Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon's Reluctant Love-Chapter 217 - 216: Give Each Other a Chance, Start Over

Chapter 217: Chapter 216: Give Each Other a Chance, Start Over

They, husband and wife, had actually fallen asleep!!!

The slender woman was held in the embrace of the tall man, with golden sunlight shining through the window, casting a golden halo over them, making the scene as beautiful as it could be.

Xia Yiwan couldn’t help but take out her phone and quietly snapped a photo.

Jing Hang saw that his senior sister had finally fallen asleep, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

He had been searching for his senior sister for the past few days without much rest himself, and he had asked the abbot for a room to rest in as well.

Gu Siting woke up after a few hours.

He hadn’t slept well during those hours.

He was plagued with nightmares the entire time.

In the dreams, he found Ming Yao, but she had died from insomnia.

He held her cold body tightly, almost crushing her into his very bones and blood.

Ming Yao was sleeping soundly when she suddenly found it difficult to breathe.

It was as if someone was strangling her, making her unable to catch her breath.

Ming Yao tried to push away the person who was strangling her, but couldn’t.

After a long time without sleep, she needed to catch up on rest, but the person holding her seemed intent on suffocating her.

She suddenly opened her eyes.

Raising her head, she saw the man holding her tightly, his brows deeply furrowed as if he was having a nightmare. With a hoarse voice, she spoke, “Gu Siting!”

The man seemed not to hear her calling him.

She began to struggle forcefully, “Gu Siting, you’re squeezing me, let go!”

The man’s eyes snapped open.

His narrow eyes, filled with bloodshot redness, stared at her like an abyss.

The emotions swirling at the bottom of his eyes were overwhelming and nearly impossible to withstand.

Ming Yao opened her mouth to say something, but before she could, he suddenly leaned down and kissed her deeply.

“Mm!”

Her lips were sealed by him, and Ming Yao’s mind was momentarily confused.

But she quickly regained her bearings and forcefully pushed the man’s face away from hers.

Gu Siting was completely awakened from the nightmare.

He took hold of Ming Yao’s delicate white hand, tightly gripping it in his palm.

Ming Yao rose from the bed.

Although she had only slept a few hours, her mental state had improved significantly compared to before.

Her muddled thoughts had also become much clearer.

Ming Yao touched her forehead and looked at the man who had also risen from the bed.

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but he seemed to have lost quite a bit of weight compared to the past few days.

His usually clean-shaven jaw now sported a faint stubble, giving him a more masculine aura.

Thinking of what he said before they slept, her eyebrows furrowed deeply.

“Have you been looking for me all this time?”

In the letter she left for him, she admitted that she had once had a relationship with the Senior Brother and that she had liked the Senior Brother. She also admitted that she had only used him as a tool to help her sleep.

Why was he still looking for her?

Gu Siting’s tall figure walked towards Ming Yao, but every time he drew near, she instinctively stepped back.

He paused for a moment, then continued to advance towards her step by step.

Ming Yao’s slender body was backed up against the table.

Behind her, there was no way out.

Gu Siting placed his hands on the table, caging her between his chest and the table.

Ming Yao leaned back to avoid getting too close to him, but each time she leaned back, his tall figure would bend slightly towards her.

His solid chest came close to her delicate body.

Ming Yao was somewhat annoyed, “Can’t you just stand properly?”

The man’s dark eyes looked at her intensely, his thin lips barely moving, “I can’t.”

Ming Yao was speechless.

I’ve never seen someone so shameless while maintaining such a serious demeanor.

Ming Yao closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her beautiful pupils carried a hint of faint coolness and detachment, “Have you signed the divorce agreement?”

“I tore it up.”

Ming Yao, “…”

A moment of silence hung in the air.

They stared at each other, their uneven breaths intermingling.

“Did you see the letter I left for you? I don’t want to deceive you anymore. If you weren’t my sleep aid, I would have signed the divorce papers as soon as I was reborn into this body!”

The color in Gu Siting’s eyes grew a few shades darker.

His thin lips pressed tightly into a straight line, and the atmosphere around him grew a few degrees colder as well.

Ming Yao thought he would get angry, but he seemed to forcefully suppress his emotions.

He raised his long, pale hand, his fingertips caressing her chin and the corner of her lips. Ming Yao tried to turn her head away, but he gripped her chin with his long fingers.

His thin lips drew near hers, his crisp masculine scent enveloping her, his deep and magnetic voice carrying a hint of temptation as he began to speak, “Look into my eyes and tell me, haven’t you felt anything for me these past few months?”

Ming Yao looked back into his dark eyes.

His eyes, like deep pools, were dark and dangerous, as though they possessed a force that could suck someone in deeply.

A shiver ran through Ming Yao’s heart.

“I…”

She had barely uttered a word when she heard his husky voice once again close to her ear, “When I kiss you, doesn’t your heartbeat quicken? When we make love, do you think of other men?”

Ming Yao, “…”

The man took her hand and placed it on his chest.

“To be honest, when I saw that letter where you confessed you had feelings for your Senior Brother, and even thought about having a beautiful future with him, I was very angry and jealous!”

“But after I calmed down, I realized that I have no right to control your past, a past I never took part in, as we were nothing but strangers to one another.”

“I have a past too, don’t I?”

Ming Yao, “…”

“You being reborn into this body and becoming Mrs. Gu shows that we’re fated! Your Senior Brother marrying another woman shows that you two had no fate.”

“I was not part of your past, but I want to be part of your present and future, refusing to let you go to anyone else!”

His gaze was resolute and profound.

His tone was domineering and wild.

Ming Yao’s heart raced uncontrollably.

He asked her whether her heart raced when he kissed her?

The answer was undoubtedly yes.

She liked his scent, so naturally, she didn’t dislike his kisses.

Her heart had indeed raced!

In the past, she and her Senior Brother were acknowledged as a couple, but their relationship was restrained by propriety and never went beyond the bounds of decency.

Her first kiss and her first time were both taken by the man before her!

Just as he said, when they made love, although she was under the influence of medication, she did not think of another man.

But…

She dared not throw herself into another relationship.

Having been hurt once, she understood that only by completely guarding her heart could she avoid being hurt again!

Besides, she felt that a woman didn’t necessarily need love. Isn’t it delightful enough to pursue a career and live well?

If he hadn’t confessed his past to her, her goal would have been to focus on her career and live well, waiting to get his “heart blood,” free from insomnia, and then become a carefree and independent queen—

However, while dreams are full, reality is a stark contrast!

Observing the changing expressions on Ming Yao’s face, Gu Siting’s thin lips drew close to hers, his voice husky and seductive, “Mrs. Gu, this mutual confession of ours perhaps isn’t a bad thing after all.”

He kissed the corner of her lips, his voice dropping lower and huskier, “Let’s get to know each other anew, with a different mindset, try to understand each other, and please give me a chance. Not too long, how about two months?”

“When your Senior Brother comes to pick you up, you can make your decision then. If you want to go with him, I will not stop you!”
