Song Ling retorted, “How do you know I wouldn’t listen if you had told me?” Zhou Ci’s gaze fell on Song Ling, and he spoke calmly, “Think about it again.” At that moment, Song Ling suddenly remembered Zhao Xuan had advised him many times, but he had only trusted Jiang Yue then and never heeded Zhao Xuan’s words.
Just then, a woman approached Song Ling, her voice coquettish, “Handsome, I’ve been watching you for a while. Can we get your number?”
Song Ling, already irritated, felt even more annoyed by her words. After downing a gla.s.s of liquor, he refused impatiently, “No.”
The woman’s face changed. She had set her sights on Song Ling as soon as he entered, and she was used to easily getting numbers from different men. However, she was rejected today.
Being rejected made it more challenging.
The woman flipped her hair, bending over to reveal her cleavage, and continued, “Handsome, if you have problems, you can talk to me. Sharing your problems can make you feel better, and who knows, I might even help you find a solution.”
Song Ling looked up with cold eyes, “I just want to be alone right now. If you bother me again, don’t blame me for getting physical.”
Zhou Ci, seeing Song Ling’s state, shook his head helplessly, then told the woman, “My brother is in a bad mood. If you don’t leave now, he really will get physical.”
The woman, realizing Song Ling was serious, paled a bit.
But she couldn’t bear to leave just like that, especially after boasting to her friends that she would definitely get the handsome man’s contact.
Looking over to her seat, she saw her friends sneakily watching the scene.
Taking a deep breath, she glanced around and finally set her eyes on Zhou Ci, asking coyly, “Handsome, can I add your number?”
Zhou Ci hurriedly declined, “Sorry, I already have someone I like. I don’t need other people’s number.”
The woman’s face brightened a bit, planning to tell her friends later that the handsome man already had someone he liked and the unsuccessful attempt was unrelated to her charm.
After the woman left, Zhou Ci sighed in relief.
Song Ling commented coldly, “You’ve changed a lot.”
Before, Zhou Ci would readily agree to add any beautiful woman’s contact, even their friends. But now, he could calmly refuse.
Zhou Ci sipped his drink, Gu Dai’s face flashing in his mind, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face, “People always change.”
Zhou Ci continued, “After all, I only have Gu Dai in my heart now. I can’t interact with other women like before.”
Song Ling clenched his fists, his eyes cold as he looked at Zhou Ci, “She doesn’t like you!”
Zhou Ci replied indifferently, “I know. But so what?”
Zhou Ci added, “Ever since I realized I liked her, I’ve avoided contact with other women. And just because I don’t have a chance now doesn’t mean Gu Dai won’t like me in the future, maybe she’ll be blind to love.”
Zhou Ci was actually quite hopeful about Gu Dai eventually liking him.
He looked at Song Ling’s dead serious face, then earnestly said after a long pause, “I personally think the chance of Gu Dai liking me is as high as her once liking you.”
Song Ling stood up, angrily questioning, “What do you mean, Zhou Ci?”
Zhou Ci pointed out, “Don’t you remember how you treated Gu Dai? With your poor att.i.tude, she still liked you. Isn’t that blindness?”
Song Ling also remembered his att.i.tude towards Gu Dai during their three-year marriage, struggling to maintain his composure.
He warned Zhou Ci, “You are not allowed to like Gu Dai.”
Zhou Ci countered, “Why not?”
Zhou Ci argued, “If I’m not mistaken, you and Gu Dai are divorced now, aren’t you? What right or position do you have to warn me? I told you I liked Gu Dai many days ago, and you said nothing then. What’s there to say now?”
Song Ling’s mood remained darkened, feeling a sense of powerlessness. Indeed, what right did he have now?
