Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Tyrant Gu has quite a way of doting on someone

After he kissed her four or five times in a row, she really couldn’t take such intimacy anymore and said in a mosquito-like voice, “1945.”

Romanée-Conti Grand Cru is known as the king of wines in the world, with a very limited production each year. The wine produced in 1945 is said to be worth 3.83 million per bottle, renowned for its rich fruit aroma, full-bodied taste, and layered complexity, leaving a deep fragrance on the tip of the tongue after tasting.

Ming Yao didn’t have complete confidence, and she glanced at the man.

The man didn’t speak, his hands pinned her between the console cabinet and his chest. He leaned down slightly, and his hot, refreshing breath sprayed on the tender skin of her face, his dark eyes dangerously deep like an abyss.

Ming Yao didn’t know how to react under his gaze, and she touched her face, “Husband, why are you looking at me with that kind of look?”

The man lifted his slender fingers to clasp the back of Ming Yao’s head and chuckled lowly, “Mrs. Gu, how many more surprises do you have for me?”

Before Ming Yao could react, he aggressively and dominantly sealed her lips again.

Aunt Zhong woke up, got up for a glass of water.

When she passed through the living room, she saw that the light in the hallway was still on, thinking she had forgotten to turn it off before she went to sleep.

She was about to go over there when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the scene in the hallway.

The tall man had lifted the woman onto the cabinet, with her delicate figure enveloped in his embrace; her face wasn’t visible, only her slender, white legs wrapped around the man’s waist could be seen.

One looking down, the other tilting back.

They were kissing.

Aunt Zhong’s face turned red at the sight.

This was not for her to see; she quickly turned around and scurried back to her room, forgetting all about the water.

Ming Yao’s face was flushed from being kissed by the man.

She looked up at the man in front of her with her long lashes trembling lightly. His lips had become much redder, looking a bit bewitching and wild.

Ming Yao wrapped her arms around his neck, pouting her lips, “Husband, don’t you think our relationship is moving a bit too fast?”

The man slightly raised his eyebrows, “Hmm?”

The word hummed with a tail sound, as if it came from his throat, inexplicably magnetic and provocative.

“Without any process, I was directly taken to bed by you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her delicate nose was pinched hard by the man.

“Who is seducing whom exactly?”

His breath was hot as he spoke, enough to redden her face.

Ming Yao puffed her cheeks, “I haven’t even enjoyed the pleasure of being pursued, husband, how about you start pursuing me now? If you satisfy me, then I’ll fulfill my duties as Mrs. Gu?”

The man tugged at the corner of his lips with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “I won’t pursue you.”

Ming Yao huffed, “Mr. Gu, remember, you still owe me one condition!”

Looking at her moving lips, the man bit her hard, “If you don’t want to sleep with me, just say it directly. Asking me to pursue you, how long will it take?”

“You haven’t even pursued me, how do you know it will be hard?”

Gu Siting, “Pursuing you won’t delay doing other things.”

Ah, it’s truly exhausting to talk with a man who has had experience—

“Haven’t you ever pursued a woman before? Mr. Gu, you’re so good at kissing, you don’t seem like someone without an ex!”

The man’s narrow eyes darkened slightly as he pressed his lips together without speaking.

Ming Yao pondered for a moment in her heart.

So he does have an ex.

And it’s someone that shouldn’t be brought up.

Ming Yao didn’t want to continue to annoy him and switched the topic, “If you won’t pursue, that’s fine. But since I guessed the wine’s name and vintage correctly, you will leave your overcoat when you travel for business, right?”

The man let out a low laugh in his throat, “Depends on my mood.”

!!!

Ming Yao felt like cursing out loud.

The man released her, undone his shirt buttons, and strode upstairs with his long legs.

Ming Yao watched his tall and straight back, gnashing her teeth in frustration.

Such a scheming man!

She ground her teeth and, with a sprinter’s stance, she rushed from behind and jumped onto his back.

He was steady on his feet, and when she, at 170cm tall, charged onto his back, he didn’t even wobble.

It was as if he feared she might fall, his well-defined long fingers instinctively supporting the back of her knees.

Ming Yao’s delicate and fair legs impudently coiled around him.

“I don’t care, if you don’t stay, I’m going with you on the business trip!!!” Her sharp teeth bit down on his neck.

Gu Siting’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and his voice, cool and husky as if it had rolled over coals, said, “Don’t bite randomly.”

Ming Yao, “I will bite, I will bite, I will bite——”

The man did not stop her again. He carried her upstairs, his rosy and attractive thin lips curling into an almost imperceptible indulgent arc.

Tyrant Gu went on a business trip.

In the end, he didn’t make it difficult for Ming Yao, leaving behind two of his jackets at home.

He even instructed Ming Yao that if the scent on the jackets faded, he would have Assistant Lu send them to her overnight.

When Tyrant Gu spoiled someone, he really had his ways.

Ming Yao rested at home for a day and, noting that Little Snowball had become noticeably thinner recently, prepared a lot of delicious food for it at home.

Ming Yao received a call from Old Madam Ming, asking her to take over Autumn Water Studio.

Ming Yao rarely dressed up in work attire—a white blouse, a pencil skirt with a back vent, her long hair tied into a low ponytail, her face adorned with delicate light makeup—transforming instantly from a cold and splendid queen to a career elite.

She stood in front of the mirror, took out her phone, and snapped a photo.

Planning to send it to Tyrant Gu, she realized she didn’t have his WeChat.

She tried adding his mobile number.

It was quickly approved.

Ming Yao’s red lips curved into a smile.

At least he had some sense, approving it instantly, not making her wait.

Ming Yao immediately sent over her glamorous selfie.

Yet, she didn’t know that her selfie was seen by everyone attending the meeting with Tyrant Gu.

This is what happened: there was an important document on Fourth Master Gu’s phone needed for the meeting, and Lu Zhou, handling the phone during the meeting to access that document, inadvertently approved a new WeChat request. He didn’t expect that the next second, a glamorous photo would come through.

On the projector, legs for days.

The woman’s face was mostly obscured by the phone, but one could tell she was delicately beautiful, dressed in a form-fitting white blouse that showcased a proud bust and a waist too slight to grasp fully, and most captivating were the woman’s long legs sheathed in black sheer stockings.

Anyone lacking self-control would have had a nosebleed on the spot.

Lu Zhou realized he had clicked on the photo in error and quickly exited.

The photo display time was merely two or three seconds.

The crowd claimed they hadn’t had enough!

They all looked in unison towards the man sitting in the primary position, Gu Siting’s black eyes were dark and profound, his facial contours mysterious and impenetrable, impossible to discern his inner thoughts.

No one knew the large hand he had placed under the conference table had tightened into a fist.

Thinking of the woman who sent the photo, a hint of helplessness and an almost imperceptible softness flickered through his eyes.

Such an unsettled and troubling Little Swindler!

…

Autumn Water Studio.

As soon as Ming Yao arrived, she saw the staff automatically lining up in two rows.

Ming Yao casually lifted her beautiful eyes.

Had they all come out to welcome her?

Just as she was about to walk over, Sister Tong, imposing and majestic, stepped forward.

“Everyone better be sharp, Miss Ming is about to arrive, she’s Ming Corporation’s future successor, not like that out-of-favor young lady. Keep your eyes wide open and don’t let Miss Ming find any faults!”

Ming Yao raised an eyebrow.

So they weren’t welcoming her, but Ming Wan?

Sister Tong, upon seeing Ming Yao standing in the corridor and scanning her business attire, mistook her for a job applicant and said impatiently, “Newcomer, what are you still doing standing there? You’ve got no sense of initiative; this job isn’t suitable for you. Hurry on your way!”
