Chapter 321: Block Song Ling
Translator: _Min_ |
Song Ling, though confused, commanded Zhou Ci, “Regardless of whether I have the right, from today onwards, you are not allowed to like Gu Dai!”
Song Ling felt that if Zhou Ci wasn’t a brother he had known for many years, he would have fought him right there.
Watching Song Ling’s staggering departure, Zhou Ci thought him absurd and promptly dismissed his warning.
Once outside, Song Ling looked up at the dark sky, his eyes reflecting uncertainty.
He had always denied it, firmly believing that his feelings for Gu Dai were only guilt and that his kindness was mere compensation.
But was it really just guilt?
Recalling the moment when Zhou Ci mentioned pursuing Gu Dai, the momentary pause of his heart, and his recent emotional fluctuations because of her, Song Ling suddenly realized his feelings for Gu Dai might be more than just guilt—it could be… love.
The word ‘love’ echoed in his mind, accompanied by Gu Dai’s image. He admitted to himself that he indeed loved her.
Having reached this conclusion, he hesitantly dialed Zhao Xuan’s number.
Zhao Xuan, groggily waking from sleep, asked in confusion, “President Song, what do you need?”
After a pause, Song Ling finally said, “Do you have any methods for pursuing a girl?”
Pursuing a girl? Zhao Xuan was shocked to hear such words from Song Ling and doubted whether he was still half-asleep.
He instinctively asked, “President Song, are you thinking of pursuing Miss Gu Dai?”
Song Ling, feeling exposed, reacted with a pounding heart, “I asked you for recommendations, why are you guessing?”
Hearing Song Ling’s tone, Zhao Xuan became more convinced that the person he liked was indeed Gu Dai. With his sleepiness evaporated, he excitedly suggested, “President Song, I think you should first be nice to Miss Gu Dai.” Zhao Xuan’s reference to “Miss Gu Dai” made Song Ling purse his lips, wanting to deny, but ultimately he said nothing.
After all, Zhao Xuan would find out sooner or later, and there was no need to deny it.
As Zhao Xuan shared his ideas, Song Ling couldn’t help but retort, “What kind of lousy idea is that? Don’t I know that already?”
Zhao Xuan felt wronged, remembering Song Ling’s past attitude towards Gu Dai and thinking it was crucial for him.
Zhao Xuan added, “President Song, if you’re pursuing a girl, it’s essential to know what she likes.”
Recalling that he already knew Gu Dai’s dining preferences, Song Ling felt somewhat satisfied with Zhao Xuan’s words and indicated him to continue.
Zhao Xuan, encouraged by Song Ling’s attitude, continued, “Most importantly, you must frequently appear before Miss Gu Dai, making your presence felt, so she doesn’t forget you.”
After Song Ling hung up, his gaze landed on Gu Dai’s contact information. After half an hour of contemplation, he resolved to call her.
However, to his surprise, Gu Dai hung up as soon as he dialed. Song Ling, thinking she might have done it accidentally, felt slightly better and called again. This time, the call wasn’t immediately disconnected but was still hung up after a few rings.
Undeterred, Song Ling called once more, only to be greeted by an automated voice message.
“You have reached a number that is temporarily unavailable, please try again later…”
Song Ling was no fool; he knew he had been blocked by Gu Dai.
At the Gu residence.
After blocking Song Ling, Gu Dai instantly felt the air around her become fresher. She regretted not blocking him sooner, instead of waiting until now.
Seeing Gu Dai’s actions, Gu Yin asked curiously, “Cousin, was that a call from someone you dislike?”
Gu Dai nodded, “Something like that.”
Gu Yin thoughtfully asked, “Cousin, was it that brother from the plane?”
Gu Dai, surprised that Gu Yin knew even this, was momentarily taken aback.
Gu Yin declared, “Since it’s someone Cousin dislikes, I dislike them too. Goodnight, Cousin. Rest early..”
