Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love

Chapter 181: Chapter 180: Tyrant Gu Overwhelmed with Jealousy

Gu Siting was curious about what Ming Yao had posted on social media. He took out his phone and opened WeChat.

When he saw the words “thanks to my rich husband,” his thin lips curved into a faint smile.

But the smile quickly vanished, replaced by bone-piercing cold.

A gloom and frost covered his handsome brows and eyes.

Lu Zhou saw his boss’s face change rapidly and he couldn’t help but feel alarmed.

Could it be that the Paraiba Tourmaline Gemstone and over a hundred varieties of roses were not gifts from Fourth Master?

Gu Siting closed WeChat, grabbed his car keys, and quickly left the office.

He drove himself straight to Ming Corporation.

Autumn Water Studio was on a separate floor. The receptionist knew that the studio had recently collaborated with SY Media and thought Gu Siting was there to discuss business with the young mistress.

Ming Yao didn’t feel like working that afternoon. She was leaned over her desk, looking at top-grade gemstones.

She was considering creating a set of unique jewelry.

Making jewelry with Paraiba Tourmaline was really too cool and eye-catching.

With a smile on her lips, the light-colored tear mole at the corner of her eye appeared even more vivid and charming.

Zhong Ling saw Gu Siting come in, and just as she was about to report to the people in the office, Gu Siting didn’t wait for her to approach and pushed the door open himself.

Hearing the noise, Ming Yao lifted her head.

When she saw her wealthy husband had arrived, Ming Yao didn’t mind his barging in. Her bright and coldly charming face lit up with a smile.

She opened her arms and ran towards him.

Zhong Ling quickly showed tact by closing the door behind her. The scene that followed was one that required payment to watch.

Ming Yao’s slender arms wrapped around the man’s neck, and her beautiful red lips kissed him on the face.

“Husband, my birthday is still two days away. You’ve really gone all out.” Her brows and eyes curved into a smile, her vivacious little face expressing her fondness for the gift, “The gift you gave is just so to my taste, even if you hadn’t, I would have rewarded you tonight anyway!”

Even as a marriage of convenience, they had obligations to fulfill, after all!

After saying this, she noticed the man had no reaction. She loosened her arms from around his neck and lifted her eyes to look at him.

The anger was unmistakably clear in the handsome man’s ashen face and in his eyes. Anyone could see his displeasure and irritation.

Um, what was going on?

Was it wrong for her to thank him for the gift?

Ming Yao lifted her slender fingertips and gently poked the man’s chest, “Don’t you like me posting on social media?”

After all, she didn’t have many contacts on social media now. Even if she posted, only people who knew her would know about it, and they wouldn’t spread it around.

Gu Siting suddenly grasped the slender fingertips poking his chest, his large hand gradually adding pressure as a scowl formed on his face.

Ming Yao gasped in pain.

Was he crazy?

Was he trying to crush her finger bones?

This damn man always managed to shatter her good mood into pieces.

Ming Yao wanted to say something, but when she met his black eyes burning with flames, she involuntarily shivered.

Every line of the man’s profile was taut, displaying his current rage and restraint.

Ming Yao had never seen Tyrant Gu this angry before.

Although she had seen him angry in the past, such chilling cold and fury that made one’s blood run cold was new to her.

“What’s the matter with you? How did I offend you?”

Gu Siting’s peripheral vision caught sight of the enormous roses in the office, as well as the four hundred million worth Paraiba Tourmaline Gemstone.

His jaw clenched tightly, his handsome face expressionless and so grim that it seemed droplets of water could fall from it.

“Who are you calling ‘husband’ on social media, hmm?” His tall frame approached her, bringing with it a suffocating cold aura.

Ming Yao’s heart raced in alarm.

Don’t tell her that neither the roses nor the Paraiba Tourmaline Gemstone was sent by Tyrant Gu?

Under the formidable pressure of the man’s coldness, Ming Yao’s slender body kept retreating until her lower back was against the desk.

Ming Yao wanted to walk away, but the next second, the man’s hands braced against the desk behind her, trapping her between his chest and the office desk.

Watching the dangerous undercurrent swirling in the man’s eyes, Ming Yao swallowed and explained in a soft voice, “You can be angry, but can’t you use your brain and think, if I knew who sent them, would I have made a social media post that’s practically inviting trouble for myself?”

Gu Siting’s expression remained grim, “Your ex, isn’t it?”

Being able to give such an extravagant gift indicated how much they valued her, with power and wealth no less than his!

His anger was also because he had encountered a formidable rival!

Ming Yao opened her mouth to say something, but the office door suddenly swung open, followed by Jing Hang’s voice, “Senior Sister, did Senior Brother send you a surprise? I heard he had someone deliver a treasure that he has cherished for a long time—”

Seeing the situation inside the office, Jing Hang abruptly stopped.

“Ahem, I see Brother-in-law…” Remembering that his Senior Sister forbade him to call him that, Jing Hang quickly corrected himself, “Fourth Master is also here, you two continue chatting, I’ve got something else to do, I’m leaving!”

Seeing the look on his Senior Sister as if she was about to devour someone, Jing Hang realized he had misspoken, instantly closed the door, and vanished.

Inside the office.

The temperature in the air dropped to freezing point.

Ming Yao ground her teeth, wishing she could grab a knife and hack that stinking brat Jing Hang to pieces!

Her chin suddenly hurt as the man’s long fingers pinched her, his deep eyes dark and cold, “Senior Brother?”

Ming Yao’s head ached.

She was also surprised, okay? Senior Brother had sent her flowers and the gemstone!

Apart from Jing Hang, she hadn’t even told anyone at the Tang Sect that she was still alive, okay?

“A brother I grew up with, he’s married now, he probably knows I’m still alive and wanted to give me the best,” Ming Yao pried the man’s large hand off her chin, her beautiful eyes carrying a hint of ingratiation, “Husband, don’t be angry, it’s a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding, okay?”

Gu Siting didn’t believe it was a misunderstanding.

Even though her Senior Brother was married, she was still highly important to him in his heart.

There is a legend associated with the Paraiba Tourmaline Gemstone, that it is only given to one’s true love, for lifetimes!

“Ming Yao, you are lying!”

Ming Yao’s scalp tingled, “I’m not, husband, believe me.”

The man’s tall figure took a step back, his jawline taut, his entire demeanour looking cold and distant.

She stepped forward, hugging his arm, acting coquettishly, “Husband, I’ll immediately return the items, okay…”

Before she could finish, he shook off her arm and strode out.

With a loud bang, he forcefully shut the door of her office.

Seeing the man leave with a cold and sulky face, the employees outside the office were shocked.

Did the young mistress just have a falling out with Fourth Master?

With Fourth Master leaving in such anger, could Autumn Water Studio still prosper in Li City after this?
