Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon's Reluctant Love-Chapter 182 - 181: He Learned of Her Past and Crushed the Wine Glass

Chapter 182: Chapter 181: He Learned of Her Past and Crushed the Wine Glass

Ming Yao leaned on her office desk, looking at the tightly closed door. Her heart seemed to have been gently stung by a bee; at first, it was just a faint pain, but it slowly started to spread through her internal organs.

She propped her forehead on her palm and turned to look at the Paraiba Tourmaline Gemstone on the desk and the nine hundred and ninety colorful roses, a faint flush of red rising in her eyes.

After what felt like an eternity, she called Zhong Ling in.

With a voice slightly hoarse, she said, “Throw away the flowers!”

Zhong Ling widened her eyes, “Sister Yao, such beautiful flowers, all thrown away?”

“If you and the others like them, you can share with your colleagues.”

Seeing Ming Yao’s low spirits and recalling the gloomy and frosty look on Fourth Master’s face when he left, Zhong Ling had her suspicions.

Fourth Master gave Sister Yao such an expensive gift; how could the two of them still be unhappy with each other?

Zhong Ling didn’t dare to ask more and summoned Ling Xi. Together, they took the flowers and distributed them among the office colleagues.

Ming Yao put the Paraiba Tourmaline into a box and waited for Jing Hang to come so she could ask him to return it to the Tang Sect and that person.

…

Charm Bar.

Jing Hang was invited out by a few young masters.

“Jing Bro, check out my collection of wines.”

Jing Hang normally loved tasting wines. Seeing the fine wine in the young master’s hand, his peach blossom eyes immediately sparkled, “Not bad, brother. This must be over a hundred years old, right?”

“Jing Bro, want to try a glass?”

“Sure.”

The young master poured Jing Hang a glass; Jing Hang swirled the glass and then slightly tilted his head back, downing it in one gulp.

“Jing Bro, you can’t drink this wine too quickly; it’s easy to get drunk.”

“No problem, I won’t get drunk.” He asked the young master to pour him another glass.

He was well aware that he had done something wrong today and feared being scolded by his senior sister, so getting drunk was a good way to avoid it for a night.

The well-aged wine, just as the young master had said, was easy to intoxicate.

After several glasses, Jing Hang was already feeling tipsy.

“Jing Bro, I’ll get you a glass of water,” said the young master, getting up and leaving the booth. He looked up at the second-floor private room and made an OK gesture.

In the private room, Lu Zhou informed the man sitting on the sofa smoking about Jing Hang having drunk too much.

Gu Siting extinguished his cigarette butt and got up from the sofa, leaving the private room.

Jing Hang hadn’t expected to be so drunk after just a few drinks.

Shortly after, a glass of water was placed on the coffee table in front of him.

Jing Hang looked up at the man who had poured him the water.

The distinctly chiseled contour, the handsome and profound features, the lofty and distinguished demeanor.

He looks somewhat familiar!

“You are…?”

“I’m Ming Yao’s husband.”

“Oh, it’s Senior Sister’s husband in name; no wonder you looked familiar!”

Gu Siting leisurely poured two glasses of wine, handing one to Jing Hang, “Care for a drink?”

Jing Hang raised an eyebrow, “Sure, why not?”

Jing Hang drank another glass of wine.

The wine was too intoxicating, and after drinking too much, Jing Hang’s talkative nature started to show.

Looking at Gu Siting’s lofty and distinguished appearance, he clicked his tongue and smacked his lips, “Being able to be a husband to my senior sister, you must have saved the galaxy in your last life!”

Gu Siting’s slender fingertips toyed with the stem of the wineglass as his thin lips curled into a smile that was not quite a smile, “What, did many people like her before?”

“Of course, our senior sister is like a unique flower. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also talented. Ordinary women can’t compare to her, okay?”

Gu Siting narrowed his bottomless black eyes, “Including the Senior Brother who gave her the Paraiba Tourmaline?”

At the mention of Senior Brother, Jing Hang’s drunken peach blossom eyes revealed a hint of admiration. He leaned back on the sofa as if lost in memories, “It’s a pity that Senior Brother and Sister Yao didn’t end up together. They were a match made in heaven, with both talent and beauty. Anyone who saw them thought they were meant for each other.”

“My Senior Brother is like a celestial being, noble and capable, and Sister Yao is gorgeous and talented. They were the envied couple of countless people, if only…”

Gu Siting’s facial features subtly shifted, becoming sharp and fierce, “If only what?”

“One got married, and the other died.”

Gu Siting’s eyes became so dark that they seemed impenetrable to light. The veins on the back of his hand stood out as he tightened his grip on the stem glass, “Did your senior sister like him?”

“Of course she did. Don’t be fooled by how Sister Yao usually appears lazy and detached. She keeps her thoughts very deep. I used to think that Senior Brother liked her more, but when I found out that Senior Brother was getting married, Sister Yao cried secretly, heartbroken. Had I not accidentally seen her hiding and crying, I would have thought that she didn’t care…”

“That was the first time I saw Sister Yao crying so sincerely from the heart…”

Bang!

Jing Hang hadn’t finished speaking when the wine glass in Gu Siting’s hand suddenly shattered.

The sharp fragments pierced into his palm, and blood began to flow.

But he felt not even a trace of pain.

More painful than the sting in his palm was the sudden feeling of suffocation and sharp pain in his chest.

Xiao Yichen, Xiao Yixuan, they were just the people Ming Yao loved in the past.

He didn’t care.

But the real Ming Yao once had a man she liked.

It was the man who gave her the Paraiba Tourmaline.

Theirs was a love that had mutual devotion.

To what extent did their love develop?

Had they shared kisses, or been to bed together?

Not marrying the man she truly liked, was she devastated?

Gu Siting’s mind was suddenly filled with images that made him incredibly irritable.

Although that was her past, and it had passed with her death, she had accepted that valuable gift from his Senior Brother, and in doing so, his Senior Brother had indirectly expressed his feelings for her. He still cared about her!

Gu Siting felt as if he were truly wearing a cuckold’s horns.

In the past, he could be indifferent, but now, this cuckoldry made him so agitated that he felt like killing someone!

Gu Siting disliked this uncontrollable surge of emotion. His possessiveness and need to control her were now beyond his expectations.

He closed his deep black eyes, which had taken on a tinge of crimson, and struggled to contain his emotions. He raised his hand to call over Lu Zhou, “Take him back to the hotel to rest.”

Jing Hang had already collapsed onto the table, drunk.

Lu Zhou came over and helped Jing Hang up.

Jing Hang lifted his peach blossom eyes. With a hazy drunken gaze, he looked at Gu Siting, “If you dare to wrong me…” Jing Hang burped, and the mention of ‘Sister Yao’ got lost in the hiccup, “I won’t forgive you!”

A young master who was on good terms with Yanxi recorded this scene with a small video and sent it to Yanxi.

“Brother Yan, last time you asked me to keep an eye on that kid surnamed Jing, I finally got something today. He’s with Fourth Master.”

“He also said something, that if Fourth Master dares to wrong him, he won’t forgive Fourth Master.”

“Emma, is the rumor about Fourth Master’s homosexuality true? His face looks really foul right now, and he even smashed a wine glass. What happened between these two?”

“I’ve already imagined a ten-thousand-word epic of their love and hate!”

When Yanxi received the small video, he opened it and took a look.

Yan Youling heard the sound and leaned over to see.

Upon seeing the content of the video, she was shocked and her eyes filled with disbelief!
