Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Fourth Master Personally Came to Pick Her Up

After Shen Li explained the events of the previous night to him this morning, Gu Siting realized that he had misunderstood the little maid.

However, in his mind, even if he had misunderstood a little maid, there was no need for him to apologize personally or waste energy on her.

But now, his cat, his loyal servant, were both singing the little maid’s praises.

Thinking of the feast she had prepared and the care she had given him for nearly all night, Gu Siting recognized that he might have been somewhat excessive.

Considering her angry, restrained, and distressed expression as she turned to leave after being shouted at by him, his temples started to throb.

He became inexplicably irritable.

He lifted his long, fair fingers to press at his temples and said impatiently, “Call her, and tell her to come back and continue working.”

This was already the biggest concession he could make.

After all, they couldn’t expect him to apologize to her in person, could they?

She wasn’t worth that much face!

Seeing Gu Siting relent, Aunt Zhong’s face lit up with a smile. She hurriedly took out her phone to call Gu Fuzhen.

Ming Yao was already asleep.

With Gu Siting’s suit jacket, she wasn’t troubled by insomnia.

As she slept dazedly, her phone suddenly rang.

Her eyelids heavy, she didn’t even open her eyes but reached for the phone and said irritably, “Hello, who is this?”

Aunt Zhong on the other end of the phone was taken aback.

Huh?

Why didn’t the voice on the other end sound like Gu Fuzhen?

This voice sounded arrogant, wild, impatient–completely different from Gu Fuzhen’s gentle, kind, timid, and innocent voice!

“Is this Fujin?”

When Ming Yao heard Aunt Zhong’s voice, she instantly woke up.

What?

Aunt Zhong is calling her?

Ming Yao promptly opened her eyes and looked at the phone in her hand.

It was the phone she used while working as a maid in the Imperial Garden.

Any trace of sleepiness in Ming Yao’s mind vanished completely.

She took a deep breath and changed her voice to match that of Gu Fuzhen, “Aunt Zhong? I was a bit preoccupied just now, and someone helped me answer the call.”

So that was it.

No wonder it didn’t sound like Gu Fuzhen’s voice to her.

“Fujin, I’ve got good news for you. The Fourth Master has asked you to come back to work.”

Ming Yao rolled her eyes.

So, the bastard finally realized his mistake?

However, she was very tired now and didn’t plan on going there immediately.

“Alright, Aunt Zhong, I got it,” she responded.

Since Gu Fuzhen didn’t sound overly delighted, Aunt Zhong felt even more sympathy for her.

Aunt Zhong knew all too well how terrifying the Fourth Master could be when he lost his temper.

She must have been really hurt this morning when the Fourth Master mistakenly thought she had climbed into his bed on her own initiative.

“Fujin, come back now. I’ll ask Steward Zhong to pick you up,” suggested Aunt Zhong.

Before Ming Yao could say anything else, Aunt Zhong had hung up the call.
