nChapter 650: Instinctively Trust Su Ting

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

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

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

nAs 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.

nLying…

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

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

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

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

nHer 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.”

nGu Dai remained resolute. “No.”

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

nAfter 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.”

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

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

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

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

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

nSong 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.”

nWith that, he reached out to embrace Gu Dai.

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

nSong 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?”

nSu Ting forcefully yanked Song Ling’s hand away.

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

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

nThe 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.”

nSu Ting raised an eyebrow. “Chuchu?”

nSong Ling affirmed, “Yes.”

nHe instinctively moved towards Gu Dai, reaching out to take her hand but hesitated due to the pain in his arm.

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

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

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

nGu 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.

nSu 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?”

nGu Dai nodded slightly. “Much better.”

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

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

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

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

nSong 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?”

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