Gu Dai looked at Song Ling and uttered two simple words, “You’re insane.”
Song Ling’s face darkened, disbelief coloring his tone, “What did you say?”
Having no interest in engaging further with Song Ling, Gu Dai pushed him away with a swift motion and walked off quickly.
Staggering back a couple of steps from the force of her push, Song Ling looked after Gu Dai’s retreating figure, his eyes clouded with gloom.
How did this woman get so strong?
Zhao Xuan stood behind Song Ling, not daring to utter a single word, fearful of being embroiled in the scene.
Even though Zhao Xuan remained silent, Song Ling still noticed him, “Why didn’t you step forward to stop Gu Dai just now?”
Zhao Xuan:”…”
Gu Dai sped down the road to the airport, spotting Su Ting in the crowd. She waved at him, “Su Ting, over here.”
Upon seeing Gu Dai, Su Ting wheeled his suitcase over to her. His eyes shone as he looked at her, excitement filling his voice, “Sis, I’m back! I’ve missed you so much these past days that I’ve lost weight.”
Gu Dai stared at Su Ting’s plaintive expression and sighed helplessly. She looked up and examined him closely.
Noticing Gu Dai’s move, Su Ting thoughtfully crouched down to be at her eye level and asked, “Sis, have I really lost weight?”
Gu Dai looked into Su Ting’s sparkling eyes and patted him on the head before nodding earnestly, “Yes, you have. I’m going to make a reservation. We’re going to eat, and I’m going to make sure you gain back the weight you’ve lost.”
Su Ting, his hair curled, looked up at Gu Dai like an obedient puppy and said, “Sis, I’ve already made a reservation at a restaurant. Shall we go straight there?”
Gu Dai put away her phone and nodded, “Alright.”
Following the address provided by Su Ting, Gu Dai drove swiftly to the restaurant.
Su Ting had carefully selected it, knowing it was stocked with many of Gu Dai’s favorite dishes.
Most importantly, the restaurant was always packed; securing a reservation without prior notice would be impossible.
As they entered the private dining room, the waiter had just finished setting the table with an array of dishes.
“You must have gone to a lot of trouble to arrange this,” Gu Dai remarked softly.
Su Ting smiled at her, “While I was abroad for the competition, all 1 could think about was having a meal with you. So, it didn’t feel like trouble at all, just pure happiness.”
Gu Dai chuckled at his words, “Your flattery is getting better.”
“That’s because I’m with you, Sis,” Su Ting said softly.
Su Ting pushed a bowl of yam porridge toward her. “Try the porridge, Sis. It’s delicious, and 1 remember yam porridge being your favorite.”
Gu Dai tasted a spoonful, then took several more sips before nodding, “It’s indeed delicious, but I think you might have remembered wrong. I don’t recall yam porridge being my favorite.”
Su Ting paused and nodded, “Maybe I did get it wrong.”
His gaze lingered on Gu Dai, his thoughts drifting away.
But yam porridge was something he used to make for you all the time…
“How did your competition overseas go?” Gu Dai inquired after finishing her porridge.
Snapping out of his thoughts, Su Ting beamed, “Thanks to your guidance, Sis, I won first place!”
Gu Dai had always believed in Su Ting’s capabilities, but hearing the news from him still filled her with joy.
She said, “It seems I was right to guide you onto this path three years ago. I’m glad I ran into you back then and helped you. The world would have missed out on a supermodel otherwise.”
Su Ting thought of their initial encounter and lowered his eyes to hide the pain that flashed through them.
Gu Dai, engrossed in her meal, didn’t notice Su Ting’s fleeting emotion.
After leaving the restaurant, Gu Dai turned to Su Ting, “Let me give you a gift. Is there anything you’d like?”
Su Ting looked puzzled, “Why the sudden gift, Sis?”
Although Gu Dai wanted to give him a gift without a specific reason, she pondered a bit upon being questioned. Finding an acceptable rationale, she eagerly said, “It’s because you stirred things up at Song Ling and Jiang Yue’s wedding. 1 was a bit frustrated back then, but your arrangement instantly lifted my spirits..”
