After Su Ting finished speaking, he pursed his lips, his eyes burning intensely as he gazed at Gu Dai.
Feeling the heat of Su Ting’s gaze, Gu Dai’s eyes flickered momentarily as she asked softly, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Taking a deep breath, Su Ting responded with earnest, “Daidai, tonight when you were talking with Shi Nuan, you mentioned that we usually interact like she does with Meng Zhi.”
Gu Dai recalled her words and nodded gently, “Yes, that’s right.”
Su Ting looked at her with a crestfallen expression, his voice muffled, “It’s not the same.”
Confused, Gu Dai inquired, “What’s different?”
Su Ting fixed his intense gaze on her, sincerely stating, “We haven’t kissed.”
Instantly, Gu Dai’s cheeks flushed with color, and she averted her gaze, murmuring, “You do it then.”
This left Su Ting stunned, “What?”
As his words hung in the air, he met Gu Dai’s slightly angry look and, belatedly realizing what she meant, he leaned down to gently kiss her lips.
The temperature in the room seemed to rise, and a glimmer of tears appeared in Gu Dai’s eyes. She pushed against Su Ting, finding a moment to breathe and quickly said, “Enough, that’s enough.”
With a muffled response, Su Ting buried his head in her neck, his breaths uneven, his voice husky, “Daidai, when will you give me a proper status?”
Gu Dai, her mind a whirlwind, was taken aback by his question, “What?”
Su Ting looked up at her with puppy-dog eyes, almost as if accusing her of betrayal, “Daidai, you’ve had your fill of me, aren’t you going to take responsibility?”
Meeting Su Ting’s gaze, Gu Dai nodded repeatedly, “I will take responsibility, of course, I will.”
Su Ting’s eyes brightened with a smile, and he moved closer for another kiss.
Suddenly remembering something important, Gu Dai pushed the advancing Su Ting away, “Let’s handle that matter first, then think about other things.”
Realizing the seriousness on Gu Dai’s face, Su Ting nodded in understanding, “Okay.”
The next day was sunny, but Gu Dai felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
When Su Ting returned home from work, his phone rang with a call from Yang Gao.
Yang Gao spoke urgently, “President Su, there’s trouble. Our new project has hit a snag. The supplier has been exposed for cutting corners and using substandard materials. All the journalists in the Capital City are demanding answers from us!”
After a pause, he added angrily, “The suppliers were all thoroughly vetted by our company; there shouldn’t be any scandals like this. Moreover, the so-called evidence circulating online is full of holes!”
Su Ting nodded, then instructed, “Arrange for the private plane I just purchased to fly to the supplier’s location.”
Yang Gao was puzzled, “President Su, we could easily release strong evidence to counter this. Why go through all this trouble?”
Su Ting’s eyes flashed darkly, “I have my reasons. Just follow my instructions.”
Though still confused, Yang Gao trusted Su Ting’s judgment, eventually nodding, “Okay, I’ll take care of it now.”
Having worked with Su Ting, he knew him to be a man of independent thought; his plans were always well-considered.
After hanging up, Su Ting turned to Gu Dai and spoke softly, “Daidai, I need to go.”
Gu Dai nodded, “Be careful.”
Su Ting assured her gently, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
At the hospital, Fu Chuan and Fu Jing were just approaching the entrance when they were suddenly ambushed by a group of men in black. Before they could even ask who it was, Fu Jing was struck hard on the back of the head, her thoughts blurring as her vision hazed.
Before passing out, Fu Jing noticed an ‘X’ symbol on the assailants’ clothes, realizing these were men sent by Li Yuan. She tried to resist, but her eyelids drooped heavily, and she eventually lost consciousness.
The leader of the men in black, grinning, commanded, “Take them!”
He got into the car and removed his mask, revealing himself as the fugitive, Li Yuan.
With a dark expression and a venomous gaze, he stared at the unconscious Fu Jing, “Daring to betray me? Now that you’re in my hands, you’re as good as dead!”
