Shocking! She Returned with a Miniature Bigshot - Chapter 229
Chapter 229: Isn’t It Because Third Young Master Likes to Smile?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Li Jiang gathered his courage, “Third Young Master has an outgoing personality, gets jealous in front of Miss Gu Ci, is possessive, and quite domineering. He enjoys teasing Miss Gu Ci, and when they are in love, onlookers see them as a sweet and affectionate couple. Third Master, are you in love…? No one in love smiles foolishly every day. You should be more natural, more intimate.”
Lu Zhiyuan was speechless.
He also spoke sweet words; those were all Third Young Master’s heartfelt thoughts. He let Gu Ci hug and kiss him, and he responded to her. Wasn’t that intimate enough? Why is there a need for more intimacy?
He smiled. Wasn’t it because Third Young Master loved to smile?
“How about… I write you a script to tell you how Third Young Master would act?” Li Jiang earnestly suggested.
“Li Jiang!” Lu Zhiyuan called his name lightly. “Shut up!”
“Yes!” Li Jiang didn’t dare to be impudent again. He quickly wiped him down and changed him into clean clothes. Lu Zhiyuan always felt fresher after that. Li Jiang seemed like he wanted to say something but hesitated, ultimately not daring to babble any further.
Third Master, 1 hope my words can help you open up Third Young Master’s character correctly, be bolder, don’t be so innocent!!
Third Young Master and Miss Gu Ci were obviously adults in love.
Third Master and Miss Gu Ci were like high school students in love.
As a guard, Li Jiang was troubled!
Gu Ci bought a health pot to cook porridge for Lu Zhiyuan. She also bought some bird’s nest and sea cucumber to nourish his blood and qi. When she returned with the bird’s nest, Lu Zhiyuan was leaning on the bed, lost in thought, as if contemplating some major life event.
“What are you thinking?” Gu Ci asked.
Lu Zhiyuan snapped out of it, looking at Gu Ci. Li Jiang said he was playing the role of Third Young Master, but did Gu Ci doubt it? However, Gu Ci’s eyes were tender, as if cradling a precious treasure, too heavy to risk dropping, yet too light to hold securely. He couldn’t discern Gu Ci’s emotions; she always kept them hidden, a kind of inherent restraint.
The bird’s nest was still piping hot. Gu Ci placed it on the sideboard to cool a bit. She teasingly asked, “Are you saying that you got injured, and Li Jiang took such meticulous care of you?”
“1… have never been this seriously injured before.” Lu Zhiyuan smiled slightly, perhaps influenced by Li Jiang’s words, he appeared more languid, with his disheveled hair partially covering his eyes. “This is the first time!”
He took Gu Ci’s hand and placed it in his palm. Gu Ci asked, “Were you scared during the car accident?”
Lu Zhiyuan shook his head. He wasn’t scared, and neither was Third Young Master.
“You’d better be scared!” Gu Ci’s tone carried a hint of fierceness.
Lu Zhiyuan looked at her, confused.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Ci smiled gently again. “One should fear death to stay away from it.”
“I’m not afraid, just regretful!” Lu Zhiyuan recalled Third Young Master’s words. “Regretful that I couldn’t keep my promise to take you home.”
Gu Ci held him, and Lu Zhiyuan gently stroked her back, gradually getting into the role of Third Young Master. “Gu Ci, do you really like me?”
“Yes!” Gu Ci nodded in his embrace. “1 do!”
“Who was it that once said they were so beautiful and charming that they wouldn’t have trouble finding suitors, and if one couldn’t catch up, they’d just switch to someone else?”
Gu Ci looked up at him, saying without any psychological burden, “I was just bragging.”
Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but chuckle as he caressed her eyes. It was love, but it was also obsession. Her obsession with a person ran deep.
“I was never likable since 1 was a child,” Gu Ci recounted her past without any sadness. “My personality wasn’t likable, my speech wasn’t likable. Apart from you, no one liked me. When I went to college, my friends were distant, and everyone preferred Gu Chuyun and Jinjin. They had cheerful, lively personalities and were good at socializing, very popular.”
Gu Ci thought about the different treatment she and Zhou Jin jin received when they posted on social media. “When Jinjin posts something, her feed is filled with likes and comments. When 1 post something, there are very few likes. But I don’t mind, as long as you like it.”
Lu Zhiyuan’s favor for her as an individual surpassed everyone else!
“Gu Ci, why do you like me?” Lu Zhiyuan asked, “Is it because in the previous life, we dated and got married, and I was your husband?”
Then which version of Lu Zhiyuan do you actually like?
“Because you’re handsome!”
Lu Zhiyuan adopted Third Young Master’s arrogance, “Oh, what if I become disfigured? Will you still like me?”
This hit a soft spot for Gu Ci, and she hugged Lu Zhiyuan, kissing his lips gently. “Even if you were disfigured, I’d still love you.”
Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but smile wryly. Gu Ci looked at the couple’s bracelet on the side. Since he entered the hospital, he hadn’t worn it; it had been placed in the cabinet, his personal item.
“Put it on!”
“I’m injured!” Lu Zhiyuan’s left hand was in a cast, wrapped up like a mummy. He had always worn this bracelet on his left hand. Gu Ci said, “Put it on your right hand.”
“Then you put it on!” His eyes held a trace of indulgence he might not even be aware of.
Gu Ci took the bracelet and put it on his right hand, finally satisfied. After the bird’s nest congee had cooled a bit, Gu Ci fed him spoonful by spoonful. After finishing it, Lu Zhiyuan looked at the dark circles under Gu Ci’s eyes and softly said, “Cici, come up and nap with me!”
“Is it okay?”
“I want to hold you while I fall sleep!”
Li Jiang was speechless.
Third Master, if it were Third Young Master, he would say, “1 want to hold you while I sleep,” not “I want to hold you while I fall sleep”!
A one-word difference can do more to reflect Third Young Master’s character than merely expressing a desire. Li Jiang was feeling quite exhausted; he wished he could compile a handbook of Third Young Master’s phrases to teach Third Master how to speak properly. To be honest, even though Third Master is playing the role of Third Young Master, he seemed to have misunderstood something. He’s really so gentle!
He neither seems like Third Master nor entirely like Third Young Master!
Gu Ci nestled into his blanket, and Lu Zhiyuan’s right hand had only a minor scrape, not too serious. Gu Ci lay in his embrace, cautiously extending one hand to hold his waist.
For Lu Zhiyuan, this was indeed a… hard-to-describe feeling.
He couldn’t refuse. Whether in words, looks, or actions, Gu Ci exuded a profound sense of insecurity, and Lu Zhiyuan could only indulge her.
If it were Third Young Master, he would surely do the same, and he’d be very caring.
“Sleep, I’ll be with you.”
Gu Ci shook her head, sniffing at his faint minty scent like an addict. She didn’t want to sleep, but she also didn’t dare to sleep. Lu Zhiyuan touched her ear as if comforting a little kitten.
“Do you like my ears so much?” Gu Ci asked with a smile.
Lu Zhiyuan seemed embarrassed as if someone had discovered a little secret. He tried to pull away, but when he thought of Third Young Master’s character, he said, “Blushing at a touch, very cute.”
Gu Ci didn’t know how to respond.
The atmosphere became strangely silent for a moment. Li Jiang stood awkwardly by the door, scratching the wall. Third Master, you really lack insight. He desperately wanted to write a handbook of Third Young Master’s phrases to teach Third Master how to speak properly.
“Well… continue touching, don’t stop!”
Lu Zhiyuan felt his palm burning, and he strategically coughed. With no place to put his hand and an attempt to lift it blocked by Gu Ci, he finally managed to discreetly move it away from her ear.
“Are you okay?” Gu Ci asked..
