BXBX NOVEL Chapter 550: Planning to go to the Island
Gu Dai remained composed in the face of Gu Zhe’s questioning, nodding calmly in response, “Of course.”
After her words fell, eager to divert the conversation from further scrutiny, she quickly changed the subject, “I’m so hungry after working all day. Let’s have dinner now. This is our family reunion dinner, after all!”
Hearing the mention of a reunion dinner, Gu Zhe’s attention was successfully diverted.
After dinner, Gu Dai hurried Gu Zhe and Meng Xian to rest. Once back in her room, she let out a sigh of relief, muttering to herself regretfully, “If I hadn’t responded then, I wouldn’t have aroused suspicion.”
At that moment, someone knocked on her bedroom door.
Gu Dai felt a bit nervous, however, when she saw it was Su Ting at the door and relaxed, “Come in.”
Su Ting’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Gu Dai, “Daidai, uncle and aunt have agreed to us being together!”
Gu Dai, infected by Su Ting’s happiness, smiled in response, “Mhmm.”
Remembering the report from her people, she looked at Su Ting and inquired, “Did Song Ling trouble you today?”
Su Ting shook his head, “President Song wanted to discuss a project with me today.”
After his explanation, he added, “But I declined him using the reason that our schedule is fully booked.”
Gu Dai showed no change in expression but asked again with concern, “Did Song Ling really not trouble you?”
Su Ting, smiling, reassured her, “Really, Daidai, don’t worry.”
He didn’t take Song Ling seriously.
Su Ting remembered his reason for visiting Gu Dai and asked softly, “Daidai, are you planning to go to that island alone?”
Gu Dai paused, averting her gaze, “What island? I…”
Su Ting sighed softly, embracing her as he said, “The island where uncle and aunt were taken.”
Not wanting Su Ting to worry, Gu Dai instinctively wanted to refute.
However, Su Ting spoke before she could, “Daidai, your expression gives you away, and your computer is still open to information about the island. You’ve also arranged for a private jet.”
Following Su Ting’s gaze, Gu Dai realized she had forgotten to close her laptop. She admitted, “That island does not seem so simple. I want to go there and see if I can find clues about the mastermind.”
Su Ting disagreed, “That island is dangerous, filled with traps. Maybe we should look for other ways to find the mastermind.”
Gu Dai shook her head, “I’ve had people looking, but there’s been no trace of a clue for days. Now, the only option is to go to the island.”
Su Ting still disagreed, “But…”
Gu Dai softly said, “I know it’s dangerous, but even if I don’t seek out the person behind this, they will find ways to come after us. An unseen enemy is even more dangerous.”
Su Ting fell silent, then said, “Then I’ll go with you.”
Gu Dai frowned in refusal, “No!”
Su Ting looked at her with pleading eyes, “I can’t stand the thought of you going alone, and even if you don’t take me, I’ll find a way to follow you.”
Gu Dai sighed, “Let’s talk about it when the time comes.”
Knowing not to push too hard, Su Ting dropped the subject.
When Gu Dai’s door was knocked on again, she opened it to see Xu Huan and quickly took the fruit from her hands, “Grandma, you could have just called me to get it. You didn’t have to bring it yourself.”
Xu Huan smiled, “I was coming up anyway.”
Seeing Su Ting emerging behind Gu Dai, her smile widened, “Oh, Su Ting is here too. I was wondering why there was no answer when I knocked. Wait here, I’ll bring Su Ting’s share of the fruit too.”
Su Ting hurriedly waved it off, “Grandma, no need. I don’t eat much. Sharing with Sis is fine.”
Gu Dai’s cheeks flushed slightly under Xu Huan’s teasing gaze, quickly supporting Su Ting’s words, “Yes, sharing one portion between us is enough.”
Xu Huan, understanding young people’s shyness, didn’t insist, “Alright then. You two have a chat and try to rest early.”
Gu Dai nodded hastily in agreement, “We know, Grandma!”
Xu Huan, seeing Gu Dai’s happiness about her parents’ return, felt joy in her heart as well.
But amidst her happiness, she couldn’t help but think of Ye Yun, and her son…
Xu Huan’s smile faded slightly as she closed her eyes and sighed deeply..
