Chapter 253: Third Master Is Jealous

She didn’t forget, but she was distracted by Jiang Junlin’s matter.
But she never expected that Lu Zhiyuan would call, his tone was arrogant and angry. Gu Ci coaxed him softly. Third Master was very skilled at handling Third Young Master’s temper and hung up the phone coldly.
Gu Ci looked at her phone and muttered, “This is outrageous!”
Is he addicted to acting?
It would take some time for Gu Ziyu to decrypt the chip. Gu Ci told him she was coming to the Global after buying a lot of art in Paris and having lunch with her grandparents.
“Third Young Master’s in a really bad mood today!”
“What happened?”
“He’s been looking at his phone all morning, wondering when you’d come to see him. Who would’ve thought you’d be so forgetful and neglect him. He’s quite unhappy.” Li Jiang was willing to bet that if Third Master didn’t make this call, Miss Gu Ci wouldn’t come!
Gu Ci was slightly stunned. He got really angry because she didn’t come?
Lu Zhiyuan leaned against the bookshelf, glanced at her coldly when she approached, and then lowered his head to read. He was as arrogant as ever. Gu Ci walked over with a smile, took the book from his hand, and it turned out to be a comic book, a new favorite of Third Young Master’s.
“Third brother, are you angry?” Gu Ci hugged his neck and leaned on his chest. “I bought a lot of art in Paris and sent it to my grandma’s house in the morning. I came to see you after having lunch with them.”
Lu Zhiyuan snorted coldly but didn’t say anything. Gu Ci kissed his lips, “Are you really angry?”
He still didn’t say anything, but his ears turned red quietly.
Gu Ci kissed him again, “I’m sorry.”
“Let me go, I’m a magnanimous person. I won’t argue with you!”
Gu Ci resisted her laughter. “Third brother, you’re really good!”
She glanced at the comic book next to her, “The new season of this book is out. Which couple do you like the most?”
Lu Zhiyuan was stunned. He had just grabbed it randomly and had never really read it. When Third Young Master read comic books, he found them completely uninteresting, so he never read them together.
This was a question he couldn’t answer.
“I like the main couple!”
“I like the supporting characters,” Gu Ci said with a smile as if she was ready to discuss the comic with him. Lu Zhiyuan pulled her over, covering her lips, and kissed her. Gu Ci was surprised. During this period, she had always been the one sticking to Lu Zhiyuan and actively getting closer to him.
Lu Zhiyuan rarely took the initiative to kiss her.
Gu Ci closed her eyes. His kiss was very gentle, like savoring a delicacy. He kissed her lips, teeth, and gently intertwined with her breath, slowly deepening, awkward and a bit green, but also passionate, making people feel his strong emotions.
Gu Ci’s heart raced, and she grabbed his collar. Their breaths were intertwined, and when she closed her eyes, all her senses became exceptionally sensitive. Lu Zhiyuan’s body became excited due to their intimacy, and his hands moved from her neck down to grasp her slender waist, gently caressing it.
Gu Ci was stunned.
Did he just learn a new move?
Lu Zhiyuan seemed to realize something and released her. He didn’t dare to meet Gu Ci’s gaze. How did he lose control again? Gu Ci looked at his almost blood-red ears and said, “Lu Zhiyuan, I really like you a lot.”
He looked into her eyes, which were beautiful and pure, filled with affection and sincerity toward him. Lu Zhiyuan’s heart softened and ached. He kissed her eyes.
Gu Ci asked, “Shouldn’t you say that you like me too at this moment?”
As she wished, Lu Zhiyuan responded, “I really like you too.”
“Really?”
“Really!” Lu Zhiyuan reverted to his Third Young Master persona. “Gu Ci, you’re so annoying. Don’t be so clingy.”
“I’m clingy?” Gu Ci couldn’t believe it. It was absurd. Who got upset and insisted she come, and now he accused her of being clingy. “Then I’ll leave!”
“Don’t!”
Gu Ci tried to get up, and in his haste, he pulled on his wound, causing him pain. Lu Zhiyuan’s face turned pale, and seeing this, Gu Ci felt sorry for him. She sat back down and said, “Don’t move, 1 was just joking. You took it seriously!”
Lu Zhiyuan glared at her, weakened by the pain. Gu Ci found it both amusing and exasperating. Once he recovered, Gu Ci looked at the sunlight streaming in through the window and couldn’t help but say, “In a few days, when you’re feeling better, I’ll push you outside to soak up some sun.”
Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t move, so he had to lie there. Gu Ci stayed with him, and she could sleep peacefully beside him. Gu Ci had originally planned to chat with him, but she ended up falling asleep the moment she lay down.
He gazed steadily at her peaceful slumber, wondering, “Gu Ci, do you know who 1 am? If you knew I’m Third Master, not Third Young Master, how would you react?”
He cherished every second spent with her like this, just watching over Gu Ci. She had slept for over three hours, and when she woke up, it was past four in the afternoon. The room was warm, causing her to break into a light sweat.
Upon waking up, she met Lu Zhiyuan’s gaze and instinctively smiled. “Lu Zhiyuan, you look really handsome.”
He was the most attractive man she had ever seen.
Lu Zhiyuan chuckled. “Did you sleep well?”
“Yeah!” She sat up and hugged his waist. “My big brother disappeared, and I was really worried. I didn’t sleep a wink last night.”
“How did your big brother disappear?” Lu Zhiyuan asked, feigning ignorance. “Maybe he’s on a business trip. He won’t die so easily.”
Gu Ci knew that “won’t die so easily” was his way of reassuring her, but with Jiang Junlin gone, there could be some butterfly effects, and a simple “won’t die” might not solve her problems.
“Yeah, I’ve sent people to look for him. I hope we can find him.” Gu Ci said, “Ziyu checked the surveillance at my brother’s house, and someone tampered with it and used a fake footage.”
Lu Zhiyuan was well aware that it was Ji Chi’s doing.
To be honest, he didn’t want to get involved in this feud between Ji Chi and Jiang Junlin. Ji Chi wouldn’t harm Jiang Junlin. Their imprisonment seemed like a game, and Rong Li even joked about it like a game of roleplay. Lu Zhiyuan had no intention of meddling.
Besides, with Jiang Junlin imprisoned, Black Hawk had fewer troubles to deal with.
“Calm down, Jiang Junlin has survived several assassination attempts, and he won’t die easily, as the saying goes,” Lu Zhiyuan said.
“Why don’t you like my brother?” Gu Ci asked.
“Your brother doesn’t like me either,” Lu Zhiyuan replied. “He has a bias against me.”
Their first meeting had been far from pleasant, and it was ancient history that Lu Zhiyuan didn’t want to bring up. His grievances with Jiang Junlin had been going on for a while.
Little did Gu Ci know that Lu Zhiyuan was actually her brother’s enemy.
“What have you done to earn such a bias from my brother?” Gu Ci asked. “My brother rarely cares about outsiders, and he thinks it’s a waste of time to like or dislike someone he doesn’t know.”
“If you hate someone, there must be a reason for it,” Lu Zhiyuan replied, slipping into his Third Young Master persona and playfully lifting her chin. “Lying on my bed and talking about other men, what kind of behaviour is this?”
Gu Ci didn’t know how to reply..
