Chapter 640: We’re a Couple
On the hospital bed, the woman gradually regained consciousness, her eyes filled with confusion as she took in her surroundings.
When Song Ling entered the room, he saw Gu Dai sitting dazedly on the bed, seemingly lost in thought. He pressed his lips together and spoke, “I’ve already arranged for someone to track the car that hit you. You don’t need to worry.” Seeing that Gu Dai still didn’t respond, Song Ling took a deep breath and said, “The doctor mentioned that you suffered a head injury and need to rest and avoid overexertion. That’s why I didn’t call Su…”
Gu Dai looked up at this moment and asked, “Who are you?”
Song Ling noticed the bewilderment in her eyes and immediately sensed something was wrong. He cautiously asked, “You don’t remember me?”
Gu Dai nodded.
Song Ling quickly called Zhao Xuan in from outside.
Zhao Xuan lowered his head respectfully, “President Song, what are your orders?”
Song Ling spoke in a serious tone, “Bring our private doctor here. I have some questions for him.”
Zhao Xuan responded, “Yes.”
After Zhao Xuan left, Song Ling turned back to Gu Dai. Her gaze made his heart skip a beat, and he averted his eyes, saying, “Rest a bit more. I’ll go ask the doctor about your condition.”
He left the room in large strides.
The doctor arrived shortly after Song Ling explained Gu Dai’s situation. He then asked, “Is there something wrong with her?”
The doctor, having listened to Song Ling’s description, quickly pulled out Gu Dai’s medical report and reviewed it with a frown. He spoke softly, “President Song, Miss Gu has sustained a head injury, which has likely caused her to lose her memory.”
Song Ling, although somewhat prepared for this, was still taken aback when he heard it confirmed. “Amnesia?”
The doctor nodded, “That’s correct.”
Song Ling’s expression turned complex, his eyes darkening. “I understand. You can go now.”
The doctor nodded and quickly left.
As soon as the door opened, Gu Dai turned her head to see who it was and then asked Song Ling, “You still haven’t told me who you are.”
Looking seriously at Gu Dai, Song Ling replied, “My name is Song Ling.”
Gu Dai nodded, “Hello, Song Ling.”
Song Ling was momentarily stunned, then asked, “Do you remember your own name?”
Gu Dai looked even more bewildered, “No, I don’t.”
She then looked up at him and asked, “Do you know my name?”
Song Ling nodded, “Yes, I do.”
Gu Dai, reassured, continued, “Since you know my name, we must be close. We should be friends, right? Tell me my name.”
Facing her expectant gaze, Song Ling hesitated to say “Gu Dai.”
Gu Dai tilted her head in confusion at his silence, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Snapping out of his thoughts, Song Ling avoided her gaze and said, “Your name is Song Chu.”
Gu Dai frowned instinctively, “Song Chu?”
Song Ling confirmed, “Yes.”
Gu Dai asked softly, “Why does that name sound so unfamiliar? I feel like I’ve never heard it before.”
Without missing a beat, Song Ling calmly explained, “You lost your memory in the accident, so it’s normal that it sounds unfamiliar.”
Though she felt something was off, Gu Dai found some logic in his explanation and nodded, “Okay.”
Relieved that Gu Dai wasn’t suspicious, Song Ling continued, “Do you have any other questions?”
Gu Dai shook her head instinctively, then quickly nodded.
Song Ling asked, “What do you want to ask?”
Gu Dai said, “Your name is Song Ling, and mine is Song Chu. Are we siblings?”
Song Ling immediately shook his head, “No.”
Gu Dai tilted her head in confusion, “Then what is our relationship?”
Facing her puzzled look, Song Ling’s expression froze for a few seconds, and he hesitated. But thinking of Su Ting and Gu Dai together, he made up his mind. “We’re not relatives; we’re a couple.”
Gu Dai frowned, “But we both have the surname Song.”
Song Ling’s expression tensed momentarily but quickly returned to normal as he calmly said, “It’s just a coincidence..”
