Chapter 566: Signed the Contract
Translator: _Min_
Lin Chen’s expression stiffened momentarily. Just by hearing Aad’s words, he could already envision the nagging scene in his mind and hastily responded, “I promise, I promise. I’ll issue the order right away to ensure the airport is closely monitored tomorrow.”
After making this statement, he summoned a guard, issued his orders, and then strode away.
Watching Lin Chen depart, Gu Dai voiced his confusion, “Why is he heading back there?”
Aad, with a hint of irritation on his face as he watched Lin Chen’s retreating figure, said, “He’s definitely off to see Wang Sui again. I really don’t understand what’s so appealing about such a scheming woman. Let’s change the subject and not talk about that vexing Wang Sui.”
Gu Dai nodded in agreement, then began, “I wanted to discuss a project with you, but the king…”
Aad dismissed the concern with a wave of her hand, “We don’t need him. Just tell me about the project.”
Su Ci, puzzled, asked, “Why?”
Aad explained casually, “To prevent my father from being tempted by beauty again, I’ve taken the decision-making power from him. Now, I’ll handle all matters related to partnerships.”
Hearing this, Gu Dai mentioned, “It’s a clean energy project.”
Aad frowned, “It’s a new project, so there’s a high chance it might not be profitable.”
Her face showed some hesitation, but it faded after a few seconds, and she looked at Gu Dai seriously, “Even though it’s risky, since you’re proposing it, I’m willing to take part even at the risk of a loss.”
Upon hearing Aad’s words and seeing her serious gaze towards Gu Dai, Su Ting felt a surge of insecurity and involuntarily stepped forward, blocking her view.
Gu Dai, seeing Su Ting’s action, smiled helplessly and assured, “Don’t worry, my company doesn’t develop projects that will incur losses. You can check the contract in a bit.”
Aad was still skeptical, but encouraged by Gu Dai’s confident tone, she nodded, “Okay.”
Her doubts disappeared upon reviewing Gu Dai’s plan, and she looked up incredulously, excitedly asking, “Are you sure you want to partner with us on this project? It has so much potential for growth, and you’re actually choosing us!”
Gu Dai confirmed, “Yes, I want us to work together. Are you willing?”
Aad nodded eagerly, “Of course, I’m willing. I’m even afraid you might change your mind about partnering with us.”
After saying this, she quickly found the place to sign her name, satisfied, “Great, I’m signing my name now, so you won’t have the chance to back out.”
Gu Dai chuckled, “I never thought about backing out.”
After Aad handed the document to Su Ting, she extended her hand to Gu Dai, “Here’s to a successful partnership.”
Gu Dai, smiling, shook Aad’s hand, “To a successful partnership.”
Feeling the envious gazes, Aad suddenly had an idea, her eyes lighting up as she leaned in to whisper to Gu Dai, “Can we have a word alone?”
Once aside, Gu Dai asked, puzzled, “Is there an issue with the project?”
Aad shook her head vigorously, “Of course not about the project!”
Confused, Gu Dai probed, “Then what is it?”
Aad cleared her throat and whispered, “I think your boyfriend really loves you.”
Gu Dai instinctively looked back towards Su Ting’s location, meeting his gaze directly.
Su Ting, caught off guard by Gu Dai’s sudden glance, froze, then looked away in confusion.
Gu Dai couldn’t help but laugh softly, nodding, “I love him too.”
Aad’s smile brightened, “I wish you both everlasting happiness!”
After saying this, her cheeks tinted with a blush, she whispered, “I was wondering, when you get married, could I get an invitation to witness your happiness?”
At the mention of “marriage,” Gu Dai’s ears turned red, and he stuttered, “Ye- yes,you can.”
Aad smiled contentedly.
Seeing Su Ting still in disarray, she joked, “After hearing your descriptions of love in the secret room, I realized I was only attracted to Gu Dai’s looks, not emotionally. And…”
After a brief pause, Aad whispered, “I’ve realized I have someone I truly like, so don’t worry about me trying to steal your girlfriend.”
