Chapter 426: Who is it

Translator: _Min_ |

Gu Dai nodded without further questioning. She suddenly remembered the scene when Su Ci saved her life. She bowed her head, speaking in a muffled voice, “You must have suffered a lot in these three years. Back then, you could have escaped alone in the lifeboat, but you gave me that chance. If you hadn’t…”

Su Ci interrupted her, looking at her earnestly, “Daidai, I have no regrets. Even if I had to choose again, I would still let you take the lifeboat.”

Tears fell from Gu Dai’s eyes.

Su Ci gently wiped them away, whispering comfortingly, “Don’t cry, Daidai.

Look, I’m fine now, aren’t I? I’ve come back.”

Gu Dai nodded in acknowledgment, her voice subdued, “Mhmm.”

Su Ci continued, “Daidai, I’ve seen how well you’ve managed the company. I’m proud of you and your achievements.”

A smile crept onto Gu Dai’s face as she recalled the purpose of her visit. She quickly spoke up, “I’ve seen the eye-care contact lenses you’ve been researching. They seem like a brilliant idea. Can I learn more about them?”

“Of course,” nodded Su Ci.

He then devotedly explained the product to Gu Dai.

Her gaze fixated on Su Ci’s face, Gu Dai nodded in agreement from time to time, raising questions about parts she didn’t understand.

When Su Ting arrived, he saw a picture-perfect scene between the two. His fingers curled involuntarily, and he thought of leaving unnoticed.

Gu Dai, sitting facing the door, noticed Su Ting immediately. She waved at him, smiling, “Come over!”

Su Ting approached and greeted Su Ci, “Big brother.”

Su Ci nodded with a smile.

Su Ting, without waiting for Gu Dai to ask, explained, “I happened to pass by and saw Zheng Ming. Learning that you were here for business, I decided to come over.”

Gu Dai chuckled, “I was surprised to replace out that the person in charge is Su Ci. No, I’ve been surprised since the moment I arrived!”

Su Ci chuckled and ruffled Gu Dai’s hair, asking with a smile, “What do you think of my product? Any plans for collaboration?”

Gu Dai nodded earnestly, “The product is perfect. Of course, we should collaborate. I’ve already prepared the contract. Let’s sign it now!”

Su Ci took the contract and signed his name.

Gu Dai protested playfully, “Aren’t you going to read it? Aren’t you afraid I might take advantage of you?”

“I’m not worried,” Su Ci shook his head. “Even if I’m completely taken advantage of, it doesn’t matter.”

Gu Dai turned her head, coughing awkwardly.

Seeing Su Ci and Gu Dai’s interaction, Su Ting’s eyes betrayed a hint of sadness. Still, he forced a smile, reminding himself that as long as his Sis was happy, that was enough.

Su Ci’s phone rang. After hanging up, he apologized, “I need to handle something.”

“No problem,” Gu Dai reassured. “You’ve just set up your studio; it’s normal to be busy. And remember, if you need anything, just ask.”

“Thank you,” Su Ci nodded with a smile.

As Su Ting watched Su Ci leave, he noted the unchanged demeanor of his brother, still the gentle gentleman as always. Yet, something felt amiss to him.

Gu Dai waved a hand in front of a daydreaming Su Ting, “Hey, come back to reality.”

Su Ting responded absentmindedly, scratching his head in embarrassment, “Sis, what’s up?”

“Have you eaten?” asked Gu Dai.

Su Ting glanced at the nearly empty table and turned away, “I have.”

But just as he finished speaking, his stomach inconveniently grumbled.

Gu Dai couldn’t help but laugh, then pushed Su Ting onto a bench, “Even if you’ve eaten, have another meal. Wait a moment, I’ll ask the waiter to serve fresh dishes.”

Su Ting watched Gu Dai and nodded softly.

The restaurant was quick with service, and soon the table was full again.

Gu Dai, resting her chin on her hands, gently asked, “The hacker from the last cyber competition, was it Su Ci?”

Caught off guard and recalling his calm demeanor when he met Su Ci, Su Ting avoided eye contact and spoke softly, “I’m sorry, Sis, I…”

“It’s okay,” Gu Dai shook her head. “I just wanted to confirm my feelings weren’t wrong.”

Su Ting, relieved that Gu Dai didn’t probe further, feared revealing what Su Ci had entrusted him to keep secret.

But who could be plotting against his sister?
