Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon's Reluctant Love

But before he could touch her, she pushed him away with an outstretched hand.

She handed the perfume to him, "I hope you like the gift I'm giving you."

"Yaoyao, I naturally like anything you give me."

Ming Yao tossed her long hair, yawned lazily, and started walking down the stairs.

"Yaoyao, why are you leaving? I still have things to say to you!" Xiao Yixuan wanted to chase after Ming Yao, but at that moment, a buzzing sound erupted.

A dense swarm of something flew towards Xiao Yixuan.

Only when it got close did he realize it was a swarm of bees.

Xiao Yixuan screamed in terror, flailing his arms in an attempt to scatter the bees, but they couldn't be dispersed.

The bees did not sting anyone else, only Xiao Yixuan.

Xiao Yixuan panicked and ran all over the place.

But no matter what, he couldn't escape the swarm of bees.

His face was stung countless times until, at last, pain forced him to the ground.

He wanted to call out to Ming Yao for help, but Ming Yao had already boarded a sports car.

Wearing sunglasses, her delicate features were accentuated, and as she lowered the car window, the breeze stirred her long hair. She slowly turned her head and glanced at him.

Her lips curved slightly, her entire presence fierce and fiery.

Just as the car was about to start, he saw her nonchalantly give him the middle finger.

Xiao Yixuan clutched his swollen face, which resembled a steamed bun, rolling on the ground in agony.

He didn't understand what went wrong, why Ming Yao, who always obeyed him, had undergone such an earth-shattering change in attitude toward him?

Ming Yao didn't pay any attention to Xiao Yixuan. She stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car sped away.

Back at the hotel, she took a bath and planned to catch up on some sleep.

She was typically aloof, arrogant, lazy, and sloppy, staying indoors for weeks when not on a mission.

Later, her insomnia became more severe, and she would spend nearly the entire day in her lab.

Unfortunately, she died without ever finding a cure for her insomnia.

Having a second chance at life, she planned to make up for all the sleep she'd missed before.

She felt somewhat sleepy, but once she lay down in bed, she couldn't fall asleep at all.

The agonizing insomnia from before her death seemed to slowly creep back.

How could this be?

Didn't she sleep through the night until dawn yesterday?

Why would she still suffer from insomnia?

Could it be because she had slept enough last night, and didn't need to sleep during the day?

Ming Yao sat cross-legged on the bed, took out her phone, and logged into her Snow Fox account.

There were several unread emails in her inbox.

Some were from two Senior Brothers from Tang Sect, and some were from that person.

Thinking of that person, a shadow flickered through Ming Yao's beautiful eyes.

As the email notification sounded, Ming Yao saw that her Junior Brother, Jing Hang, had sent her an email.

[Senior Sister, did you really die? I don't believe it, I refuse to believe it, you must still be alive!]

Ming Yao, thinking of that silly Junior Brother, couldn't help but snicker.

She replied with an email: [I am indeed still alive.]

Jing Hang: [Holy shit, Senior Sister, have you turned into a zombie?]

Ming Yao sent Jing Hang a phone number, and within seconds, Jing Hang called her.

The Tang Sect base was in Europe, so it was an overseas call.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Jing Hang said, "Senior Sister, what exactly happened? The S organization sent a video of your body being cremated. Senior Brother was furious, beheaded the leader of the S organization, just to avenge you! And you are actually still alive?"]

Compared to Jing Hang's excitement, Ming Yao was much more calm.

She told him about her rebirth and instructed Jing Hang not to tell anyone else.

She didn't want to return to Tang Sect anymore.

"Senior Sister, is it because Senior Brother is getting married to..."

"Shut up, he has nothing to do with it! All I want is to live a simple life now!"

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything, but can I sneak to Li City in Country C to see you?"

"Not for now."

"Oh, by the way, the new Person in Charge of the Gu Family in Country C seems to be collecting your information on the dark web. He wants you to treat his good brother's illness, I heard he offered a high price!"

The new Person in Charge of the Gu Family?

Her legal husband?

Thinking of the tyrant who almost strangulated her last night, causing her neck to still ache, she didn't have a single good impression of him.

"Xiao Jing, isn't the divine doctor fox already dead?"

Jing Hang was taken aback, "Yeah, Senior Sister, do you still have insomnia? I hope that in your new life, you won't be killed by insomnia again. You are so strong, and the underworld doesn't believe you died from insomnia!"

Ming Yao, "..."

That evening, Ming Yao ran five kilometers, got back to the hotel, and did a series of exercises. After taking a bath, she lay on her bed to sleep.

Logically, she should have fallen asleep.

But tossing and turning, eyes open, she just couldn't sleep.

Ming Yao tapped her head, her delicate eyebrows tightly knit together.

Was the Almighty playing such a trick on her?

Giving her a second life yet still damning her with severe insomnia?

With poor sleep, Ming Yao became extremely irritable.

She knocked the pillow and the telephone on the bedside table to the floor.

If things continued like this, she would be destined to die again in seven days!

Just then, the doorbell rang.
