Chapter 534: You Wouldn’t Harm Me

Translator: _Min_ |

Su Ting wanted to persuade her further, but when he met Gu Dai’s gaze, the words he had ready at the tip of his tongue refused to come out.

Gu Dai spoke softly, “You just need to take good care of yourself, so I don’t have to work so hard.”

Su Ting’s expression was resolute as he nodded, “Okay!”

He lowered his head to look at the documents in his hands and quickly made a decision.

Gu Dai asked, “Are we continuing with these projects?”

Su Ting nodded, “Their sincerity is substantial, and the projects are promising, aligning with Su Corporation’s future direction. We should keep them.”

Gu Dai nodded in agreement, “Okay.”

Seeing Gu Dai turning to leave for work, Su Ting couldn’t help but reach out and hold her back, “Daidai, I’m awake now. Let me handle those tasks.”

Gu Dai looked at Su Ting and seriously inquired, “Are you sure you can sit up?”

Su Ting was startled for a moment, only to realize he was devoid of strength, utterly powerless.

He was somewhat bewildered, “What’s happening to me?”

Gu Dai replied, “To ensure you rest better.”

Watching Gu Dai diligently work, a few minutes later, Su Ting remembered the feeling of relaxation spreading through his body after the silver needles were applied to his acupoints, “Daidai, were you just easing my wounds?”

Gu Dai, with a smile, didn’t answer but instead asked, “Aren’t you afraid I was actually making your condition worse just now?”

Su Ting shook his head, his eyes sparkling as he earnestly replied, “Daidai, I know you wouldn’t harm me.”

Gu Dai felt a tremor in her heart and, after a long moment of turmoil, averted her gaze and murmured, “Mhmm.”

Unable to hold back, Su Ting said, “I need to recover quickly to prevent other men from taking advantage of my vulnerability.”

He spoke through clenched teeth, his words carrying an inexplicable pointedness.

Gu Dai immediately understood his implication and seriously said, “I don’t like Song Ling, so he won’t have a chance.”

After saying that, she added, “Not just him, no man will have a chance, so don’t worry unnecessarily. Just focus on resting.”

Su Ting felt his heart melt with sweetness, obediently responding, “Okay!”

He listened to the sound of Gu Dai’s pen moving across the paper, and slowly, sleepiness overtook him, leading him into a dream before long.

When Gu Dai looked up, she saw this scene and couldn’t help but daydream, recalling the moment Su Ting woke up, which was actually spurred by Song Yu’s words.

Regaining her senses, Gu Dai found herself beside Su Ting’s hospital bed, her fingers touching his slightly pale face.

She remembered Su Ting facing so many people alone on the ship, her eyes filling with tears, and recalled his sparkling eyes upon waking, feeling as if her heart, tightly clenched, had finally relaxed.

Staring at his sleeping face, Gu Dai whispered softly, “So foolish…”

Meng Zhi, standing at the door of the ward, heard these words. He couldn’t help but look through the slight gap in the door, only to see Gu Dai bending down to kiss Su Ting’s cheek. He quickly turned and left quietly.

Shi Nuan saw Meng Zhi come back with lunch and asked puzzledly, “Why did you bring it back?”

Meng Zhi replied, “Daidai is currently occupied. We’ll eat this portion, and I’ll bring another one for them later.”

Shi Nuan was still confused by dinner time, “Why was it inconvenient? What happened just now?”

A glint flashed in Meng Zhi’s eyes, “Do you want to know?”

Shi Nuan nodded eagerly, “Yes.”

Meng Zhi smiled lightly and said, “I’ll tell you.”

Shi Nuan looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to describe the situation, but to her surprise, he didn’t speak but just stared at her.

Impatient, she urged, “Come on, tell me.”

Meng Zhi said, “I think it’s not quite appropriate to speak of it. It’s better to express it through actions.”

Shi Nuan, indifferent to the method, quickly responded, “Okay.”

Then, she saw Meng Zhi slowly moving closer, their breaths intertwining…

Upon learning that Song Yu’s condition had normalized, Wang Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s good that everything is fine.”

Song Yu came back to her senses, “Mom, why did you pull me away when I was speaking up for brother in front of Sister Gu Dai?”

Wang Lan wanted to say that Song Ling had no chance with Gu Dai, but before she could speak, Song Yu suddenly screamed.

She quickly asked, “Yuyu, what’s wrong?”

Song Yu excitedly exclaimed, “I saw brother!”

After saying these words, she ran towards Song Ling, who had just finished entertaining guests and was leaving the restaurant, “Brother, I saw Sister Gu Dai in the hospital just now!”
