Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: His Stomach Has Been Spoiled by Her

Ming Yao was completely stunned, like she had been struck by lightning.

So, her only choice now was to return to Tyrant Gu’s side and take his heart blood?

So, was all her assertiveness ineffective, and she could only be a fawning dog by his side?

So, her previous bravado was just a joke, and she was about to be slapped in the face so soon?

Ming Yao looked up at the sky.

Aargh!

Heavens, you can’t be playing me like this!

Seeing Ming Yao’s changing expressions, Jing Hang silently sympathized with her.

“Senior sister, I was shocked when I saw the Blood Bank data. Your nominal husband’s blood type is so special. No wonder his aura can relieve your insomnia. Turns out he’s your Elixir Primer!”

Ming Yao looked up to the heavens speechlessly.

“Oh, your mother-in-law is also P-type blood—”

Ming Yao interrupted Jing Hang, “Don’t even think about her heart blood.” Given Madam Gu’s dislike for her, she might as well wish for her early death!

Jing Hang looked at Ming Yao’s pale face and poured her a cup of warm water, “Senior sister, if you want to completely cure your insomnia, you’ve no choice but to return to your husband’s side and find a way to get a drop of his heart blood!”

Why not just have him give me his life directly!

Right now, Ming Yao just wanted to curse.

It was already hard enough to fall asleep with his aura.

And now, to take his heart blood? The difficulty level had gone up by more than just a couple of notches, okay?

“Senior sister, I can only help you gather the twelve medicinal ingredients. Heart blood, I am powerless to obtain!”

Jing Hang brought his handsome face close to Ming Yao’s, flashing a mischievous wink. “Senior sister, how have you been getting along in the mountains with your nominal husband these past few days? Did you guys do it do it again?”

The moment Jing Hang finished speaking, he was kicked hard by Ming Yao.

“Do what, you blockhead? With his rotten skills, do you think I want to die?”

Jing Hang, looking at his suddenly irate senior sister, rubbed his shin. “Things aren’t going smoothly? Did you two have another fight?”

Was it just a fight?

It was another increase in their hatred score!

Remembering the man’s dark and stern face when he told her to get out of the car, Ming Yao shivered involuntarily.

She was now regretting it deeply.

Why did she have to be so proud when he gave her an opportunity to step down?

She bragged, she acted tough, and now she was about to die!

Given Tyrant Gu’s temperament, if she slunk back to him now, would he kick her away?

Ming Yao collapsed onto the sofa, a sense of powerlessness surged within her.

She glared at Jing Hang resentfully, “Why didn’t you tell me over the phone that I needed a drop of his heart blood?” Knowing he had that much value, she wouldn’t have provoked him!

Jing Hang scratched his head. “Such an important matter, of course I had to tell you face to face, senior sister!”

Ming Yao rolled her eyes, “…” Just let her die!

…

Evening.

Gu Siting came out of the study, Little Snowball leaped into his arms, meowing a few times.

——Daddy, where is mommy?

Little Snowball had visibly lost weight since it had not seen its female owner for a while.

Gu Siting pinched Little Snowball’s ear, his eyes cold and clear, “Don’t think about her anymore!”

Little Snowball’s ear hurt from the pinch, its pitiful cry echoing.

When mommy was here, she never pinched it; she only made it delicious food!

Gu Siting walked downstairs; Aunt Zhong had already prepared dinner.

Mu Chengjin rolled over in his wheelchair, and upon seeing Gu Siting, his brows furrowed, “Fourth Brother, after you went on your business trip, Fujin also took leave. It’s been several days, could something have happened to her?”

Fujin?

That damned woman, even disguised as a little maid, could still leave one or two people missing her!

Was she that important?

Without her, can life in the Imperial Garden not go on as usual?

Gu Siting said coldly, “She’s been absent from work for so many days, I fired her!”

As soon as the words were out, Mu Chengjin and Aunt Zhong both looked at him.

Their gazes carried disapproval and a hint of grievance.

Gu Siting chuckled.

That woman, during her time in the Imperial Garden, had not only won over his cat but also bewitched his loyal servants and close brothers!

Gu Siting sat down at the dining table, his face expressionless, “She’s not as simple as you all imagine. Don’t mention her again, let’s eat!”

Picking up his chopsticks, Gu Siting grabbed a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.

After chewing a bit, he felt the taste was off.

He had eaten very simply at Hope Elementary and hadn’t found it inappropriate.

It’s true that Aunt Zhong’s cooking didn’t taste bad, yet he still felt it wasn’t as good as the Little Maid’s.

Damn it!

His stomach seemed to have become finicky because of her!

Eating in the Imperial Garden would always remind him of her cooking.

With a snap, Gu Siting slammed his chopsticks down on the table, hadn’t eaten anything, and turned to go upstairs.

Watching Fourth Master Gu’s volatile fury, Mu Chengjin and Aunt Zhong exchanged looks, at a loss.

What had Gu Fuzhen done to the Fourth Master?

Those not in the know might even think Fourth Master had been dumped by Gu Fuzhen!

…

Ming Yao still had a coat belonging to Gu Siting in her luggage bag, which she used to make shift for the night.

She dared not return to the Imperial Garden right away, lest she face embarrassment too soon!

After waking up, she stared at the ceiling and thought about her return to the Imperial Garden. The difficulty had escalated to obtaining the “heart blood” of that despicable man, which made her inwardly resist!

To extract someone’s “heart blood,” she must make him fall in love with her and willingly give it to her!

After all, drawing even a drop of “heart blood” would damage a person’s heart meridian.

Why must such immoral task fall upon her?

Let alone making him fall in love with her and obtaining the “heart blood,” just returning to his side now and getting him to help her as her sleep aid would be a big problem!

Yesterday in the car, how assertive and domineering she had been!

Ming Yao bit her lip, knowing that returning to the Imperial Garden like this, Tyrant Gu would definitely not agree.

She had to think of some way to return to his side with a legitimate reason.

Does Little Snowball need her?

Can Aunt Zhong not do without her?

Neither seemed likely.

In the afternoon, an unfamiliar phone call came in.

Ming Yao answered the phone, and from the other end came a voice that didn’t sound too pleasant, “Ming Yao? This is Gu Siting’s mother.”

Oh, so it was Madam Gu.

“Madam Gu, do you need something from me?”

Madam Gu didn’t mind that Ming Yao hadn’t called her mother-in-law; in her heart, Ming Yao had never been her daughter-in-law.

“Come to the Gu Family, I have something to discuss with you.”

Madam Gu’s tone was unfriendly, and by asking Ming Yao over, it probably wasn’t for anything good.

But Ming Yao was exactly looking for a righteous reason to return to Tyrant Gu’s side, so Madam Gu’s phone call was timely.@@novelbin@@

“Alright, I’ll come right away.”

After Madam Gu hung up, she was somewhat surprised. Had Ming Yao become so obedient?

Was she deliberately trying to please her?

Too bad, she had no need for Ming Yao’s flattery.

“Yuzhi, is Ming Yao coming?” The speaker was Madam Zhou, Zhou Zhiyan’s mother. Her brother’s company had faced a crisis recently, and after much investigation, she found out that it was Gu Siting who had sabotaged it from behind.
