Chapter 494: Supportive Attitude
Translator: _Min_
When Gu Dai arrived home, she found everyone in the living room, dark circles under their eyes from worry.
After settling Su Ting, she hurried over to them, questioning, “What’s all this…?”
Xu Huan embraced Gu Dai tightly, her voice filled with emotion, “Daidai, it’s good you’re safe, it’s so good you’re all safe!”
Gu Dai hugged her back, reassuring, “Grandma, I’m fine.”
Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi looked at Gu Dai excitedly.
Upon seeing Gu Dai, Gu Yin’s worries dissipated, and she fell asleep on the sofa, deeply relieved.
Gu Dai had instructed the pilot to find a place with signal the night before, just to send a message to her family and alleviate their concerns, yet they had still waited up for her.
She sighed softly, “I’m really okay. Don’t worry about me anymore. Please, go get some rest and have a good sleep.”
Xu Huan agreed, “Okay.”
After Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi escorted Xu Huan and Gu Yin to rest, they returned to the living room, their gazes intensely fixed on Gu Dai.
Feeling a flutter of nerves, Gu Dai instinctively moved closer to Su Ting, her anxiety easing as she asked softly, “Second Brother, Third Brother, why are you looking at me like that?”
Meng Chuan took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, “Daidai, why did you go on a business trip to such a dangerous country?”
Meng Zhi followed up, “And you kept it a secret from us!”
Gu Dai coughed lightly, “I was afraid you would stop me. I…”
Meng Chuan sighed softly, “In the future, you must tell us about these things. If you insist on going, we’ll support you and arrange more protection for you.”
Meng Zhi asked, “Are you hurt?”
Gu Dai shook her head, “I’m fine. It’s Su Ting who got hurt trying to save me.”
Su Ting?
Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi turned their heads to look at Su Ting on the sofa.
Gu Dai recounted what had happened abroad.
The looks Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi gave Su Ting then sparkled with gratitude as they excitedly grasped his hand, “Thank you, thank you for saving Daidai. From now on, you’re our brother.”
Gu Dai stepped forward, pulling Su Ting’s arm back, “He can’t be your brother.”
Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi paused, then quickly said, “Right, right. We shouldn’t just decide to make Su Ting our brother without asking him. We should ask if he wants to be our older brother or our younger brother.”
Su Ting coughed lightly, “Can I be your cousin-in-law?”
Meng Chuan questioned, “Cousin-in-law?”
Meng Zhi looked between Gu Dai and Su Ting, disbelief in his voice, “Are you two together?”
Gu Dai held Su Ting’s hand, confirming, “Yes.”
She then asked Meng Zhi, “Is that not okay?”
Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi shook their heads.
Su Ting’s heart fluttered, his grip tightening before he hastily let go, not wanting to hurt Gu Dai.
Gu Dai frowned, asking, “Why?”
Realizing their initial reaction might have been ambiguous, Meng Chuan quickly clarified, “We had a feeling, but still, hearing you’re together took us by surprise.”
Meng Zhi nodded, “I support your relationship!”
Su Ting was surprised by their easy acceptance.
Meng Chuan smiled, “As long as Daidai is happy, we’ll support you. But if you ever treat Daidai poorly, don’t blame us for being harsh.”
Meng Zhi raised a fist, “We’ll have you on the ground!”
Su Ting hastily promised to treat Gu Dai well, removing any reason for them to act on their threat.
Gu Dai’s stomach growled, “I haven’t eaten since being on the plane. I’m quite hungry now. I’ll cook.”
Meng Zhi and Meng Chuan stopped her, “Daidai, we’ve been practicing our cooking recently. Wait and try our dishes.”
They busied themselves in the kitchen.
Meng Chuan announced, “Daidai, Su Ting, please eat.”
Gu Dai burped, “Second Brother, Third Brother, stop cooking. We’re already full.”
Meng Zhi approached Gu Dai, worriedly asking, “Is it because our cooking wasn’t tasty?”
Su Ting reassured, “No.”
Gu Dai sighed, looking at the table full of dishes, “The taste is actually very good. It’s just that there’s too much food, and we’re too full to eat anymore.”
Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi tasted the food, finding it satisfactory, and finally believed Gu Dai’s words..
