Chapter 131 - 131: Uncomfortable

Translator: _Min_

Gu Dai crossed her arms and stared at Song Ling with coldness in her eyes, “If you have something to say, say it. Don’t lay a hand on me.”

Song Ling pursed his lips before asking, “If it wasn’t for Song family secrets, then why did you marry me?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

For a moment, Gu Dai’s mouth opened but no words came out. Her gaze towards him grew colder and colder.

In the past three years, her affection for him had been pure and without ulterior motives. Yet every possibility he guessed seemed to trample on her genuine feelings.

Song Ling avoided her gaze, “Then tell me, what was your purpose?”

Gu Dai let out a cold laugh and looked him straight in the eye, “I had no purpose. I simply liked you.”

A moment of bewilderment crossed Song Ling’s eyes. “Liked?”

Gu Dai confirmed, “Yes, 1 liked you. That’s why 1 was nice to you.”

Images of Gu Dai’s loving gaze flashed through Song Ling’s mind. But, encountering her now clear and unemotional eyes, he snapped back to reality. “Impossible. One can’t simply stop liking someone. You must be lying to me.”

Of course, love doesn’t just evaporate overnight. Even when she had amnesia, even after Song Ling had hurt her in various ways, Gu Dai was able to quickly regain her composure. She continued to smile at him, taking care of various aspects of his life.

Before she could speak, Song Ling glared at her, iciness in his eyes, “I get it. You were after money, weren’t you? 1 remember when we got married; you had my grandpa give you a huge sum of money.”

Now, Gu Dai was beginning to question her own judgment. She couldn’t fathom how she had fallen for someone like Song Ling in the first place. With a mind like his, she feared that spending too much time with him would infect her with his stupidity.

After all, he already knew that she was the daughter of the Gu family. If not for her amnesia, how could she possibly be short of money? And why would she marry someone she didn’t like just for money?

Stung by her disdainful gaze, Song Ling spoke in a deep voice, “So, did I guess correctly? You don’t want to admit it, do you?”

Gu Dai corrected him, “1 want to deny it because it’s not the truth, not because I don’t want to admit it.”

Song Ling, “So, if none of this is true, what is your reason for marrying me?”

Tilting her head slightly, Gu Dai looked at Song Ling with a sense of weariness, “I’ve already told you. I married you because 1 liked you.”

Song Ling instantly refuted, “I don’t believe it!”

Her gaze cooling even further, Gu Dai said, “Then I’ll tell you the real reason. Are you ready to hear it?”

Song Ling nodded, “Go on.”

Gu Dai looked serious as she began to speak, “The real reason 1 married you was because I was attracted to your body, which seemed rather impressive at first glance. Unfortunately, upon closer inspection, 1 realized that while you might look good on the outside, the ‘hardware’ was lacking. You know that kind of thing can really affect a marriage. So, my initial affection for you dwindled with each passing moment, until it eventually disappeared.”

Song Ling was dumbfounded. When he finally snapped back to reality, he erupted, “Impossible. You’re definitely spouting nonsense. 1 am clearly—”

Gu Dai interrupted him calmly, “Clearly what? Have you forgotten what we were doing a few minutes before I decided to divorce you?”

As her words settled, Song Ling recalled that indeed, just before their divorce, they had been in bed together.

But he was sure he was quite capable!

Just as this thought crossed his mind, Gu Dai’s next words landed like a punch.

Gu Dai continued, “My experience each time was poor, simply enduring it. Perhaps you should consider taking a course to improve.”

Song Ling’s gaze was fixated on her, trying to discern her true emotions. However, he found her expression unchanging, making it difficult to tell if she was lying.

In fact, Gu Dai’s words did hold some truth to them.

While Song Ling was physically competent, he was self-centered and inconsiderate of her feelings, leaving her only with a sensation of piercing pain and discomfort each time they were intimate.

His abilities now challenged, Song Ling’s expression grew colder. He wanted to grab Gu Dai’s arm and explain himself.

However, before he could even open his mouth, a Lincoln Navigator pulled up beside them. A group of well-dressed, burly men stepped out, forming two organized rows..
