Gu Dai chuckled, “Impressive. I’ll be off work soon. Let’s go out for a meal to celebrate then.”
Su Ting eagerly agreed, then added, “Daidai, I’ll come to your company to pick you up.”
His current location was quite far from Gu Group, requiring about half an hour to reach. However, his arrival would coincide perfectly with Gu Dai’s departure from work.
After a brief chat, they ended the call.
Upon seeing Gu Dai hang up, Song Ling asked coldly, “Who were you talking to?”
He didn’t wait for Gu Dai to respond, a possibility flashing through his mind, he gritted his teeth and asked, “Su Ting?”
Gu Dai didn’t hide the truth and nodded, confirming, “Yes.”
Song Ling’s expression darkened further, and Gu Dai’s next words plunged his mood into the abyss.
“Why are you still here?” Gu Dai looked at him, puzzled.
Song Ling retorted, “I’ve been talking to you the whole time. Didn’t you notice?”
!!..
He consoled himself internally, thinking Gu Dai must be deliberately saying this due to his past actions.
Gu Dai, unaware of Song Ling’s thoughts, replied frankly, “I was lost in my own world and didn’t notice you.”
Song Ling quickly said, “Gu Dai, you’re lying to me…”
Gu Dai shook her head firmly, “I’m not.”
Indeed, she hadn’t lied to Song Ling; her entire focus had been on the conversation with Su Ting and Zhou Lin, completely oblivious to Song Ling’s words.
Hearing Gu Dai’s response, Song Ling’s face became even uglier, his teeth clenched, “Gu Dai, well done. I’ve been talking about my mom and Song Yu’s changes. They won’t criticize you anymore. Even if they bully you, I’ll protect you. But you didn’t listen to a word! You even missed the part where I described our future happiness together!”
Gu Dai internally rejoiced that she hadn’t paid attention earlier, as it would have surely disgusted her enough to lose sleep.
Song Ling’s gaze fixed on Gu Dai, he began softly, “Daidai, I…”
Gu Dai cut him off, her voice cold, “Please, call me by my name, Gu Dai.”
After a few seconds, Song Ling complied reluctantly, “Gu Dai.”
“Continue,” Gu Dai nodded.
“Su Ting can’t give you happiness. You should break up with him sooner,” Song Ling suggested.
Without a second thought, Gu Dai knew his intention, “And then be with you?”
Caught off-guard by her straightforwardness, Song Ling blushed slightly, murmuring, “Yes.”
Gu Dai was startled and quickly said, “I won’t break up with Su Ting.”
As the blush faded from Song Ling’s face, hostility towards Su Ting grew in his heart, he pressed, “Do you really like Su Ting that much?”
Gu Dai, sensing Song Ling’s malintent, looked away, “It’s not about whether I like Su Ting. Even if I broke up with him, I wouldn’t fall for you, let alone be with you. So, you might as well give up on that thought.”
Song Ling’s gaze remained fixed on Gu Dai.
He refused to believe her words, thinking that once she saw his changes, she would eventually fall for him.
Glancing at the time, Gu Dai said, “I’ll be off work soon. You’ve probably said everything you wanted to, so don’t bother me for a while.”
Song Ling, as if not hearing her, showed no reaction.
Seeing this, Gu Dai, like before, decided to ignore Song Ling and went back to her work.
Upon entering, Su Ting saw Gu Dai deeply engrossed in her work, with Song Ling staring intently at her.
He approached Gu Dai, whispering, “Daidai, he…”
“It’s fine, just ignore him. Let’s go, we’re going to have dinner,” Gu Dai interjected.
Though Su Ting was unaware of what had transpired, he obediently agreed, “Okay.”
Song Ling watched the duo leave together, his face clouded with gloom, following them all the way to the restaurant.
Seeing Song Ling attempting to follow them into the private room, Gu Dai could no longer tolerate it, “President Song, this is my private room. Please do not disturb us..”
