Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon's Reluctant Love-Chapter 223 - 222 Tsk So Sweet
Chapter 223: Chapter 222: Tsk, So Sweet! Chapter 223 -222: Tsk, So Sweet! Watching the slender figure leave, Gu Siting immediately stood up from his chair.
He glanced at Jih Feng, then at Yanxi, his expression ice-cold as he left.
Jih Feng touched his nose, “Fourth Brother seems to blame me. The female lead I originally liked was Ming Yao, but another mentioned that she and Fourth Brother had an inappropriate relationship, so I thought Fourth Brother detested her—”
Choosing Qin Lianyi was still giving face to Fourth Brother, but who knew a good thing would turn into a bad one?
Fortunately, the female lead for “Peerless” hasn’t been officially announced yet!
As Ming Yao reached the entrance of the guild hall, Gu Siting caught up with her.
He took the coat from a waiter and draped it over her shoulders, his large hand grasping her small one, pulling her into his embrace.
Ming Yao refused to be pulled, turned, and got into her own car.
Gu Siting, “…”
Lu Zhou, standing behind Gu Siting, didn’t dare to take a breath.
It’s over.
Fourth Master, Mrs. Gu is at odds again.
Every time they had a disagreement, their subordinates were the ones who suffered.
Gu Siting pressed his brow, his voice hoarsely saying, “You drive my car, I’ll ride in Mrs. Gu’s car.”
Gu Siting pulled the passenger door of Ming Yao’s car open and nonchalantly sat down.
Ming Yao, about to start the engine, glanced at the man who had gotten in and scolded him with annoyance, “Are you planning to have your top actress snatch away every role I audition for from now on?”
Gu Siting loosened the top two buttons of his shirt, his voice low, “Mrs. Gu, I truly didn’t know about this.”
A hint of an aggrieved expression appeared on the man’s chiseled, handsome face.
Ming Yao huffed lightly, too lazy to deal with him any longer, and drove back to the Imperial Garden.
She was bright and beautiful, even her anger was enchantingly attractive.
Gu Siting watched the red dress on her body, the design accentuating her slim waist perfectly.

His large palm reached towards her slender waist.
Ming Yao felt a tickle.
She glared at the man with irritation, “Take your hand away!”
He didn’t move his hand, his fingertips gently caressing her waist.
Ming Yao couldn’t bear the tickling.
“Stop it, I’m driving!”
“Not mad anymore? Whatever you want in the future, I’ll give it to you.”
His pampering tone was like an invisible soft hand, reaching into the depths of her heart.
It caused ripples in her heart.
“If you do that, you’ll really become a sugar daddy. I don’t need you to provide the resources, I just want a fair competition,” Ming Yao said.
Gu Siting’s thin lips curved into a slight smile, “Indeed, Mrs. Gu is excellent in every way and doesn’t need any special care.”
Ming Yao, “Stop flattering me.”
From the corner of his eye, Gu Siting saw roadside snacks for sale, including Ming Yao’s favorite cotton candy. His voice hoarsely saying, “Mrs. Gu, pull over.”
Ming Yao, puzzled, nonetheless stopped the car.
The man pushed the car door open and walked across the street.
Tall and upright, he moved through the sidewalk with an aloof grace and distinction.
She saw him walk over to the cotton candy stall.
After exchanging a few words with the stall owner, he bought a cotton candy shaped like a little fox.
Watching the haughty, noble man approach with cotton candy meant for children, Ming Yao’s lips unconsciously curled upwards.
For such a proud and arrogant man to personally do these things for her, he was truly not bad!
Suddenly, a large truck drove toward the sidewalk at a high speed, and the man’s tall figure quickly vanished from her sight.
Ming Yao felt an inexplicable sense of panic in her heart.
Just as she was about to push the car door open and get out, she saw the man reappear in her line of sight.
A smile yet again curved up the corners of her lips.
The man returned to the car and handed the cotton candy to her mouth, “Mrs. Gu, will eating something sweet make you feel a little better?”
Ming Yao bit off a piece with a grin.
Tsk, it’s really sweet!
…
Back at the Imperial Garden, Ming Yao went to the bathroom to take a shower first.
After the shower, seeing that the man hadn’t returned to the room, she picked one of his shirts from the wardrobe.
This time, she chose a white shirt.
The oversize white shirt on her made her look even more delicate, and her legs, revealed under the hem, were fair and slender.
After drying her hair, she saw a contract on the nightstand and walked over to glance at it.
It must have been Tyrant Gu who had just left it there.
Seeing that he had really signed a two-month agreement with her, she slightly furrowed her brows.
Holding the contract, she went to find him in the study.
“Hubby, why did you make a contract? I believe that you’ll keep your word. If we have a contract, won’t it affect the way we get along?”
Ming Yao, barefoot, hurried to the man’s desk.
The man looked up at her and gave her a meaningful look.
Ming Yao froze for a moment, only then realizing that the LCD screen on the wall was showing Old Madam Gu and two old people she had never met before.
Ming Yao touched her forehead and silently asked Gu Siting, “Are you on a video call?”
Gu Siting quirked his brows.
Ming Yao covered her face with both hands, thinking about the fact that she was still wearing his white shirt. Just as she was about to run out, the man wrapped his coat around her.
His large hand caught her wrist and pulled her into his embrace.
“Grandma, Uncle Grandfather, Aunt Grandmother, my wife is feeling shy.”
Ming Yao struggled a bit in his arms.
She was not someone who would easily get embarrassed, but at that moment, she was indeed caught in an awkward social death scene.
“I can’t show my face anymore, wuu wuu wuu…” She buried her face in his chest, whining quietly.
Gu Siting chuckled softly.
That laugh, as if coming from deep within his chest, was magnetic and enticing.
“Yaoyao, what were you saying about a contract? You and Ah Ting have a contract?” Old Madam Gu asked.
Gu Siting, with his tall frame leaning against the chair, didn’t seem to have any intention of helping Ming Yao out of the situation, his brows arched with an expression that was both smiling and not.
Ming Yao secretly pinched the man’s arm, signaling him to speak, but he just looked at her with his dark pupils, not saying a word.
Great, he’s left the tricky question to her!
Ming Yao’s scalp tingled as she looked at the video and greeted the three elders before saying, “Grandma, don’t overthink the affection between husband and wife.”
After a pause, she added, “Your grandson has quite a few peculiar tastes. This shirt I’m wearing was also his instruction.”
Gu Siting, “…”
Ming Yao stole a covert annoyed glance at the man.
Who asked you to enjoy the show instead of helping me out?
Seeing that Ming Yao looked thin, Old Madam Gu gave Gu Siting a sharp look, “Ah Ting, don’t be too harsh as soon as you break the rules. Take it easy; Yaoyao is still a young girl after all!”
Gu Siting laughed softly, “Mmm, a twenty-one-year-old young girl.”
Ming Yao’s pale ears tinged with red, and she silently warned him with a glance, “Don’t laugh.”
“Seeing that you two are so affectionate and sweet with each other, I’m also reassured. The New Year is coming; this year, you both should come to the capital to celebrate. Your Uncle Grandfather and Aunt Grandmother also want you to come.”
Uncle Grandfather and Aunt Grandmother had both invited Ming Yao.
Ming Yao glanced at Uncle Grandfather. The old gentleman’s illness seemed to be quite serious, and if not properly treated, he might not have much time left.
