I Regained My Memories and Became Rich After Getting Divorced - Chapter 647: Who is Gu Dai

Chapter 647: Who is Gu Dai

Song Ling was surprised to see Wang Lan and Song Yu at his villa.

Wang Lan placed the lunchbox gently on Song Ling’s desk and, looking concerned, said, “I went to the company today and heard from the staff that you’ve been working from home these past few days. Is something wrong with your health?”

Song Ling pulled his gaze away from the room where Gu Dai was and lightly answered, “It’s nothing.”

Seeing that he was truly fine, Song Yu’s worry eased, and she smiled, “Since you’re okay, Mom and I can relax.”

Wang Lan nodded in agreement.

Song Ling then said, “Now that you’ve confirmed I’m fine, you should go home.”

Wang Lan and Song Yu were taken aback.

Song Yu quickly recovered and teased, “Brother, if I didn’t know you only have eyes for Gu Dai, I might think you’re hiding a woman at home based on how you’re acting right now.”

At Song Yu’s remark, Song Ling’s expression grew slightly uncomfortable before it turned cold.

Noticing Song Ling’s icy demeanor, Wang Lan quickly pulled Song Yu behind her and said to Song Ling, “Don’t take what my daughter says too seriously.”

Song Yu also realized she had inadvertently mentioned “Gu Dai” and turned pale. She lowered her head and stammered, “I’m sorry, Brother. Don’t be angry. Mom and I will leave now.”

Wang Lan sighed and turned to leave but stopped at the door and looked back at Song Ling. “I shouldn’t have treated Gu Dai that way. Sheng Xin has already declined, and I won’t interfere in your relationship matters anymore.”

Song Ling nodded perfunctorily. Gu Dai had a fixed sleep schedule, and it was almost her nap time, so he wanted Wang Lan and Song Yu to leave quickly to avoid them meeting her.

Wang Lan and Song Yu exchanged glances, sensing something was amiss, and hesitated to leave, their eyes probing the interior of the villa.

Song Ling urged, “Please leave quickly.”

Startled, Wang Lan and Song Yu suppressed their curiosity, but as they were about to leave, the sound of a door opening made them turn instinctively. They were stunned when they saw a woman stepping out.

Song Yu was the first to recover and asked in shock, “Gu Dai, what are you doing here?”

Wang Lan followed with a question, “Are you here to discuss a partnership with Song Ling?”

Gu Dai looked at the unfamiliar faces and asked in confusion, “Who are you?”

After a brief pause, she added, “And I’m called Song Chu. I don’t know who this Gu Dai is.”

Wang Lan and Song Yu were stunned. Noticing the bewilderment in Gu Dai’s eyes, they quickly moved towards her, asking, “Gu Dai, what’s wrong? You…”

Song Ling stepped in front of Wang Lan and Song Yu, blocking their way with a cold glare. “Stop.”

Wang Lan and Song Yu were reluctant to heed Song Ling, but his chilling gaze made them freeze in place.

Song Ling said coldly, “You should leave now.”

As the villa door closed behind Wang Lan and Song Yu, their figures disappeared. Song Ling didn’t feel any relief; instead, his anxiety deepened.

Avoiding Gu Dai’s gaze, Song Ling said, “I’ve had the servants prepare afternoon tea.”

He turned to leave, but Gu Dai called out, “Am I really called Song Chu?”

Song Ling hesitated, then calmly answered, “Of course.”

Gu Dai stared intently at Song Ling. “Then why did they call me Gu Dai, and… why aren’t you looking at me while you answer?”

Song Ling immediately looked up. “I’m not avoiding your gaze.”

Gu Dai lowered her eyes to hide her doubts. “Gu Dai…”

Song Ling cut her off firmly. “I don’t know who Gu Dai is. They must have mistaken you for someone else because your name is indeed Song Chu.”

Gu Dai’s doubts wavered. “Really?”

Song Ling grasped Gu Dai’s shoulders tightly and nodded eagerly. “It’s absolutely true.”

Feeling the touch on her shoulders, Gu Dai instinctively took a step back to avoid contact with Song Ling.

A dark glint flashed in Song Ling’s eyes.

Gu Dai said, “But it doesn’t feel true.”

Song Ling’s voice grew agitated. “How can it not be true…”

Before he could finish, Gu Dai interrupted with a cold tone, “I think you’re imprisoning me. We’re not a couple.”

Song Ling protested, “We are a couple!”

Gu Dai immediately asked, “Then why do you keep me from going out?”

Song Ling was taken aback, his eyes flickering.

Gu Dai added, “You’re actually imprisoning me, aren’t you?”
