Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: I Don’t Want to Be a Little Maid Anymore

Ming Yao returned to the courtyard and took a shower in the bathroom.

Standing in front of the mirror, she observed the bruised and purple marks on her body and cursed that damn man bitterly!

How long had it been since he touched a woman?

Turning her into such a state, was he even human?

Didn’t he know it was her first time?

From now on, she would have a shadow over that sort of thing!

It wasn’t pleasant at all, but rather a nightmarish existence!

The more Ming Yao thought about it, the angrier she became, and she no longer wanted to act as the Little Maid.

Lying in bed, her whole body was uncomfortably numb, yet she couldn’t fall asleep.

She stayed awake with her eyes on the ceiling, not eating or drinking for a whole day, like a living dead.

In the evening, Jing Hang, who had been unable to reach her by phone, came to find her.

Pushing the door open and seeing Ming Yao lying still on the bed, he asked anxiously, “Senior sister, have you been broken by your nominal husband?”

Ming Yao moved her eyeballs and said, “Almost no different from being broken.”

“Your husband is quite something—”@@novelbin@@

Before he could finish, a pillow was thrown fiercely at him.

“I’m sorry, senior sister.” Jing Hang approached the bed and, seeing the marks on Ming Yao’s neck, he cursed, “Damn it, that Gu must be a beast, huh?” If her neck looks this bad, isn’t the rest of her worse?

Ming Yao extended her hand to Jing Hang, “Help me up.”

She was really feeling miserable, filled with hate and resentment, and yet she couldn’t stay away from that wretched man!

“Senior sister, surely you’re not thinking of going back to him?”

Ming Yao didn’t want to go back either, but if she didn’t, she’d suffer from insomnia.

She didn’t want to die another time!

She rubbed her hair and said irritably, “It’s so hard to research the aura about him, do you think I’ll have to stay by his side for the rest of my life?”

Jing Hang sat beside Ming Yao and raised his eyebrows, “Senior sister, I heard from our master last time that our isolation-cultivating grandmaster has an ancient secret tome. It’s said to have cures for all sorts of bizarre illnesses. I’m planning to go back to the Tang Sect to see if I can meet the grandmaster and borrow the tome to cure your insomnia.”

Ming Yao’s eyes brightened, but soon dimmed again, “Grandmaster has been in isolation for over twenty years. Apart from the people closest to him, he doesn’t see anyone, not even our master. Do you think he would see you?”

“You’ve forgotten about the old granny by his side. She has a granddaughter who’s grown up now. I, your junior brother, can always use a seduction strategy!”

Ming Yao, “Don’t deceive that girl’s feelings again.”

“Fine, fine, I’ll find a way to sneak in.”

“There are so many traps in the grandmaster’s place; don’t get caught in them while failing to steal anything.”

“Senior sister, you underestimate me. Just wait for my good news!”

Ming Yao reached out her arms and hugged Jing Hang, “Thanks.”

“What’s the thanks for? I’m helping you, senior sister, but I have my conditions.”

Ming Yao, “…”

“A buddy and I have opened a bar in Li City. He has invited lots of stars and models. I’ve been thinking about whom to invite and can only think of you, senior sister. With you there, you’ll certainly dazzle the entire crowd and give the place some prestige.”

Ming Yao slapped Jing Hang on the top of his head, “Look at me now, do you think I’m in any shape to party?”

“Senior sister, if your nominal husband is so formidable, haven’t you recovered after lying down all day?”

“Why bring him up? He doesn’t understand women at all, he’s just a jerk!”

“Then I guess he didn’t have much experience before either?”

Ming Yao, “…” Really, had Tyrant Gu never touched another woman before?
