Feeling the gaze upon him, Su Ting’s expression stiffened as he softly asked, “What’s wrong, Daidai?”
After a few seconds of silence, Gu Dai spoke, “Let’s repeat our conversation from just now.”
Although Su Ting couldn’t understand why, he complied, “Okay.”
Gu Dai’s lips curled into a smile, “This time, look at me when you answer.”
Su Ting’s complexion froze, “Dai… Daidai, let’s not do this, okay?”
Gu Dai insisted, “You must look at me when you answer.”
Taking a deep breath, Su Ting honestly said, “Daidai, I lied just now…”
He mustered the courage to continue, “If I were faced with that situation again, I would still go to save you. I don’t want you to get hurt. And if my death could save you, then…”
Mindful of Su Ting’s injuries, Gu Dai merely embraced him gently.
Su Ting, surprised to see Gu Dai leaning on his chest, and feeling the dampness on his shirt, urgently spoke, “Daidai, don’t cry. We can bring more bodyguards with us to ensure our safety. Please, don’t cry…”
Gu Dai shook her head, her voice muffled, “I just want some time to myself.”
Su Ting, anxious to know how Gu Dai felt but ultimately choosing not to speak, gently patted her back in comfort.
After composing herself, Gu Dai looked at Su Ting and earnestly said, “You don’t want me to get hurt, and I feel the same about you.”
She paused for a few seconds before continuing, “You want me to live, but the moment I thought you might die, I lost all hope of living. Even if I were to live for my relatives, I doubt I could ever appreciate the beauty of life… So, if we ever face such a situation again, let’s survive it together, okay?”
Meeting Gu Dai’s intense gaze, Su Ting felt his heart race faster, warmth spreading through him.
He found himself softly agreeing, “Okay.”
Gu Dai, “Then it’s a promise.”
Su Ting nodded, “Yes, it’s a promise.”
Gu Dai extended her hand, smiling, “Let’s pinky promise. If you lie after this, you’ll be a dog.”
Su Ting obediently extended his hand to pinky promise with Gu Dai, following with, “If I lie, then I’m a dog!”
Seeing Su Ting’s serious demeanor, Gu Dai finally felt at ease and then stood up to leave.
Su Ting, not expecting Gu Dai to leave after his promise, quickly reached out to stop her, “Daidai, are you still angry with me? I…”
Gu Dai, puzzled, looked at Su Ting and earnestly said, “I’m not angry.”
After saying this and meeting Su Ting’s panicked gaze, she realized, “I’m not leaving; I just need to work.”
Su Ting was taken aback, “Work?”
Gu Dai nodded, gesturing towards the makeshift desk and chair set up next to his bed with a pile of contracts on it, “Right next to your bed.”
Following Gu Dai’s gaze, Su Ting saw the temporary work station and felt relieved.
Gu Dai suddenly remembered something and brought a few contracts to Su Ting, “These projects need your decision.”
After a quick glance, Su Ting said, “Daidai, you’re already busy managing Gu Group’s affairs. Use your free time to rest, not to handle my projects.”
Gu Dai replied, “Your company’s projects need attention, or they’ll incur breach of contract penalties.”
Su Ting shook his head, unconcerned, “So be it.”
He paused for a few seconds, then earnestly said, “No amount of money is more important than your health.”
Touched by his words, Gu Dai’s heart skipped a beat, and she struggled to suppress her happiness, calmly saying, “But among these projects, there are collaborations with Gu Group.”
Su Ting replied, “Then handling those ones are enough.”
After a few deep breaths and mental preparations, Gu Dai looked at Su Ting seriously, “Are we a couple?”
Su Ting’s eyes sparkled as he nodded vigorously, excitedly saying, “Yes!”
Gu Dai, “Since we’re a couple, then it’s possible we’ll get married in the future, right?”
Su Ting corrected, “We will definitely get married!”
Gu Dai nodded, “In that case, your Su Corporation assets will eventually be mine too, so I’m actually managing my own assets..”
