After Zhou Cis blurb, he finally said, I wont disturb your work any longer. 111 leave now.

Gu Dai smiled in response, Alright, and thank you.

Zhou Ci replied, Youre welcome. After all, I do harbor secret intentions of wooing you. Dont be too touched; you might just fall for me.

The smile gradually faded from Gu Dais face, replaced by a cold expression. Fine, you may go. No need for farewells.

I regret saying that just now, Zhou Ci confessed.

Regret couldnt undo his words, and with a heavy heart, Zhou Ci left.

After he departed, the iciness on Gu Dais face gradually dissipated. Her gaze lingered on the hand cream on her desk for a while before she picked it up. She opened the bottle, squeezed out some cream, and applied it to her hands.

Not far away, in a cafe near Gu Corporation, Lin Sheng sat across from Song Ling and spoke in a neutral tone, Mr. Song, what would you like to know? Out with it.

Song Ling clenched his hands tightly together, I want to understand why Gu Dai has changed so drastically.

Not even offering a pleasant expression, Lin Sheng flatly responded, People grow up. Its not unusual for Miss Gu to experience changes in her temperament, is it?

Hearing Lin Shengs evasive words, Song Ling felt a surge of anger rising within him. Recalling that Lin Sheng was close to Gu Dai, he reluctantly suppressed his rage.

Song Ling said, Even if someone changes, it wouldnt be so dramatic in such a short period of time. Its like shes become a different person!

Lin Sheng lowered his gaze and was silent for a moment before he slowly said, Miss Gus original temperament was always like this.

Her original temperament Song Ling clenched his fists, his eyes reddening. Are you saying that Gu Dai was pretending all along? What was her purpose for hiding her true self and getting close to me?

Gritting his teeth, Lin Sheng replied angrily, Miss Gu would never do such a thing. Theres nothing on you worth the risk for her. The reason for her change is that she regained her memory!

Song Ling was stunned, taking a long time to process the meaning of Lin Shengs words. Are you saying that Gu Dai had amnesia for the past three years?

Yes, Lin Sheng confirmed.

Initially, Lin Sheng didnt want to disclose the truth to Song Ling. But considering Song Lings recent relentless pursuit of Gu Dai, and Gu Dais evident lack of affection for him, Lin Sheng felt that perhaps coming clean would be beneficial for both parties.

Song Lings vision began to blur, and he spoke in a daze, Impossible. How could Gu Dai approach me without a motive? She was just amnesiac?

Lin Sheng felt as if he were about to burst with frustration. He hadnt expected that even after revealing the truth, Song Ling would still refuse to accept it.

Lin Shengs expression grew icy, displeased, he said. During the three years Miss Gu went missing, we were all extremely worried about her, even fearing the worst. And it turns out she married you. After marrying her, not only did you neglect her, but you also doubted her sincerity towards you. The President of the Song Corporation is truly laughable!

Finally, as if gears were starting to turn in his wooden head, Song Ling looked at Lin Sheng and asked, So youre saying that youve only recently reconnected with Gu Dai as well?

Yes! Lin Sheng responded, giving Song Ling a deep look before standing up to leave.

Miss might have lost her memory, but she was someone he had watched grow up. Even with amnesia, she shouldnt fall head over heels for someone recklessly.

So why did Miss Gu, after losing her memory, choose Song Ling so steadfastly? It was as if she was under some spell.

It took Song Ling a long while to come back to his senses after Lin Sheng left. One sentence kept revolving in his mind, Gu Dai did not deceive him; she had no ulterior motive forgetting close to him; she truly had lost her memory.

In haste, Song Ling pulled out his phone and dialed Zhao Xuan.

As soon as the call was answered, he said hurriedly, Find out what happened to Gu Dai three years ago. Remember, be thorough. Dont miss any details! Report back to me the moment you find something!

Zhao Xuan didnt understand why Song Ling would claim not to like Gu Dai yet suddenly show such concern for her. But hearing Song Lings urgent tone, he promptly replied, Alright, Mr. Song!

After, Song Ling sat in silence, staring at his coffee.

Could it be that Gu Dai was truly good to him without any ulterior motives?

Was it really, as she had claimed, because of love?
