Chapter 46: Trust Me
Translator: _Min_
Song Ling’s expression hardened, he angirly smashed his chopsticks on the bento box as he shouted at Zhao Xuan in annoyance, “Leave!”
Not wasting any time, Zhao Xuan swiftly exited the office, musing to himself. Since the divorce from his wife, President Song’s temper has progressively worsened!
At the same time, Zhao Xuan couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy. Miss Gu had truly loved President Song. Despite his canine-like temper, she not only put up with it but also devoted herself to his care 24/7, never once showing a hint of impatience.
Seated in his chair, Song Ling was gasping for air. He found it baffling that Gu Dai’s image continued to haunt his thoughts after their divorce.
This woman, Gu Dai, she indeed had strategies. When she was with me, she cooked for me, purchased and arranged clothes, and infiltrated every facet of my life. Was this her way of making it impossible for me to leave her?
As the thought coalesced in his mind, Song Ling scoffed, a derisive look surfacing in his eyes.
If Gu Dai thought like this, then she was sorely mistaken, because her presence had absolutely no impact on my life!
Zhao Xuan has increasingly proven to be incompetent, unable to manage the tasks a.s.signed to him, and even rashly guessing that the man accompanying Gu Dai was the legendary doctor.
What a joke!
If he was indeed the apprentice of the legendary doctor, wouldn’t that imply that Gu Dai, by his side, was the legendary doctor herself?
Song Ling felt as if he was losing his mind with this absurd idea. Given that Gu Dai, barely literate and from an underprivileged background, could not possibly possess such skills.
Furthermore, he had personally met the legendary doctor.
Five years ago, during a business trip to Europe, he found himself caught in a terrorist attack. Although the ringleader was promptly captured by local authorities, he was unfortunate enough to be struck by two bullets.
When they reached the local hospital, the doctor declared his condition as critical and life-threatening. The surgery agreement was repeatedly signed, and as they were on the verge of giving up, the legendary doctor made an appearance and kindly provided her a.s.sistance.
During the operation, Song Ling had a moment of lucidity and managed a vague glimpse at the legendary doctor.
Despite the doctor’s surgical attire and mask, he was sure that she was a woman of significant bearing, possessing pure and steadfast eyes, characteristics that Gu Dai, a delicate woman, could not hold a candle to.
Song Ling stared at the half jade pendant in his hand, firmly holding on to his conviction.
However, as Song Ling was mulling over this, Gu Dai’s graceful image kept intruding his thoughts.
With the art exhibition nearing, Gu Dai felt a wave of unease and questioned Su Ting, “1 haven’t prepared anything. Are you certain that everything is already set on your end?”
Unfazed, Su Ting a.s.sured her, “Do not fret, sister. Just place your trust in me.”
“Very well.”
No sooner had Gu Dai replied than there was a knock on the villa door.
“That must be the stylist and makeup artist,” Su Ting said, as he moved to answer the door.
Over these past few days, Gu Dai had familiarized herself with Su Ting’s situation during the last three years, and the people he interacted with, hence she instantly recognized the two newcomers not as ordinary stylists and makeup artists, but as part of Su Ting’s personal team during his time modeling overseas.
Yet, Gu Dai was somewhat taken aback to see them here, aware that they had declared to serve only Su Ting.
Seeing Gu Dai’s surprise, Su Ting clarified, “They have been wanting to meet you, sister. So, when they learned that you needed a stylist and makeup artist, they were adamant about coming.”
Xia Shi and Jiang Jue concurred with a nod.
When they entered the villa, their eyes were glued to Gu Dai, unable to contain their excitement, “Sister, we came prepared to be dazzled, but after seeing you in person, we realized our imaginations fell short. You’re a thousand, no, ten thousand times more stunning than we envisioned!”
“By the way, sister, are you considering a career in the entertainment industry? If you ever require a stylist or a makeup artist, do consider us. We will ensure you outshine every star!”
While Gu Dai did not consider Xia Shi and Jiang Jue’s praises to be exaggerated – given their international fame and the rumor that anyone they groomed would undeniably be the most exquisite masterpiece of humanity – she shook her head apologetically, “I’m sorry, but 1 have no plans of the sort at the moment.”
Despite their initial enthusiasm, Xia Shi and Jiang Jue weren’t disheartened, “That’s fine, it’s fine. Even if you don’t pursue a career in the entertainment industry, you can reach out to us anytime you require makeup or styling..”
