Gu Dai nestled on the couch, her gaze fixed on the computer, her mind replaying moments that sent her heart racing.

“Dai…” Su Ting called out.

Gu Dai instantly sat up, “What’s wrong?”

Su Ting was monitoring the cameras near the Gu residence. “Song Ling is here.”

Gu Dai saw the footage of Song Ling getting out of his car and frowned slightly, “Why is he here?”

As her question hung in the air, Wu Zhen entered and announced, “Miss, President Song of Song Corporation is here. He says he has something to discuss with you.”

Gu Dai did not wish to see Song Ling, “Uncle Wu, please tell him I’m busy and can’t see him.”

Wu Zhen nodded, “Alright, Miss.”

He promptly relayed Gu Dai’s message to Song Ling, then said, “President Song, please leave.”

Song Ling stared at the gate of the Gu residence and said calmly, “So, this is just an excuse because Gu Dai doesn’t want to see me.”

Wu Zhen maintained his composure, politely smiling at Song Ling.

Song Ling looked down at his phone, at the newspaper article from when Gu Dai had saved him and his speculation about her involvement with aromatherapy, his resolve hardening, “I won’t leave! I’ll wait here at the doorstep. I don’t believe she’ll never leave the house.”

Wu Zhen reported back to Gu Dai inside.

Gu Dai nodded, replying indifferently, “If he wants to wait, let him wait at the door.”

Hearing Gu Dai’s decision, Su Ting sighed in relief.

Seeing his reaction, Gu Dai couldn’t help but tease, “Don’t worry, I don’t like him now.”

Su Ting nodded obediently, “Mhmm.”

Gu Dai couldn’t resist teasing him further, leaning in to whisper, “I only like you now.”

Su Ting was taken aback, his cheeks instantly flushing red.

Gu Dai laughed and kissed him.

As Gu Dai tried to pull away, Su Ting wrapped his arms around her, leaning in for a kiss.

Just as Su Ting was about to kiss Gu Dai, his phone rang.

Seeing Su Ting ignore the call and continue his advance, Gu Dai pushed him away gently, reminding softly, “Someone is looking for you.”

Su Ting exhaled and, after dimming the light in his eyes, picked up the phone, “What’s up?”

“President Su, our partner suddenly went on strike, halting several of our projects.”

Su Ting, who had recently founded his company and secured multiple projects due to his talent, was caught off guard by the sudden issue.

He calmly instructed, “a.s.sistant Yang, don’t panic. I’ll see what’s going on.”

Hearing this, Yang Gao calmed down, “President Su, I’ll also look into it.”

Close enough to overhear, Gu Dai asked, “Do you need my help?”

Su Ting shook his head, “This is the first challenge I’ve faced; I want to handle it myself. I’ll ask for your help if I can’t resolve it.”

“Okay,” Gu Dai responded, adding, “You can always ask me; I’m always available.”

While Su Ting was investigating, Gu Dai also started her own search on her computer.

It was unlikely for the project to halt without reason, suggesting potential sabotage by compet.i.tors.

Gu Dai quickly found evidence of other companies instigating strikes at Su’s partners, including the w.a.n.g Corporation and Song Company.

Su Ting then shared, “Dadai, I found out a company is targeting me. I need to go to the office to deal with this.”

“I’ll come with you,” Gu Dai offered.

As they reached the door, Song Ling confronted them.

“Gu Dai, I need to talk to you!” he said urgently.

Gu Dai walked past Song Ling, replying indifferently, “I’m busy right now, I don’t have time for a chat.”

Song Ling attempted to grab Gu Dai’s arm but was thwarted by Su Ting.

“President Song, please be respectful,” Su Ting said coldly.

Song Ling’s expression darkened.

Gu Dai got into the car, followed by Su Ting.

Song Ling rushed after them, “Gu Dai, I know it was you who saved me back then, I…”

Before he could finish, the car sped away.

Su Ting looked at Gu Dai, “Dadai, about Song Ling…”

Focused on her computer, Gu Dai said indifferently, “He’s not important. What’s most important now is resolving the issues the company is facing..”
