Song Lingās gaze towards Su Ting was filled with hostility, his heart ablaze with fury.
Gu Dai posed a challenge, āEven if Su Ting really causes the project to incur losses, what of it?ā
Song Ling slammed his hand on the table with such force that it collapsed with a loud crash, drawing the attention of everyone around.
He stood up and then sat down next to Gu Dai. āMy table is broken, and all the other seats are taken. Letās share a table.ā
Gu Dai looked displeased.
Su Ting chuckled softly and offered, āDaidai, sit next to me.ā
He changed seats to face Song Ling. āPresident Song, we certainly donāt mind. After all, you wouldnāt leave even if we asked, and weāve already ordered our food. Itād be a waste not to eat.ā
As the waiter served the dishes and saw the broken table, he paused in surprise.
Sheng Xin laughed. āWe accidentally broke it. Weāll compensate for the damage later. Please serve our dishes at the table next to us.ā
The waiter nodded with a smile and muttered under his breath as he walked away, āTo break a table like that, they must have practiced the Iron Palm.ā Sheng Xin sat next to Song Ling, intertwining her fingers with his. āBrother Song Ling, Iām so happy you decided to come out to eat with me after hearing I was hungry, even neglecting your companyās business for it.ā
Song Lingās fingers instinctively tried to retract, but he halted when he saw Su Ting softly warning Gu Dai about the hot food.
His gaze fixed on Gu Dai, he gritted his teeth. āThe company isnāt as important as you.ā
Sheng Xinās smile widened.
Gu Dai treated Song Ling and Sheng Xin as if they were air, suggesting to Su
Ting, āThis pastry is quite good. Try some.ā
Su Ting tasted a bit and squinted in satisfaction. āDelicious!ā
Song Ling seemed ready to shoot fire from his eyes, his grip unconsciously tightening.
Sheng Xin screamed, reflexively pulling her hand away from Song Lingās grip. Gu Dai looked over curiously.
Sheng Xin, maintaining her smile, said, āBrother Song Ling, Iām fine. Itās just that you love me so much my hand went numb. Now, I want to change positions, maybe loop my arm through yours.ā
As the waiter served the dishes, Song Ling began to pick up pastries and meat for Sheng Xin.
Sheng Xin frowned. āEating meat and pastries will make me fat. I need to maintain my figure; I usually only eat vegetables!ā
Gu Dai couldnāt help but chuckle.
Sheng Xin asked, āWhat are you laughing at?ā
After wiping her lips with a napkin, Gu Dai replied lightly, āNothing, just seems like President Song doesnāt understand Miss Sheng very well.ā
Sheng Xin, belatedly realizing Song Lingās icy gaze, hastily tried to make amends. āI usually only eat vegetables, but Brother Song Ling meant well. I canāt let him down.ā
She picked up a pastry and chewed slowly, though her complexion looked terrible.
After Su Ting put down his chopsticks, Gu Dai inquired with concern, āHave you eaten enough? Do you want some more?ā
Su Ting replied, āIām full, and a bit stuffed. Can we rest here a bit before leaving?ā
Gu Dai, catching the wink from Su Ting, understood his intent and agreed, āOkay.ā
Su Ting leaned closer to Gu Dai, whispering, āLetās see what lengths Sheng Xin will go to for Song Ling.ā
Gu Dai shook her head helplessly, āMaking someone eat food they dislike is a bit mean.ā
Su Ting responded, āThey bullied you before.ā
After a pause, he looked down and murmured, āAnd all weāre doing is watching her eat, not forcing her.ā
Seeing Su Tingās eyes redden, Gu Dai quickly agreed and apologized, āI spoke too harshly, please donāt cry.ā
Su Ting nodded, a smile curling at his lips, secretly glad for his acting skills.
Song Ling, unable to hear their conversation, only saw their laughter and harmonious interaction. His expression darkened even more, unaware that Sheng Xin was already pale from eating all the pastries he kept offering.
Song Ling and Sheng Xin acted like robots, one continuously eating, the other endlessly serving.
Gu Dai had enough. āLetās go.ā
Song Ling watched Gu Daiās departing figure and abruptly stood up.
Sheng Xin hurriedly stood up, but feeling too stuffed, fell back into her chair. āMy stomach hurts a bit, wait for me.ā freewebno(v)el.com
Ignoring Sheng Xinās plea, Song Ling strode after Gu Dai..
