After Gu Dai called the waitstaff, she then went to find the person in charge.

Soon, the restaurant broadcasted a message to find someone.

Jiang Sui’s eyes shimmered with tears, still looking downcast.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Dai asked softly, “Does Suisui like to draw?”

Draw?

Jiang Sui nodded vigorously, her voice crisp and clear as she replied, “I like to!” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Dai took out paper and pencils from her bag. “While waiting for Mommy and Daddy, how about we draw together?”

Jiang Sui nodded, “Okay.”

Since Song Ling took over the Song family, everyone had always shown him the utmost respect. Today, however, was the first time he felt so thoroughly ignored.

Song Ling, feeling disgruntled, looked down at the drawings with a gloomy expression.

Gu Dai wasn’t creating any masterpieces but simply drew cartoon animals with Jiang Sui.

However, when Song Ling saw the little rabbit Gu Dai drew, a sense of familiarity washed over him, and a name slowly surfaced in his mind.

He couldn’t believe it and asked in disbelief, “Are you Lin Zhu?”

Gu Dai paused in her drawing for a moment but quickly resumed as if nothing happened.

Song Ling didn’t need Gu Dai’s confirmation. The familiar style, smooth execution, and attention to detail in the little rabbit convinced him further.

Staring intently at Gu Dai, he declared firmly, “You are Lin Zhu!”

Song Ling couldn’t believe that the artist he had admired for so many years was right beside him, and it was Gu Dai.

Shocked, he stood up, only to collapse back into his seat, his voice trembling as he asked Gu Dai, “Why didn’t you ever tell me that you are Lin Zhu?”

Gu Dai continued to teach Jiang Sui to draw, ignoring Song Ling.

Jiang Sui leaned in and whispered to Gu Dai, “Big Sister, what’s wrong with Uncle?”

Gu Dai glanced at Song Ling and replied indifferently, “I don’t know. Let’s not let him disturb us, Suisui. Let’s keep drawing.”

Jiang Sui nodded, “Okay.”

Song Ling was speechless.

Song Ling remained silent, lips pursed, filled with agitation. But his gaze, when it fell on Gu Dai, couldn’t shift away.

Gu Dai, with the same features as before, now exuded an air of elegance, looking exceptionally beautiful and radiant.

A couple rushed over anxiously, looking at Jiang Sui in Gu Dai’s arms. They called softly, “Suisui.”

Jiang Sui’s eyes lit up immediately when she saw them. She excitedly threw herself into their arms, affectionately shouting, “Mommy! Daddy!”

They responded, then turned to Gu Dai, gratefully saying, “Thank you, young lady. We heard everything from the waiter. If it weren’t for you, Suisui could have been hurt. We are so grateful.”

Gu Dai stood up and gestured that it was nothing.

After a moment of thought, she advised, “Suisui is still young. While you work, don’t forget to spend some time with her.”

The parents, realizing their oversight, felt a bit embarrassed but quickly agreed, “We understand and will be more careful in the future.”

They thanked Gu Dai profusely, even offering gifts as an apology for Jiang Sui disturbing her.

Gu Dai shook her head, “No need, Suisui is very well-behaved and cute. I enjoyed spending time with her.”

Hearing Gu Dai’s praise, Jiang Sui lifted her head proudly.

Before leaving with her parents, Jiang Sui, feeling a strong sense of reluctance, ran to Gu Dai and hugged her legs, saying earnestly, “I had a lot of fun with Big Sister too. I really, really like you!”

Gu Dai, always fond of children’s innocence, couldn’t help but smile. She watched them leave before turning her attention elsewhere.

Picking up her bag, she prepared to leave.

Song Ling quickly stepped forward, grabbing her hand, “Do you have a place to stay in Chuanchen?”

Without waiting for an answer, he continued, “I have a few hotels in

Chuanchen. If you need a place to stay, you can go to any of them.”

Gu Dai pulled her hand away, taking out a wet wipe to clean her wrist until it turned red, before stopping.

She looked at Song Ling and asked indifferently, “Didn’t you say it was your first time in Chuanchen and that you were unfamiliar with the place? How come you have hotels here?”

Song Ling froze, recalling his previous words and feeling embarrassed, his mind racing for an explanation.

Gu Dai didn’t wait for him to speak and said, “I have a place to stay in Chuanchen..”
