Chapter 489: Song Ling Driven Away
Translator: _Min_ |
Watching Gu Dai tend to Su Ting, even helping him dry his hair, Song Ling’s expression darkened further.
Gu Dai had once cared exclusively for him; it was his privilege, but now, all of that care was bestowed upon Su Ting.
Song Ling, his face clouded with anger, coldly remarked, “Su Ting is a grown man, capable of taking care of himself, yet now he needs you to look after him, like he’s useless!”
Gu Dai met Song Ling’s gaze coolly, “Su Ting was injured trying to save me.”
Song Ling paused, his gaze shifting to Su Ting’s waist.
“And I think you’re the ‘useless’ one you mentioned,” Gu Dai continued.
Song Ling’s face stiffened, and he opened his mouth to retort but found himself speechless, reflecting on the events of the past three years.
Yawning, Su Ting, with reddened eyes, whispered to Gu Dai, “Daidai, I’m sleepy.”
Hearing this, Gu Dai quickly said, “Then let’s rest.”
She glanced at Song Ling, signaling him to leave.
Song Ling, witnessing Gu Dai’s affection for Su Ting, took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, “Let’s go.”
Gu Dai looked at him curiously, “I’m staying here. Why should I leave?”
Song Ling’s forehead veins throbbed, his hand trembling as he pointed at Su Ting and angrily asked Gu Dai, “You’re staying with him? Is it appropriate for you two to live together alone?”
“What’s inappropriate about it?” Su Ting interjected.
Song Ling scoffed, “Su Ting, you’re truly selfish. Just because you like Gu Dai, you make her stay with you, not caring about her reputation at all!”
“We’re in a relationship,” Gu Dai stated simply.
Unwilling to argue further with Song Ling, she closed the door on him while he continued to ring the bell and shout from outside.
Fuming, Song Ling yelled, his eyes bloodshot, “Gu Dai, come out and clarify things. How could you possibly be in a relationship with Su Ting? I don’t believe it. You must be lying, right?”
Gu Dai called the hotel staff and then assured Su Ting, “The bedroom is soundproof. Once we’re inside, you won’t hear Song Ling anymore, and you can rest peacefully.”
Helping Su Ting into the bedroom, he found himself unable to sleep, often glancing at Gu Dai.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Dai inquired.
Su Ting looked down, murmuring, “You just made our relationship public.”
“Yes,” Gu Dai was puzzled by the question, but she still confirmed.
“I didn’t expect you to tell Song Ling about us,” Su Ting confessed.
“I’ve realized you didn’t expect a lot of things before,” Gu Dai noted.
Su Ting nodded in agreement.
Gu Dai gently ruffled his hair, “Go to sleep.”
Outside, Song Ling pounded on the door, yelling loudly.
When the hotel staff arrived, they quietly suggested, “Sir, it’s late. Everyone needs to rest. You should…”
Song Ling shoved the staff member aside, “I’m a paying customer. Don’t interfere!”
The staff member tried to reason, “You’ll receive complaints from other guests.”
Song Ling stopped, fixating on the staff member, “Who is complaining? Did Gu Dai complain?”
Without waiting for an answer, he spoke again, “Oh, it must be Gu Dai. Let’s do this. As long as you call her out to see me, then I will stop knocking on the door and calling her, otherwise you stand aside!”
The staff member was stunned.
Seeing this, Song Ling started knocking on the door again.
However, it wasn’t Gu Dai’s door that opened, but the doors of other guests, glaring and scolding him.
Retreating to his room, Song Ling received a call from Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan spoke, “President Song, there is an urgent project at the company that requires you to come back and take charge of it personally, and you still have a lot of work to deal with. The partners are waiting for feedback. They have already urged me, and…”
As Song Ling listened to Zhao Xuan’s report, the anger in her heart grew stronger and stronger, and he punched the wall with his fist.
Zhao Xuan was so frightened that his heart trembled and his words stopped instantly.
Song Ling sneered, “In order to protect Gu Dai, I left so much work unfinished, but she didn’t appreciate it at all.”
Zhao Xuan, who was on the other end of the phone, shrank and didn’t dare to say a word.
When Song Ling saw that Zhao Xuan was silent, he felt very dissatisfied and asked, “Zhao Xuan, do you think it’s worth it for me to do this?”
Zhao Xuan: “I…”
Song Ling interrupted Zhao Xuan, “Do you also think it’s not worth it?”
Zhao Xuan followed Song Ling’s wishes and responded hesitantly, “Yes..”
