No Longer Entangle with Song Ling
Translator: _Min_ |
Song Ling gazed at Gu Dai and hastily spoke, “I now realize my mistakes. I acknowledge how absurdly wrong I was back then. Please, give me another chance. Once we’re back together, I promise to treat you well and make up for my past errors.”
Gu Dai took a deep breath, suppressing the fury within before responding coldly, “I don’t need it, and it’s impossible for us to be together again.”
She attempted to mentally prepare herself several times, yet her complexion grew increasingly grim.
Gu Dai lifted her foot again, striking Song Ling on the leg, “I thought I could endure it, but I’ve realized I can’t.”
Song Ling, trembling with anger and sweating coldly, his hands clenched tightly enough to reveal veins, exclaimed, “Gu Dai, what do you mean? It’s fine if you don’t like me now, but why are you hitting me?”
Gu Dai sneered, “I’m hitting you to show that women don’t need to be frail. Frailty only leads to being bullied. By not being frail, I can trample those who dare to bully me under my feet!”
When Su Ting stepped out, he caught sight of Song Ling waiting for Gu Dai.
He quickly stepped in front of him, blocking his view, and asked coldly, “What are you doing?”
Glancing at Gu Dai, he softly inquired, “Daidai, are you alright?”
Gu Dai smiled lightly and shook her head, “I’m fine.”
Seeing the smile on Gu Dai’s face, Song Ling felt a piercing pain in his heart and gritted his teeth in anger, “I’m the one being hit, how can she not be fine?”
Hearing Song Ling’s words eased Su Ting’s worries.
He turned a cold gaze on Song Ling, “Why are you bothering Daidai again?”
Not wanting to embarrass himself in front of Su Ting, Song Ling, despite the pain in his legs, insisted on standing up, “I am a partner!”
Hearing Song Ling’s words, Gu Dai deeply regretted ever agreeing to partner with him. Quickly, she suggested, “How about…”
Seeing the expression on Gu Dai’s face, Song Ling knew what she was thinking, “I won’t agree to end the partnership!”
Gu Dai pursed her lips, “I’ll compensate you with twenty times the penalty.”
Song Ling looked up at Gu Dai, firmly stating, “I don’t lack money, I won’t agree to the termination!”
Gu Dai mentioned, “One hundred times.”
Song Ling lowered his gaze, momentarily tempted, but realizing that ending the partnership would sever all ties with Gu Dai.
Song Ling replied, “No…”
Song Ling changed the subject quickly, “This time, I want to say that I can solve the raw material problem for you.”
Gu Dai frowned, “I said I don’t need it.”
Song Ling’s expression darkened slightly, but thinking of what he was about to say filled him with confidence again, “I’ve found information on organization X.”
Gu Dai was taken aback, about to ask how Song Ling knew about organization X, but realizing his hacking skills and that she hadn’t deliberately hidden it from him, it wasn’t surprising he knew.
Yet…
Gu Dai said coldly to Song Ling, “Thank you, but I don’t need your help.”
Song Ling’s brows furrowed, “Organization X is tough to deal with, you alone…”
Before he could finish, Gu Dai gave him a warning look.
Gu Dai stared at Song Ling and said lightly, “Do you think your previous plight wasn’t dire enough, hence doubting my capabilities?”
Feeling the lingering pain in his leg, Song Ling trembled slightly.
Gu Dai glanced at Song Ling indifferently, “If I were still the frail person I once was, are you sure you’d still like me?”
After dropping these words, she no longer wished to entangle with Song Ling and turned to walk into the villa.
After Gu Dai had disappeared from sight, the smile on Su Ting’s face slowly faded, and he turned to warn Song Ling coldly, “Don’t bother Daidai again.”
Song Ling scoffed, looking at Su Ting with reddened eyes, “Organization X is tough to handle. Are you really okay with letting Gu Dai face them alone?”
Su Ting replied, “You don’t need to worry about that.”
After turning away, Su Ting lowered his gaze, worried that Gu Dai might get hurt. He wasn’t comfortable letting her investigate alone, but he would only investigate secretly, not wanting to disrupt her plans by imposing his presence.
Song Ling, watching Su Ting quickly enter the villa, cursed under his breath, “Coward.”
He returned to his car and dialed Zhao Xuan, “Continue investigating organization X. If there’s a chance, try to contact them. I want to negotiate..”
