Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love

Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Who Can Resist a Coquettish Mrs. Gu?

Before, he had never had much contact with her, only relying on rumors from outsiders to think that she was a ditz.

Her behavior also led him to believe she was promiscuous and disobedient to the ways of a wife.

But after getting to know her, he found that she was principled in the way she conducted herself and her affairs.

Even though she was eloquent, charming in speech, and seductive like a demon, there was no doubt that she was outstanding and exceptional.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had such a significant influence on him!

However, this didn’t seem to be a good omen!

She was like a cunning fox, adept at bewitching people’s hearts. If he wasn’t her tool for aiding sleep, would she still cling to him so flatteringly?

Or, if it were some other man who was her tool for aiding sleep, would she also go out of her way to cajole and charm that man?

Thinking of that scene, Gu Siting’s handsome features instantly took on a grim and shadowy cast.

Aunt Zhong became even more panicked when she saw the sudden change in Gu Siting’s complexion.

Gu Siting stood up from the dining chair, and said to Aunt Zhong in a deep voice, “You’re overthinking it; she’s not that important!”

Gu Siting left the dining room.

Aunt Zhong remained frozen in place.

Not understanding whether the Fourth Master was referring to Gu Fuzhen or Ming Yao.

As Gu Siting walked upstairs, he casually unbuttoned a few buttons of his shirt.

He pushed open the bedroom door, expecting the woman to have taken his coat left in the bedroom and departed; surprisingly, she had made a bed on the floor beside his bed.

She had taken a shower, was wearing a silk nightgown, and was lying on the bed working on design drafts.

Little Snowball was sleeping beside her, a warm orange wall light was on in the bedroom, and the woman’s long hair cascaded down one side, her skin snow-white and her profile exquisitely beautiful, resembling a finely painted portrait of a lady by an artist.

The room was full of warmth, and the woman only had a thin blanket draped over her delicately beautiful lower back, her two snow-white feet dangling in the air, with her pink nails emitting an enticing color.

Gu Siting’s eyes narrowed imperceptibly as he watched her for a few seconds before his voice deepened, “Ming Yao.”

Caught off guard by the man’s seemingly unhappy voice, Ming Yao raised her beautiful eyes to glance at him.

Her brow lifted slightly, and with it, the tear mole at the corner of her eye came vividly to life, “Hmm, what’s up? I’m not climbing into your bed, can I keep sleeping on the floor from now on?”

The man didn’t even think before bluntly rejecting her, “No, you can’t. You have three seconds to leave my room!”

Ming Yao was intimidated by his brusque, icy tone.

Before he left the room, he had still pulled her into his arms for a thorough kiss.

Was he angry just because she hadn’t given in to him?

Was he really that petty?

Seeing his handsome face turn cold, showing no sign of softening, Ming Yao packed up her design drafts and got up from the floor with Little Snowball in her arms.

Gu Siting took a cigarette out of his pocket and put it to his lips. Seeing Ming Yao preparing to leave, he reminded her in a low voice, “My coat is on the bed.”

Ming Yao, “…” The fairy was angry and didn’t want his coat!

She didn’t take his coat and walked straight out of the bedroom.

With a bang, the door was slammed shut!

Gu Siting rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

After Ming Yao left, she didn’t go far.

She looked at the door she had slammed shut, counting to three silently in her heart.

One, two, three…

The man didn’t come out to comfort her.

Tsk.

She had overestimated her influence in that dog of a man’s heart!

Perhaps, he was only interested in her body.

After that night, he got addicted to sleeping with her, so he was the one who took the initiative to tease her, to kiss her!

Ming Yao stroked Little Snowball’s head and sighed deeply, “Your papa is just too much of a scoundrel!”

Ming Yao stood in the hallway for a while, still unable to leave with much dignity.

She leaned on the door frame, listening for any sounds from inside.

The man seemed to have gone to take a shower.

About half an hour passed, and the bathroom door opened, he must have finished his shower.

Ming Yao felt her feet had gone numb from standing.

Her beautiful eyes shifted ever so slightly as she took out her cellphone, pretending to make a call.

“Hello, Jing Hang? I can’t sleep tonight, want to hit the bar and dance?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the bedroom door was pulled open.

The man grabbed her wrist in one swift motion, snatching the cellphone from her hand.

After glancing at the phone screen and seeing that she hadn’t dialed any number, he realized he’d been tricked.

A flick of his tongue against his cheek, “Little Swindler.”

Ming Yao stepped forward, her slender fingers wrapping gently around his long index finger, shaking it lightly, “Husband, let me sleep on the floor next to you, I promise I won’t disturb you!”

When she acted coquettishly, her eyes brimmed with a layer of moisture, mingling cold beauty with innocence. For a moment, she was like a little vixen oozing charm.

So coy!

So bewitching!

So seductive!

Who the fuck could withstand that?

Gu Siting’s jaw was clenched tight, his face stern and serious, “You can sleep, but go change your nightgown first.”

Ming Yao looked down at her own sleep dress, a conservative style with a round neckline that reached her ankles. What kind of nightgown did he expect her to change into?

Half an hour later.

Aunt Zhong came with a set of dull grey two-piece pajamas.

It was obviously something an elderly person would wear.

“Fourth Master, the conservative and safe pajamas you requested have arrived.”

Ming Yao looked at the pajamas in Aunt Zhong’s hands and let out a laugh.

Indeed, they were conservative and safe!

Ming Yao turned her head, “So ugly, I won’t wear it.”

Gu Siting took the pajamas, his thin lips curving slightly, “You don’t have to wear them if you don’t want to, go sleep outside.”

Ming Yao, “…” Whimpering. Tyrant, is this how you threaten your wife?

Having no choice, Ming Yao had to put on the granny-style pajamas on herself.

Seeing her in the pajamas, Gu Siting chuckled softly, “Not bad.”

It was much more pleasant to the eye than the previous nightgown.

To put it simply, it would reduce many inappropriate thoughts.

…

Gu Residence.

Madam Gu felt uneasy remembering Gu Siting’s departure and his threat to take her to court.

She had taken a bath, meticulously cared for her skin, sprayed on some perfume, and changed into a champagne-colored silk nightgown.

With its V-neck design and nothing worn underneath, it was subtly sexy.

Madam Gu, in her forties but well-maintained, taut and smooth-skinned, looked to be only in her thirties.

Around ten in the evening, the sound of an engine came from the entrance.

Gu Siting’s father, Gu Mingde, was back.

Gu Mingde showed no signs of middle-age greasiness, his hair jet-black, his build tall and sturdy, his eyes and brows exuding a martial spirit.

Madam Gu rushed into Gu Mingde’s arms, “Husband, why are you only coming back now?”

Gu Mingde, having socialized and drunk quite a bit, looked down at his wife who had been consistently gentle and virtuous for a decade, and pinched her smooth cheek, “What’s wrong, have you cried?”

Madam Gu exaggeratedly relayed the matter of Gu Siting wanting to take her to court, “You knew about the Fifty Million I used; my family needed some funds to tide over, and I couldn’t just not offer them.”

“Now that he’s grown wings, he doesn’t see me or even you in his eyes, and he wants to take me to court. This will affect our Gu Family’s reputation!”

Madam Gu wrapped her arms around Gu Mingde’s neck, her red lips moving towards his for a kiss.

She knew exactly what Gu Mingde coveted most from her, and once he was satisfied, everything else was negotiable.

“Who gave him the guts to sue his own mother—” Just as Gu Mingde was about to embrace Madam Gu’s waist to accept her kiss, he stopped abruptly upon seeing her face.
