Upon hearing her name, Gu Dai’s gaze deepened slightly, and a flurry of thoughts emerged in her mind, eventually converging towards a possibility.

The angry tirades of Father Su continued unabated, but Su Ci had already tuned them out, his gaze fixed on Gu Dai with a mix of nervousness and a touch of sadness.

It was only after the voice of Father Su ceased that Su Ci spoke slowly, “I’m currently on the island. If there’s anything, let’s meet tomorrow morning at eight and talk then.”

Father Su was taken aback, “The island?”

“Yes, the one you’re thinking of,” Su Ci responded.

Father Su’s voice as cold as ice retorted, “You dare to run off to the island! Since you want to meet and talk, I’ll fly over now. Don’t regret it tomorrow!”

Lin Chen, upon hearing the phone hang up, voiced his bewilderment, “Is this the person Suisui likes? He sounds so fierce, and his temper seems bad. What’s there to like about him?”

Aad, not even bothering to respond to Lin Chen, shot him a glare before softly asking Gu Dai, “Do we need to lock him up?”

Su Ting, hearing Aad’s gentle tone towards Gu Dai, watched her warily.

Faced with Aad’s question, Gu Dai pondered for a few seconds before gently shaking her head and then requested, “Please arrange a room for him.”

Though Aad did not understand, she did not question Gu Dai’s decision further and nodded softly, “Alright.”

A thought had emerged in Gu Dai’s mind, a possibility hard for her to accept, making her unwilling to face Su Ci for the time being.

After escorting Su Ci to his room, Su Ting did not leave immediately but stood behind him in silence. After a long while, he finally spoke, “Big brother, are you still not ready to talk about what you’re hiding?”

Su Ci lowered his head, “I restored the surveillance at the villa’s entrance. I know you were hiding behind the tree that day. You must have guessed it by now.”

Su Ting pressed his lips together, “I indeed have a guess, but I’d rather hear the real reason from you. I don’t want any misunderstandings.”

Turning to face Su Ting’s earnest expression, Su Ci felt a moment of daze, reminiscent of their first meeting at the orphanage, then chuckled lightly, “I can tell you the reason now.”

Having been rejected many times before, Su Ting did not hold much hope. Shocked at the response, he stared wide-eyed and hurriedly said, “I’ll call Daidai over. We can talk when Daidai arrives.”

After a moment’s hesitation, Su Ci agreed, “Okay, let’s wait for Daidai to come.”

As the door opened, Gu Dai entered, her gaze lowered as she softly said, “Speak.”

Bowing to Gu Dai and Su Ting, Su Ci apologized in a m.u.f.fled tone, “I’m sorry for keeping this from you for so long… I overestimated myself, thinking I could protect you with my abilities, but now I realize I’m not capable.”

After finis.h.i.+ng his statement, Su Ci quickly added, looking at Gu Dai, “Daidai, although my father has always told me to target you, I’ve never done so. Do you believe me?”

Meeting Su Ci’s anxious gaze, Gu Dai recalled the gentle and caring Su Ci, who always seemed like an elder brother, and softly said, “I believe you wouldn’t harm me.”

Relieved by Gu Dai’s response, Su Ci finally relaxed.

Gu Dai then asked, “Why does your father want to target me? To target the Gu family?”

Su Ci shook his head slightly, “I don’t know the specifics. All I know is that he wants to target you, and…”

Gu Dai frowned, “And what?”

After a few seconds of silence, Su Ci, suppressing the pain in his heart, said, “Daidai, actually, I’m your cousin.”

Gu Dai was stunned, “Cousin?”

If what Su Ci said was true, that meant…

Gu Dai asked, “Are you saying your dad and my dad are actually brothers?”

Su Ci nodded, “Yes.”

Gu Dai stepped back, shaking her head in disbelief, “Impossible, how can this be? I’ve never heard grandma mention this.”

Su Ci lowered his head, his voice hoa.r.s.e, “This is what I learned from my father. Everything I’ve said is true.”

Gu Dai thought of many possibilities, but never that she and Su Ci could be related by blood.

At that moment, her mind went blank, and she opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a single word..
