Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 591 - 588: He Closed His Heart

Chapter 591: Chapter 588: He Closed His Heart

Ming Yao stood by the car window, staring at the man’s cold and hard lines that didn’t compromise his handsomeness. Her nose suddenly felt sour.

The last time she saw him, it was just a fleeting glimpse.

This time, she truly saw him.

More than a month had passed, feeling like several centuries.

Compared to before the accident, he seemed to have lost some weight, with facial contours becoming more cold and harsh, his hair not combed upwards as usual, but with bangs falling over, slightly obscuring those long, deep black eyes.

He sat there, his rosy thin lips tightly pursed, like a statue devoid of any emotional warmth, freezing, frigid, aristocratic.

Ming Yao’s hands, hanging by her side, unconsciously clenched into fists.

She stared at him intently, feeling a swelling around her eyes.

He had returned, safe and sound!

But now that he was back, it seemed there was something subtly different about him.

He seemed even colder and more indifferent than before.

Ming Yao looked at the man’s frosty demeanor and felt dizzy as if the world was spinning.

Before his accident, on the night he tricked her into drinking too much, he kissed her, held her, extremely close and intimate.

This past month, she worried about him daily, unable to eat, drink, or sleep properly, burning with anxiety inside.

She had struggled through the days waiting for his return, only to find him so indifferent.

Seeing that she remained silent, just staring at him, he turned his head to give her a sidelong glance.

That look was as if he was seeing a stranger, "What is it?"

Ming Yao gazed at the man’s handsome and profound features, her beautiful eyes gradually blurred by a layer of mist.

The man was very familiar, yet she felt an unprecedented sense of strangeness.

The man seemed to be growing impatient. He took out a cigarette and put it between his lips.

Amid the wafting smoke, his deep and indifferent gaze became even colder, "If you have something to say, say it. My time is very precious."

Ming Yao looked at the man who showed no intention of getting out of the car, her heart grasped as if by an invisible hand.

She closed her eyes, pushing back the mist that filled them, and after taking several deep breaths, her voice hoarse, she spoke, "Do you still remember me?"

She didn’t want to conclude that his abnormal behavior was because he no longer felt anything for her.

It had to be what Lu Zhou said, selective amnesia.

He had forgotten her.

If it was just forgetting, she could accept that.

Because he would one day remember!

"Some impression, you’re my ex-wife."

Ming Yao bit down hard on her lip, looking into the man’s eyes, dense as ink. Just as she was about to say something, she heard him speak coldly, "Being with you, I always encounter various troubles, Ming Yao, you are like a jinx to me."

"Because of you, I almost died. I thought after coming back and not looking for you, you would understand what I mean!"

Hearing the man’s words, Ming Yao’s heart plunged into the abyss.

She widened her eyes in disbelief, "You... what do you mean?"

The yacht exploded, he was clinging to life, nearly dying. Was he blaming all the responsibility on her?

Yes!

She had been blind to see the wrong person originally, which gave Si Ye the opportunity to take advantage of her!

"When a man becomes cold to a woman, I don’t believe you don’t understand what that means."

Ming Yao’s slender body swayed unsteadily.

The man parted his thin lips slightly, letting out a puff of smoke slowly, his handsome face appearing profoundly secretive under the pale blue smoke.

Ming Yao’s fingertips dug forcefully into her palm, "Gu Siting, you weren’t acting like this when you followed me to the yacht!"

The man flicked the ash from his fingertips, ignoring the hurt look in her eyes, "That’s because I hadn’t experienced the feeling of life and death in that moment, Ming Yao, the pain of having one’s vulnerability seized is too agonizing!"

"I would rather be heartless and unloving than to have my vulnerabilities exploited again!"

Hearing him say this, Ming Yao felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness wash over her.

"What about Si Ye? What exactly happened on the yacht? Why did it explode?"

Upon hearing Ming Yao mention Si Ye, the man’s expression turned extremely ugly in an instant.

"A person who wanted my life, do you think I could let him stay alive?" A hint of brutal coldness flashed through his deep eyes.

Ming Yao, looking at the cold and unfeeling man before her, felt an immense sense of estrangement.

Seeming not to want to talk to her anymore, he gave her a cold glance, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Deep down, she had so much she wanted to say to him, but seeing his frosty brows and his distant and indifferent attitude, her throat felt parched.

All that needed to be said had been said by him; what more could she add?

Not wanting to have any vulnerabilities again, so, he intended to cast her out of his heart’s door—

Before the incident, how much she had hoped that the two of them would no longer be entangled ambiguously, but after such an event, she found that her feelings for him were still very deep.

Especially when the two of them were taken onto the helicopter, their legs gently touching each other, she felt an indescribable sense of security and dependence.

At that time, she thought to herself that if they could escape this ordeal safely, she would not let go of his hand so easily again!

But little did she know, fate made a cruel joke, and he had closed off his heart once more!

...

Ming Yao kept comforting herself that as long as he was alive, his attitude towards her didn’t matter. One day, the old Gu Siting would return.

She immersed herself in work every day, and during this time, she even took Little Orange back to Tang Sect to visit Xiao Yiyi.

Xiao Yiyi, seeing the much thinner Ming Yao, scowled and glared at Little Orange, "Didn’t you say that everything was fine over there? Why has Mommy become so thin?"

Mommy had lost weight, and Little Orange felt extremely heartbroken too.

The image of Trashy Dad had finally started to improve in her heart, and recently, it had reverted to that of Trashy Dad again.

She didn’t understand what had happened between the adults; Trashy Dad seemed to like her mommy, but ever since the yacht trip, everyone seemed to have changed.

Every time she asked what had happened, they wouldn’t tell her, making her a little depressed as well.

"Brother, the world of adults is too complicated, I think it’s better to be a child."

Xiao Yiyi knocked on Little Orange’s head lightly, "Are you going back then? Why not just stay on the island so you don’t worry Mommy!"

"Brother, I’ve already started school there, when are you coming to join me? Beautiful Grandma is very nice to me. Her health isn’t very good, so I want to stay and accompany her," said Little Orange, tilting her head and speaking in an adorably milky voice, "Although Trashy Dad is not so good, everyone else is quite nice. Brother, you must come over during the holidays!"

Xiao Yiyi had no interest in the outside world, but still, he had to make some time to meet Trashy Dad!

Always causing his mommy sadness, he needed to teach him a lesson with his little fists!
