Chapter 633: Su Ting’s Strange Behaviour
Meng Zhi’s eyes flickered with a dark gleam as he suddenly pulled Shi Nuan, who was about to leave, and whispered hoarsely, “Nuannuan, I told you I can’t hold back.”
Shi Nuan nodded repeatedly, “You did say that.”
She hurriedly took out her phone to check the time and said urgently, “Let me go, I need to get home.”
But Meng Zhi drew her into his embrace, whispering into her ear, “It’s too late.”
Before Shi Nuan could ask what he meant, she was enveloped by Meng Zhi’s presence.
Atop the Shi family’s villa.
Mother Shi held a pair of binoculars, observing Meng Zhi and Shi Nuan kissing while wrapped in each other’s arms. A broad smile formed on her lips as she exclaimed, “Meng Zhi and Nuannuan really do have a good relationship.”
Although Father Shi couldn’t see anything, he nodded in agreement, “Indeed.”
Mother Shi commented, “Meng Zhi’s domineering nature is just like yours back in the day.”
Father Shi coughed lightly and retorted, “How was I domineering? It was you who chased after me first!”
Mother Shi set down the binoculars, turned to Father Shi, and said, “Even though I chased you, I remember you proposing and suggesting we register our marriage the next day.”
Father Shi responded, “But you were the one who kissed me first.”
Immediately, mother Shi shot back, “And on our wedding night, wasn’t it you who first…”
Father Shi, usually composed, blushed at her words and quickly covered her mouth, nodding repeatedly, “Yes, yes, it was me who was domineering!”
Gu Dai delegated her company duties to Gu Zhe and Meng Xian, making sure they were familiar with the tasks. Once confident, she started planning the wedding.
As a top-tier designer himself, Gu Dai quickly came up with ideas for the wedding venue, procedure, and dress designs, finalizing everything in just a few days.
After briefing the staff, Su Ting handed her a glass of water, “Daidai, sit down and take a break.”
Relaxing under Su Ting’s massage, Gu Dai slowly eased up but then realized something. She had planned most of the wedding on herself, with Su Ting scarcely voicing his opinions.
Looking up at Su Ting, Gu Dai said, “If you have any ideas about the wedding, feel free to share them.”
Su Ting’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Gu Dai, “Your plans already include my ideas.”
Gu Dai was skeptical, “Really?”
Su Ting nodded earnestly, “Truly!”
Reassured by Su Ting’s affirmation, Gu Dai felt deeply satisfied. However, recalling Su Ting’s recent behavior of constantly checking his phone and coming home late, she felt a tinge of suspicion and couldn’t help asking, “Has work been very busy these days?”
Su Ting instinctively replied, “Not busy.”
Gu Dai frowned slightly, “Then why have you been glued to your phone these past few days?”
As she spoke, she remembered another detail, “And every time I approached, you seemed to panic and quickly locked your phone screen.”
Su Ting’s expression stiffened for a moment before he quickly changed his tune, “I was mistaken; I indeed had been busy with work these past few days.”
Gu Dai nodded and did not press further. However, her doubts lingered. Returning home, she couldn’t resist calling Shi Nuan to discuss her concerns, ending with, “I just feel that Su Ting has been acting strange lately, as if he’s hiding something from me.”
After a moment of silence, Shi Nuan laughed softly, “Maybe Su Ting is really busy with work, but he doesn’t want you to worry.”
Gu Dai wondered, “Really?”
Shi Nuan quickly replied, “Of course it’s true.”
After saying this, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Not only did Gu Dai hear Shi Nuan’s laughter, but she also heard Meng Zhi’s laughter. She couldn’t help but say, “Not just Su Ting, you two seem pretty odd as well.”
On the other end of the phone, Meng Zhi took over the conversation, “Daidai, do you want to know why?”
Gu Dai responded eagerly, “Yes.”
Meng Zhi blurted out, “Remember, you asked me; I wasn’t going to tell you voluntarily! You’ll definitely be happy when you hear what Su Ting is planning to do, I’m telling you—uh, Nuannuan, why are you… covering my mouth?”
Shi Nuan interjected, “Daidai, don’t listen to Meng Zhi’s nonsense; we don’t know anything!”
Gu Dai was astute; even though Meng Zhi didn’t finish his sentence, she could glean from their words that perhaps Su Ting was planning to propose.
A surge of anticipation welled up within her, but in the next second, she shook the thought from her mind, trying to return to a state of blissful ignorance..
