Chapter 280: Refuse to have dinner together
Translator: _Min_ |
Song Ling felt that Gu Dai was deceiving him, but since regaining her memory, she had undergone a significant change. It was as if she had found her soul, making her all the more captivating.
Regardless of whether Song Ling believed her or not, Gu Dai continued, “As for why the Legendary Doctor treated Yinyin, it only shows her kindness and willingness to help others.”
Gu Dai praised herself without a hint of embarrassment, maintaining her composure.
Song Ling didn’t find anything amiss in her words. In his heart, the Legendary Doctor was indeed as Gu Dai described.
Chu Min entered the hospital room and, seeing Song Ling, his smile faded slightly. Turning to Gu Dai, he spoke softly, “Boss, I’ve made a reservation at the restaurant. Let’s go have dinner.”
Gu Dai, eager to avoid Song Ling, promptly agreed, “Good, let’s go.”
After instructing the caregiver to take good care of Gu Yin, she left the hospital room with peace of mind.
Song Ling, watching Gu Dai leave, instinctively followed her.
Gu Dai, exhaling deeply, turned to Song Ling and asked, “President Song, do you need something?”
Song Ling replied confidently, “It’s my first time in Chuanchen, and I only know you here. I’m also hungry, so I thought of joining you for dinner.”
Gu Dai didn’t believe a word. Over the years, Song Ling had traveled across the country and globally, certainly capable of handling unfamiliar environments without needing to follow anyone.
She couldn’t understand why his attitude had taken a 180-degree turn. He used to be indifferent to her, but now, after their divorce, he began to pursue her again.
Looking at Song Ling, Gu Dai said, “You don’t only know me in Chuanchen. You can also find Zhao Xuan.”
Without blinking, Song Ling countered, “Zhao Xuan has returned to the capital.”
Gu Dai remained silent, her gaze falling behind Song Ling.
Feeling a sense of foreboding, Song Ling followed her gaze and saw Zhao Xuan, wishing he could disappear into the ground.
Zhao Xuan stuttered, “Pres… President Song…”
Song Ling’s face darkened. Turning back to Gu Dai, he could only watch as she walked away.
Frustrated, he kicked a nearby trash can.
Zhao Xuan, scared, offered, “President Song, I’ll go back to the capital now.”
After a moment of silence, Song Ling collected his thoughts and coldly said, “No need.”
“Tell me everything that just happened,” Song Ling demanded.
After landing, Song Ling learned from Zhao Xuan about Gu Dai’s whereabouts and the Legendary Doctor treating Gu Yin. He hurried to find her, unaware of the exact details.
Zhao Xuan recounted, “Gu Yin was injured by her father, Wen Ye. Miss Gu came to Chuanchen to handle this. Wen Ye caused a scene at the hospital. He’s a burly man and made a big fuss, Miss Gu…”
Song Ling interjected, “Did Gu Dai get hurt?”
Before Zhao Xuan could reply, Song Ling scoffed, “She looked perfectly fine. Why should I worry about her?”
Zhao Xuan didn’t know how to respond, but eventually, he revealed, “Miss Gu is agile and not only avoided injury but also beat up Wen Ye.”
Song Ling simply grunted.
Zhao Xuan, noting Song Ling’s silence, spoke up softly, “President Song, I bought a photo of the Legendary Doctor for a million yuan from a doctor.”
Song Ling’s eyes flickered, asking, “Where’s the photo?”
Wiping sweat from his face, Zhao Xuan replied, “It’s in my phone. I’ll send it to you.”
Zhao Xuan coughed lightly, adding, “The photo is quite blurry, and it’s hard to get any useful information from it.”
Song Ling nodded, “It’s fine, just send it to me.”
Even if he couldn’t glean useful information, Song Ling didn’t want to miss any detail about the Legendary Doctor.
Zhao Xuan nodded, “Alright.”
Despite his attempts to resist, Song Ling couldn’t overcome his feelings. After a moment, he turned to Zhao Xuan, “Find out where Gu Dai is having dinner and take me there.”
Zhao Xuan quickly agreed, internally mocking Song Ling’s apparent infatuation with Gu Dai. Even after being rejected, he seemed to disregard his pride completely..
