Gu Zhe, with a smile, patted Su Ting’s shoulder, “Su Ting, don’t be nervous. Your aunt and I didn’t say we disagree with you two being together. I was just overwhelmed by the fact that Daidai has grown up, and I didn’t react immediately.”

Meng Xian nodded in agreement, “Yes.”

Recalling Su Ting’s earlier words, she added, “Su Ting, in fact, your uncle and I felt you were a good kid from the first moment we saw you. We had thought about setting you two up together when the opportunity arose.”

Gu Dai also looked at Su Ting earnestly, “Knowing your intentions is enough for me, and I understand your character, so there’s no need to transfer the company to me.”

However, Su Ting shook his head, firmly stating, “This is something I’ve already decided on, and…”

Everyone’s gaze, including Meng Si and the others, turned to Su Ting, waiting for him to continue.

Su Ting, with flushed ears, muttered, “And I thought that having my money with Daidai would give me a sense of warmth, like home.”

Meng Zhi couldn’t help but cough lightly. He had some reservations about Su Ting due to past incidents involving his friend, Su Ci. But now, seeing Daidai taking the lead in their relationship, he quickly warmed up to Su Ting, seeing him in a more favorable light.

Meng Xian laughed softly, “Your aunt is very happy to see you and Daidai together.”

Gu Zhe also nodded, “We hope you two will get along well in the future.”

After saying this, he looked at Su Ting seriously, “If you ever break today’s promise, I will not show mercy.”

Meng Si, Meng Chuan, and Meng Zhi also chimed in, “We won’t let you off either!”

Understanding their acceptance, Su Ting’s eyes sparkled as he firmly replied, “I will never do anything to betray Daidai!”

Gu Dai’s heart fluttered, her gaze fixed on Su Ting as she softly said, “I believe you.”

Gu Zhe and Meng Xian, seeing the happiness on Gu Dai’s face, couldn’t help but softly say, “Seeing so many people love Daidai makes us very happy.”

Gu Dai nodded, tears shimmering in her eyes, “Mom, dad, I always thought… you were no longer with us. I’m so, so happy now. I hope our family will never be separated again.”

She resolved to protect her parents, ensuring no harm would come to them again.

Gu Dai couldn’t bear the thought of losing her parents once more.

Gu Zhe and Meng Xian, with light laughter, nodded in unison, “We will never be separated again!”

After taking a deep breath to calm her excitement, Gu Dai asked, “Mom, dad, what happened to you all those years ago? Why were you taken to that island?”

Meng Xian, upon hearing the question, recalled the harsh life on the island, her expression darkening, and even Gu Zhe’s face turned pale.

Seeing her parents’ reactions, Gu Dai quickly said, “Mom, dad, I shouldn’t have asked. Let’s not think about it anymore.”

Gu Zhe sighed, “We don’t know who took us to that island. There were many people guarding us, restricting our freedom. If not for Meng Si rescuing us, we might have been trapped there for the rest of our lives.”

Scenes flashed through Gu Dai’s mind as she looked at her parents’ faces and noticed how much they had aged in the past three years.

She clenched her fists tightly, took a deep breath, and kept telling herself to continue listening to her father. This effort barely kept her anger at bay.

Gu Zhe gritted his teeth, “During the years we were held captive, a mechanical voice spoke to us.”

Gu Dai, startled, asked, “A mechanical voice?”

Meng Xian nodded, “Yes.”

Gu Dai lowered her gaze, hiding her contemplative expression.

Could the person behind the mechanical voice be the same one who had kidnapped her onto the ship?

Gu Dai speculated, “Did the mechanical voice say this was all because the Gu family owed him, that this was retribution for the Gu family?”

Gu Zhe looked up in shock, “Daidai, how did you know?”

Gu Dai pursed her lips, her words vague, “I encountered it before, but didn’t think much of it at the time. It just came back to me now.”

Gu Zhe frowned, “Before?”

Gu Dai nodded, “It was a long time ago. If you hadn’t mentioned the mechanical voice, I might never have remembered it in my lifetime.”

Gu Zhe was skeptical, “Really?”
