Chapter 483: I’ll Accompany You

Translator: _Min_ |

Su Ci arrived at the banquet only after it had ended, presenting the gift he had prepared for Xu Huan.

“Sorry, Grandma Gu,” Su Ci began, his voice tinged with regret. “There were some issues at my studio, which made me late. I…”

Xu Huan waved his concerns away. “It’s fine, it’s fine. As long as you’re here now. Have you eaten?”

Su Ci shook his head.

Immediately, Xu Huan instructed the kitchen to prepare a meal again.

Seeing Xu Huan showing signs of tiredness, Gu Dai spoke softly, “Grandma, you haven’t fully recovered yet. You should rest early. It’s better for your recovery.”

Su Ting chimed in, “Yes, Grandma.”

Xu Huan glanced at Su Ci, then hesitated, “But there are still guests…”

Gu Dai smiled reassuringly. “It’s alright. Su Ci isn’t a guest; I’ve long considered him family. Besides, Su Ting and I are here. Let us take care of him.”

Hearing the word “family,” a shadow passed briefly over Su Ci’s face before he smiled again. “Yes, Grandma Gu, you should rest.”

Convinced by their persuasion, Xu Huan finally nodded and left.

Su Ting then expressed his concern for Su Ci, “Brother, is your studio very busy?”

“If there’s anything you can’t handle, let us know. We’ll help you with it,” Gu Dai offered.

Su Ci shook his head, smiling. “It’s not difficult to solve, just a bit tedious and time-consuming. It’s okay.”

After saying this, he changed the subject. “Daidai, when you went to the mountains to visit your master recently, did you ask her to look at your injury?”

Gu Dai nodded, “Master treated it. I’m feeling much lighter and have recovered very well.”

“That’s relieving to hear,” Su Ci said.

The trio talked for a long while. After a moment of silence, Su Ci looked at Gu Dai and softly mentioned, “Daidai, I heard you’re going abroad tomorrow to discuss a project.”

Gu Dai wasn’t surprised Su Ci knew about this, given the project had been highly sought after in their circle and ultimately secured by the Gu Group.

“Yes,” she confirmed.

Su Ci bit his lip, concern evident in his tone. “The country you’re going to is in turmoil, and the local security isn’t great. It’s easy for accidents to happen. Can you not go?”

Gu Dai, unfazed, responded, “If we can secure this project, it would be a significant boost for the Gu Group.”

“But…” Su Ci started.

Gu Dai cut him off, “I’ve traveled through many countries before, and I’m confident in my abilities. Nothing will happen.”

Seeing Gu Dai’s firm stance, Su Ci knew he couldn’t persuade her otherwise. He turned to Su Ting, “It’s getting late. Su Ting, could you drive me home?”

“Sure,” Su Ting agreed.

As they got into the car, Su Ting asked, “Brother, what did you want to talk about?”

Su Ci replied, “The place Gu Dai is going to is really dangerous, but she won’t listen to me. Maybe she’ll listen to you if you talk to her after you get back.”

Su Ting’s brow furrowed as he turned to look at Su Ci. “Brother, do you know about it?”

Su Ci nodded. “There’s a vibe between you and Gu Dai that I can’t step into.”

Su Ting had always worried about how to explain his relationship with Gu Dai to Su Ci.

Su Ci patted Su Ting’s head, smiling lightly. “It’s okay. Don’t worry, I can no longer be with Daidai, unable to take care of her. Moreover, the moment I saw her again, I knew she no longer felt the same about me. It’s a good thing. Knowing she’s with you, I’m relieved and happy. Please take good care of her.”

Su Ting nodded firmly, “I will!”

He didn’t ignore the oddity in Su Ci’s words and inquired, “Brother, what happened in these three years? Why can’t you be with Daidai anymore? And last time, why did you rush to the hospital immediately, as if you knew who hurt Daidai, you…”

Su Ci repeated his earlier sentiment, “You’ll find out later.”

Upon his return, Gu Dai noticed Su Ting’s distraction and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

“About you, Daidai.”

Gu Dai nodded, acknowledging.

Su Ting continued, “My brother said that the country is very dangerous. What if something happens to you? Can you not go?”

Gu Dai reassured him softly, “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself. Nothing will happen.”

Seeing he couldn’t persuade her otherwise, Su Ting pondered for a moment before saying, “If you must go, then I’ll accompany you..”
