Su Ting’s cheeks flushed with a slight redness under Aad’s teasing tone, yet he also sighed in relief.
Su Ci pursed her lips and, with a smile, turned to Gu Dai to inquire, “Daidai, have you found someone to follow up on the clean energy project?”
Gu Dai shook her head, “Not yet.”
Su Ci softly asked, “What do you think about me? I’m also on the island, so there’s no need to trouble finding someone else.”
His desire to stay on the island to follow up on the project was merely an excuse. In truth, the moment he saw Gu Dai, a wave of guilt surged in his heart, leaving him unsure of how to face her. Thus, he wished for some time to calm down.
Gu Dai pursed her lips and then agreed, “Alright.”
Aad, watching the backs of Gu Dai and her group, gently shook her head. Even with her slow reactions, she could sense that Su Ci’s feelings for Gu Dai were extraordinary. However, the nature of their relationship…
When Lin Chen came over, he found Aad standing there in a daze, “Are you here contemplating life?”
As his words fell, he noticed the thin file in Aad’s hand and asked puzzledly, “What’s that in your hand?”
Aad snapped back to reality upon Lin Chen’s question and said with a smile, “It’s the clean energy contract we’ve signed.”
Lin Chen scoffed disdainfully, “Must have been those low-class people who tricked you into signing it. You’ve really lost your senses to sign a contract offered by such people.”
Aad retorted coldly, “Even if I’ve lost my senses, it must be inherited from you.”
She paused, then added with a smile, “Besides, I’m not like you. You were completely deceived by the content of the contract, whereas the contract I’ve signed will surely be profitable!”
Lin Chen was skeptical. He didn’t believe there were projects in the world that could guarantee profits.
He had no right to stop her now, but he thought she would regret it later.
Deep into the night, in the prison cell.
Wang Sui’s eyes lit up upon hearing a noise, and she couldn’t help but ask excitedly, “Is it you who has come to rescue me?”
Gu Dai stepped in slowly and said indifferently, “I’m sorry, it’s me, not the person you’re imagining.”
The excitement in Wang Sui’s eyes faded, and she said firmly, “Don’t expect to get anything out of me. He is the person I love the most. I won’t tell anyone about his matters.”
Gu Dai replied lazily, “Is that so…”
Wang Sui nodded earnestly, “Yes!”
Gu Dai looked into Wang Sui’s eyes and suggested, “But he might not only like you.”
Wang Sui’s expression almost crumbled as she said with a trembling voice, “No, it’s impossible for him not to like me. I know he’s just not expressive, but he definitely has a place for me in his heart.”
She took a deep breath, unsure if she was trying to convince Gu Dai or herself, and said earnestly, “He definitely likes me. And the things you’re saying now, they must be a trick to get information out of me.”
Gu Dai shook her head and said seriously, “I’m not deceiving you. What I said is the truth. According to the information I’ve found, he’s actually been with many women, changing them daily. And you’re just one of them.”
Wang Sui, seeing Gu Dai’s serious expression, began to doubt her own certainty.
Could it be that what Gu Dai said was true, that he really changes women every day…
Wang Sui was so angry that she trembled all over, biting her teeth in rage, “I love him so much, why would he do this to me, why, why? He clearly said that as long as I did things for him, he would only love me!”
Gu Dai sighed, “You should know that most men don’t keep their word.”
Wang Sui seemed to agree with this point. Upon hearing Gu Dai’s words, her face turned extremely pale, “Tell me what you want to know, I’ll tell you everything!”
Gu Dai, to avoid arousing Wang Sui’s suspicions, kept her questions not too intrusive, only asking about Father Su’s habits before leaving.
She feared that staying any longer might reveal that what she had said about Father Su was fabricated.
Father Su was particularly secretive about his private life, so Gu Dai actually had yet to uncover anything about him. Fortunately, Wang Sui lacked a sense of security in their relationship, which prevented her from noticing anything amiss.
The next day.
Su Ci watched as time ticked by and softly said, “I will arrange to meet him at the cafe later. While you listen to our conversation, you can also see us interacting in a secluded place.”
Gu Dai and Su Ting nodded in agreement, “Alright.”
