Gu Dai slowly opened her eyes, gazing blankly at the white ceiling above.
She felt a general weakness throughout her body, her head spinning slightly as if she had forgotten something. She attempted to sit up, propping herself up with her hands on the bed.
Su Ting quickly entered the ward, reaching out to support Gu Dai, expressing his concern, “Sis, don’t move. Rest a bit more.”
Gu Dai lay back down, puzzled, and inquired, “What happened to me?”
Su Ting paused, then asked, “Don’t you remember?”
After a moment of reflection, Gu Dai replied, “I only remember finalizing a deal with Wen He and having a drink. After that, my memory is blank.”
Su Ting pressed his lips together and responded, “You were drugged.”
Drugged?
Clutching her head, Gu Dai recalled a few vague fragments in her mind but couldn’t make out the specifics.
Who could have drugged her? Surely not Wen He?
It didn’t make sense, as their deal was already concluded, and he had nothing to gain from such an act.
Who among the elite figures in the capital, allowed access to the hotel, would stoop to such despicable means?
Seeing Gu Dai’s troubled expression, Su Ting softly reassured her, “Don’t overthink it, Sis. Meng Zhi is investigating. Right now, your recovery is what’s most important.”
Gu Dai nodded in agreement, “Alright.”
Suddenly, she noticed something odd about Su Ting – he seemed to be avoiding her eyes.
She looked down and called out with a serious tone, “Su Ting.”
Su Ting flinched, turned to face her, and whispered, “Si-Sis, what are you…”
Gu Dai noticed his flushed face and his chapped lips, and asked with concern, “Do you have a fever? And your lips, they’re injured?”
Caught off guard, Su Ting avoided her gaze and mumbled, “I’m fine. I just slept poorly last night and bit my lip.”
Understanding, Gu Dai nodded. Then, remembering something, she asked curiously, “Were you about to say something earlier?”
Su Ting shook his head, “Nothing important.”
He feared telling her about their kiss; after all, she was under the influence of the drug, but he wasn’t.
Feeling a wave of fatigue, Gu Dai drifted back to sleep without dwelling on his words.
Su Ting watched her peaceful sleeping face and sighed in relief.
Meanwhile, at Song Corporation.
Song Ling’s face was ashen. Though his eyes were on the documents, his mind wandered, replaying the scene of Gu Dai with Su Ting.
Zhao Xuan, feeling the tense atmosphere in the office, wished he could shrink into himself. He carefully placed a contract on the desk and prepared to leave.
But someone moved faster than him. A gust of wind, the door slamming shut.
Zhao Xuan turned to the empty desk, shaking his head in resignation. He knew without a doubt that President Song was off to see Miss Gu again.
Song Ling drove recklessly to the hospital. Arriving at the ward, he was startled to see Su Ting with Gu Dai, looking at her with affection.
Unable to restrain himself, he rushed towards Su Ting, fist raised.
Su Ting dodged skillfully, grabbing Song Ling’s arm and asked coldly, “What are you trying to do?”
Song Ling, seething with anger, retorted, “Last night, you took advantage of Gu Dai while she was drunk. I didn’t settle things with you then, but I won’t let you off now!”
Su Ting scoffed and glanced at the sleeping Gu Dai, whispering, “She’s resting. Let’s take this outside.”
Song Ling snapped, “Let’s go!”
Disturbed by the noise, Gu Dai slowly opened her eyes to see the two men confronting each other and asked with a frown, “What are you doing?”
Su Ting quickly approached her, softly saying, “Sis, he needs to talk to me.
We’ll sort it out outside. You keep resting.”
Song Ling’s expression was grim, clearly harboring ill intentions.
Gu Dai placed a hand on Su Ting and said, “Don’t go.”
She then turned to Song Ling, “If you have something to say, say it here.
Otherwise, President Song, you may leave.”
Song Ling, infuriated by Gu Dai’s defense of Su Ting, pointed at him and began, “Do you even know what he did last night…”
Gu Dai interrupted Song Ling, “I don’t want to know..”
