Translator: _Min_

Gu Dai called out gently, “Grandpa.”

Song An nodded repeatedly, his eyes narrowing into happy slits. “Daidai, come over and have a seat,” he said warmly.

He observed Gu Dai closely, and upon realizing she was indeed unharmed, he sighed in relief. “It’s a relief that you’re alright; truly a relief.”

Gu Dai nodded, then proceeded to ask, “Grandpa, how have you been feeling lately? Have you felt any discomfort?”

Song An reassured her, “Gu Dai, there’s no need for you to worry about me. I just underwent a comprehensive health check-up this morning, and the doctor confirmed that I’m in excellent health.”

Upon receiving the medical report from the butler and verifying Song An’s statement, Gu Dai felt at ease.

Song An glanced towards the kitchen and mentioned, “Lunch should be ready in about ten minutes. Let’s chat in the meantime.”

He then suddenly remembered something urgent and quickly added, “Gu Dai, is there anything pressing at your company that requires your attention? I should have asked the chef to start preparing the meal earlier. I…”

Gu Dai smiled, reassuring him, “It’s alright; there’s nothing at the company that requires my immediate attention.”

Song An said, “Daidai, I saw online that you’ve been leading the Gu Group’s development very well. However, I’m wondering if you’ve encountered any difficulties? If there are problems you find hard to solve, feel free to speak up. we can think together for a good solution.”

After hearing Song An’s words, Gu Dai reflected on the recent challenges at work and shared them with him.

After some thought, Song An came up with a solution, and they began discussing it together.

He nodded in approval of Gu Dai’s approach to problem-solving, admiring, “Your methods are exceptional. It seems the strategies from my time are no longer applicable in today’s world.”

Gu Dai responded, “Grandpa, your insights also provide me with many new perspectives.”

Song An, after a brief moment of thought, suggested, “If you encounter any unsolvable problems at work, you could also seek advice from Song Ling.”

Gu Dai fell silent, but after meeting Song An’s gaze, she nodded in agreement, “Okay, Grandpa.”

Song An nodded with a smile. “Although Song Ling, that rascal, isn’t much to speak of as a person, he indeed has a knack for managing the company.”

Reflecting on a recent collaboration where she had outmaneuvered Song Ling, Gu Dai decided to come clean to Song An.

Upon hearing her confession, Song An burst into hearty laughter.

Gu Dai braced herself for a reprimand, but Song An did not scold her.

She looked up at him with puzzled eyes, asking in a soft voice, “Grandpa, are you not angry?”

Song An shook his head. “That rascal made his own decisions; what’s there for me to be angry about? Moreover, Daidai, I’m on your side. Knowing that you’ve made a profit, I couldn’t be happier.”

Gu Dai, recalling the times over the past three years when Song An had protected her, couldn’t help but choke up and call out, “Grandpa…”

Song An responded and, seeing Gu Dai cry, asked in a fluster, “My dear child, don’t cry, please don’t.”

Gu Dai nodded, wiping away her tears, and a smile appeared on her face.

Song An was conflicted for a long time but eventually couldn’t resist asking, “Daidai, do you think there’s still a chance between you and that rascal, Song Ling?”

Before Gu Dai could respond, he continued, “Although that rascal was once a terrible person and treated you poorly, from what I’ve observed, he has started to change recently. And he has fallen for you. Would you consider giving him a chance?”

Gu Dai shook her head. “Grandpa, I already have a boyfriend.”

Song An was startled, suspecting that Gu Dai was using that as an excuse to brush him off, and quickly said, “Daidai, although Song Ling is my grandson and I do hope you two could be together, if you’re unwilling, I definitely won’t force you. Just don’t reject him by randomly picking a boyfriend in a few days.”

Gu Dai quickly clarified with a smile, “Grandpa, I’m not just picking anyone. I’m truly in a relationship.”

Seeing Gu Dai’s serious expression, Song An finally believed her and eagerly asked, “Who is it? Can you show me?”

Gu Dai nodded and showed him a picture of Su Ting.

Song An nodded in approval, “This young man looks very handsome, but looks aren’t everything. What matters is how well he treats you. If he has the same personality as Song Ling used to have, you must not stay with him..”
