Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Falling Asleep to His Scent
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ming Yao was too lazy to support Gu Siting any longer.

She planned to clean up the dining room and return to the servant room, suddenly realizing that his coat, which she had held for three days, had lost much of his scent. She would need to get another piece of his clothing tonight.

Thinking of the suit jacket he had changed out of and left on the sofa, Ming Yao decided to go get it.

Upon leaving the dining room, she discovered that the man had not gone upstairs but was leaning against the hallway wall, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, eyelids drooping, looking uncomfortable.

Perhaps hearing footsteps, he lifted his eyelids and shot Ming Yao a glance.

“You’re so ugly, you should have the self-awareness not to harbor those kinds of thoughts toward your employer,” he extended his hand towards her, “Help me upstairs.”

High and mighty, like an emperor waiting to be served by his maid.

Ming Yao internally scoffed.

She had never seen such a dog of a man who clearly needed her yet looked down on her!

Forget it, considering he could treat her insomnia, she decided to be more tolerant and not fuss over it.

Ming Yao stepped forward and helped the man walk upstairs.

By the time she got him to his room, she was sweating profusely.

The man did not settle down after lying on the bed.

He had a severe obsession with cleanliness and could not sleep at night without bathing and changing clothes, even if he was completely drunk.

As Ming Yao prepared to turn around and leave, her slender wrist was suddenly grasped by the man.

“Fill the bathtub with water, I want a bath.”

Ming Yao tried to pull her hand back, but the man only gripped tighter.

His fingers closed in, his warm and dry palm pressing tightly against her skin.

Ming Yao took out a Silver Needle and quickly jabbed it into his hand.

The pain seemed to register with the man, forcing him to let go of Ming Yao.

“If you don’t want to be fired tomorrow, do as I command…”

Ming Yao crossed her arms and silently rolled her eyes.

Sick of dealing with him, she went downstairs.

After tidying up the messy dining room, Ming Yao slipped on the man’s suit jacket that he had left on the sofa.

As she smelled its scent, her eyelids grew heavy.

“Run the bath water, do you hear me?”

“Aunt Zhong?”

“Steward Zhong?”

“Gu Fuzhen?”

Ming Yao’s drowsiness was completely shattered by the man’s sudden increase in volume.

What, you’ll die if you don’t bathe?

Such a dog of a man with cleanliness issues was truly rare!

Not wanting to be bothered by him all night, and even less wanting to be fired by him in the morning, Ming Yao had no choice but to go back upstairs to the bedroom.

The man was propped against the headboard, his shirt unbuttoned to reveal a sexy collarbone and a firm chest.

Good heavens!

What a dangerously attractive dog of a man!

Although Ming Yao wasn’t lecherous, she couldn’t help swallowing her saliva unconsciously.

“Gu Fuzhen, what are you looking at, is the water ready?” the man, with drunken eyes, glared at her.

“It’ll be right there.”

She ran the water in the bathtub for him.

Just as she was about to go call him, the man staggered in.

And then, with a retching sound–

Ming Yao, “…” To hell with it!

Unable to handle him alone, she reluctantly called the duty officer from the security room to come over.

The duty officer changed the man’s clothes for him, and once he was clean and lying quietly in bed, the commotion finally stopped.

Ming Yao wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, swearing that from now on, she would never stay with this man when he was drunk again.

It was too terrifying!

After Ming Yao cleaned up in the servant room, she exploded on the spot with anger when she remembered the man’s suit jacket, which he had vomited on.

To fall asleep that night, she had to swallow her pride and seek out the dog of a man himself!

The man lay quietly in bed with his eyes tightly shut, though his long eyebrows were slightly knitted.

Ming Yao stood beside the bed and quietly observed him.

The orange glow of the wall lamp was reflected on the man’s sharply defined face, as if coated in a warm halo.

His eyelashes covered his eyes and were even longer than a woman’s, with a high nose bridge and clearly defined, seductive lips.

If only he could change his personality, he might be quite attractive to dine on.

Ming Yao leaned in closer; his scent was to her liking.

Ming Yao pulled up a chair and nestled beside the bed, falling asleep to his scent.

However, as she slept, the room temperature dropped lower and lower during the early morning hours, and unconsciously, she moved towards the warmth of the bed covers.
