Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love

Chapter 175: Chapter 174: He Found Out Little Snowball Is Still Alive

It seemed to sense its master’s sorrow, Little Snowball lifted its paw and tapped it against his handsome face.

Seeing the kitten’s action, Gu Siting’s body stiffened.

Why did this movement feel so much like something Little Snowball would have done in the past?

Whenever he felt down, Little Snowball used to lift its little paw and tap his face.

Did Ming Yao teach it that?

After Little Snowball left, Gu Siting never thought about keeping another cat.

...

He didn’t want to endure the pain and reluctance of losing a beloved cat again!

However, the little kitten in front of him unconsciously brought out a hint of fondness in him.

He extended his hand and held its tiny paw.

Little Snowball immediately smacked his hand and raised its round little head, meowing twice as if calling out, “Daddy~”

Gu Siting’s grasp around the little kitten tightened abruptly.

If the kitten’s previous action of touching his face could be taught by Ming Yao, then what about just now when it tapped his hand and meowed twice, was that taught by Ming Yao too?

A thought equally unbelievable surfaced in Gu Siting’s mind. He stared intently at the little kitten nestled in his arms, and with a husky voice, he asked, “What if you make me angry, what then?”

The kitten in his arms immediately shook its fluffy tail and then stuck out its tongue, licking his hand.

This was Little Snowball’s signature move to cheer Gu Siting up.

It was also their little secret.

Even Ming Yao wasn’t aware of it.

Yet the little kitten snug in his arms knew it clearly.

As if, it could understand his words.

Gu Siting still hadn’t snapped out of the incredulity of Ming Yao having a different heart, when the little kitten in his arms shocked him once more.

His chest heaved slightly, he took a deep breath, and in a tight, raspy voice called out, “Little Snowball?”

“Meow~”

Gu Siting’s blood seemed to freeze in his veins.

Was this truly Little Snowball?

“Are you Gu Siting’s Little Snowball?”

“Meow meow meow~” Daddy, it’s me.

Gu Siting ran his hand over his forehead, then walked around the yard cradling Little Snowball in his arms.

How was he supposed to unleash the emotions deep within him?

He felt as if he was going to go mad!

After Little Snowball jumped out the window, Ming Yao pressed herself against the window watching the scene outside.

Seeing the man pacing back and forth, stunned as if struck by lightning, she couldn’t help but smile.

Emma, Tyrant Gu actually has such a cute side!

Are you happy or not? Your facial expressions look like constipation, indescribable!

However, the usually cold and proud man now seemed like a clueless child.

He looked at the little kitten in his arms and then at the firmly closed door, as if knowing she was watching him from inside.

This went on for thirty minutes.

Ming Yao almost thought he would stand in the yard all night, until at last, he moved and walked towards her.

Ming Yao quickly returned to the bedroom and locked the door from inside.

Soon, there was a knock at the door.

Ming Yao pretended not to hear.

If she were to confess to him about her rebirth, who knew what he would think?

Would he feel that she was an interloper, occupying the shell of his real wife?

Would he, like last time, be angry with her for lying, walk away for several days, and let her die again from insomnia?

Too many uncertainties prevented Ming Yao from facing him.

At least, she didn’t want to talk to him tonight.

Gu Siting knocked for a while, but when there was no response from inside, he stroked the little kitten’s head in his arms, “It seems she won’t come to open the door; you go first.”

Little Snowball meowed and crawled in through the window.

Ming Yao lay on the bed and, seeing Little Snowball come over, she hugged it to her chest.

“Did your daddy leave?”

Little Snowball nibbled on Ming Yao’s sleeve, signaling her to go after his daddy.

Ming Yao tugged at Little Snowball’s ear and lifted it away, “I don’t want to face him tonight.”

Soon after, Ming Yao heard the sound of a car driving away.

The man had left.

Ming Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, her heart clenched fiercely.

He wasn’t really angry, was he?

Had she lost her sleep aid again?

Ming Yao lay on the bed, her face wrapped in the man’s overcoat that he had left behind the night before.

After a moment, she got up from the bed.

Feeling stuffy, she wanted to go out to the yard for some cool air.

Ming Yao opened the door and stepped out, only to be startled by a tall figure appearing before her.

“Ah—” She kicked out in fright.

The man dodged deftly, avoiding Ming Yao’s attack.

Ming Yao steadied herself, glaring at the man resentfully, “Weren’t you gone?”

His sudden appearance had truly scared her to death.

Although she wasn’t easily frightened, she still couldn’t handle being scared like this!

The man’s eyebrows arched, “I moved the car outside, I didn’t leave.”

Ming Yao, “…”

Her heart was still thumping with the scare he gave her, and not wanting to talk to him, Ming Yao turned and went inside.

But this time, before the door could shut, the man’s long arm reached out, bracing against it.

She definitely couldn’t match his strength.

Ming Yao frowned, decided not to compete in strength, swung the door open, and let him in.

She turned and walked towards the bedroom, and seeing the man follow her, she looked back at him, “Why do you still care about me?”

The man narrowed his dark, narrow eyes slightly, “When did I ever say I didn’t care about you?”

Ming Yao bit her lower lip, “I’m not your wife, am I?”

The man stared at her for a few seconds, an uncharacteristic silence.

“If you want to divorce me now, I wouldn’t object—”

The man’s jawline tensed without a trace, “Are you serious?”

Ming Yao pursed her lips, “I only hope you don’t tell anyone about my rebirth. I don’t want to be caught for research. Honestly, I don’t even know why I ended up in your wife’s body, and who knows, maybe one day, I’ll be gone, so…”

She didn’t finish her sentence when her delicate wrist was abruptly gripped by the man.

His grip was so strong it seemed like he was about to crush her wrist bones.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch!” Ming Yao furrowed her brow, forcibly withdrawing her hand.

Her skin was thin and delicate, and just by his grip, her skin turned red, “Though I’ve taken over your wife’s body, you don’t have to be so rough, do you?”

Gu Siting’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed and, without saying a word, he pulled the woman and pinned her against the wall behind her.

Their distance narrowed abruptly.

Ming Yao looked at the man close at hand.

Beneath his high, aquiline nose, his thin red lips were pressed tight, and his deep black eyes held a trace of irritation, as if she had said something to offend him.

She opened her mouth to say something, but his long fingers pinched her chin, bending down, he kissed her forcefully and dominantly.

“Mm… What are you doing?”

The man gave her no chance to speak, conquering without gentleness.

Ming Yao’s eyes widened, looking at the man’s handsome face and his long eyelashes that rivaled a woman’s, her heart skipping a beat.

Her breath and taste buds were completely overtaken by his presence, and for the moment, she forgot the pain at her jaw, her mind beginning to scatter.
