Chapter 634: Take you to Dinner to Make Amends

After Gu Dai successfully returned to a state of obliviousness, she began to understand what Su Ting might have been up to, and instantly relaxed.

Meng Zhi might have broken free from Shi Nuan as he eagerly began, “I have to tell you, Su Ting he—”

Gu Dai quickly interrupted him, “Third brother, I don’t want to know right now.”

Meng Zhi, still caught up in his excitement, didn’t hear Gu Dai’s words and continued, “Su Ting is planning to propose to you tonight!”

Shi Nuan’s angry voice followed promptly, “Meng Zhi, shut up!”

She quickly turned to Gu Dai and said, “Daidai, don’t listen to Meng Zhi’s nonsense, he—”

Gu Dai shook her head with resignation, “It’s fine, I’m used to third brother’s blabbermouth.”

Realizing his mistake too late, Meng Zhi apologized, “Daidai, I’m sorry.”

Gu Dai responded with “It’s okay,” but felt a tinge of disappointment after hanging up the phone.

The door was knocked, and Su Ting walked in soon after, gently embracing Gu Dai as he spoke, “You already know?”

Gu Dai nodded, her voice low, “Yeah.”

Su Ting gently patted Gu Dai’s back, comforting, “It’s alright, Daidai, I won’t propose today. I’ll propose another time and give you a proper surprise.”

Gu Dai waved his hand dismissively, “It’s okay if you don’t propose. After all, we’ve already registered our marriage, there’s no need for another proposal.”

Su Ting opened his mouth to say something but ultimately remained silent.

After composing herself, Gu Dai walked out of the room and saw Meng Zhi and Shi Nuan hurrying over.

Meng Zhi said, “Daidai, I’m sorry about earlier. To make it up, let me treat you to a meal.”

Shi Nuan nodded vigorously, “Yes, yes, give Meng Zhi a chance.”

Hearing their words, Gu Dai hesitated, then spoke, “I’m fine now, you don’t need to feel bad or take me out to dinner.”

Meng Zhi insisted with determination, “We must!”

Shi Nuan added, “Absolutely, we must treat you to dinner, otherwise… otherwise Meng Zhi will continue to feel guilty, maybe for the rest of his life!”

Gu Dai raised an eyebrow, skeptical, “Is that really so exaggerated?”

After a few seconds of silence, Meng Zhi suddenly cried out in pain, then nodded vigorously, “Yes, it’s exactly that exaggerated!”

Understanding Meng Zhi’s shamelessness but faced with his and Shi Nuan’s earnest looks, Gu Dai eventually relented, “Alright, for third brother’s future peace of mind, Su Ting and I will join you for the meal.”

Meng Zhi’s smile vanished immediately, “No, Su Ting can’t come with us!”

Confused, Gu Dai asked, “Why not?”

Meng Zhi stuttered, “Because… because he has things to attend to later.”

Turning to Su Ting, Gu Dai inquired, “You have plans later?”

Su Ting nodded, “Yes, there’s something I need to handle at the company.”

Gu Dai nodded in understanding, “Alright, then I’ll go ahead. Contact me if you need anything.”

Su Ting softly replied, “Okay.”

As Shi Nuan stopped pinching Meng Zhi’s hand, they exchanged glances and both sighed in relief, then quickly approached Gu Dai with a smile, “Daidai, I recently discovered a fantastic restaurant!”

Meng Zhi added, “Yes, I’m sure you’ll love it there. Let’s go, let’s go!”

As Gu Dai walked away, Su Ting realized his back was covered in sweat. He sighed, and turned to Wu Zhen, “Uncle Wu, we can start preparing now.”

Sitting in the back of the car, Shi Nuan chatted and laughed with Gu Dai.

Meng Zhi sneaked a glance at Shi Nuan and could only sigh in resignation, comforted slightly by what was to come.

Meng Zhi announced, “We’re home.”

Gu Dai stepped out of the car and noticed the Gu family’s home was completely dark, which was unusual, “Why are all the lights off today?”

Meng Zhi replied casually, “Everyone went to bed early today. Let’s go, we’ll walk you in.”

Gu Dai waved him off, “No need to walk me in, I can go by myself. You take Nuannuan home.”

Meng Zhi looked reluctantly at Shi Nuan.

Shi Nuan tugged at Gu Dai’s arm, batting her eyelashes coquettishly, “We haven’t slept together in a long time. Let’s sleep together tonight..”
