In the bar, where the lights s.h.i.+mmered and the music echoed through every corner.

Song Ling found the noise unbearable, his brow furrowed as he downed one drink after another, muttering, “This is so annoying.”

Zhou Ci leisurely sipped his drink and spoke calmly, “If I remember correctly, it was your choice to come to the bar.”

Song Ling gave Zhou Ci a blank stare.

Zhou Ci, unfazed, continued, “What has Gu Dai done this time to upset you?”

After several incidents, he knew without asking that Gu Dai must have influenced Song Ling’s mood.

Song Ling didn’t immediately respond, and Zhou Ci waited patiently for him to speak.

Continuing to drink, Song Ling finally spoke, slurring his words, “Gu Dai really doesn’t seem to like me.”

Zhou Ci couldn’t help but roll his eyes, “You’re just realizing that now?”

Song Ling, thoroughly drunk, didn’t catch what Zhou Ci was saying, and continued, “If I had known Gu Dai was on that s.h.i.+p, I would have definitely gone to rescue her. It’s all because my subordinates are so incompetent and didn’t inform me in time. I missed the chance to be a hero and make her fall in love with me.”

Zhou Ci struggled to follow Song Ling’s ramblings but didn’t interrupt, waiting for him to continue.

Song Ling mused, “No wonder Gu Dai has been taking care of Su Ting recently. So that’s why. I understand now, I understand it all!”

Zhou Ci couldn’t help but ask, “What exactly do you understand?”

Song Ling declared, “I understand that they stole my chance to be a hero and the opportunity for Gu Dai to fall in love with me!”

After downing two more drinks, Song Ling said, “But it’s okay. Next time, I’ll be ahead of them. I still have a chance. Yes, I still have a chance, haha, I still have a chance!”

Zhou Ci, watching Song Ling laugh inexplicably, found the whole situation bizarre.

Feeling the curious gazes from around them, he quickly called over a waiter, “Get me a private room and take my frie… take him to the room.”

The waiter responded, “Of course, sir. Please head to the private room, and we’ll carefully bring your friend over without b.u.mping him!”

Zhou Ci, his expression souring, paused his motion to grab his wallet to tip, and muttered a subdued, “Hmm.”

He had almost refused to acknowledge Song Ling as his friend, and the waiter’s comment had instantly soured his mood.

After resting for another two days, Su Ting was eager to return to work.

Gu Dai firmly opposed, “No, you need to rest more.”

Su Ting, sidling up to Gu Dai and tugging at her arm, coaxed, “Daidai, I’ve already recovered. Let me go to work. Besides, I’ll be discussing partners.h.i.+ps at the office; I won’t be moving much or touching my wounds.”

Gu Dai remained worried, “But…”

Su Ting rea.s.sured her with a smile, “Yang Gao will be there to discuss the project with me. Plus, with so many people at the office, if anything happens, they’ll definitely notice right away.”

Seeing Su Ting’s determination, Gu Dai reluctantly agreed, “Okay, but you must prioritize your health once you’re at the office. If you feel unwell, stop working immediately. Don’t push yourself, okay?”

Su Ting nodded, “I understand!”

Still concerned, Gu Dai checked Su Ting’s condition multiple times. Only when she was sure he was alright did she let him go.

After Su Ting left, Gu Dai felt a sense of unease, often glancing at places he used to be around the house. Finally, she sighed, “It seems I should head back to work too.”

Gu Dai prepared to head to the office with her project files when she encountered Meng Zhi’s secretive gaze.

She stopped and asked in confusion, “Third brother, what’s wrong?”

Meng Zhi coughed lightly, “Daidai, I’m fine. Are you heading to work? If so, you should go ahead. I won’t keep you.”

Gu Dai sensed something was amiss. Meng Zhi usually would have tried to stop her from going to work, not urge her to go. “Third brother, are you hiding something from me?”

Meng Zhi was startled, his gaze dodging as he replied in a fl.u.s.ter, “No, I’m not hiding anything from you!”

Gu Dai remained silent, her gaze fixed on Meng Zhi..
