Chapter 411: Subst.i.tute

Translator: _Min_ |

Stunned, Su Tings expression darkened, Brother, what are you hiding from me?

Su Ci gently ruffled Su Tings hair, speaking softly, When the time comes, Ill tell you everything.

Su Ting insisted, I want to know whats happening now!

Su Cis gaze lowered, Gu Dai is in danger. I came back to protect her, but I cant reveal myself yet. It would alert those scheming behind the scenes and might make things spiral out of control.

Su Ting grasped his brothers hand in shock, You mean someone is after Sis?

Although Su Ci didnt respond, his silence was a clear answer.

Glancing at the time, Su Ci excused himself, I have to go now, but well see each other again soon.

Su Ting nodded, grabbing his brothers hand before he left, Can I tell Sis youre alive?

Su Ci shook his head, Keep it a secret for now, from her and everyone else.

Su Ting watched his brother disappear into the darkness, his lips pressed together in silent agreement.

Sitting on the sofa, Gu Dai opened her eyes upon Su Tings return, Lets go home.

Seeing Gu Dai leave, Song Ling also stood up to follow.

Baua, noticing Song Lings departure, asked, Brother, werent we going to have a match? Where are you going?

Song Ling replied, Something came up. Well have a match another time.

Baua, scratching his head in confusion, wondered aloud, He seemed very concerned about that lady. Maybe hes more interested in her than competing with me?

Another man nearby couldnt help but comment, Are you naive? Its obvious hes not here for the compet.i.tion. Hes probably gone after that lady.

Back in the car, Gu Dai murmured, her eyes closed, That man he felt like Su Ci.

Su Ting was momentarily taken aback, his eyes flickering unconsciously.

Gu Dai opened her eyes and looked towards Su Ting, asking, Is he Su Ci?

At this moment, Su Ting could confirm that Gu Dai knew he had gone to find

Su Ci and that she even wanted him to go.

Recalling Su Cis instructions to him, he shook his head and replied, I saw the man take off his mask. Hes not my brother.

Gu Dai closed her eyes again, fighting back the tears that welled up.

The moment she saw that man, she had hoped he was Su Ci, her heart filled with antic.i.p.ation. But the disappointment she faced was inevitable, though she should have expected it

Su Ting looked at Gu Dais slightly pale face and turned his gaze away, unable to bear the sight.

He couldnt understand what else his brother was hiding, to the extent that even the fact of his survival had to be kept secret.

The manor wasnt far from the Gu family home, and it took less than an hour for the two to reach there.

As Su Ting looked at the Gu familys gate, he lowered his eyes and reached out to hold Gu Dais hand.

Gu Dai stopped and turned to Su Ting, asking, Whats wrong?

Taking a deep breath, Su Ting closed his eyes and confessed, Daidai, I like you.

Gu Dai was taken aback, not expecting Su Ting to suddenly say this.

Without waiting for Gu Dai to respond, Su Ting continued, Ive liked you for a long time. I know about your feelings for my brother, so I dont expect you to feel the same about me, but

Su Ting said, My brother and I are related; I must be the person who looks most like him in the whole world. What I mean is, you can treat me as a subst.i.tute for my brother! Its because Song Ling looks similar to my brother that he was able to win your affection, even for three whole years

Song Ling shouted coldly, What did you say?

Seeing Song Ling, Gu Dai asked, What are you doing here?

Song Ling clenched his fists and did not respond to Gu Dai.

He felt utterly ridiculous at that moment. He had followed a woman like Gu Dai secretly, thinking she resembled someone, only to find out he had been nothing but a subst.i.tute!

Zhao Xuan felt a chill in the air and the words Its over kept flas.h.i.+ng in his mind. He reached out to stop Song Ling from acting rashly, but his hand grasped nothing.

Song Ling strode towards Su Ting, raising his hand to throw a punch.

Su Ting struck first, sending Song Ling reeling back three steps, Did you think I was easy to bully?
