Chapter 133: Sadomasochistic Love, or Simp
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
He is confident and calm, certain about everything in the world except for this emotion, which has become the most secret desert rose in his heart from beginning to end.
She was a rose blooming in his barren desert.
He was undeserving of love and affection.
He was a person who could not even control his own body, so how could he possess someone’s love?
“What’s wrong?” Gu Ci sensed his fluctuating mood.
Lu Zhiyuan pressed against her nose. “Do you really like me that much?”
“I do!”
“But why don’t you ever ask if 1 like you or not?”
Gu Ci smiled lightly. “Why should I ask?”
“Why don’t you ask?”
They were like tongue twisters.
Gu Ci’s eyes were shimmering with a watery glow, like frost on late spring flowers, beautiful yet fragile. “Your eyes are saying, ‘1 like Gu Ci, so I don’t need you to tell me.”‘
Lu Zhiyuan suddenly embraced her, his voice hoarse. “Cici, wait for me, just a little longer…”
The two of them remained in the hospital, forgetting about time. With his statement of “wait for me” left hanging, Third Master took over, and Gu Ci, like warm fragrant jade in his arms, looked up and saw a pair of chilly eyes that froze her smile inch by inch. However, she was reluctant to leave his embrace.
“Third Master…”
“Let go of me!” Lu Zhiyuan lowered his head and could smell the familiar fragrance lingering in his nostrils, arousing the desire in his heart.
Gu Ci released her hand. With their hearts in sync, they took a step back, creating distance between them, like the most familiar strangers.
“You shouldn’t have brought him to the shareholders’ meeting.” Lu Zhiyuan’s voice was cold. “I have my own plans.”
“Third Master, you’re being unreasonable.” Gu Ci chuckled. “Since you refuse to see me, I have no idea about your plans. I can only fulfill Lu Zhiyuan’s wish and help him protect the Lu Corporation.”
Lu Zhiyuan silently stared at her, his deep peach blossom eyes devoid of any emotions, clearly full of affection. Day and night portrayed two different moods.
“What if he and 1 have differing opinions?” Lu Zhiyuan asked.
He regretted asking as soon as the words left his mouth.
But it was too late.
“I’ll help him!” Gu Ci said. “He cares about me wholeheartedly, loves and protects me. 1 will stand by his side in any conflicts he faces.”
Lu Zhiyuan’s dark eyes revealed no emotions as he turned and walked away.
Gu Ci watched his retreating figure, furrowing her brows and catching up to him. She grabbed his hand, but Lu Zhiyuan shook her off. Undeterred, Gu Ci reached out again and held on, refusing to let go. Lu Zhiyuan turned his head. “Gu Ci, let go!”
“In my heart, you and him are the same person!” Gu Ci stared at Lu Zhiyuan with determination.
Lu Zhiyuan looked back at Gu Ci intently. “Gu Ci, my heart belongs to someone else, not you!”
Gu Ci’s mind went blank. After hearing Lu Zhiyuan say that his heart belonged to someone else, she felt as if she had been scalded. She let go of his hand and stared at him, stunned, as he heartlessly walked away.
His heart belonged to someone else, not her!
But who?
Gu Ci walked in the cold wind, her complexion pale, like a wandering soul without a home, roaming in the world. Li Jiang drove past with Lu Zhiyuan beside him, whizzing by her side.
Lu Zhiyuan watched her figure grow smaller and more distant in the rearview mirror.
His gaze unfathomable. He decisively closed his eyes.
Li Jiang felt uneasy. “Third Master, Miss Gu Ci…”
“Be quiet!”
Li Jiang listened to his cold voice and dared not speak again.
“Heart belongs to someone else?” Gu Ci watched the familiar car gradually move away, and suddenly she smiled, both crazy and charming. “Third Master, then you better hide it well, don’t let me find out.”
Chen Rushi was filled with anger and felt a slight pain in his heart. His security team bound Dr. North at the hospital. Dr. North looked at Chen Rushi’s pale face with a radiant smile. “Rushi, it’s just a business deal. If you lose, you lose. Why get angry and harm your health?”
“You and Gu Ci ruined my plan!” Chen Rushi gritted his teeth. If it weren’t for them, Lu Ze would not have awakened in time. Chen Rushi pulled out the gun from his security guard’s hand and pressed it against Dr. North’s hand on the table. The muzzle of his gun rested on the back of her hand. “You have only one choice: either be my surgeon or never be a doctor again.”
If he pulled the trigger, Dr. North would never be able to practice surgery again, reduced to a mere academic expert.
Surgery was her life.
Ji Chi crossed his arms and leaned against the door, his voice filled with a smile. “Dr. North, a wise person knows the times. Why be stubborn? Your hand is more important than your life.”
Dr. North looked at Chen Rushi’s resolute expression and compromised. “I’ll examine you.”
“Thank you!” Just a moment ago, he wanted to kill her, and now he was polite and courteous. Dr. North frowned. This person was more difficult to deal with than her father.
Ji Chi’s phone rang, and he glanced at the incoming call. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Master Chen, 1 have something to take care of.”
“Go ahead!”
After Ji Chi left, Chen Rushi said, “As long as I’m alive, you will live. If I die, you won’t survive either!”
Dr. North chuckled lightly. “Dying together isn’t a bad idea.”
“No, you won’t!” Chen Rushi’s smile was confident. “I raised you with my own hands, so 1 know you very well. You hate my father so much, why did you still engage with him instead of directly killing him? It’s because you have concerns. 1 guess… your sister is still alive.”
Dr. North lowered her gaze. Chen Rushi was smarter than she had imagined.
The goal of controlling the Lu Corporation by Black Hawk failed, disrupting Lu Zhiyuan’s plans. He originally intended for Black Hawk to control the Lu Corporation, counting it as Ji Chi’s achievement and allowing him to establish a firm foothold in the Asian division. It would also lull Chen Rushi, making him reveal his cards as soon as possible.
With this plan’s failure, Lu Zhiyuan and Ji Chi had to find another way.
Li Jiang understood Third Master’s distress. He could only appear in the darkness of night. If this secret was exposed, it would be a time bomb within Black Hawk. Chen Rushi was ambitious, and if he learned this secret after Third Master lost consciousness when he was still the Third Young Master, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although Third Young Master was a globally renowned athlete with exceptional skills, he was not on the same level as Third Master. They either prospered or suffered together. Therefore, Third Master hid in the shadows, many things inconvenient for him. His control over Black Hawk was originally an airdrop. The internal forces in Black Hawk were complex, and Chen Rushi had a 50% chance of seizing power.
Downstairs, the sound of a violin could be heard.
Regardless of how late it was, Gu Ci played the violin every night without fail.
Li Jiang cautiously glanced at Third Master and Lu Zhiyuan closed his computer. “Go rest!”
“Yes!”
Li Jiang silently thought to himself. He reminded Third Master to rest twice, but Third Master remained indifferent. It seemed that Miss Gu Ci was more effective. But as for Third Master and Miss Gu Ci… Li Jiang shook his head. It wasn’t his business.
Third Master wanted a tortured love, Third Young Master wanted to be a lapdog. It had nothing to do with him!
While listening to the familiar sound of the violin, Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t fall asleep. He thought of Gu Ci’s stubborn gaze and rubbed his temples, sighing with helplessness.. “Why have you become so obstinate!”
