Chapter 230: s.h.i.+ Nuans Return

Translator: _Min_

Gu Dai nodded slightly, signaling for Gu Yin to continue speaking.

Realizing she could no longer deceive Gu Dai, Gu Yin confessed earnestly, I was trying to think of an excuse to get Gu Zhi to drink it, but she didnt give me the chance.

Gu Dai cast a glance at Gu Yin and inquired, Was the poison in the water from Gu Zhi?

Gu Yin looked up at Gu Dai with an obedient gaze and replied, It was poison, but I only added a little bit, not enough to kill her.

Gu Dai shook her head in resignation and affectionately ruffled Gu Yins hair, saying, You should live here.

After making this statement, Gu Dai had Wu Zhen prepare a room with good lighting for her.

Gu Yin was stunned, hardly believing her ears, Cousin Daidai, youre letting me stay here?

Gu Dai hummed in affirmation.

It wouldnt be appropriate for Gu Yin to go back now, especially since Gu Zhi had already had an incident.

Moreover, it must be said that Gu Yins antics, albeit damaging, were indeed refres.h.i.+ng.

Recognizing Gu Yins intelligence, Gu Dai planned to keep her close and guide her personally from now on.

Upon receiving Gu Dais firm reply, Gu Yin couldnt help but jump up excitedly, exclaiming, Thank you, Cousin Daidai!

Gu Dai smiled and responded, Youre welcome. Go check out the room and if you need anything, just tell Uncle Wu Zhen or the aunties in the villa to prepare it for you.

Gu Yins eyes sparkled as she nodded eagerly, Okay!

In comparison to Gu Dai, Gu Yin felt increasingly that Gu Zhi was foolish.

Cousin Daidai had instantly noticed the camera hidden in her necklace and knew that the substance she intended to administer was poison, not a sleeping aid, yet Gu Zhi didnt even realize when the camera malfunctioned.

Feeling deeply shamed for being deceived and used by such a person, Gu Yin vowed to take her revenge on Gu Zhi when the opportunity arose.

Perhaps it was because of the incident where Song Ling was. .h.i.t; he hadnt appeared before her for several days. Gu Dai was quite pleased with this.

After listening to Lin Shengs report on recent company matters, Gu Dais phone suddenly rang with a message from s.h.i.+ Nuan.

s.h.i.+ Nuan: Daidai, I have a huge surprise for you!

A huge surprise?

A smile curled at the corners of Gu Dais lips, her mind conjuring up various images. Just as she was about to inquire about the surprise, someone knocked on her office door.

A guess flickered through Gu Dais mind and was confirmed the next second as she saw s.h.i.+ Nuans radiant figure.

An excited s.h.i.+ Nuan ran towards Gu Dai and hugged her, exclaiming, How about it, Daidai? Is my gift a surprise?

Gu Dai smiled and said, Yes, it is!

Ever since their last farewell at the banquet, s.h.i.+ Nuan had been sent abroad for studies by Old Master s.h.i.+, and they had only stayed in touch through texts and calls.

With both of them being busy, one with work while the other with studies, their interactions were sporadic, and often interrupted by unforeseen events.

Due to the time difference, s.h.i.+ Nuan felt hungry by two in the afternoon, and Gu Dai took her out for a meal.

Gu Dai said, The food in this restaurant is delicious; give it a try.

s.h.i.+ Nuan nodded repeatedly, entering a mode of devouring.

After s.h.i.+ Nuan finished, Gu Dai spoke, Why didnt you tell me you were coming back? 1 didnt even have time to prepare a gift for you.

s.h.i.+ Nuan coughed lightly, looking at Gu Dai, Daidai, were good friends, we dont need gifts.

In truth, s.h.i.+ Nuan had deliberately not informed Gu Dai because she hadnt forgotten that their exchanges usually involved prank gifts.

Gu Dai said lightly, Nuannuan, you wouldnt be trying to avoid my gift, would you?

s.h.i.+ Nuan stiffened, then quickly spoke excitedly, How could I? 1 love the gifts you give me. Its just that this trip was so rushed, 1 didnt get to tell you.

Gu Dai nodded, a smile playing on her lips, Well then, 111 make it up to you later.

Seeing no escape, s.h.i.+ Nuan reluctantly agreed, Okay

Gu Dai let out a laugh, Im just teasing you, I wont give you a prank gift this time.

s.h.i.+ Nuan still hadnt gone home since she arrived, so after giving the gifts she had brought from abroad to Gu Dai, she prepared to leave.

s.h.i.+ Nuan then said, Daidai, once 1 sort everything out, Ill come to see you.

Gu Dai nodded in response, Alright.

Gu Dai returned to the company, her mood light and pleasant as she carried the gifts. However, upon seeing Song Ling, the smile on her face slowly faded away..
