Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 632 - 629: Self-obsessed Jerk

Chapter 632: Chapter 629: Self-obsessed Jerk

"Wen Yuci is already a thing of the past, she’s not that important in my heart anymore,"

Fu Yunshen said indifferently, picked up the glass, and poured the alcohol down his throat aggressively.

Everyone in the private room could tell that Fu Yunshen’s words didn’t match his true feelings, but no one called him out on it!

Gu Siting and Jih Feng drank quite a few glasses with Fu Yunshen.

Apart from Jih Feng, the mood of the other two men didn’t seem too wonderful.

Jih Feng lifted his eyebrows, "Fourth Brother, if you want Beauty Ming to notice you, isn’t that easy? Wait a minute, I’ll call her and tell her you’re drunk and some beauty is trying to take advantage of you!"

Gu Siting coldly spat out a word with his thin lips, "Scram! Always coming up with shitty ideas!"

Jih Feng, "..."

Half an hour later, Gu Siting still couldn’t resist calling Ming Yao.

But no one answered.

His mood grew even more gloomy and irritable.

As soon as Wen Yuci returned, she occupied all of her thoughts.

Now she doesn’t even have time for a single call from him?

Gu Siting’s tongue touched his cheek, and a dangerous look flashed in his dark, narrow eyes.

He drank a few more glasses in a row, and even though he normally had a good tolerance for alcohol, perhaps due to his mood, he really was a bit tipsy.

Just then, the vibration of his phone rang out.

A call from Ming Yao.

"Fourth Brother, Beauty Ming didn’t answer your call earlier, show some backbone and don’t answer hers," Jih Feng said with a laugh.

Gu Siting leaned his tall frame against the back of the sofa and deftly unfastened the first three buttons of his shirt.

The phone rang several times, and he didn’t pick up.

Just when Jih Feng thought he really had the guts not to answer, Gu Siting still picked up the phone and stood up rapidly from the sofa, heading quickly outside.

With a snort, Jih Feng couldn’t hold back his laughter.

"Seeing each of you breaking your hearts over love, I’d better stay single for my whole damn life!"

Fu Yunshen cast a deep, phoenix-eyed glance at Jih Feng, "Don’t speak too soon."

"Old Fu, do I look like someone who’d give up the whole forest for one tree?" As a director, he’d seen countless beautiful women in the entertainment industry; ordinary women hardly caught his eye.

And besides, being single is great, it’s freeing, and you don’t suffer over anyone!

...

Gu Siting’s tall figure leaned against the wall outside the private room, one long leg slightly bent, with the dim light in the hallway casting a warm-colored halo on him, making him look incredibly noble and handsome.

He pressed the answer button, and a woman’s crisp voice came to his ear, "Siting, I just took a bath with Little Orange, did you call me?"

Originally, he had some doubts about her coldness toward him.

But as soon as he heard her voice, his sharp features unconsciously softened.

"Yaoyao, come to Night Bar to pick me up."

The moment he spoke, Ming Yao detected the drunkenness in his voice.

"Have you been drinking?"

The man’s eyes drooped slightly, his eyelashes long and dense, more beautiful than a woman’s, and he hummed low in affirmation.

"Should I come right now to pick you up?"

"Mhm." He added after a moment, "Come quickly, or your man might be coveted by another woman."

Ming Yao couldn’t help but laugh, "Mr. President sure has some charm."

"Good that you know it."

Damn narcissist!

Gu Siting was focused on talking to Ming Yao and didn’t notice that many people passing through the hallway were casting glances at him.

His slightly bowed head didn’t allow a full view of his face, but his superior, prominent nose and well-defined jawline highlighted his commanding presence.

He held a cell phone in one hand and shoved the other into his trouser pocket, standing there with an aloofness that suggested he was removed from the world and nobly indifferent.

But his whole presence also exuded a "keep away" vibe, making people hesitate to approach him easily.

After finishing the call, Gu Siting was about to head back to the private room.

Suddenly, the door to the private room opposite flung open, and a portly middle-aged man with a grip on a woman’s hair was violently dragging her into the room.

The woman clung desperately to the doorframe, refusing to go in with the middle-aged man.

"Damn it, a cripple playing hard to get? You should be grateful I even look your way; it’s the fortune of your past life!"

The woman’s chilling voice rose, "Sir, I’m just selling wine, not my body. Please let go!"

Smack!

As soon as the woman finished speaking, a harsh slap landed on her face from the man.

Using all her strength, she pushed against the man, but in doing so she lost her balance and fell onto the corridor floor.

Looking wretched, she had not yet managed to stand when the middle-aged man came over to grab her again.

The woman crawled forward until she reached a pair of shiny black leather shoes.

She lifted her head, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at the man before her, "Sir, please save me..." She couldn’t finish her plea when she recognized the man’s features, her heart skipping a beat.

"Fourth Master?"

Gu Siting was not the type who enjoyed playing the hero, his expression unchanged as he intended to walk past her to the private room, but then he heard her call out to him, "Fourth Master."

Gu Siting halted his steps, his dark eyes slightly narrowing as he turned toward the disheveled woman, whose face was mostly obscured by her hair.

The woman quickly brushed the strands of hair from her face.

Gu Siting recognized the woman almost immediately.

"Ling Xue."

Ling Xue was the only female member of the Dark Cabinet, and after he became President, he once sent her on a mission that ended in failure and she never returned.

He had people search for her, but they found nothing.

Ling Xue’s lips trembled slightly, "It’s me, Fourth Master."

The middle-aged man charged up to Ling Xue, seizing her long hair again, "You little tramp, I saw you first, don’t even think of running away—"

The man hadn’t finished speaking when Gu Siting lifted his leg and kicked him away harshly.

The middle-aged man fell to the ground, spitting out blood, and when he looked up angrily at Gu Siting,

he was about to say something, but upon seeing Gu Siting’s appearance, he froze in shock.

It was Mr. President?

From thin lips came a cold command from Gu Siting, "Get out!"

The middle-aged man was petrified, legs weak with fear, ignoring the pain in his body, he scrambled away as though fleeing.

Gu Siting reached out to help the bedraggled Ling Xue to her feet.

"You’re back in the capital, why didn’t you contact Ah Da?"

Ah Da was now the Pavilion Master of the Dark Cabinet.

Ling Xue knelt on one knee, her eyes downcast, with a hoarse voice she said, "I failed the mission you gave me last time, Fourth Master, and I was beaten until my legs were broken. I couldn’t bear to return."

"Ah Da has been feeling very guilty about your incident. You know how he feels about you."

"I no longer deserve him."

Gu Siting’s brows furrowed slightly, "I’ll call Ah Da now."

"Fourth Master, please don’t contact him. I’m a cripple now, and I can’t face him anymore," she objected.

Gu Siting’s lips pressed tightly together, "How come you’re working here selling wine?"

"My hands were also injured and have lost much of their strength. All my previous martial skills have been wasted. Other than selling wine in a bar, there aren’t many jobs available for a cripple like me."

Gu Siting slightly narrowed his bottomless black eyes, "Stand up for now."

Ling Xue stood up, but because she was unsteady on her feet, her body swayed precariously as she rose, looking as if she would fall again. Gu Siting swiftly reached out to steady her.

Ming Yao arrived at the scene just in time to witness Gu Siting supporting the young woman.
