Chapter 616: We’re all Adults

Su Ting, with his keen eye for talent and strong modeling background, had already selected individuals worthy of development from the short fashion show.

Gu Dai’s gaze remained fixed on Su Ting.

The man, sitting elegantly in a well-tailored suit, mixed delicate features with a hint of ruggedness, issuing instructions to his assistant on how to further develop these talents, radiating a mature and composed aura.

As the assistant left, Gu Dai leaned closer to Su Ting and whispered into his ear, “I find myself liking you more and more.”

Caught off guard, Su Ting blushed, his mature demeanor giving way to sheer bashfulness. In a soft voice, he admitted, “Daidai, I love you.”

Gu Dai coughed slightly, feigning composure, and responded, “I know.”

Curiosity then struck her, “I’ve never asked you when you started liking me.”

Su Ting, faced with her inquiry, looked momentarily dazed, his lips parting shyly as he began, “I…”

His words were abruptly cut off by Song Ling’s cold interjection.

“In such a public place, aren’t you two a bit too close? It’s indecent.”

Having spotted Su Ting and Gu Dai’s intimate stance upon entering the show, jealousy sparked in Song Ling’s eyes as he couldn’t resist interrupting their moment.

Gu Dai turned to look at Song Ling, then quickly shifted her gaze away, dismissively stating, “Our behavior is perfectly normal. It’s just that President Song hasn’t seen people in love for so long he’s forgotten what it looks like.” Taking a deep breath, Song Ling nodded and retorted, “You’re right, I haven’t been in love for a long time, but if you hadn’t broken up with me, I wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

Gu Dai found his accusation baffling, “You might want to see a doctor about your delusions, perhaps get some medication to prevent these outbursts.”

After speaking, she turned to Su Ting, “Let’s go home.”

Su Ting nodded and softly agreed, “Alright.”

As he passed by Song Ling, he paused and offered, “If you need it, President Song, I can recommend some doctors to you.”

Song Ling’s hands clenched at his sides, his gaze fixed on Su Ting as he gritted his teeth, “No need for your concern.”

Watching Gu Dai and Su Ting walk away, Song Ling’s phone rang. Recognizing the number, he knew it was that man calling him.

He paused before answering, silently waiting for the other party to speak.

The man on the line asked, “How are your preparations? Let me know once everything is set.”

Song Ling lowered his eyes and responded with a heavy tone, “Everything is ready on my side.”

Pleased, the man chuckled, “Good, then I’ll proceed with my plans. Just wait for Su Ting’s downfall and think about how you’ll pursue Gu Dai.”

As Song Ling stared at the ended call, a dark gleam flashed in his eyes. Watching the retreating figures of Su Ting and Gu Dai, he gripped his phone tightly and quickly left the show.

When Gu Dai and Su Ting arrived at the Gu residence, dusk had settled, silhouettes barely discernible.

Stepping out of the car, they noticed a couple embracing tenderly at the front door.

Gu Dai, just out of the car, whispered to Su Ting, “Maybe we should go out again and come back later.”

Su Ting, sharing the sentiment, nodded, “Let’s go.”

As he spoke, he felt a gaze upon him. Looking up, he whispered to Gu Dai, “Daidai, we’ve been seen. No need to leave now.”

Gu Dai also nodded in agreement.

Shi Nuan, embarrassed, hid behind Meng Zhi, muttering softly, “I told you not to kiss me at the door, but you insisted. Now we’ve been seen.”

Meng Zhi calmly held Shi Nuan’s hand, reassuring her, “It’s okay, we were just kissing, nothing more. Besides, Daidai and Su Ting are adults; they’ll understand!”

Shi Nuan glared at Meng Zhi, then timidly called out, “Daidai..”
