Chapter 555: Invitation to the Birthday Banquet

Translator: _Min_

After sending a message, Gu Dai stepped out and immediately saw Su Ting, along with Aad in front of him. A myriad of thoughts flooded her mind as she pondered how to react if his ident.i.ty were exposed.

She approached Su Ting’s side and looked towards Aad, saying, “Miss, may I ask if there’s something you need?”

Aad frowned subconsciously, but her eyes lit up upon seeing Gu Dai’s face. She threw away her umbrella, leaned in close with a sleazy grin, and asked, “What’s your name, beauty? Are you free to attend my birthday party tomorrow?”

The maid, witnessing this scene, shook her head helplessly.

Aad was known for her obsession with attractive individuals, regardless of gender, though her orientation leaned towards women.

The maid realized immediately that Aad had taken a liking to Gu Dai.

Not just the maid, Su Ting noticed it too. His expression darkened as he was about to reveal his relations.h.i.+p with Gu Dai.

Gu Dai quickly grasped what Su Ting intended to do, grabbed him, and then said to Aad, “You’re Miss Aad?”

Aad nodded, “Yes, that’s me. You’ve heard of me, beauty? Then about the birthday party tomorrow…”

Gu Dai smiled and nodded, “I’ve heard you’re a wonderful person. Rest a.s.sured, I will definitely attend your birthday party tomorrow.”

Aad, dazzled by Gu Dai’s smile, couldn’t resist holding her hand for a moment. Noticing the way Gu Dai held onto Su Ting, she asked, “What is your relations.h.i.+p with this gentleman?”

Su Ting took a deep breath, reminding himself not to interrupt Gu Dai’s plan, and clenched his teeth without saying a word.

Gu Dai softly said, “He’s my older brother; we are siblings.”

Aad nodded, “I see. Then I won’t disturb your work.”

Gu Dai nodded in response, “Alright.”

Before leaving, Aad reminded, “Don’t forget to come to my birthday party.”

Gu Dai a.s.sured her promptly, “I won’t forget.”

After Aad had left and the garden was devoid of people, Su Ting looked at Gu Dai with a pout and muttered, “Daidai, she has ulterior motives towards you.”

Gu Dai nodded, “I know.”

Su Ting’s eyes widened, “You know and yet you agreed to attend her party. Could it be… could it be…”

With a sigh, Gu Dai explained, “I don’t like her. I only have feelings for you. The reason I agreed to attend is because I found out Miss Aad’s ident.i.ty is that of a princess, and attending her birthday party could be a chance to find the mastermind behind this.”

Su Ting nodded, but still couldn’t help asking, “Do you truly like only me?”

Gu Dai replied earnestly and firmly, “Of course!”

Rea.s.sured by her words, Su Ting then asked, “Daidai, what did big brother’s men say earlier?”

Frowning, Gu Dai responded with a serious tone, “They went to check the place my parents described as their prison but found no clues.”

Su Ting a.n.a.lyzed, lowering his gaze, “Perhaps there are places we haven’t inspected yet, like hidden rooms… If not, it means uncle and auntie aren’t held here, which complicates things.”

Agreeing, Gu Dai sighed, “Let’s first trim the plants to avoid suspicion. We’ll look for clues tonight.”

“Alright,” Su Ting agreed.

As night fell, Gu Dai and Su Ting exchanged glances and set out. However, they didn’t expect to be stopped shortly by a deep male voice.

A guard coldly asked, “Who are you two, sneaking around here so late?”

Gu Dai took a deep breath and explained with a smile, “We’re gardeners tasked with landscaping. We just finished over there and came out to see if there’s anywhere else that needs work. It’s our first time at the castle, and we’re not familiar with it, so we accidentally got lost trying to return to the garden and ended up here.”

Su Ting quickly added, “Officer, could you please show us the way back?”

The guard scrutinized them and, seeing their sincere expressions, started to believe them. Then, remembering something, he asked, “Are you the two commoners invited to Miss Aad’s birthday party?”

Gu Dai and Su Ting nodded.

The guard’s demeanor became more respectful, “I’ll escort you back..”
