Su Ting was momentarily taken aback, urgently asking, “Really?”
Gu Dai nodded affirmatively, asserting, “Of course, if you don’t believe me, just think about it yourself.”
Recalling the uncontrollable smile on Xu Huan’s face, Su Ting gradually began to believe, and the panic in his heart slowly subsided. “Does this mean we won’t break up?”
Gu Dai nodded again, earnestly saying, “We certainly won’t break up.”
Unable to contain himself, Su Ting chuckled foolishly and clumsily hugged her.
Gu Dai, somewhat helplessly, said, “I still have work to do.”
Su Ting reluctantly withdrew his hands to not disturb Gu Dai, but the next second he remembered something, “Daidai, you haven’t contacted my brother to have him come for lunch.”
Gu Dai replied, “Why don’t you send him a message and ask? I’m a bit busy with work.”
Su Ting agreed, “Alright.”
After sending the message, it took a long while before he received a reply from Su Ci.
Su Ci: Alright, I’ll come.
Upon seeing Su Ci’s message, Su Ting couldn’t help but recall the conversation he had with an unknown person last night.
He was eager to find out who that person was and what they were talking about, but asking now might not reveal the truth and could possibly make Su Ci more wary of him.
Thinking this, Su Ting deleted the unsent messages in the chat box, then looked up at Gu Dai, staring blankly as she worked.
Gu Dai felt the intensity of his gaze, which made it difficult for her to concentrate on her work.
With a sigh, she pushed her work aside and looked up at Su Ting’s hopeful gaze, softly suggesting, “Let’s go for a walk in the garden.”
Su Ting, startled, then asked, “Have you finished your work?”
Gu Dai paused before responding, “Not yet…”
She hadn’t finished her work, but feeling Su Ting’s gaze on her made it impossible to concentrate.
Su Ting suggested, “Let’s go out for some fresh air; maybe when we come back, you’ll have a new perspective on the difficult project.”
After saying this, he paused for a few seconds before speaking again, “Daidai, you could also show me the project. Although I might not know how to solve it, I can share the frustration of not being able to solve it with you.”
Gu Dai, taken aback, asked without thinking, “Do you think I’ve encountered a project I can’t solve?”
Su Ting, puzzled, tilted his head. Though he didn’t speak, his eyes conveyed a question as if to say, “Isn’t that the case?”
Gu Dai wanted to say it wasn’t, but couldn’t reveal the true reason. In the end, she haphazardly nodded and said, “Yes, that’s exactly it!”
When Su Ci arrived at the Gu residence, he saw Gu Dai supporting Su Ting as they walked in the garden, speaking softly about something joyous, their faces brimming with smiles, and their gazes intermittently meeting, creating an atmosphere that seemed exclusive to them.
He hesitated in his steps, thinking about Gu Dai’s recent behavior of having Su Ting contact him and setting boundaries with him. Although his rational mind understood, his heart still felt a pang of pain.
Upon seeing Su Ci at the door, Su Ting called out, “Brother, you’re here.”
Su Ci’s lips curled into a smile, warmly responding, “Yes.”
Gu Dai, helping Su Ting to sit down, then went to open the door. “Come in quickly, Grandma has been talking about you; she will be very happy to see you.”
Su Ci chuckled, “I was delayed by a project meeting.”
Gu Dai nodded and led Su Ci inside. “Grandma, look who’s here.”
Upon seeing Su Ci, Xu Huan exclaimed excitedly, “Su Ci, you’ve come! I must thank you and Su Ting for rescuing Daidai from the ship; otherwise, the outcome would have been unthinkable.”
As Xu Huan spoke, her eyes began to well up with tears.
Gu Dai quickly fetched a tissue to wipe Xu Huan’s tears, “Grandma, don’t cry, look, I’m fine, aren’t I?”
Xu Huan, looking at Gu Dai’s concerned face, nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, I won’t cry.”
Su Ting softly said, “Grandma, it was our duty to save Daidai.”
Su Ci added gently, “Even strangers would have lent a hand in such a situation.”
Although Xu Huan nodded outwardly, she didn’t truly believe it deep down, knowing that matters of life and death aren’t so easily intervened in by everyone..
