Chapter 650: Instinctively Trust Su Ting

Gu Dai responded with a quiet “Mm,” her emotions remaining largely unchanged.

Song Ling, unable to discern whether Gu Dai believed him, was internally fraught with anxiety.

He feared that his own nervousness might tip her off, so he remained troubled by himself.

As Gu Dai strolled through the mall, she appeared outwardly calm, but her thoughts had already drifted far away. She sensed Song Ling’s unease and suspected he might be lying.

Lying…

What was Song Ling hiding from her, and who was he afraid she might encounter?

Due to her amnesia, Gu Dai could not recall anything, no matter how hard she tried.

Noticing Song Ling approaching, she quickly sidestepped, avoiding physical contact. Her gaze was cool as she said, “Sorry, I don’t like physical contact.”

In the presence of many employees in the mall, Song Ling could feel Gu Dai’s aversion to him more acutely than ever.

Her rejection was like a slap to his face, nearly breaking his composure. He took a deep breath to calm himself and spoke softly, “Chuchu, we’re a couple, so holding hands is quite normal.”

Gu Dai remained resolute. “No.”

The employees, overhearing their conversation, glanced curiously but soon felt a chill, causing them to quickly avert their eyes.

After scanning the employees, Song Ling turned back to Gu Dai and said, “Chuchu, you’re not used to this because of the accident. We’ll start with small gestures, and you’ll get used to it soon.”

Gu Dai fixed her gaze on Song Ling. “Although I have amnesia, things don’t seem as you describe.”

Song Ling was taken aback and quickly defended himself, “I’m speaking the truth. How could things be…”

Gu Dai interrupted, “I can sense that my discomfort isn’t about getting used to physical contact. It’s a genuine aversion.”

Song Ling’s smile faltered completely. His face became expressionless. “We are a couple.”

Gu Dai replied, “I don’t believe you.”

Song Ling’s expression darkened, his teeth clenched. “You can’t judge based on just your discomfort. We haven’t even tried physical contact yet. You won’t know if you can accept it until we try.”

With that, he reached out to embrace Gu Dai.

However, his hand was intercepted mid-air, completely missing Gu Dai.

Song Ling felt a sharp pain in his arm. He tried to pull his hand back, but it wouldn’t budge. Angrily, he looked up to see who was holding him, only to freeze upon recognizing the person. After a moment, he stammered, “Su, Su Ting, what are you doing here?”

Su Ting forcefully yanked Song Ling’s hand away.

Song Ling tried to retract his hand, but Su Ting’s sudden release caused him to stumble back, eventually falling to the ground.

Su Ting looked coldly at the fallen Song Ling. “I’m here to take my wife home.”

The word “wife” struck Song Ling like a blow. He immediately sprang to his feet and said to Su Ting with a cold tone, “Chuchu is my girlfriend, not your wife.”

Su Ting raised an eyebrow. “Chuchu?”

Song Ling affirmed, “Yes.”

He instinctively moved towards Gu Dai, reaching out to take her hand but hesitated due to the pain in his arm.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Dai looked at Song Ling, then turned to Su Ting and said, “My name is Song Chu.”

Su Ting shook his head. “No, your name is Gu Dai. You’re my wife.”

Song Ling’s eyes reddened as he shouted, “She is not Gu Dai! She is Song Chu, my girlfriend!”

Gu Dai looked back and forth between Su Ting and Song Ling, unable to remember anything. A sharp pain throbbed in her head, making her complexion pale.

Su Ting immediately noticed Gu Dai’s discomfort. He gently placed his hands on her temples and began massaging them softly, asking, “Do you feel any better?”

Gu Dai nodded slightly. “Much better.”

Seeing this, Song Ling’s anger flared. He turned to Gu Dai and demanded, “Aren’t you uncomfortable with Su Ting?”

Gu Dai paused, thought for a moment, and then answered sincerely, “No.”

Song Ling was stunned, his disbelief evident. “What did you say?”

Gu Dai repeated, “I said I’m not uncomfortable with him.”

Song Ling’s anger erupted. “Why are you not uncomfortable with Su Ting? Why? Do you choose to believe him and think you are his wife rather than my girlfriend?”

Gu Dai instinctively wanted to trust Su Ting, but her amnesia made it difficult to come to a definitive conclusion..
