Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Damn You, Jerk!

Ming Yao hung up the phone, unable to help but rolled her eyes.

Was she really that kind of person who was driven by desires?

At this moment, she had no idea just how much pain and emptiness her heart would endure when he left her upon learning the whole truth.

Returning to the Imperial Garden, Ming Yao made her way to the servant room.

She had lived here for a while and left behind many memories.

It wasn’t long before the door was suddenly pushed open, Aunt Zhong’s voice came through, “Fujin, you’re back?”

Aunt Zhong, seeing Ming Yao in the room, was stunned for a moment, “Mrs. Gu?”

“I’m so sorry, Mrs. Gu, I just saw the door ajar and thought it was Gu Fuzhen, who used to work here, coming back!”

Ming Yao knew that Aunt Zhong genuinely liked Gu Fuzhen.

She hardly dared to tell Aunt Zhong that she herself was Gu Fuzhen.

After all, she had stayed on as the Little Maid, a status equal to Aunt Zhong’s.

But now, having suddenly become Gu Siting’s wife, Aunt Zhong would unconsciously treat her as the mistress of the house.

And she didn’t want to leave a bad impression of having deceived Aunt Zhong in her heart!

Let the fond memories of Gu Fuzhen stay in her heart forever!

Ming Yao curved her lips into a small smile, “It’s okay, I just saw Little Snowball would come here sometimes, so I came to check.”

Ming Yao went back upstairs, she took out the Little Maid’s phone and sent Aunt Zhong a message.

[Aunt Zhong, it’s Fujin. I’ve gone to a neighboring city. I’ve found a new job with good pay and benefits all around. Thank you for taking care of me before. Wish you and Steward Zhong smooth work and good health!]

Aunt Zhong teared up when she saw this message.

She quickly replied to Ming Yao.

[Fujin, next time you come to Li City, Aunt Zhong will treat you to a meal. You must take care of yourself living alone, and don’t trust those scumbags so easily again. Wishing you find your happiness soon!]

Ming Yao felt warm inside when she read Aunt Zhong’s message.

In Ming Yao’s life, not only was there harsh words but also comforting words of kindness!

After messaging Aunt Zhong, Ming Yao took out another phone.

The phone was on silent mode with several missed calls.

Some were from Ming Guoan, and some from Jiang Biyun.

Perhaps because she wasn’t taking calls, Ming Guoan sent a message.

[Why aren’t you answering your phone? Have you grown wings and won’t even pay attention to your parents now? If you know what’s good for you, come back to the Ming Family right away!]

Given Ming Guoan’s tone, it was definitely nothing good!

Ming Wan didn’t win the championship, they would surely like to take their anger out on her.

Ming Yao couldn’t understand why, as a daughter of the Ming Family, they just couldn’t accept her achievement as parents?

Ming Yao didn’t bother with them and directly blacklisted both of their numbers.

That afternoon, Ming Yao stayed in her room watching movies, petting her cat.

It was nine at night and Tyrant Gu still hadn’t come back.

Ming Yao thought about his clearly displeased expression in the car after he was rejected and knitted her brows slightly.

The damn man wasn’t actually so petty as to be mad at her, right?

Was he punishing her by not coming back tonight for her refusal?

If he didn’t come back, she couldn’t sleep.

The feeling of having one’s Achilles’ heel in someone else’s hands really sucked!

Around ten o’clock that night, Ming Yao, who had been eagerly gazing out the floor-to-ceiling window at the street, finally saw a bright beam of car headlights.

Without even putting on her shoes, she hurried down the stairs.

As soon as the man entered, he was greeted by the woman’s soft body hurling toward him.

The man’s tall figure stumbled back two steps from the impact, his hand wrapping around the woman’s waist as his dark, bottomless eyes glared at her dangerously, “Ming Yao, if you can’t give it, then don’t tempt me!”

Ming Yao clung to the man’s coat, “Wuuu, I can’t sleep without you.”

Before today, the man would always consciously give her his coat.

But now, she couldn’t pull it off.

He wouldn’t give it to her anymore.

Ming Yao sniffed, “You’ve been drinking?”

Gu Siting’s tall figure slowly bent down, and Ming Yao’s slender body unconsciously pressed against the shoe cabinet.

As the man leaned down, the crisp scent of cold fir mixed with the faint aroma of red wine flooded into her nostrils, distinct and romantically intoxicating.

Ming Yao’s delicate white teeth lightly bit her red lips.

Her beautiful eyes filled with misty water, the faint mole near her eye corner enticingly prompting desire.

He propped one hand above her head, using his height advantage to trap her between the shoe cabinet and his chest.

Ming Yao’s delicate fingertips clutched his suit coat, “Husband, give me your coat, please!”

Gu Siting looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile, unclear if he was drunk or sober, and with his other hand, he lifted her small, delicate chin, “Mrs. Gu, if I can’t cure your insomnia, will you still sweet-talk me?”

Ming Yao, “…” Of course, I wouldn’t!

But in life, are there really any ‘ifs’?

“Husband, if you want it, please give me a little more time, or maybe, when you return from your business trip?”

Gu Siting’s dark eyes grew a shade deeper, his sexy Adam’s apple bobbed, and he chuckled softly, “I’ve never liked being controlled. You tell me ‘when’ and I should listen to you? Why would I, hmm?”

The last “hmm” was husky, magnetic, and dangerously seductive.

This man’s flirting could really be lethal!

Ming Yao’s eyelashes quivered as she looked down, her fingertips fiddling with his suit button, “Could you just listen to me this once, please?”

“Acting coy won’t work on me.”

Ming Yao, “…” How about using force?

“If you want my coat, you’re going to have to do something to satisfy me.”

Looking at his deep, dark eyes, Ming Yao swallowed hard.

Big brother, your directness is downright scary!

“What do you want me to do to satisfy you?”

No sooner had Ming Yao spoken than the man pinched her chin and kissed her directly.

His husky voice rose with their closely pressed lips, “Guess what wine I drank tonight?”

So close, his breath almost entirely sprayed onto her tender skin, burning her cheeks and earlobes red.

She pursed her lips, “What if I can’t guess?”

“I’ll make sure you, and the days when I’m away on a business trip, will be sleepless nights.”

You ruthless man!

Ming Yao’s thick, curled eyelashes trembled, “Then I might need to taste again.”

Gu Siting tugged at the corner of his lips, his handsome face closing in on hers again, the distance merely that of a thin sheet of paper, “I’ll satisfy you.”

He kissed her once more.

Her thick eyelashes were like a soft little brush, gently sweeping across his skin, and the temperature of their pressing lips slowly rose.

“Have you guessed it yet?”

Ming Yao’s delicate white teeth gently bit her red lip, “Romanee-Conti Grand Cru.”

Gu Siting’s fingers caressed Ming Yao’s smooth white cheek, his fingertips lovingly stroking her skin, “Not bad. What about the vintage?”

Ming Yao glared at him irritably, “Didn’t you just ask me which red wine?”

“Then no coat for you while I’m on my business trip.”

Ming Yao was truly afraid of him now.

“Let me taste again!”

Without waiting for her to say anything further, he clasped the back of her head and deeply kissed her once again.
