Chapter 179: Possessive

Translator: _Min_

Reflecting on the harrowing scene that had just unfolded, Su Ting finally exhaled, but he couldn’t help but express his concern: “Sis, what you did was incredibly risky. What if something had gone wrong, like it did years ago? You’ve only just come back…”

As he spoke, Su Ting’s eyes reddened, barely holding back tears.

Seeing Su Ting’s emotional state, Gu Dai quickly reassured him, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything like that again. And if 1 do, it will only be after ensuring my own safety.”

Upon hearing Gu Dai’s promise, the tears that had been circling Su Ting’s eyes retreated. However, his heart continued to pound uncontrollably.

He couldn’t bear to think what might have happened had he not arrived in time.

Noticing Su Ting’s lingering apprehension, Gu Dai took it upon herself to offer further comfort.

Song Ling watched Gu Dai intently, his expression growing colder with each passing moment.

Noticing Song Ling’s demeanor, Zhou Ci leaned in and whispered, “Jealous?”

With a disdainful snort, Song Ling retorted, “Why would I be jealous?”

Zhou Ci grinned and said, “Well, if you’re not jealous, that’s good news for me. It means 1 can pursue Gu Dai without any reservations. Even if you were, my resolve wouldn’t change just because of your thoughts.”

Song Ling’s hands involuntarily clenched at his sides. He glared at Zhou Ci, gritting his teeth as he said, “1 don’t see what’s so special about Gu Dai.”

Unfazed by Song Ling’s evident hostility, Zhou Ci didn’t immediately answer his question. Instead, he tilted his head and remarked, “You didn’t try to stop the cart earlier. You must have thought Gu Dai would dodge it, so you rushed out to try and sweep her aside. But you didn’t expect her to actually push the cart, did you?”

Song Ling was stunned, caught off guard by Zhou Ci’s insight.

Observing Song Ling’s stunned expression, Zhou Ci coolly added, “See? You really don’t understand Gu Dai at all.”

A pang of discomfort settled in Song Ling’s heart. He couldn’t quite grasp why he had instinctively wanted to save Gu Dai earlier. Trying to deflect Zhou Ci’s assertion, he retorted, “That’s just your speculation!”

Undeterred, Zhou Ci simply smiled and said, “Alright, alright, it’s all my speculation.”

Annoyed by Zhou Ci’s demeanor, Song Ling snapped back, “You may like Gu Dai, but you can’t compare to Su Ting, the model. After all, he’s willing to cry and put on a vulnerable act, calling her ‘sis’ like some manipulative charmer.”

Zhou Ci glanced over at Su Ting and Gu Dai, then grinned as he replied, “Now, I think 1 can answer your earlier question. You asked me what I saw in Gu Dai. The answer is, 1 see something special in every part of her. You may find her ordinary, but to me, she’s extraordinary.”

Zhou Ci elaborated, “What 1 mean is, my affection for her is quite accommodating. Even if she loves someone else, 1 will respect her choices. If she doesn’t end up loving me, that’s alright too, as long as she’s happy.”

Scoffing, Song Ling found Zhou Ci’s reasons absurd. To him, love was about possession; willingness to let go merely indicated a lack of true affection.

Possession…

As he pondered the word, Song Ling froze, recalling his own possessive behavior towards Gu Dai. A nagging thought crept in: could it be that I’ve falling for her?

Shaking off the notion, Song Ling vehemently denied it in his mind.

No, its impossible. How could he be attracted to a woman like Gu Dai?

His possessive tendencies were simply a temporary adjustment period, a reaction to seeing his former spouse in the arms of another. With time, he believed that such scenes would no longer stir any emotional upheaval within him.

Having sorted out his thoughts, Song Ling put his internal debate to rest. Noticing that Gu Dai and Su Ting were still engrossed in each other, he finally broke the silence, “Is all this fuss really necessary when she’s not even hurt?”

Upon hearing Song Ling’s comment, Su Ting turned his gaze toward him.

The warmth he’d shown Gu Dai was gone, replaced by icy detachment. “I saw it with my own eyes; it was your sister, Song Yu, who knocked over the waiter, causing the cart to roll away.. Shouldn’t you be bringing her here to apologize?”
