Su Ting’s eyelashes quivered slightly, and he appeared somewhat uneasy.

After introducing Su Ting, Gu Dai promptly introduced Meng Zhi, “This is my third brother, Meng Zhi, whom I’ve told you about.”

When Meng Zhi focused on Su Ting, his smile faded slightly, and a sharp gleam flickered in his eyes.

Their gazes met, sparking a palpable tension, and the atmosphere grew increasingly strained.

Perceiving the tense dynamic between them, Gu Dai curiously inquired, “Do you two have some history?”

Su Ting laughed it off, “We have no past issues.”

Meng Zhi regaining his composure chimed in, “We’ve never met before. How could we possibly have any bad blood? It’s just the excitement of meeting the international supermodel Su Ting up close for the first time; it made me a bit overzealous.”

Nodding in agreement, Su Ting added, “I was simply stunned seeing world-class race car driver Meng Zhi, so I was momentarily distracted.”

Although Gu Dai heard Meng Zhi and Su Ting exchange these courteous remarks, something felt amiss. But seeing them shake hands amicably, she dismissed it as mere intuition.

The car race, being a casual entertainment, concluded shortly after.

Su Ting softly said to Gu Dai, “Sis, let me take you home.”

Meng Zhi quickly pulled Gu Dai to his side, replying, “Daidai and I live together, so there’s no need for the trouble.”

Grabbing Gu Dai’s other hand, Su Ting smiled, “I don’t have a place to stay in the country, and Sis has graciously let me stay at her villa, so it’s no trouble at all.”

Meng Zhi’s eyes widened in disbelief, turning his gaze to Gu Dai for confirmation.

Spotting Meng Zhi’s doubtful look, Gu Dai gently nodded, confirming Su Ting’s statement, “It’s true.”

Meng Zhi:”…”

Although Su Ting had the convenience, he couldn’t ultimately accompany Gu Dai home due to his constantly ringing phone.

Gu Dai asked, “What’s going on?”

Muting his phone, Su Ting brushed it off, “It’s nothing.”

Not convinced, Gu Dai continued to look at Su Ting questioningly.

Feeling pressured, Su Ting admitted, “There are several collaborators who want to sign contracts with me.”

Gu Dai replied with a smile, “Work is important; you should go.”

Su Ting hung his head in a dejected manner, murmuring softly, “But I don’t want to work. I just want to be with you.”

Gu Dai chuckled lightly, reaching up to tousle his hair, gently replying, “We can meet tomorrow too.”

Though Su Ting was visibly reluctant, Gu Dai’s persuasion swayed him. He finally accepted with a soft, “Okay.”

Witnessing this, Meng Zhi’s face lit up with a smile. He took the necklace that Gu Dai had bought from Su Ting’s hand, saying, “Go to work now.”

Su Ting shot Meng Zhi a resentful glance, clenched his teeth, and turned to leave.

A sense of confusion once again rose within Gu Dai. She turned to Meng Zhi, starting to ask, “What’s going on between you and Su Ting…?”

Interrupting her, Meng Zhi quickly responded, “Su Ting and I have a good relationship. It’s getting late; let’s go home.”

Following behind Gu Dai, Song Ling couldn’t overhear their conversation, which further soured his mood.

Agitated, Song Ling adjusted his tie and slammed the car door after getting in. He tersely commanded the driver, Zhao Xuan, “Drive.”

Upon Song Ling’s command, Zhao Xuan promptly prepared to drive. Suddenly, there was a knock on the window.

Feeling apprehensive, Zhao Xuan waited for permission before rolling down the window.

Outside stood the person in charge of the auction, who respectfully said, “Mr. Song, you forgot to take the items you bought at the auction.”

Zhao Xuan hastily exited the car, placing the items in the trunk.

Observing the trunk full of purchases and recalling the look Song Ling had given Gu Dai earlier, Zhao Xuan cautiously asked, “Boss, did you buy these for Miss Gu Dai?”

Song Ling’s brows furrowed, casting a cold glance at Zhao Xuan, “Why would I give them to Gu Dai?”

Taken aback, Zhao Xuan blurted out, “Aren’t you trying to win back Miss Gu Dai? Aren’t you pursuing her?”

Song Ling scoffed, retorting, “Are you joking? It took so much effort to divorce Gu Dai. Why would I want to be with her again?”

After stating this, Song Ling pointedly addressed Zhao Xuan, “If there’s something wrong with your eyes, get them checked early. Otherwise, you might go blind soon..”
