Chapter 201: Please Leave

Translator: _Min_

Gu Dai’s eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze landing dangerously on Song Ling.

Zhou Ci stood up with a guilty expression, his eyes continuously conveying apologies to Gu Dai.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Dai decided to let Zhou Ci off the hook for now.

She turned her head toward Song Ling and asked coldly, “What are you doing here?”

Having noticed the non-verbal exchange between Gu Dai and Zhou Ci, Song Ling’s expression darkened, his heart swelling with discontent.

Facing Gu Dai’s inquiry, he retorted coldly, “I’m here to discuss a partnership with you.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Gu Dai refused bluntly, “No discussion. Mr. Song, please leave.”

Witnessing this, Zhou Ci couldn’t help but interject, “I told you Gu Dai wouldn’t talk business with you. You didn’t believe me, and now here you are waiting…”

Song Ling’s face turned ashen, his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched into fists; veins popping out. Angrily, he shot back at Zhou Ci, “Shut up! Who asked you to speak?”

Although Zhou Ci generally listened to Song Ling, the fact that he was made to lose face in front of Gu Dai irritated him. He locked eyes with Song Ling.

The atmosphere in the office tightened instantaneously; it was as if sparks flew between their glances.

Gu Dai’s eyebrows furrowed, “Gu Group isn’t a place for you two to quarrel. If you want to argue, take it outside.”

As the words left Gu Dai’s mouth, both Song Ling and Zhou Ci shifted their gaze away.

Zhou Ci responded with good grace, “I apologize. I won’t argue any further.”

Eyeing Zhou Ci’s submissive demeanor, Song Ling snorted coldly. Lifting his head arrogantly, he addressed Gu Dai, “Our personal relationship may be strained, but a partnership between Song Corporation and Gu Group would be mutually beneficial. Don’t act rashly!”

Gu Dai couldn’t help but find it amusing, looking disdainfully at Song Ling, “I couldn’t care less about mutual benefits.”

Angered to the point of grinding his teeth, Song Ling began, “Gu Dai, you—”

Gu Dai interrupted, “Song Ling, you are a president after all. Don’t you know that when you want to meet someone, you should schedule it through their secretary and confirm the appointment in advance?”

Not giving Song Ling a chance to reply, she continued, “Of course, there’s no need for you to make an appointment because I won’t see you.”

Frustrated, Song Ling adjusted his tie and blurted out, “Gu Dai, don’t go too far!”

Gu Dai questioned, puzzled, “I’m going too far?”

Her gaze fixed intently on Song Ling as she added, “Who’s really going too far—me, or you?”

“Forget it, I don’t want to argue with you. Leave now, or I’ll have security escort you out. If by then the media captures you being thrown out and posts it online, not only will Song Corporation’s stock be affected, but you’ll also lose face in public!”

Song Ling’s face darkened as he moved toward the elevator. After taking a few steps, he pivoted abruptly and grasped Gu Dai’s slender, fair arm, questioning her with a heated urgency, “Why have you changed so much since our divorce? What secret are you keeping from me?”

His voice echoed loudly in the room, startling a few Gu Corporation employees who had just exited the elevator.

Gu Dai glanced at the onlookers, her gaze becoming even colder when it met Song Ling’s again.

Ever since regaining her memory, she had kept the matter of their marriage tightly sealed, not even wanting to touch upon that unpleasant chapter of her life. And yet, here was Song Ling, airing it out in public.

Wasn’t Song Ling the one who had always been reluctant to disclose their relationship, never even introducing her to others during their married life?

Why was he revealing it now?

Ignoring Song Ling, Gu Dai pointed toward the elevator and commanded icily, “Leave. Now!”

Witnessing Gu Dai’s dismissal, rational thought deserted Song Ling. Angered, he shot back, “Don’t dodge the question, Gu Dai. You’re clearly the heiress of the Gu family. Why did you hide your identity and marry me? What were you after?”

Gu Dai lifted her arm, shaking off Song Ling’s grip, then shoved him away.

Staggering back two steps, Song Ling finally steadied himself.

Gu Dai continued, “Mr. Song, mind your boundaries.”

Song Ling insisted, “Gu Dai, stop avoiding the question!”

With her arms crossed, Gu Dai looked at Song Ling coldly, “We’re divorced.

Even if you get the truth you seek, what’s the point?”

A sarcastic smile briefly touched Song Ling’s lips, “How is there no point? 1 can find out what ulterior motives you had for approaching me!”

Gu Dai’s lips curled into a derisive smile, which quickly faded. She spoke wearily, “Song Ling, we were married for three years. I’ve been wholeheartedly devoted to you throughout that time; I don’t believe you didn’t feel it..”
