Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Asking Her Out
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The incoming call was from a strange number.

Could it be from Tyrant Gu?

Ming Yao played coy for a moment, letting the phone ring several times before pressing the answer button.

A male voice came through the phone, “Yaoyao, you’ve finally decided to answer my call.”

Ming Yao took a few seconds to recall who the male voice belonged to.

Xiao Yixuan!

Had the injuries on his face healed already?

It shouldn’t be that fast, right?

Last time she had blacklisted his number, and now he had called using a different one.

“Yaoyao, I know you’re still angry at me for running away before your husband kicked down the door! You’ve already punished me. Can we make up now?”

Xiao Yixuan’s voice was very gentle, and his posture was very humble.

In the past, Ming Yao had been deceived by his comforting lies!

“Is there something you want?” Ming Yao asked coldly.

“Baby, the director, assistant director, and producer of ‘Stunningly Beautiful’ are in Li City. I’ve talked with them for a long time, and they’ve finally agreed to offer you the role of the third female lead.”

Ming Yao was widely recognized in the circle for her poor acting skills and she had the dream of becoming a star, so she only ever played unsightly roles.

The role of the third female lead in ‘Stunningly Beautiful’ was coveted by many actresses, and Xiao Yixuan thought Ming Yao would be overwhelmed with gratitude and rush into his arms upon hearing the news.

To his surprise, Ming Yao not only showed no interest, but she also yawned lazily, “So what?”

She actually asked him, so what?

In the past, even getting a minor insignificant role would have thrilled her. Now he had secured her a significant part as the third female lead and she showed no reaction at all?

Keeping tonight’s plan in mind, Xiao Yixuan continued his tender and affectionate offensive, “Yaoyao, I’ve used quite a few connections to get you this role. Director Feng and the others happen to be in Li City and want to meet you. Can you come out and see them?”

“Don’t worry, I will accompany you throughout the evening, Yaoyao baby. How about it, will you come? Once you do, you’ll see my sincerity!”

Ming Yao had intended to outright refuse, but from the tone of the scumbag, it seemed like he was determined to meet her tonight at all costs.

There must be something fishy going on.

Since Tyrant Gu hadn’t called her and she was bored on her own, she might as well see what nefarious ideas the scumbag had come up with!

“Okay.”

When Xiao Yixuan heard Ming Yao agree, he immediately felt a surge of excitement.

“Yaoyao, don’t put on heavy makeup tonight. Dress nicely. You know that the third female lead in ‘Stunningly Beautiful’ is a gorgeous demoness. You have to satisfy Director Feng and the others with your appearance.”

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll be eyed by a pack of wolves?”

Xiao Yixuan was taken aback, then said indulgently, “You are my woman. Director Feng and the others won’t do anything to you! Rest assured, I will protect you well and keep you from being tainted by the entertainment industry’s cesspool.”

Listening to Xiao Yixuan’s words, Ming Yao felt like vomiting.

She didn’t get all dressed up, just wore a pullover sweater with jeans, tied her long hair into a ponytail, and didn’t bother with makeup, just did whatever was comfortable.

Xiao Yixuan’s dinner party was at Yonghe Pavilion.

Once he confirmed Ming Yao was coming, he quickly called Ming Wan.

“Wanwan, bring uncle and auntie to Yonghe Pavilion’s Ruyi Private Room tonight; there’s going to be a good show.”

Ming Wan knew Xiao Yixuan was about to start his plan and said softly, “Brother Yixuan, are you sure? If you do that, my sister might be disappointed in you and never love you again!”

Xiao Yixuan snorted, “Who needs her love? Having her love would disgust me! Once the plan succeeds, not only will I get her divorce settlement, but I’ll also be able to control her, solving a problem for the Ming Family as well!”
