Chapter 295: Gu Sis Return

Translator: _Min_ |

Gu Dai, yawning lazily, responded leisurely, I know my own body, there wont be any problems. Besides, arent you coming with me?

Song Ling had insisted on looking after her, so if there was any need for action, she expected him to take charge. After all, it made sense to make use of him as a tool.

Unaware of Gu Dais thoughts, Song Ling felt a tremor in his heart upon hearing her say she had him by her side. He had many words of persuasion in mind, but they all turned into a muted affirmation, Mhmm.

Song Ling added, Since you trust me, I wont let anything happen to you.

Gu Dai simply responded, Hmm.

Although Song Ling was driving, his mind was in turmoil, repeatedly picturing the overlap between Gu Dais image and that of the girl from his memories.

He even started to believe that it might have been Gu Dai who saved him back then, not Jiang Yue as he had thought.

Amidst the raging flames, even though Song Lings vision was blurred and he couldnt see the details clearly, the girls words and her resolute figure conveyed to him that she must be a kind-hearted young woman, one who wasnt concerned about receiving any repayment for her actions.

Jiang Yues personality starkly contrasted with his imagination, while Gu Dai, since recovering her memory, matched exactly what he had envisioned.

Realizing this, Song Ling couldnt help but ask, Have we met before?

Gu Dais expression s.h.i.+fted slightly before she regained her composure, replying, No.

Song Ling, lost in thought, continued, I have this feeling that weve met before, and that you even saved me.

Gu Dai hadnt expected Song Ling to suddenly bring this up. Although she had indeed saved him twice, she no longer wished to discuss this matter.

Gu Dai responded, Youre mistaken. Weve never met before, and Ive never saved you.

Despite her words, Song Ling was reluctant to give up, as her image closely resembled the person in his memory.

He parked the car and asked earnestly, Think carefully, have you really never saved me? Or have you ever lost your memory and forgotten such an incident?

Gu Dai denied, No.

Song Ling, looking at Gu Dai, could only see her indifferent demeanor. Disappointed, he withdrew his gaze.

Perhaps she had never met him or saved him after all.

How wonderful it would have been if it had been Gu Dai instead of Jiang Yue

Scenery Garden was a villa, where Gu Si and Wen Ye had lived during their marriage. After the divorce, only Wen Ye and their daughter Gu Yin remained, though Gu Si still owned the property.

Approaching the villa, Gu Dai rang the doorbell. Gu Si, to her surprise, was the one who answered.

Gu Si greeted with a smile, Daidai, its been a long time. Come in.

Gu Dais eyes darkened slightly. Gu Si seemed to have expected her visit. She nodded lightly and called out, Aunt.

Gu Sis lips curled, already scheming against Gu Dai. However, her expression faltered upon seeing Song Ling behind Gu Dai.

Song Lings features were chiseled to perfection, exuding an innate elegance. His icy gaze, however, lent this elegance an almost aloof air.

A brief panic stirred in Gu Sis heart, sensing that Song Ling was no ordinary man. Her voice softened involuntarily, Please, come in.

Song Ling nodded and followed Gu Dai into the house.

As Gu Si gestured for them to sit, she smiled at Gu Dai, Ive been doing business abroad these years. The last time I saw you, you were just a child. Time flies. Daidai has grown up so much.

Gu Dai observed Gu Si as she spoke.

Gu Si, with her flowing black waves, stunning looks, and slender figure, didnt appear as someone who had borne several children.

Seeing Gu Sis superficial cordiality, Gu Dai smiled back, Aunt, youre much more beautiful than I imagined. But why did you suddenly return from abroad? Im here to see uncle. Isnt he home?

Gu Si glanced briefly towards the bedroom, then quickly averted her gaze, replying, Your uncle has stepped out.

Gu Dai, keenly observant, didnt miss her subtle glance.

Unaware of Gu Dais lowered gaze catching this small gesture, Gu Si continued, I came back for Yinyins matter..
