Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Ci had suffered a moderate concussion, and there were blood clots in her brain. She was prescribed medication to improve blood circulation and dissolve the blood clots. Her headache symptoms had subsided, but she still felt nauseous. Lu Zhiyuan asked, “Will there be any long-term effects on her brain?”

“She needs to be hospitalized for observation.” The doctor remained cautious.

After undergoing a series of examinations and completing the hospitalization procedures, Gu Ci lay in bed. The dizziness had lessened slightly. Lu Zhiyuan was about to leave when Gu Ci grabbed his hand. “Don't go.”

She couldn't endure being beaten for no reason.

Lu Zhiyuan's heart softened as he looked into her eyes. He sat beside her and held her hand. “Don't be afraid. I won't leave.”

“It hurts…” Gu Ci's eyes turned red. She had never sounded so aggrieved and coquettish before.

Lu Zhiyuan's resolve wavered as he asked, “Where does it hurt?”

“My stomach hurts. I need you to rub it.”

Lu Zhiyuan placed his hand on her lower abdomen, where a large bruise was forming. He gently massaged the area. The softness and delicacy of her abdomen beneath his palm unsettled him.

However, Gu Ci found comfort in his touch. His hand was warm.

“I can't sleep. I want a hug.” Gu Ci's drowsy voice pleaded. She reached out her hand, her instincts guiding her to act coquettishly.

Lu Zhiyuan had never seen Gu Ci like this before. His heart softened as he saw her delicate and gentle side, reminiscent of the little girl he used to hold. He climbed onto the bed and embraced her in his arms.

“I'll stay with you. Be good.” He gently comforted her, and Gu Ci slowly drifted off to sleep.

By chance, when he woke up, it was the moment Third Master was awakening and preparing to leave the bed.

Gu Ci, still in a daze, playfully hooked her fingers onto his hand and even purposely scratched his palm. Her voice sounded sweet. “Where are you going?”

Lu Zhiyuan's voice turned cold and low. “Proud and pitiful, it won't work on me.”

Gu Ci's body stiffened, and her toes curled up awkwardly. Instinctively, she let go. Lu Zhiyuan tidied his clothes and gazed down at her with a deep and enigmatic gaze. “Is it worth it?”

He saw through her at a glance.

“I'm willing to endure it.” Gu Ci lay buried in the white sheets, her face as pale as the bed.

Lu Zhiyuan's gaze became obscure. Just as he was about to leave, Gu Ci said, “Lu Zhiyuan, I'm hungry.”

“What do you mean?”

“I'm literally hungry.” Gu Ci said, “I want to eat wontons.”

Lu Zhiyuan flicked his sleeves and left. Gu Ci didn't know if it was due to her injury, but she felt a slight soreness. She took a deep breath and picked up an orange to eat. Then, she called Gu Ziyu.

She didn't want Ziyu to worry, so she made up an excuse. Seeing that she was at the hospital, Gu Ziyu assumed she was visiting the old lady and didn't think too much of it.

Just as she was about to ask Zhou Jinjin to prepare a bowl of wontons, Lu Zhiyuan returned with a takeaway box containing hot wontons and buns. Gu Ci was stunned. It had only been five minutes.

Ordinary people wouldn't have even made it out of the hospital in that time.

Lu Zhiyuan placed the wontons down and left without a word. Gu Ci reached out to touch them. They had just been taken out of the pot and were steaming hot.

“I want to eat fresh French steak. Can he bring that too?” Gu Ci muttered to herself.

She forced herself to ignore Lu Zhiyuan's cold demeanor. After eating the wontons, her stomach felt better, but she still felt a little dizzy. Gu Ci suspected that the blood in her brain hadn't completely dissipated. If her injury turned out to be self-inflicted, she would be the biggest fool in the world.

When Lu Zhiyuan left the hospital, Li Jiang was waiting for him. Gu Wenliang happened to come out of the hospital as well. Gu Yaozu had undergone surgery for three broken ribs. When he saw Lu Zhiyuan, he flew into a rage. “Lu Zhiyuan, wait for the court summons. I will definitely sue you!”

Lu Zhiyuan coldly regarded him. He took out a check and filled in the amount. As a responsible person, he would clean up the mess when Third Young Master caused trouble. “For his medical expenses.”

Gu Wenliang's eyes turned red as he tore up the check “Lu Zhiyuan, are you mocking me?”

Lu Zhiyuan glared at him coldly, then got into the car and closed the window, shutting out Gu Wenliang's curses. Li Jiang drove away and reported on Gu Yaozu's condition. Li Jiang said, “Third Master, you shouldn't blame Third Young Master. Who knew Gu Yaozu would be so good-looking but so useless? His bones are so brittle.”

After a moment of silence, Li Jiang asked, “Third Master, is Miss Gu Ci okay?”

“Stay quiet.”

Li Jiang replied, “Yes, understood!”

He could subtly sense that Third Master's emotions were a bit off, but Third Master was enduring and restraining himself. Even if he revealed a hint of emotion, it was difficult for outsiders to notice. Li Jiang's head throbbed with pain, and he didn't dare utter another word.

When Lu Zhiyuan returned to the Global Center, Chen Fei had just finished training with Gu Ziyu.

Gu Ziyu greeted him.

Lu Zhiyuan nodded, and Li Jiang broke out in a cold sweat. Third Master, say something. Little Master is sensitive and astute. Is it really okay for you to say nothing? In the elevator, the three adults and one child remained silent.

Chen Fei and Li Jiang got off the elevator first, both heaving sighs of relief.

In the elevator, only Gu Ziyu and Lu Zhiyuan were left. In the mirror, the two of them had nearly identical expressions and auras. Gu Ziyu asked, “Why are you ignoring me?”

Lu Zhiyuan responded casually, “Why should I bother with you?”

Gu Ziyu gritted his teeth. “If you have the ability, don't eat the breakfast I prepared.”

As the kid exited the elevator, he didn't even look back. Though young, he exuded a cool demeanor. Lu Zhiyuan's peach blossom eyes remained calm. When Gu Ziyu arrived home, he soaked himself in the bathtub, stretching his body. He then complained to Gu Ci, “Dad didn't say a word to me in the elevator. He really hates me and doesn't like me at all.”

Gu Ci was speechless.

How could she explain to Gu Ziyu that Lu Zhiyuan… Perhaps he would remain indifferent even if both mother and son died in front of him.

Gu Ziyu woke up early. His mother wasn't at home, and he wasn't a delicate boy. He had some milk and bread. As for Lu Zhiyuan, Gu Ziyu thought coldly, who cares about him.

When he went downstairs, he encountered Lu Zhiyuan once again in the elevator. Gu Ziyu put on a haughty and cold expression.

Lu Zhiyuan ruffled his messy hair. “Little one, you won't grow tall if you sleep late and wake up early. Be careful else you'd be short.”

Gu Ziyu swatted his hand away and placed his hands on his hips.

“When have I ever ignored you?” Lu Zhiyuan suddenly realized how cute the boy looked when he was angry. He pinched his cheek. “You sticking to Gu Ci all the time is really annoying.”

Gu Ziyu's face darkened. “You're the annoying one!”

“We were born to be enemies and to hate each other.”

Gu Ziyu fell silent. He took a deep breath and smiled sinisterly. “The world works in mysterious ways, Brother.”

Aside from Gu Ci, Lu Zhiyuan enjoyed teasing Gu Ziyu the most. He found it entertaining to see the little one get angry. “Little one, when Gu Ci and I have a child in the future, she won't dote on you anymore.”

Gu Ziyu's eyes instantly reddened as he fiercely glared at him. These words pierced Gu Ziyu's heart like a knife. The elevator doors opened, and Gu Ziyu angrily pushed Lu Zhiyuan. “I hate you!”

He ran out of the elevator, wiping away his tears as he went. Chen Fei chased after him..
