Chapter 319: You wouldn’t have listened to me
Translator: _Min_ |
Gu Dai had just stepped out of her car when she spotted a small figure standing at the doorway.
Gu Yin, with her tiny legs, quickly ran to Gu Dai, hugged her, and looked up at her with bright, adoring eyes. “Cousin, you’re finally back. I missed you so much.”
Gu Dai picked up Gu Yin, speaking indulgently, “Yinyin, you’re still in recovery. How can you stand at the door and let the wind blow on you?”
Gu Yin kissed Gu Dai’s cheek and clung to her, cooing, “I just missed you too much, Cousin.”
Meng Zhi couldn’t help but interject, “I can attest to that. Ever since she woke up, she’s been listless, only perking up around the time you finish work. She insisted on waiting for you at the door.”
Hearing Meng Zhi’s words, Gu Dai chuckled and then asked Gu Yin, “Are you bored staying at home, Yinyin?”
Gu Yin nodded, “A little. It’s so stuffy staying indoors all the time.”
Gu Dai suggested, “Tell Brother Meng Zhi about your favorite toys, and he can help you buy them. That way, you won’t be bored.”
Gu Yin nodded obediently, “Okay.”
But after a few seconds, she couldn’t help but say, “But I really want to go out.”
Gu Dai’s fingers briefly touched Gu Yin’s wrist, checking her pulse, then quickly moved away, “Yinyin’s injury is almost healed. After a few more days of good rest, you can go out. Then, we can familiarize you with the Captial’s environment and visit some fun places.”
Gu Yin’s eyes lit up, excitedly asking, “Really?”
Gu Dai affirmed with a certain look, “Of course, it’s true. But if Yinyin stands in the wind like today, recovery will be slower, and you won’t be able to go out.”
Gu Yin quickly promised, “I’ll rest well from now on!”
After saying this, she shyly glanced at Gu Dai several times and then said softly with a blushing face, “Cousin, I don’t want to go to fun places. I just want to be with you.”
Gu Dai smiled and replied, “You can be with me.”
Gu Dai understood Gu Yin’s attachment, having just escaped from Wen Ye’s situation. However, she also needed to teach her to rely less on others and be independent, especially when Gu Dai was not around.
Gu Dai said, “But Yinyin, you’re already a big girl now. You need to learn to be independent and not be afraid when I’m not with you.”
Gu Yin obediently agreed, “I understand, Cousin.”
Only then did Gu Yin notice the two men behind Gu Dai.
Gu Dai realized she hadn’t introduced them yet and said, “This is Su Ting.”
Gu Yin seemed to find Su Ting familiar. After a few seconds, she recognized him and excitedly asked Gu Dai, “Cousin, is he that super famous model? I’ve heard his name from my classmates.”
Gu Dai nodded, smiling, “Yes.”
Gu Yin’s gaze lingered on Su Ting, softly saying, “No wonder my classmates say Brother Su Ting is like a masterpiece carefully sculpted by the Goddess Nuwa. He’s really good-looking.”
Gu Yin then turned to Gu Dai, earnestly saying, “Cousin, you’re also a masterpiece sculpted by the Goddess Nuwa!”
Su Ting, Fu Nan, and Meng Zhi also nodded in agreement, saying, “That’s right!”
Gu Dai felt a bit helpless at their earnest expressions and, not knowing how to respond, shifted the topic to continue the introductions.
Gu Dai introduced, “This is Fu Nan. You can call him Brother Fu Nan.”
Gu Yin politely greeted, “Hello, Brother Fu Nan.”
Fu Nan, a bit awkward yet trying to appear calm, replied, “Hello, hello.”
After introducing Gu Yin to them, Gu Dai, prompted by her stomach, went to have dinner.
Meng Zhi watched Su Ting and Fu Nan following Gu Dai, nodding in satisfaction. It seemed that his little sister had truly moved on from Song Ling.
At the bar.
Song Ling sat on the sofa, his expression dark, drinking one glass after another.
Zhou Ci, accustomed to Song Ling’s demeanor, lounged on the sofa, his legs crossed, leisurely savoring his drink.
Zhou Ci prodded, “Tell me, what did Gu Dai do this time to upset you?”
Song Ling’s icy gaze swept over Zhou Ci, then he continued to drink.
Zhou Ci clicked his tongue twice, “I always thought Gu Dai was much better than Jiang Yue. But you were so fixated on Jiang Yue. Regretting it now, aren’t you?”
Song Ling coldly retorted, “You never advised me.”
Zhou Ci, puzzled, asked, “Didn’t I advise you?”
Zhou Ci couldn’t quite remember, but he was certain of one thing, “Even if I had advised you, you wouldn’t have listened to me!”
