Translator: _Min_ |
After Zheng Ming left, Gu Dai’s gaze fell on the name of the studio. Tears trickled down her cheeks, drop by drop.
Back in their university days, she and Su Ci had discussed starting a business.
Su Ci had once said, “If I ever start a business, the studio will be named Dai Ci Studio. It signifies that the studio is our joint property.”
Gu Dai, puzzled, asked, “Why would my name come first in a studio you established?”
Su Ci replied, “Because the money we earn will be entrusted to you for safekeeping!”
Dai Ci Studio…
Why would someone choose this name? Was it mere coincidence, or could it be…
Images of Su Ci flashed in Gu Dai’s mind, filling her with anticipation. She quickly suppressed this feeling, fearing the disappointment that might follow.
In a high-rise building in the Capital.
A man in a suit knocked on a door. As a gentle voice invited him in, he entered and reported with a bowed head, “Director, the representatives from Gu Group have reached out to us. Their Chairwoman is quite satisfied with our product and wishes to meet for a detailed discussion.”
Su Ci chuckled, “I’m available tomorrow.”
Standing up, he gazed out of the window, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
These three years felt like a century, but we are finally going to meet in person.
The thought of certain people crossed Su Ci’s mind. He asked coldly, “Any recent movements from them?”
His subordinate replied, “Nothing detected so far.”
Acknowledging, Su Ci advised, “Keep a close watch. We can’t afford any mistakes.”
The subordinate quickly agreed, “Yes, sir!”
Su Ci clenched his fists. This time, he was determined to protect Gu Dai and not let anyone harm her again.
The next day.
Gu Dai sat in the car, looking through the materials of Dai Ci Studio.
The studio, recently established, didn’t publicize its finances. Its financial strength was unknown, but Gu Dai believed that with its strict standards and innovative ideas, it would surely carve out a place in the Capital.
She was also curious about who the person in charge was and why they coincidentally chose this name for the studio.
Zheng Ming parked the car, “Chairwoman Gu, we’ve arrived at the restaurant.”
Coming back to her senses, Gu Dai said, “Wait here for me. I’ll handle this collaboration alone.”
Zheng Ming expressed concern, “Chairwoman Gu…”
But Gu Dai didn’t listen and quickly got out of the car, striding into the restaurant. Led by the waiter, she entered a private room.
Upon entering, she saw a man already standing inside.
Tall and clad in simple casual wear, the man exuded an elegant aura. He looked more like someone meeting an old friend rather than a business partner.
Gu Dai felt an overwhelming familiarity. The name Su Ci surfaced in her mind. Her voice hoarse, she said, “Hello, you look so much like…”
The man turned around, sunlight casting a glow on his handsome features, making it hard to look away. His eyes were gentle, his lips curved in a soft smile, “Daidai, it’s been a long time.”
Gu Dai was completely stunned, staring at Su Ci. After a long moment, her eyes brimmed with tears, her voice filled with disbelief, “Su Ci, is it really you?”
Su Ci nodded and approached her, speaking softly, “It’s me.”
Overcome with emotion, Gu Dai embraced Su Ci, crying, “You’re alive, you’re really alive. Or, am I dreaming?”
Su Ci gently wiped her tears with a tissue, his voice tender, “Daidai, it’s not a dream. Touch my hand, feel its warmth, its reality.”
Following Su Ci’s words, Gu Dai instinctively did as told, then nodded numbly, “It’s real, it hasn’t disappeared.”
Lately, she often dreamt of Su Ci, but in those dreams, he would vanish as soon as she touched him. But this time, he didn’t disappear.
Numbly eating, Gu Dai finally voiced her confusion after a long while, “Where have you been these three years? After the cruise ship explosion, you…”
Hearing the mention of the cruise ship, Su Ci’s hand instinctively tightened, then relaxed. He couldn’t reveal the truth to Daidai yet.
His expression natural, Su Ci smiled, “After the explosion, I fell into the sea with the ship. When I woke up, I found myself in a small fishing village. The kind fishermen there saved me. Later, I went abroad, and some things happened.”
Gu Dai asked curiously, “What things?”
Su Ci replied, “It’s a long story. I’ll tell you in detail another time..”
