Chapter 466: I’ll take care of Sis....
Translator: _Min_ |
Xu Huan gently patted Gu Dai’s hand. “Your master cares for you the most. She would never confine you at the foot of the mountain.”
Gu Dai crouched down and hugged Xu Huan’s arm, coquettishly saying, “Grandma, please accompany me, will you?”
Xu Huan readily agreed, “Alright, alright, alright.”
Su Ting looked at Gu Dai and, after pursing his lips, spoke, “Sis, your injury hasn’t fully healed yet. You need to rest more in the coming days. Plus, grandma needs someone to take care of her. Since I’m free during this period, may I accompany you?”
Shi Nuan couldn’t hold back a laugh, meeting Gu Dai’s gaze before quickly suppressing her amusement and winking at her.
Gu Dai raised her hand to fan herself, attempting to dispel the heat from her face.
Xu Huan glanced at Gu Dai and then towards Su Ting, smiling as she spoke, “Since you have the time, then go together. But I have someone to look after me; you just need to take care of Gu Dai.”
Meng Chuan wanted to join them but was tied up with a drama he was currently shooting and couldn’t leave. He glanced at Meng Zhi, sending him a look.
Meng Zhi, catching Meng Chuan’s gaze, hastily said, “Su Ting, you’ve been taking care of Daidai these past few days and must be tired. Why don’t you rest for a few days? I can take care of Daidai instead, as I’ve just finished up my work.”
They could sense Su Ting’s feelings for Gu Dai, but given their past commitment to Su Ci, their feelings towards his emotions were complicated.
Su Ting smiled and shook his head, “It’s fine. I’m not tired. No need to rest.”
Shi Nuan seemed quite fond of Su Ting, observing that whenever Gu Dai was with him, there was always a hint of amusement in her eyes. Seeing Meng Zhi about to intervene again, she quickly spoke before him, “Brother Meng Zhi, you promised to teach me racing skills after you were done with your work. Does that still stand?”
Gu Dai’s eyes lit up, eagerly saying, “It does, it does. My third brother never lies!”
She then turned to Meng Zhi, “Third brother, you go teach Nuannuan these next few days. I’ll be fine here.”
Meng Zhi, mouth agape, eventually responded, “Alright.”
Gu Dai chuckled “hehe” and winked at Shi Nuan, not forgetting to send her a message: Nuannuan, give it your all these next few days. I’m looking forward to the day you become my third sister-in-law!
Shi Nuan’s face turned red upon reading the message, her gaze flitting about in panic, nearly dropping her phone.
Gu Dai proudly tilted her chin, meeting Su Ting’s gaze the next moment. She turned her head and coughed lightly, quickly saying, “It’s getting late. Let’s head up the mountain.”
Su Ting nodded, “Alright.”
At the Capital Hospital.
Song Ling’s gaze swept over the empty ward, his expression darkening.
Zhao Xuan didn’t know who Song Ling was there to visit, but looking at the scene before him, he guessed, “President Song, the patient must have already been discharged.”
Song Ling gave Zhao Xuan a cold look, his tone unfriendly, “Do I need you to tell me that?”
He had inquired about Gu Dai’s discharge date intending to take her home, only to find she had already left.
It must have been Su Ting who escorted her home.
Zhao Xuan remained silent, following Song Ling closely, feeling the chill emanating from him and belatedly realizing that the patient might have been Gu Dai.
No wonder Song Ling had been distracted at work these past few days. Connecting the dots, it wasn’t surprising.
The nurses, not busy at the moment, took the opportunity to chat.
“That Miss Gu’s boyfriend is Su Ting, right? He’s even more handsome in person than on TV. I was stunned when I ran into him yesterday.”
“Yeah, it’s Su Ting. But I heard they aren’t dating yet.”
“What? They aren’t dating? I thought they had been together for a long time. But given the atmosphere between them, even if they aren’t together now, they’ll end up together sooner or later.”
“Su Ting always looks so aloof, but who would have thought he’d be so careful and gentle when taking care of someone? He treated Miss Gu like a porcelain doll. Oh my, he’s so gentle. If only my boyfriend could be one-tenth as gentle as Su Ting.”
Zhao Xuan saw Song Ling’s face grow even more somber, shrinking back to minimize his presence.
Song Ling was emanating coldness.
After Gu Dai mentioned he wasn’t good at taking care of people, he had reflected on it and even asked the servants at home to teach him, spending his work hours pondering how he should act.
But now, the reality was telling him that Gu Dai didn’t need him at all.
Song Ling lowered his head to hide the loss in his eyes, clutching his chest where pain twinged..
