Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon's Reluctant Love

"Brother Yixuan, no matter whether my sister can get a share of the property from the divorce or not, when you need money, I will give you all I have to help you!"

Xiao Yixuan was the illegitimate child of the Xiao Family. He wanted to acquire shares of the Xiao Family's company to secure a position within the family.

But acquiring shares required a substantial amount of capital, so he had to rely on the part of the property that Ming Yao would get from her divorce.

Given Fourth Master Gu's current net worth, Ming Yao should be able to receive billions from the divorce.

Xiao Yixuan looked at the tender and soft Ming Wan, and said indulgently, "Wanwan, I don't need your money! Your sister is deeply in love with me, dreaming about sleeping with me; once I fulfill her wish, she will obediently give me the divorce money!"

Xiao Yixuan had a pure and handsome face, the very image of a fresh-faced idol. After entering the entertainment industry, he won many fans with just one ancient costume drama.

His face was indeed popular with the girls!

Ming Yao heard the conversation between Xiao Yixuan and Ming Wan, put away her phone, and yawned lazily.

The only thing that's valuable about Xiao Yixuan is probably that face of his!

She's deeply in love with him, dreams of sleeping with him, right?

Fine, then she'll destroy that face he's so proud of!

Ming Yao made a trip to the flower market and then to an upscale mall.

She went to Purple Gold Park, where she and Xiao Yixuan usually had their secret meetings.

Xiao Yixuan seemed certain that Ming Yao would come to the appointment. He dressed in a suit and styled his hair like a pretty boy, and when he saw Ming Yao, a self-assumed dashing smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Yaoyao, you've come!"

As Ming Yao approached and he got a clear look at her makeup-free face, Xiao Yixuan was slightly taken aback.

Ming Yao was undeniably dazzling and beautiful.

Her eyes were like phoenix wings, delicate and upturned. Her dainty nose, crimson lips, and the mole beneath her eye that suggested unspoken emotions—every contour and every feature highlighted her stunning beauty.

At a glance, her appearance was that of an unscrupulous vixen.

Xiao Yixuan had heard that even before Ming Yao married Fourth Master Gu, she had a rather promiscuous and disgraceful reputation, with a nickname akin to 'public bus' in both school and the entertainment circle.

For such a woman, Xiao Yixuan had considerable contempt in his heart.

Yet, even with her bad reputation, as long as Ming Yao didn't wear heavy makeup to mar her beauty, there would always be plenty of suitors around her.

Xiao Yixuan hadn't gotten his hands on her sizable post-divorce fortune yet, so naturally, he didn't want Ming Yao to be too sought after.

So, he encouraged her to uglify herself under the pretense that he loved her too much and didn't want to see her attracting other men's attentions.

Ming Yao had always listened to him, but after last night, she seemed to have changed—

Suppressing the displeasure in his heart, Xiao Yixuan's eyebrows knitted slightly as he said, "Yaoyao, why did you remove your makeup? And did something to your hair?"

Ming Yao looked at the pretentious Xiao Yixuan, twirled her hair with her fingertip, and her red lips curved into a careless smile, "Doesn't this look good?"

"It's not that it doesn't look good, but didn't I tell you before? Your beauty is too dazzling; I'm afraid other men will steal you away."

The smile on Ming Yao's lips deepened, "You're so handsome, how could any other man compare to you?"

Ming Yao pulled out an elegantly packaged box, "Here, this is for you."

Xiao Yixuan looked down and his eyes revealed a hint of delight.

It was a limited edition bottle of Gucci pour Homme perfume.

Ming Yao opened the perfume and sprayed some onto Xiao Yixuan, "Do you like the scent?"

The high-quality fragrance mixed with a faint floral aroma was indeed pleasant.

Xiao Yixuan looked at the woman before him; her bright and watery face was adorned with a blush of laughter, and the mole near her eye, in such a smile, seemed enchanting and alluring.

A stunning beauty, indeed!

Actually, spending a night with her wouldn't be a loss for him!

Whether it was the breeze that wafted the enchanting scent of the perfume or her lazy, charming smile, Xiao Yixuan couldn't help but reach out, wanting to pull her into his arms for a kiss.
