Trembling slightly, Zhao Xuan timidly spoke to Song Ling, “President Song, Chu Min might have some misunderstandings about you. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Song Ling’s face darkened as he coldly ordered, “Get out!”
Zhao Xuan, eager to comply, hurried to leave. Just before exiting, however, his phone rang with a message from Chu Min.
Chu Min: Chuanlin Hotel.
Chu Min: This is where the boss is staying.
Zhao Xuan swiftly replied: Understood.
Catching a glimpse of Chu Min’s message, Song Ling slightly frowned and called Zhao Xuan back before he could leave. “Wait, what did he send you?”
Stunned, Zhao Xuan realized what Song Ling was asking and responded, “It’s where Miss Gu Dai is staying.”
Song Ling acknowledged with a grunt.
Cleverly sensing the situation, Zhao Xuan added, “President Song, Miss Gu Dai is staying at the Chuanlin Hotel.”
Song Ling shot Zhao Xuan a glare and coldly said, “I don’t want to know. Leave.”
Confused by Song Ling’s behavior, Zhao Xuan wondered if he had misunderstood something.
After pondering the situation all night, Zhao Xuan couldn’t decipher Song Ling’s thoughts from the previous day. However, his understanding became clearer the next day when he saw Song Ling driving towards Chuanlin Hotel. This observation confirmed to Zhao Xuan that he hadn’t misunderstood Song Ling’s intentions after all.
Song Ling arrived at the hotel and stared blankly at its entrance, unsure why he felt compelled to come.
His phone rang, snapping him out of his reverie. Answering instinctively, he heard Jiang Yue’s excited voice, “Brother Song Ling, you finally answered my call. I’ve missed you so much, you…”
Hearing Jiang Yue’s excited voice, Song Ling quickly hung up.
She had been calling him relentlessly from various numbers, repeatedly accusing him of being heartless, despite her having saved him in the past.
Growing increasingly agitated, Song Ling massaged his temples, unable to understand why Jiang Yue had changed so drastically from the girl he had once imagined.
Sometimes, he even doubted if she was really the one who had saved him back then.
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Song Ling’s gaze shifted outside the window, where he saw a woman exiting the hotel.
Her silhouette overlapped with that of the girl who had saved him as a child. Startled, he realized he had already grabbed her arm.
Gu Dai, caught off guard by being suddenly grabbed upon exiting the hotel, reacted swiftly, flipping the person to the ground.
Song Ling stammered, “Ouuuuuu…”
Recognizing the familiar voice, Gu Dai looked down and asked, “Song Ling, what are you doing here?”
Stunned, Song Ling asked in disbelief, “Why is it you?”
Why did Gu Dai’s figure resemble that of the girl who had saved him so much?
Confused by Song Ling’s reaction, Gu Dai was about to leave.
Song Ling, seeing her move to leave, grabbed her arm, “Where are you going? I’ll take you.”
Gu Dai refused, “No need.”
Song Ling’s expression darkened slightly, but he maintained his composure, “Chu Min asked me to look after you. I can’t let you leave the hotel alone.”
Gu Dai, stopping in her tracks, turned to him incredulously, “Chu Min asked you to look after me?”
Song Ling pursed his lips, pausing for a few seconds before firmly replying, “Yes!”
Gu Dai couldn’t fathom why Chu Min would choose Song Ling to look after her.
Something didn’t add up.
Recalling Song Ling’s earlier unnatural behavior and Chu Min’s usual attitude to Song Ling, which was far from fondness, it seemed impossible that he would have tasked Song Ling with her care.
She looked at Song Ling and spoke calmly, “Actually, Chu Min asked Zhao Xuan to look after me, right?”
Her tone was questioning, but her face conveyed certainty.
Song Ling’s expression stiffened, and he awkwardly replied, “Zhao Xuan is busy. He passed the task to me.”
Realizing Song Ling was lying but needing help for her upcoming meeting with Wen Ye, Gu Dai decided to accept his offer, “Let’s go.”
Song Ling, prepared for rejection but still following her, was surprised by her consent.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Song Ling asked, “Where to?”
Checking her phone, Gu Dai replied, “Scenery Garden.”
Recognizing the place, Song Ling frowned disapprovingly, “You’re not fully recovered, and now you’re going to see Wen Ye.. What if something happens?”
