Chapter 535: Sense of Loneliness

Song Ling responded indifferently with a simple “Mhmm.”
Seeing Song Ling’s indifferent attitude, Song Yu became anxious, “And she was with Su Ting. Brother, you have to step up your game. What if Sister Gu Dai starts dating another man?”
A chill seemed to deepen around Song Ling.
Zhao Xuan shrank his neck, his eyes continuously signaling Song Yu to stop talking.
After all, Song Ling had been secretly having people track Gu Dai’s movements these past few days, fully aware of her activities, which left him in a foul mood. The employees at Song Corporation were walking on eggshells, hardly daring to utter an unnecessary word.
Song Yu, oblivious to Zhao Xuan’s silent pleas, continued, “Brother, are you unsure how to pursue her? I can teach you. Then you could…”
Song Ling let out a cold laugh, “Shut up!”
Zhao Xuan hurriedly followed the swiftly departing Song Ling.
Song Ling’s face darkened as he slammed the car door shut and sped away.
Zhao Xuan:”…”
When Song Yu caught up, she saw this scene and couldn’t help but ask, “Assistant Zhao, what’s wrong with my brother?”
Zhao Xuan sighed. What else could be wrong with Song Ling? He had dressed up and tried to woo Gu Dai, only to be ignored and feel dejected.
He knew the reason, but faced with Song Yu’s questioning gaze, he could only maintain a light smile and say, “I’m sorry, Miss. I’m not too clear on the president’s matters.”
When Song Ling came to his senses, he found himself in the house he once shared with Gu Dai. Surrounded by the familiar setting, he felt as if he had never divorced Gu Dai.
He couldn’t help but immerse himself in the memories, but as the sky grew darker, a heavy sense of loneliness pulled him back to reality.
Recalling Gu Dai’s indifference towards him, Song Ling felt a sense of powerlessness, “What can I do to make you like me? Must I really give up?”
Even after returning home, Song Yu was still puzzled and muttered under her breath, “Doesn’t brother like Sister Gu Dai? What’s with his attitude?”
Wang Lan shook her head helplessly, then the doorbell rang. She went to open the door and, seeing the person outside, smiled and said, “Sheng Xin, come in quickly.”
Sheng Xin smiled lightly, “Auntie, this is a gift for you.”
Wang Lan’s eyes lit up at the sight of the gift box in Sheng Xin’s hands, eagerly taking it, “Xinxin, you should have just come without bringing a gift. I feel embarrassed now.”
Sheng Xin’s expression stiffened slightly, clearly not seeing any sign of embarrassment from Wang Lan.
Turning to see Song Yu staring at her, Sheng Xin suppressed her annoyance and said softly, “I’m sorry, Yuyu. I came in a hurry this time and forgot to bring you a gift. I’ll make sure to bring you something next time.”
Song Yu huffed, “I don’t want to see you!”
Sheng Xin’s face fell.
Song Yu continued, “My brother doesn’t like you. He and Sister Gu Dai are the real couple. You should give up early!”
Wang Lan scolded, “Song Yu, don’t be so rude!”
Song Yu, her eyes reddening with anger, stormed into her room and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
Wang Lan patted Sheng Xin’s hand, “Xinxin, Song Yu’s head isn’t completely healed. Don’t take her words to heart.”
Sheng Xin forced a smile and responded, “Of course.”
Even if Wang Lan hadn’t said anything, Sheng Xin wouldn’t have taken Song Yu’s words to heart, at least not outwardly, since her aim was Song Ling.
Sheng Xin tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and asked with a restrained smile, “Auntie, what has Song Ling been up to recently?”
Wang Lan immediately understood Sheng Xin’s intention, but faced with the woman who once could have been her daughter-in-law, she hesitated…
Sheng Xin softly asked, “Auntie, why are you just looking at me?”
Wang Lan shook her head and then said, “Song Ling has been busy with work these days.”
Thinking that Song Ling couldn’t catch up with Gu Dai and might end up with Sheng Xin instead, Wang Lan saw this as a potentially lovely story.
After thinking this, she shared Song Ling’s recent schedule with Sheng Xin.
Sheng Xin clenched her fist, earnestly saying, “Don’t worry, Auntie. I’ll do my best to be a good daughter-in-law to you in the future.”
Wang Lan nodded, but her heart remained undisturbed. She was no longer interested in meddling too much.
Unaware of Wang Lan’s emotional detachment, Sheng Xin continued, “Rest assured, I’ll be better than Gu Dai did back then.”
Wang Lan frowned subconsciously, “It’s wrong to compare people to each other..”
