Gu Dai brought Su Ting back home and said, “I’ll make you some hangover soup.”

Su Ting coughed softly, slowly opening his eyes, and whispered, “No, no need. I can make it myself.”

Gu Dai, with her arms crossed, watched Su Ting walk towards the kitchen and asked, “You’re not really drunk, are you?”

Su Ting paused in his steps, turned around after a few seconds, and admitted in a low voice, “Mhmm.”

He hurriedly apologized, “Sis, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lied to you.”

Gu Dai reassured him, “It’s okay, as long as you didn’t drink too much.”

Su Ting nodded and proceeded to make the hangover soup, but his mind was preoccupied.

He wondered what Gu Dai thought of him after hearing Song Ling’s words. Did she see him differently?

Su Ting wanted to know the answer, but lost his nerve to ask when he met Gu Dai’s gaze.

Gu Dai took the bowl from Su Ting’s hands, advising, “The soup has just finished boiling. Let it cool a bit before drinking. Don’t rush.”

Su Ting, brought back to reality by her voice, obediently responded, “Okay.”

Gu Dai said, “Sis or Daidai, it’s just a name. Call me whatever you like; don’t worry about what Song Ling said.”

Su Ting, surprised, asked, “Really?”

Gu Dai nodded affirmatively, “Of course.”

Su Ting mentally prepared himself by repeating “Daidai” in his mind. A few minutes later, he looked up at Gu Dai and called out tentatively, “Daidai.”

Gu Dai responded, “Yes?”

Su Ting went to sleep with a smile on his face.

Although ‘Sis’ and ‘Daidai’ were just names, Su Ting felt they made a difference. Calling her ‘Sis’ might mean she only saw him as a brother, but ‘Daidai’…

For the next two days, Su Ting stuck close to Gu Dai, following her wherever she went, seemingly filled with endless energy.

Since Su Ting was usually quiet and unobtrusive, Gu Dai allowed him to stay by her side.

Su Ting’s energy lasted until he had to leave Gu Dai. He looked at her with longing, whispering softly, “Daidai, I don’t want to leave you.”

Gu Dai reviewed his work schedule, “It should be over in less than half a month.

Go on, get busy, and come back soon.”

Su Ting nodded vigorously, “Okay!”

After Su Ting left, Gu Dai decided to visit Fu Nan in the hospital.

She asked Fu Nan, “How is your recovery?”

Fu Nan smiled, “Don’t worry, Miss Gu Dai. Except for some weakness in my wrist, I’m almost fully recovered.”

Gu Dai, concerned he might hide his condition, turned to Zheng Ming for confirmation.

Zheng Ming nodded, confirming Fu Nan’s words, and added, “Mr. Fu Nan has been diligent these past days, studying dance and choreographing on his own.”

Fu Nan, slightly embarrassed, said, “I can’t stay idle, and I need to work hard to reach higher stages and bring more benefits to the company.”

When he looked up at Gu Dai, he quickly averted his gaze, blushing.

Gu Dai reassured him, “The most important reason I signed you to our company was because I felt you were suitable for the stage from the first moment I saw you. Just work hard. You don’t need to worry about the company’s profits or let it become a burden.”

Fu Nan, moved, quickly turned away to hide his tears, whispering, “Okay!”

After chatting a while longer, Gu Dai left the room.

She didn’t expect to run into Zhao Xuan just outside the room.

Zhao Xuan, surprised, quickly said, “Miss Gu Dai, what a coincidence to see you here.”

Gu Dai nodded and was about to leave when Zhao Xuan stopped her, tears already streaming down his face in just a few seconds.

Confused, Gu Dai asked, “Assistant Zhao, what’s wrong?”

Zhao Xuan, crying, said, “Miss Gu Dai, please visit our president. He drank too much that night and irritated his stomach. He’s been in the hospital for several days now.”

Gu Dai was surprised, “I didn’t expect Song Ling to be here not to visit Jiang Yue, but because he himself was admitted.”

Zhao Xuan quickly corrected her, “President Song certainly didn’t come to see Jiang Yue..”
