Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon's Reluctant Love-Chapter 222 - 221 She Sat Directly in His Arms

Chapter 222: Chapter 221: She Sat Directly in His Arms Chapter 222 -221: She Sat Directly in His Arms Facing the gazes of the crowd, Ming Yao showed not the slightest hint of timidity.

Letting everyone in the private room size her up from head to toe.

Her red evening gown accentuated her slim and perfect figure, delicate collarbones, and graceful neck. The red worn on her was not vulgar at all but instead more brilliant and unrestrained, like a blooming red rose.

Her slightly curled long hair was tossed over one shoulder, skin fair and beautiful, lips red and teeth white.

The woman sitting beside Director Jih had also attended the audition today, only she hadn’t made it through. After trying various methods and learning that Director Jih would be here tonight, she came through her connections.

Thinking that if she could get Director Jih used to seeing her, even if it was for a minor role in his movie, she would be willing.

Seeing Ming Yao approaching, the woman thought she was also there for Director Jih.

Because she saw Director Jih slightly frown, clearly somewhat displeased.

“Director Jih, I’ll throw her out for you!”

Before Director Jih could say anything, the woman stood up and walked toward the door of the private room.

“The lead role for ‘Peerless’ has already been decided, your coming here is useless, so you better leave quickly if you know what’s good for you!”

Ming Yao curled her red lips, “Who said I’m here for Director Jih?”

“Who else would you be here for?” Everyone present belonged to Li City’s upper society, significant figures; how could a small-time 18th-tier actress like her recognize anyone else?

If she did, surely she could have landed some small role in Director Jih’s film.

Ming Yao turned her gaze towards the man sitting in the private room who had not looked up at her since she entered.

The man’s aura was the most striking, lofty and indifferent, definitely “keep away from strangers”; the women in the private room didn’t dare get close to him.

Under the dim light, his features appeared as if they had been meticulously sculpted by a master craftsman, handsome and perfect.

Ming Yao pointed at the man, “There, the person I’m looking for is right there.”

The woman followed where Ming Yao pointed and saw she was referring to Fourth Master Gu, her eyes widening slightly.

Earlier she had seen even Director Jih being very respectful towards that man, so it was obvious that he was the most powerful and imposing among the men in the private room.

He wore a finely textured and exquisite black shirt, with fingertips holding a cigarette, the curling smoke creating a barrier of cold indifference that kept people at bay.

Seeing Ming Yao heading straight for Fourth Master Gu, the woman wanted to stop her but it was already too late.

It was rumored that Fourth Master Gu kept women at a distance; anyone who approached him could be sent flying with a kick.

The clueless young actress would surely be abused miserably by him!

Ming Yao, in her high heels, had already walked up behind Gu Siting.

Yanxi and Fu Yunshen, who knew of her relationship with Gu Siting, watched this scene without change in expression; whereas Director Jih, witnessing such a sight, was greatly shocked.

What was this girl Ming Yao trying to do?

She wasn’t here for him?

She had gone to stand behind Fourth Brother—could it be—

Director Jih remembered the words Yan Youling had said, his brows furrowing deeply.

Honestly, he had little respect for the kind of small actresses who tried to seduce sponsors to climb the ladder.

Ming Yao leaned forward slightly, wrapping her arms around the man’s neck from behind.

Director Jih watched Ming Yao’s boldness, feeling disdain while at the same time sweating for her.

In the next second, Fourth Brother would probably break her wrist, right? He remembered the last time a woman tried to get close to Fourth Brother and ended up with a broken wrist.

However, after waiting a few seconds, Director Jih saw the man extinguish his cigarette and then grab the woman’s hands around his neck, his dark, cold eyes showing a trace of affection, “Aren’t you supposed to be working late?”

“Can’t I miss you?” She rested her chin on the man’s shoulder, her smile brimming.

The private room fell into an instant silence.

Even Yanxi and Fu Yunshen, who were aware of their relationship, couldn’t help but get goosebumps.

Director Jih’s eyes widened in shock.

Fourth Brother had been seduced by Ming Yao?

God, Jih Feng could hardly imagine that his Fourth Brother was actually captivated by a minor artist!

Had Fourth Master forgotten he had a wife?

Gu Siting’s slender, fair fingers gently caressed Ming Yao’s palm. “Do you want to play a few rounds?”

Ming Yao saw that everyone was staring at her in amazement, especially Jih Feng, as if looking at some kind of vixen. Her red lips curved into a smile, “Sure.”

Gu Siting raised his hand, instructing the waiter to bring a chair over, but the next second, Ming Yao stopped him, “No need to move one, I’ll just sit in your lap.”

The crowd, “…”

Ming Yao moved to the man’s side and directly sat down on his thigh.

The man, dignified and indifferent, not only didn’t refuse, but his thin lips even lifted into a faint smile.

Jih Feng was on the verge of his jaw dropping to the floor.

Could it be that Fourth Brother had been bewitched?

Jih Feng simply couldn’t stand it any longer. He couldn’t watch idly as his Fourth Brother fell into ruin, in violation of morality.

“Fourth Brother, aren’t you going to introduce us?”

Gu Siting barely opened his lips, “My wife, Ming Yao.”

Except for Yanxi and Fu Yunshen, the others in the private room were shocked once more.

Especially Jih Feng, he simply couldn’t believe his ears.

What, what? The little vixen sitting in Fourth Brother’s lap is not some sugar daddy’s canary but the wife that Fourth Brother has kept a secret in a covert marriage?

Jih Feng glanced at Yanxi and Fu Yunshen, who both seemed quite calm, as if it was nothing out of the ordinary. His mind was muddled for a few seconds before he came to his senses.

“My God, Miss Ming isn’t Fourth Brother’s kept canary, but the wife he’s been hiding and hasn’t brought out before?”

Gu Siting, with his arm around Ming Yao’s slender waist, spoke in a deep and cold voice, “You were abroad recently, I haven’t had the chance to introduce her to you.”

Jih Feng, “…”

Ming Yao, with a smile brimming in her eyes, looked at Jih Feng, “Director Jih, I want to know, where did I lose out in today’s audition?”

Jih Feng shivered suddenly.

Was sister-in-law here to settle scores?

Gu Siting slightly lifted his eyelids, “You went to audition for Jih Feng’s film this afternoon?”

Ming Yao uttered a soft “Mhm,” “I remember Director Jih being quite satisfied at the scene, but then he still chose Qin Lianyi. I want to know the reason I lost.”

Jih Feng’s forehead broke out in cold sweat.

He glared at Yanxi.

Yanxi looked innocent, “Fengzi, why are you glaring at me?”

“It’s all because of your sister, telling me that Ming Yao wanted to climb up the ranks, seducing Fourth Master. She knows how much I hate people who try to get ahead by pulling strings!”

Yanxi, “…”

Gu Siting’s black eyes swept towards Yanxi with a chilling sharpness, “If you can’t control your sister well, and she dares to bother my wife again, I don’t mind disciplining her for you.”

Yanxi’s scalp tingled.

“I’ll go back and give her a talking-to right away.” Yanxi said and then, with a playful smile, turned to Ming Yao, “Sister-in-law, I apologize for my sister’s behavior!”

Ming Yao waved her hand dismissively, “The real troublemaker isn’t you, nor your sister.”

Yanxi was puzzled, “Then who is it?”

Ming Yao’s gaze shifted, landing on the man in front of her, “Him.”

Gone was the previously brimming joy as she huffed lightly and stood up from the man’s lap, “I won’t disturb your fun any longer, I have things to do, I’ll be going now.”

The crowd, “…”

They had never seen someone turn their face faster than flipping a book!
