Chapter 233: Rejected Invitation
Translator: _Min_
Gu Dai, unhesitant and with a cold voice, firmly refused, “No.”
To make her refusal more absolute, Gu Dai added, “I don’t know how to blend fragrances.”
Song Ling pursed his lips and spoke softly, “After learning about your many skills, 1 thought you knew how to blend fragrances…”
Gu Dai possessed exceptional medical skills, capable of rescuing Old Master Zhou from danger, and her hacking abilities were strong. Hence, Song Ling assumed that fragrance blending would be easy for her, but her denial perhaps signified her genuine lack of this skill.
After all, these two skills had no connection with fragrance blending.
Song Ling asked, “Could you tell me where that fragrance master is?”
Gu Dai continued to refuse, “I don’t remember where the master is.”
Song Ling felt Gu Dai might know but doubted his assumption upon seeing her cold demeanor.
Still, not wanting to give up on the only method to cure his headache, Song Ling spoke again, “If you remember, please let me know.”
Gu Dai responded nonchalantly, not taking it to heart.
Lin Sheng spent the afternoon in pride, unable to help it, for his young mistress was so outstanding.
He knew she was proficient in fragrance blending, and the fragrance mentioned by Song Ling was likely blended by her.
Lin Sheng felt no pity for Song Ling being rejected, only thinking he deserved it.
He remembered how Song Ling used to bully Gu Dai and considered not beating him a mercy.
After all contracts were settled, Gu Dai politely said, “It’s getting late, President Song, please take care.”
Song Ling, however, didn’t leave, his gaze fixed on Gu Dai.
Gu Dai, noticing this, inquired, “Is there something else?” contemporary romance
Since Song Ling saw her, she had always been distant, which wasn’t what he wanted.
With downcast eyes, Song Ling invited, “It’s dinner time; may I invite you to dinner?”
Gu Dai promptly refused, “Sorry, I’m not hungry.”
Song Ling persisted, “Even if you’re not hungry, you can eat a little to avoid being hungry at night. 1 know a very good restaurant…”
He kept talking, but Gu Dai didn’t listen to a word.
If Song Ling had shown concern during her amnesia, she might have been thrilled for a year, but now she just found him noisy.
Song Ling asked, “What do you think?”
As soon as Song Ling finished speaking, Gu Dai quickly replied, “I don’t think so, I’m not hungry.”
Song Ling recalled seeing Gu Dai earlier, leaving a restaurant with a radiant smile, probably dining with a man.
Why would she dine with other men but not with him, not even offering a pleasant face!
This thought left Song Ling feeling particularly unbalanced, suppressing his emerging anger, he said, “Let’s have dinner as an apology for disturbing you that night.”
That night, an apology?
Gu Dai paused, then calmly replied, “There is no need.”
Gu Dai was unemotional, but Zhao Xuan, who overheard, was excited.
A few days ago, Song Ling was fine after work, but the next day, his face bore a slap mark. Because of this, he had been working from home.
Zhao Xuan always wondered who dared to hit him, and now he understood it was Miss Gu Dai.
Unaware of his assistant’s rapid thoughts, Song Ling hadn’t given up, insisting, “It’s just a meal…”
Gu Dai’s ringing phone interrupted Song Ling.
Without checking the caller ID, Gu Dai answered excitedly.
Gu Dai responded, “Hello? What, you’re downstairs at the office? Wait for me, I’ll come down now!”
Eagerly hanging up, Gu Dai quickly left the office, grabbing her bag.
Her movements were so swift that by the time Song Ling reacted, he couldn’t even see her anymore.
Zhao Xuan observed Song Ling’s state, recalling his extensive preparation for today’s attire, like a peacock in full display to meet Gu Dai, and shook his head..
