two, both in good spirits, high-fived each other, and then took a car to Ming Yao’s small courtyard in the suburbs.

As soon as they arrived at the house, Ming Yao asked eagerly, “Quick, bring out the Secret Manual for me to see.”

“Senior sister, I can’t bring the Secret Manual, but I did bring the prescription to treat your insomnia.”

Jing Hang took out a piece of paper, his handwritten copy of the prescription from the Secret Manual.

To treat Ming Yao’s severe insomnia, the prescription required twelve expensive and rare medicinal ingredients.

Although they were hard to find, they could be gathered if one made the effort.

Ming Yao breathed a sigh of relief, “Junior brother, you’ve worked hard.”

“Senior sister, once we gather these twelve medicinal ingredients, we still need an Elixir Primer…”

In traditional medicine, an Elixir Primer is essential!

Ming Yao nodded, “What’s the Elixir Primer?”

“A drop of heart blood from a person with P-type blood.”

Upon hearing this, Ming Yao felt a tingling on her scalp.

One should know that P-type blood is the typical ‘Diamond-level Panda Blood,’ extremely rare worldwide, harder to find even than a Hundred-Year Snow Lotus.

Even if one were to find it, who would be willing to give up a drop of their heart blood?

After all, taking a drop of someone’s heart blood could very likely end that person’s life!

Jing Hang took out a laptop, a complex expression on his face, “Senior sister, after finding out that the Elixir Primer is a drop of P-type heart blood, I quietly checked the international Blood Bank data center. Currently registered globally, there are only eight cases.”

“Two of them are under ten years old, two are of advanced age, one has been missing since the registration, one is already dead, and the last two are…”

Jing Hang sighed, uncertain whether to continue.

Ming Yao slapped the top of Jing Hang’s head, “Just spit it out, do you want to drive your senior sister crazy with your hesitations?”

“Among the last two cases, one of them is your nominal husband!”

Boom!

Upon hearing this, Ming Yao’s mind went blank, a buzzing noise ringing in her ears.
