Translator: _Min_
When Gu Dai entered with the documents in hand, she spotted Su Ting deep in thought and couldn’t resist walking over to ruffle his hair, softly inquiring, “What did Su Ci just tell you that has you looking so glum?”
Su Ting snapped back to reality, responding quietly, “He didn’t answer the phone. I’ll contact him again later.”
Gu Dai nodded, “Alright. Tell Su Ci that grandma really wants to thank him in person. When he has time, we should all go out for a meal together.”
Su Ting nodded obediently, “Okay.”
In the suburban villa, Su Ci, noticing the lit-up screen of his phone, felt his heart beat rapidly, hurriedly hanging up the call in panic.
Father Su continued to berate, “I’m telling you, as long as I’m alive, I won’t let you walk all over me!”
Su Ci couldn’t stop pondering how much the person on the other end of the phone might have heard, having no mood to entangle with his father any longer, he turned and left with in big strides.
Watching Su Ci’s retreating figure, his father scolded, “To walk away just like that, how rude! Do you even regard me at all?”
Sitting in the car, Su Ci took a deep breath, his fingers trembling uncontrollably as he saw that the call was to Su Ting, almost unable to hold the phone steady.
He took another deep breath and tentatively sent out a message.
Su Ci: What did you hear just now?
Before going to bed, Su Ting checked his phone and discovered the message from Su Ci.
After pondering for a moment, he replied: I heard some quarreling. What happened, did you get into a fight with someone? And I think I heard mine and Daidai’s names.
Su Ci must have been staring at his phone, for his reply came immediately after sending his message.
Su Ci: No fight, just a disagreement with someone. By the way, what was it you wanted to call me about?
Su Ting: Grandma Gu wants to host a dinner to thank us for saving Daidai. She asked me to see when you’d be available.
Su Ci: I’m not busy lately, anytime works for me.
Seeing Su Ting focused on his phone, Gu Dai curiously asked, “What are you looking at?”
Su Ting looked up with a smile, “Brother has finished his work. He says he’s free to have dinner anytime.”
Gu Dai nodded, “Good.”
She bent down to gently kiss Su Ting’s cheek, “You haven’t fully recovered yet. Go to bed early and don’t stay up late.”
Before Gu Dai could leave, Su Ting grabbed her hand, his eyes sparkling with inquiry, “Daidai, may I kiss you?”
Gu Dai, startled, her ears tinged with a blush, remembered that she had already taken the initiative to kiss Su Ting. Refusing him now would indeed be quite hypocritical.
She cleared her throat and nodded, “You may.”
After a brief kiss, Su Ting parted from Gu Dai, smiling, “Daidai, good night.”
While Su Ting was recovering, Gu Dai had been caring for him in the hospital. To keep a close watch on him, she had set up a small bed beside his.
Gu Dai, who had been busy with work all day, soon fell into a deep sleep upon lying down.
Listening to her gentle breathing, Su Ting turned over in the darkness towards her, feeling a sense of comfort in his heart.
He thought about the message from Su Ci and sighed softly, his long lashes casting a shadow over the confusion in his eyes.
Su Ting didn’t believe that Su Ci’s interaction was merely a simple argument, especially since the other person even knew his background and about Daidai, indicating a complex identity.
But who could this person be? And what exactly was his brother hiding from him?
Su Ting was to be discharged the next day.
Gu Dai, looking unconvinced, said, “Are you sure you want to be discharged?”
Su Ting nodded, “Don’t worry, Daidai. The doctors said I’ve recovered well enough to recuperate at home.”
Gu Dai responded, “I also know medicine, and I think it’s better for you to rest more in the hospital.”
Su Ting gave her a pitiful look.
Gu Dai’s resolve softened when she saw Su Ting’s expression.
Seeing this, Su Ting hurriedly continued, “Daidai, I’ve been feeling so bored at the hospital lately. I want to change the scenery and lift my spirits. Besides, you’ve been taking care of me these days while I’ve been hospitalized, so it doesn’t matter if I go home now.”
After hearing Su Ting’s words, Gu Dai found his reasoning quite sound.
She finally agreed, “Alright, but after returning home, you still need plenty of rest.”
Su Ting nodded repeatedly, “Of course! Because I still need to focus on developing the company after I recover, and then I’ll make lots and lots of money for you, Daidai!”
