Stunned, Su Ting’s expression darkened, “Brother, what are you hiding from me?”

Su Ci gently ruffled Su Ting’s hair, speaking softly, “When the time comes, I’ll tell you everything.”

Su Ting insisted, “I want to know what’s happening now!”

Su Ci’s gaze lowered, “Gu Dai is in danger. I came back to protect her, but I can’t reveal myself yet. It would alert those scheming behind the scenes and might make things spiral out of control.”

Su Ting grasped his brother’s hand in shock, “You mean someone is after Sis?”

Although Su Ci didn’t respond, his silence was a clear answer.

Glancing at the time, Su Ci excused himself, “I have to go now, but we’ll see each other again soon.”

Su Ting nodded, grabbing his brother’s hand before he left, “Can I tell Sis you’re alive?”

Su Ci shook his head, “Keep it a secret for now, from her and everyone else.”

Su Ting watched his brother disappear into the darkness, his lips pressed together in silent agreement.

Sitting on the sofa, Gu Dai opened her eyes upon Su Ting’s return, “Let’s go home.”

Seeing Gu Dai leave, Song Ling also stood up to follow.

Baua, noticing Song Ling’s departure, asked, “Brother, weren’t we going to have a match? Where are you going?”

Song Ling replied, “Something came up. We’ll have a match another time.”

Baua, scratching his head in confusion, wondered aloud, “He seemed very concerned about that lady. Maybe he’s more interested in her than competing with me?”

Another man nearby couldn’t help but comment, “Are you naive? It’s obvious he’s not here for the competition. He’s probably gone after that lady.”contemporary romance

Back in the car, Gu Dai murmured, her eyes closed, “That man… he felt like Su Ci.”

Su Ting was momentarily taken aback, his eyes flickering unconsciously.

Gu Dai opened her eyes and looked towards Su Ting, asking, “Is he Su Ci?”

At this moment, Su Ting could confirm that Gu Dai knew he had gone to find

Su Ci and that she even wanted him to go.

Recalling Su Ci’s instructions to him, he shook his head and replied, “I saw the man take off his mask. He’s not my brother.”

Gu Dai closed her eyes again, fighting back the tears that welled up.

The moment she saw that man, she had hoped he was Su Ci, her heart filled with anticipation. But the disappointment she faced was inevitable, though she should have expected it…

Su Ting looked at Gu Dai’s slightly pale face and turned his gaze away, unable to bear the sight.

He couldn’t understand what else his brother was hiding, to the extent that even the fact of his survival had to be kept secret.

The manor wasn’t far from the Gu family home, and it took less than an hour for the two to reach there.

As Su Ting looked at the Gu family’s gate, he lowered his eyes and reached out to hold Gu Dai’s hand.

Gu Dai stopped and turned to Su Ting, asking, “What’s wrong?”

Taking a deep breath, Su Ting closed his eyes and confessed, “Daidai, I like you.”

Gu Dai was taken aback, not expecting Su Ting to suddenly say this.

Without waiting for Gu Dai to respond, Su Ting continued, “I’ve liked you for a long time. I know about your feelings for my brother, so I don’t expect you to feel the same about me, but…”

Su Ting said, “My brother and I are related; I must be the person who looks most like him in the whole world. What I mean is, you can treat me as a substitute for my brother! It’s because Song Ling looks similar to my brother that he was able to win your affection, even for three whole years…”

Song Ling shouted coldly, “What did you say?”

Seeing Song Ling, Gu Dai asked, “What are you doing here?”

Song Ling clenched his fists and did not respond to Gu Dai.

He felt utterly ridiculous at that moment. He had followed a woman like Gu Dai secretly, thinking she resembled someone, only to find out he had been nothing but a substitute!

Zhao Xuan felt a chill in the air and the words “It’s over” kept flashing in his mind. He reached out to stop Song Ling from acting rashly, but his hand grasped nothing.

Song Ling strode towards Su Ting, raising his hand to throw a punch.

Su Ting struck first, sending Song Ling reeling back three steps, “Did you think I was easy to bully?”
