After he confirmed that the Fragrance Master had completely disappeared from sight, Song Ling finally pulled his gaze away. He took the amulet from his pocket and stared at it for a long time.

The master had suggested that Gu Dai was exceptionally talented in crafting fragrances. Yet in all these years, she had never mentioned this to him. Perhaps she had learned this skill from someone at the temple where she had obtained the amulet?

Even as he pondered this, Song Ling found himself increasingly skeptical of this notion. After all, there were so many things about Gu Dai that he didn’t know.

Surveying the room, his eyes fell on the furniture covered in a layer of dust, a result of the house being uninhabited for too long. A sense of emptiness clouded his vision.

When they had divorced, Gu Dai had asked for this villa. At the time, he had assumed she wanted to sell it for money. He had branded her a gold-digger, convinced that she had divorced him for financial gain.

But the reality before him slapped him in the face.

Gu Dai had never returned to this villa after their divorce. She hadn’t even changed the front door’s passcode. Moreover, it had been confirmed that she was the young miss of the Gu family and didn’t lack money.

After Song Ling reflected on all this, he realized just how little he understood Gu Dai. For the first time in his life, he questioned whether he had utterly failed as a husband.

Meanwhile, Gu Dai had no idea that Song Ling had entered her villa.

She had just arrived at the Gu residence. As soon as she got out of the car, Meng Zhi came to greet her, asking with concern, “Daidai, did anyone from the Song family give you a hard time?”

Gu Dai shook her head and smiled, “Don’t worry, Third Brother, no one mistreated me.”

Although she reassured him, Meng Zhi was not entirely convinced. Given what he had observed from the morning’s livestream, he knew that the Song family was not to be trifled with; they would not easily let Gu Dai off the hook.

Realizing this, Meng Zhi asked anxiously, “Daidai, be honest with me. Tell me who bullied you. I’ll go and tear down their roof right now, especially Song Ling. Has he been bothering you?”

Meng Zhi had quickly assessed that Wang Lan and Song Yu were not particularly intelligent. Gu Dai wouldn’t have a hard time dealing with them. However, Song Ling seemed like a more difficult opponent.

Gu Dai continued to shake her head, “No, Song Ling only spoke a few words to me.”

Meng Zhi furrowed his brow, “A few words? What did he say?”

Gu Dai tried to recall but couldn’t remember. She said awkwardly, “I’ve forgotten what he said, but it was all unimportant rambling. In the end, I told him it would be best if we avoided seeing each other in the future.”

Meng Zhi scrutinized Gu Dai one more time. Seeing that she didn’t appear to be lying, he finally relaxed and softly said, “As long as things are clear, that’s good.”

Gu Dai smiled and nodded, then said to Meng Zhi, “Let’s go inside, Third Brother.”

Just as they took a few steps, the roar of powerful engines filled the air behind them. Both turned around to see four to five cars driving up, stopping only when they reached them.

The next moment, the door of the lead car opened, and a man stepped out.

Dressed in a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a face mask, along with a casual jacket, he looked like an internet sensation—unrecognizable in his disguise.

Gu Dai’s eyebrows knitted together as she scrutinized the man.

Zhou Ci removed his sunglasses and mask, revealing a peach-blossom-eyed smile. “Gu Dai, long time no see.”

Gu Dai remained silent.

Meng Zhi quickly recalled that this was the man from the restaurant who had seemed interested in pursuing Gu Dai. Realizing this, his gaze towards Zhou Ci cooled. “We saw each other not too long ago; it hasn’t been that long.”

Unfazed by Meng Zhi’s icy tone, Zhou Ci continued to smile. “Perhaps it’s because I’ve missed Miss Gu Dai so much that even a short absence feels like an eternity.”

Meng Zhi couldn’t hold back his irritation. “What a smooth talker!”

Seeing Meng Zhi getting riled up by Zhou Ci, Gu Dai quickly reassured him with a few words. Then she turned to Zhou Ci and asked, “What brings you here this time?”

Remembering the reason for his visit, Zhou Ci gestured toward the cars behind him..
