Gu Ci snapped back to reality and shook her head, saying, “Their situation has nothing to do with me.”
“Speaking of which, Gu Chuyun has been acting strange lately.”
“What’s wrong with her?”
“I heard from the socialites’ circle that her close girlfriends have distanced themselves from her. She wasn’t invited to the recent social events, but she went anyway. She was mocked and ridiculed. They poured drinks on her, and she drank them all. They even deliberately pushed her into the pool. If it were a year ago, she would have exploded, but she endured it all. She climbed out of the pool, still smiling and apologizing, saying she accidentally fell in.”
Gu Ci chuckled. “Gu Chuyun tends to get carried away when things are going well for her, but she can also endure hardships. She’ll find an opportunity to make a comeback.”
“What can she do to make a comeback? Gu Group has gone bankrupt and is heavily in debt,” Zhou Jinjin said. “Her brother is a useless person. Tsk, unless she has a script for rebirth, she’s just holding a lousy hand.”
Gu Ci remained silent.
“I’m going to shoot an advertisement now. Baby, have fun. Wear something revealing on the beach. How else will you seduce my husband?”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ziyu emerged from underwater. Gu Ziyu was especially happy, waving his arms and legs. “Mom, the underwater scenery is beautiful, with lots of coral and pretty fish.”
Gu Ci took a towel and dried his hair while Lu Zhiyuan sensitively heard Gu Ziyu call her “mom” and turned to look at them. It was a scene of motherly love and filial piety.
Li Jiang also heard it. Mom?
Why did the young master call her mom?
In this diving area, seeing coral was quite rare. The photos were beautiful, with two divers protecting him. Gu Ziyu chased after a group of fish, creating a beautiful image.
Lu Zhiyuan exuded a sense of strength as he stretched his body underwater, following Gu Ziyu calmly and unhurriedly. They took many pictures together. Lu Zhiyuan stood on the deck, shirtless, revealing his strong and well-proportioned upper body. He wore shorts on the lower half, and under the bright sunlight, his youthful body appeared fit and sexy.
Gu Ci’s attention was originally focused on Gu Ziyu, but she was attracted by the sight of Lu Zhiyuan without his shirt. It was a body she had been close to many times before, and each time it made her feel dry-mouthed.
“Mom, isn’t that the cola for me to drink?”
Gu Ziyu looked at Gu Ci in confusion. Gu Ci, who was infatuatedly staring at Lu Zhiyuan on the deck, drank the beverage in her hand intended for him.
Gu Ci’s face instantly turned red. She was unconsciously relieving her dry mouth and tongue by indulging in her desires. It was too embarrassing. She pretended to be calm. “I’m was thirsty. Why don’t you get another bottle?” “Oh…” Gu Ziyu opened another bottle of drink and looked at Lu Zhiyuan, then at Gu Ci, suddenly realizing the situation. He looked very helpless, and Gu Ci was even more embarrassed under her son’s gaze.
Li Jiang held back his laughter. He was a mature captain of the guard and would not speak unless necessary. Watching the scene unfold was entertaining enough. Miss Gu Ci couldn’t resist the allure of Third Young Master’s charm.
Lu Zhiyuan casually wiped his body and walked towards Gu Ci, like a hormone-dispensing machine in motion, relying on his good looks to be aggressive, and oblivious to it.
Gu Ci blushed and said, “Put on your clothes.”
“You’re blushing!” Lu Zhiyuan smirked. If it weren’t for Gu Ziyu being present, he would definitely tease Gu Ci. With Gu Ziyu around, it affected his behavior, and he didn’t want to do anything inappropriate in front of the little milk bun. Gu Ziyu sneered, “Brother, you’re showing off.”
“Not every male can be like a peacock.” Lu Zhiyuan knew he was handsome and had a good physique. He took the T-shirt handed to him by Li Jiang. “Gu Ci wouldn’t blush if it were you who took your clothes off.”
Gu Ci grabbed an orange and threw it at him. “Shut up!”
Lu Zhiyuan laughed as he caught the orange, peeled it open, and leisurely ate it. The whole family basked in the sun, played in the sea, and had lunch on the boat. The chef’s cooking skills were good, and they had fresh seafood. While the chef was cooking, Gu Ziyu wanted to go fishing but didn’t know how.
Lu Zhiyuan taught Gu Ziyu how to fish.
Gu Ziyu caught a large yellowtail fish, estimated to weigh about four to five kilograms. Li Jiang couldn’t help but cheer sincerely, “Well done, my young master.”
Yellowtail fish had been overfished, so the chances of eating wild yellowtail were extremely low. Lu Zhiyuan was also surprised. The last time his nutritionist brought two three-kilogram yellowtail fish for the athletes. Each one cost nearly six thousand.
Li Jiang weighed the large yellowtail fish, which weighed five and a half kilograms. He exclaimed, “This fish if sold to fishmongers at the port, would start at least at thirty thousand.”
Gu Ci also came over and looked at the large yellowtail fish Gu Ziyu caught. It had excellent quality. Gu Ci said, “Wild yellowtail fish are almost endangered. A five-kilogram yellowtail fish must have lived for at least nine years.”
No wonder the price of yellowtail fish was exorbitant. Earlier this year, a fisherman went out to sea and caught a four-kilogram yellowtail fish, which sold for fifty thousand. The government had already banned fishing for yellowtail fish, but with huge profits, many fishermen continued to go out to sea for fishing.
“Big sister, let’s release it.” Gu Ziyu’s desire for food was not strong, and he could sense Gu Ci’s intention from her words. If she was suggesting to release it, it meant it was a rare fish species. In front of Gu Ci, he always showed his well-behaved and gentle side.
“Steamed yellowtail fish is especially tender,” Lu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow. “A rare delicacy on the dining table.”
“The fish caught by our baby Ziyu, let Ziyu decide.” Gu Ci ruffled his hair.
“I want to release it.” After feeding a bit of bait to the fish, Gu Ziyu released the large yellowtail fish.
“What a pity, wild yellowtail fish is so delicious,” Li Jiang said with a pained expression. The probability of catching one was even smaller than stepping on a diamond. It was obvious that the little milk bun was a fishing expert. In no time, he caught a cod.
Gu Ci applauded. “Baby, you’re so talented. The fish all love you, biting your bait desperately.”
Lu Zhiyuan looked at Gu Ci’s joyful expression, then looked at his empty fishing basket and fell into contemplation. Why were they fishing together, but Gu Ziyu caught yellowtail fish and cod while he caught nothing?
“Exaggeration!”
Gu Ci chuckled. “That’s a typical case of the student surpassing the master.”
Lu Zhiyuan felt that Gu Ziyu was playing dumb and being cunning. “Little milk bun, do you know how to fish in the open seas?”
Gu Ziyu shook his head. In his previous life, going out to sea always involved bloodshed. There was no mood for fishing, and no elders taught him. It was his first time fishing with his father.
“First time fishing.”
“You seem quite skilled.”
Gu Ziyu blinked innocently. “I’m smart and quick to learn. Brother taught me well. I’m giving this fish as a gift to my brother.”
Lu Zhiyuan turned to Gu Ci and asked, “Is he mocking me?”
Gu Ci’s expression was subtle. “Lu Zhiyuan, don’t be too sensitive. Ziyu is very pure.”
Lu Zhiyuan sputtered.
The filter is so thick; this little milk bun is clearly both mischievous and cunning.
Five minutes later, he caught another cod.
“It’s really strange..”
