Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon's Reluctant Love-Chapter 214 - 213: She Left After Leaving a Divorce Agreement

Chapter 214: Chapter 213: She Left After Leaving a Divorce Agreement

Ming Yao didn’t know if leaving like this was the right thing to do, but she didn’t want to deceive him any longer.

She’d rather die another time than let him experience the hurt of being used and deceived again!

After staring at the man on the bed for a long time, Ming Yao got up and went to the study.

She drafted a new divorce agreement, signed it, left him a letter, and then silently left Imperial Garden.

In a few days, she might have to die another time.

Actually, being reborn in this body was also an advantage she had taken, wasn’t it?

She had lived quite a fulfilling life these past few months, with laughter and tears, but also with sweetness and joy.

Although there were still many things she hadn’t figured out, leading to some regrets, there was no other way!

Ming Yao drove to Autumn Water Studio and delegated some work via email.

Then she boarded a bus and left Li City.

She headed to Pingshan Village, to the hope school that Gu Siting had funded. She liked the clear mountains and green waters there; away from the urban hustle, the simple and tranquil environment could calm the heart.

When Gu Siting awoke, he instinctively reached out to embrace the woman by his side.

He remembered that last night she had lain with him in the same bed.

However, his hand found only emptiness.

He quickly turned his head to look beside him.

The space beside him was empty, no trace of a woman.

Gu Siting touched the pillow, which retained not the slightest warmth.

He suddenly sat up in bed, threw off the covers, prepared to get up, and his peripheral vision caught sight of something on the bedside table.

A divorce agreement and a letter.

On the last page of the divorce agreement, the woman’s name, Ming Yao’s name, had already been signed.

Gu Siting gripped the divorce agreement tightly, his knuckles turning white.

He didn’t look at it carefully but immediately tore it into pieces.

He picked up the letter, unfolded it, and looked down to read.

Mr. Gu:

By the time you read this letter, I will have already left Li City. Thank you for being honest about your past. I know how painful it is to reveal the scars within your heart, and I know that by telling me, you opened up to me, truly beginning to like me.

I am touched, but I am also afraid. To be honest, I did have feelings for Senior Brother before, and I thought I would become his wife. Just when I thought I had touched happiness, he married my junior sister.

The person who lived with me for more than twenty years, who was both a lover and a relative, could hurt and betray me in the blink of an eye. Honestly, I am also afraid that after investing in another relationship, I will be hurt again in the same way.

Don’t be misled by my carefree appearance, I also have moments of timidity and vulnerability. I don’t have the courage or audacity to develop another new relationship, and I don’t want to deceive you any longer!

Mr. Gu, I am truly sorry, this Little Swindler doesn’t deserve your fondness. Without me, you will definitely meet a woman who truly cares for you in the future!

Forget about me, and start over with your life!

Please take care.

Sincerely, Ming Yao

Reading the letter left by Ming Yao, Gu Siting’s handsome face tensed into a firm line.

His dark eyes became deep and sharp, as if a string in his heart was about to snap suddenly!

The meaning of this letter was actually very clear.

She stayed by his side, merely treating him as a tool to help her sleep.

She had once been scarred by a past relationship, and wouldn’t easily throw herself into another.

Had he not confessed his past to her, she might have continued to stay by his side, letting him be her sleep aid.

But he had confessed, and she didn’t want to see him get hurt again.

So, she left!

Gu Siting’s mind was somewhat chaotic, he clenched the letter tightly in his palm, and without even changing his clothes, he left the house in his pajamas.

Aunt Zhong and Steward Zhong were shocked to see Gu Siting leave the house in such a state.

They had never seen Fourth Master pay so little attention to his appearance.

Where was he going?

Before Aunt Zhong and Steward Zhong could even ask anything, Gu Siting had already driven off, speeding away.

He drove at top speed to a suburban cottage.

He pushed the door open and strode in.

Jing Hang, holding Little Snowball, came out of the house upon hearing the sound.

Seeing the travel-worn Gu Siting, he frowned, “Fourth Master, what’s happened?”

Little Snowball meowed twice at the sight of Gu Siting.

Gu Siting didn’t respond, he strode into the house.

“Mrs. Gu!”

“Ming Xiaoyao!”

“Ming Yao!”

No one answered him.

Jing Hang’s brows furrowed deeply, “Are you looking for my senior sister? She hasn’t come back!”

Gu Siting’s body leaned weakly against the wall, a suffocating heaviness and discomfort spreading in his chest!

He hadn’t expected that his confession would cause her such great psychological pressure!

Actually, even if she treated him as a tool to help her sleep, so what?

As long as she was still his Mrs. Gu!

As long as she was still by his side!

Jing Hang stepped up to Gu Siting, and seeing his tense and sharp profile, displayed anger in his peach blossom eyes, “Did you bully my senior sister again?”

Gu Siting pursed his lips and stayed silent, pulling out his phone and dialing her number again.

He had been calling her on his way to the suburban cottage, but it kept indicating that her phone was switched off.

After a while, he looked up at Jing Hang.

“Hasn’t she been in contact with you?”

Jing Hang’s eyes blazed with fury, “No! Fourth Master Gu, if anything happens to my senior sister, I won’t spare you!”

Jing Hang stuffed Little Snowball into Gu Siting’s arms, grabbed the car keys, and hurried out to search for Ming Yao.

Holding Little Snowball with one hand, Gu Siting used his other hand to call Lu Zhou.

“Check the Aviation Center, the Railway Center, and the Long-Distance Bus Center to see if the wife has any records of leaving Li City. Also check the citywide surveillance at the Traffic Management Center. We must find out where the wife has gone.”

After speaking with Lu Zhou, he called Yanxi and asked him to have people search the entire city for Ming Yao’s whereabouts.

After giving his instructions, Gu Siting drove to Xia Yiwan’s residence.

Xia Yiwan was getting ready to go to work when she stepped outside and saw the pajama-clad man with a light stubble on his jaw and red bloodshot eyes. She was startled.

In her memory, Fourth Master Gu always had a noble and haughty demeanor, meticulous and refined at all times. When had she ever seen him like this?

“Fo-Fourth Master?” It should be Fourth Master Gu, she wasn’t seeing things, right?

Father Xia and Mother Xia came from behind Xia Yiwan and heard her call the man Fourth Master. Both were taken aback.

“Wanwan, did you offend Fourth Master again?” They were still uneasy about the last time when Fourth Master’s assistant called, telling them to summon Xia Yiwan back home, or they would have to return to their hometown as farmers.

Now that Fourth Master had personally come to their door, had Yiwan done something even more offensive to anger Fourth Master?

“Fourth Master, may I ask what our Yiwan did to offend you again? She’s always so outspoken. If there’s anything she did wrong, we, her parents, apologize to you on her behalf!”

Gu Siting’s dark eyes stared piercingly at Xia Yiwan, “Where did Ming Yao go?”
