Chapter 36
She just praised me for being handsome
When Gu Dai heard the voice that had been haunting her like a nightmare and etched into her bones for three years, her movements subconsciously halted for a moment.
Then she lifted her head to look at Jiang Yue, and refused outright, “No.”
“Gu Dai, why are you so petty? You won’t even share a table?” After Song Ling heard that Jiang Yue was rejected, he comforted her by patting her head, then spoke out.
Su Ting’s eyes turned deadly. He looked up at Song Ling and said, “What, now the generous CEO Song can’t even afford to book a private room, and wants to leech off others? Moreover, this is my sister’s table. She has the right to refuse you, and yet you’re blaming her. Thinking about it this way, CEO Song, you’re the one that’s being petty. The title of being petty should be given to you.”
Gu Dai praised Su Ting for his eloquent speech in her mind, and she gave him a thumbs-up.
Song Ling did not expect Su Ting to be so articulate. Agitated by the words, his face turned red, and he said, flustered, “If it weren’t for the restaurant being full, why would we possibly come to share a table with you?”
Gu Dai laughed at how flustered Song Ling looked. She crossed her arms, and spoke in a light yet assertive voice, “If that’s the case, then you can leave! Or pay me a million dollars, and I’ll agree to let you sit here.”
Song Ling had no choice but to pay the million, because this was the restaurant Jiang Yue wanted to eat at. However, as he paid, he couldn’t help but say, “Gu Dai, I see you’ve been obsessed with money. Not only did you split away several billion from me during the divorce, but you’ve also found a rich man after divorcing me.”
As soon as Song Ling uttered the first word, Gu Dai’s eyebrows furrowed. She could hardly stand it and wanted to speak, but at that moment, Su Ting held her back and softly said to her, “Sister, let me handle this.”
Gu Dai was taken aback, then subconsciously agreed to him, “Okay.”
When Su Ting faced Song Ling, his entire demeanor changed. He was no longer the little lamb he seemed to be in front of Gu Dai.
He said coldly, “I don’t think I’m a rich man. Moreover, I remember telling you that I willingly stayed by my sister’s side. I don’t know if it’s because you have a bad memory, or because you’ve stood up and forgotten the pain, wanting to experience what happened last night again?”
Song Ling, who was already seriously injured, was in a wheelchair this morning because he had just come out of the hospital and needed to rest. But now, hearing Su Ting’s words, the shameful scene from last night seemed to resurface in his mind.
A trace of hatred surfaced in Song Ling’s eyes, but he was also afraid to experience what happened last night again, especially in front of Yueyue.
He subconsciously looked up at Gu Dai, and saw that she was just staring blankly at Su Ting, her eyes seemingly sparkling with stars. Song Ling’s hand slowly clenched into a fist at the scene.
Gu Dai, on the other hand, was surprised by the huge change in Su Ting in such a short time.
Although she knew that Su Ting was not as obedient as he appeared in front of her, she was still shocked by the way he acted now.
When Su Ting saw Gu Dai’s reaction, he became uneasy. He resumed his lamb-like demeanor, nervously asking, “Sister, did I scare you…”
Gu Dai felt that if she said she was scared, Su Ting might immediately burst into tears.
And wouldn’t Su Ting crying be a sight to behold?
Although Gu Dai had such a “perverse” thought, she had no intention of making it happen. Besides, she was not scared at all, and actually found him exceptionally handsome!
Since Gu Dai felt this way, she directly shared her thoughts, “I thought you were incredibly handsome just now!”
When Su Ting heard Gu Dai’s words, he was astonished. The single sentence kept repeating in his mind: Sister just praised me for being handsome…
With that sentence playing over and over in his mind, Su Ting’s ears grew redder and redder, slowly spreading to his face.
His eyes became misty from the heat, and he appeared dazed and confused, like a little deer lost in the forest.
