Su Ting turned to Gu Dai, gently asking, “Sis, do you want to watch the car race?”
Gu Dai’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Ting, “I’d love to! Oh, by the way, my third brother, Meng Zhi, will also be participating in the race. He’s incredibly talented. I’ll introduce you to him after the race.”
A fleeting shadow passed through Su Ting’s eyes, but he quickly reverted to his usual obedient demeanor, nodding, “Alright, I’ll follow whatever Sis plans.”
Song Ling turned to look at Gu Dai, catching her smiling and chatting with Su Ting.
Without noticing Song Ling’s actions, Zhou Ci, having heard the auctioneer’s announcement, asked, “Are you going to watch the race later?”
Song Ling replied coldly, “No.”
Zhou Ci responded, “Alright, I’ll go by myself then… Hey, where are you going?”
He was puzzled when Song Ling suddenly stood up. Still not understanding, he followed behind him.
Only when Song Ling finally stopped did Zhou Ci look up and realize they were at the racing venue.
Hadn’t Song Ling just said a moment ago that he wouldn’t watch the race?
Following Song Ling’s gaze, Zhou Ci spotted Gu Dai and Su Ting. The confusion from earlier was instantly cleared up.
Zhou Ci,”…”
The auction and the race were closely scheduled, with only a ten-minute gap in between. The race was about to start.
Su Ting softly asked Gu Dai, “Sis, can I sit next to you?”
Gu Dai nodded and patted the seat beside her, “Sit. I saved this seat for you.”
Su Ting’s lips curved into a smile. As he sat down, he subtly glanced over his shoulder. When his gaze brushed past Song Ling in the distance, a shadow flickered in his eyes.
Soon, as the host announced the start of the race, drivers began to enter the track. Upbeat music started playing, further immersing the audience into the excitement, bringing out cheers from the crowd.
When the race cars made their entrance, Gu Dai immediately noticed a silver-grey car with the character “Zhi” on it. This was her third brother’s distinctive car.
Caught up in the atmosphere, Gu Dai cheered in Meng Zhi’s direction.
There were many people cheering around, creating a wall of sounds. Gu Dai didn’t expect Meng Zhi to hear her, but to her surprise, the window of the silver-grey car rolled down. Meng Zhi’s gaze met hers, and with a smile, he mouthed a single word.
Gu Dai couldn’t hear what he said, but by reading his lips, she deduced he probably said, “Good.”
The occupants of the four cars beside him seemed to have heard Meng Zhi’s voice. They uniformly rolled down their windows, looking toward the audience stands. They then turned to Meng Zhi, sharing some comments.
The female spectators, upon noticing their actions, cheered even more fervently.
“Oh my God, these are the young masters of the Capital! And now they’ve come out to race together. I’m so lucky to witness this.”
“These young masters are so handsome! Especially the first one who rolled down his window. He’s just breathtaking. But I haven’t seen him in the Capital before. Does anyone know who he is?”
“You don’t know him? That’s Meng Zhi, the third young master of the Meng family. Everyone in the capital knew him back in the day! But he went abroad three years ago. I never thought I’d see him again, but here he is!”
“Did the third young master look my way? Did I catch his attention? After all, he smiled at me.”
“You’re probably mistaken. Clearly, he was looking at me, okay?”
Listening to the bickering, Su Ting leaned over to Gu Dai’s ear, whispering, “Sis, it’s a bit noisy here. Will you be uncomfortable? Should we return once it’s a bit quieter?”
Gu Dai shook her head gently, her face breaking into a smile, saying, “No need. I actually like this atmosphere and enjoy these lively and exuberant young ladies.”
During her three years of memory loss, she had been overly timid. So, witnessing the girls’ courage and zest for life didn’t irritate her; it made her genuinely happy.
Seeing Gu Dai genuinely enjoying the environment, Su Ting’s concerns faded.
Song Ling’s expression, however, grew darker.
He genuinely couldn’t comprehend what Gu Dai found so amusing.. Even during their time together, she had never laughed with such joy!
