Gu Dai raised her eyebrows in surprise, not expecting Song Ling to apologize rather than defend Jiang Yue.

But what use was an apology? Could it erase the pain she had suffered in the past?

Gu Dai spoke indifferently, “No need.”

Song Ling’s adam’s apple bobbed as he closed his eyes, murmuring, “I know what I’m about to say might sound ridiculous, but I still want to say it.”

He continued, “I don’t know why, but after our divorce, my attention always lingered on you. I’ve been reflecting on myself. I realize I wasn’t a good husband. I never protected you and often hurt you.”

As Song Ling spoke, Gu Dai recalled the bullying she endured during her amnesia, her gaze growing colder.

Song Ling pressed on, “Gu Dai, would you give me another chance to make it up to you? Let’s remarry. I’ll treat you well.”

Gu Dai, her eyes calm like still waters, asked, “Would your mother agree?”

Song Ling’s expression stiffened, then he said, “It doesn’t matter if she agrees. I make my own decisions about my marriage. It has nothing to do with her.” Hearing this, Gu Dai replied with a smile, “Sorry, but I don’t want to be in a marriage without blessings. So, we can never be together in this lifetime.” Song Ling started to speak, but the call ended abruptly. He turned to Zhao Xuan, his expression grim, “Think of a way to make Wang Lan accept me and Gu Dai being together.”

Zhao Xuan remained silent.

He felt the real issue wasn’t about getting Wang Lan’s acceptance, but that Miss Gu Dai used it as an excuse to refuse.

He wanted to state the truth, but under Song Ling’s icy gaze, he swallowed his words.

Instead, he said noncommittally, “President Song, I’ll think of something.”

After ending the call, Gu Dai received a message.

Message: Boss, I’ve made some progress on the matter you asked me to investigate. However, the people involved have significant power and are well-hidden. Each clue I find gets interrupted midway. Should we change our approach?

Gu Dai looked down, sipped her coffee, tasting the bitterness, and firmed her resolve.

Gu Dai: No need to change the approach. Continue investigating. I believe we will find something.

Message: Okay, boss!

Gu Dai’s gaze fell on the leaves outside the window. Hearing a knock, she said, “Come in.”

Zheng Ming entered, placing a file on her desk, “Chairwoman Gu, this is about the brand partnerships for Fu Nan.”

Gu Dai nodded, briefly reviewing the file, “The brand collaborations are more thoughtful and higher-end than before.”

Zheng Ming, seeing her smile, smiled too, “Yes, our variety show’s success has garnered a lot of fans for Fu Nan. Seeing his influence, brands are eager to collaborate.”

Gu Dai acknowledged, flipping through the contracts. Her eyes lit up at the last one.

This collaboration was about eye care contact lenses, involving medical research. The product descriptions seemed impressive.

Interested, Gu Dai said, “Contact this studio’s representative. I’d like to discuss their product. If it’s satisfactory, we can sign a partnership.”

Zheng Ming complied, “Okay.”

He glanced at the contract, surprised, “This eye care lens was developed by a studio, and it’s named Dai Ci Studio.”

Gu Dai froze, then stood up abruptly, her eyes brimming with tears, “What did you say the studio’s name was?”

Zheng Ming repeated, “Dai Ci Studio.”

Not understanding her reaction, Zheng Ming placed the document in front of her.

Gu Dai traced the letters on the paper, her tears swirling in her eyes.

Zheng Ming asked worriedly, “Chairwoman Gu, are you alright?”

Gu Dai shook her head, “I’m fine. Contact the representative.. The sooner we discuss the partnership, the better!”
