Translator: _Min_
Gu Dai chuckled softly, explaining to Su Ting, “Don’t be nervous. I just wanted to thank you for the favor you did.” contemporary romance
A wave of relief washed over Su Ting, who hurriedly responded, “1 was worried that you would be upset with me for what I did…”
Gu Dai interjected, “Why would 1 be upset? By the way, as a token of my gratitude, I’d like to take you out to dinner tonight. Are you available? If not, I can reschedule.”
Upon hearing Gu Dai’s words, Su Ting froze, his mind echoing with one thought: She’s inviting me to dinner!
After a long pause without a response, Gu Dai called out, puzzled, “Su Ting?”
Su Ting snapped back to reality, responding enthusiastically, “I’m available, I’m free tonight!”
A smile graced Gu Dai’s face as she softly replied, “Good.”
Gu Dai continued, “I found a newly opened restaurant with excellent reviews.
Would you like to try it tonight?”
Su Ting grinned, “I’ll follow your lead!”
Even though it was still morning, Su Ting was already lost in daydreams about the evening ahead.
He rolled out of bed and began rummaging through his wardrobe, selecting the perfect outfit for the night.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Dai turned to Meng Zhi who stood beside her and invited, “Third Brother, would you like to join us for dinner tonight?”
Meng Zhi shook his head, declining, “You and Su Ting go ahead. 1 don’t want to intrude.”
Gu Dai stared at Meng Zhi’s meaningful expression and sighed, “Third Brother, I’ve always seen Su Ting as a younger brother. This is simply a meal; don’t read too much into it.”
Meng Zhi reassured, “Alright, alright, just a simple meal. I won’t think too much of it!”
Gu Dai was speechless.
As soon as Gu Dai stepped out of her office building that evening, she found Su Ting waiting for her at the entrance.
He looked extraordinarily striking, dressed casually and donning a baseball cap, his aura alone was enough to halt many passersby.
Gu Dai walked up to him, smiling, “Have you been waiting long? Why didn’t you wait inside the building?”
Su Ting answered obediently, “I didn’t want to disturb your work, and I’ve only just arrived; 1 haven’t been waiting long.”
Just as Su Ting finished speaking, a child’s voice piped up from the crowd, “Big Brother is lying! He’s been waiting here for two hours. He didn’t arrive just now!”
People around them couldn’t help but laugh at the child’s words. Realizing this, they quickly stifled their laughter.
Gu Dai squatted beside the little girl and softly asked, “How do you know Big Brother has been waiting here for two hours?”
The girl explained, “Because I’ve been watching him for two hours. Also, he was staring up at a window; I guess that’s your office?”
Gu Dai glanced in the direction the girl was pointing and found her office window.
After a few seconds of being caught in the girl’s sparkling gaze, she took some candy from her bag and handed it to her, “You’re clever. You guessed right. This is your reward. Now, it’s getting late; you should head home.”
Holding the candy, the girl nodded and smiled, leaning close to whisper in Gu Dai’s ear, “Big Sister, you and Big Brother look so good together. I wish you everlasting happiness!”
Gu Dai was about to clarify that she and Su Ting were not a couple but, meeting the girl’s innocent gaze, she simply nodded.
Su Ting’s ears turned a faint red. After exchanging several glances with Gu Dai, he finally mustered the courage to speak, “Sis, I didn’t mean to deceive you. I thought it was only a moment, not realizing two hours had passed.”
Gu Dai responded, a little dazed, “I understand. Time flies when I’m engrossed in work too.”
Seeing that Gu Dai was not angry, Su Ting let out a sigh of relief. Curious, he asked, “What did the little girl say to you?”
Gu Dai paused, “Ah?”
Gu Dai quickly added, “Oh, she didn’t say much.”
Noticing Su Ting’s puzzled look, Gu Dai changed the subject, “The restaurant isn’t open yet, but there’s a pretty busy street with food stalls nearby. Do you want to go check the place out?”
Having said this, Gu Dai remembered that Su Ting was a high-profile model and that that street was quite crowded. She added, “Or we can wait in the restaurant’s lounge..”
