Gu Ci carried an air of resolute determination, catching Pei Qiuying’s sidelong glance, which revealed an even closer view of her cold and unfeeling eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat.
This person, who appeared to be nothing more than a beautiful and highly intelligent college student, gave her a slight sense of crisis.
“Turn the ship around!”
The cruise liner glided on the surface of the sea once again, and with a calm demeanor, Gu Ci said, “Tell your people to return to the cabin.”
Following Pei Qiuying’s instructions, the bodyguards retreated to the cabin. Pei Qiuying spoke, “Gu Ci, you’re a smart person. Don’t do anything foolish. Unless you’re capable of killing everyone to silence them, you won’t dare touch me.” “Pei Qiuying, I have no interest in your affairs with the Third Master, but let me tell you, in my eyes, they are the same person,” Gu Ci said, “I won’t allow him to fall in love with someone else.”
“Don’t overestimate yourself!” Pei Qiuying sneered. In a sudden move, she kicked backward. Startled, Gu Ci was already prepared. When the kick came, she caught Pei Qiuying without hesitation, and they both fell into the sea together!
When Gu Ci woke up, her head throbbed painfully. She was in the Global Center, in Lu Zhiyuan’s bedroom. She had been here once before, and the dim lighting of the room left a deep impression.
In the moment when she pulled Pei Qiuying down into the sea, she hadn’t called out to Lu Zhiyuan. She wasn’t sure if Pei Qiuying knew about his superpowers, and she couldn’t take the risk. It was truly pitiful that even in her deepest despair, she still wanted to protect him.
Later, the seawater continued to compress the air, suffocating and uncomfortable. Then, she lost consciousness. Even if they were sinking together, she was determined to keep a lifeline for Pei Qiuying.
Afterward, she lost consciousness.
Gu Ci was wearing a white dress, and she still felt the sensation of suffocation from being in the water. She heard Lu Zhiyuan’s cold voice, “As long as she’s okay.”
Gu Ci’s heart skipped a beat. It must be Pei Qiuying. She was still alive.
She stepped out of the bedroom, and Lu Zhiyuan was in the living room, his white sweater making him seem less cold. He had just hung up the phone. Gu Ci asked coldly, “When 1 was in trouble in the sea, 1 didn’t call for you. How did you know something happened to me?”
Did Pei Qiuying call him?
Gu Ci sadly realized that this unique call for help was not unique after all. It belonged to another woman as well. She had narrowly escaped death, her face pale. Lu Zhiyuan averted his gaze. “When you’re in danger, there’s no need to call for help. 1 can sense it too.”
Gu Ci stood still, staring at him in a daze.
“Come here, drink this!”
Gu Ci approached, took the ginger soup from the table, and drank it in one gulp. The spiciness was accompanied by a hint of sweetness. It warmed her from her throat to her stomach. She put down the bowl.
“You once said you had someone you cared for. Was it Pei Qiuying?”
“I’ll have Li Jiang take you back!” Lu Zhiyuan’s tone grew distant. He stood up, but Gu Ci pressed him onto the sofa. She sat on his lap, her hands firmly on his shoulders.
Warm and fragrant, so close. His breath carried her scent, and her body was intimately pressed against his, like an unspoken temptation.
“Enough!” Lu Zhiyuan frowned, looking at her stubborn expression. His tone softened slightly, “Get off.”
“Is it true?” There was a slight redness in Gu Ci’s eyes.
Lu Zhiyuan coldly laughed, “In your heart and eyes, there’s only Lu Zhiyuan. Whom I like is none of your concern.”
She held Lu Zhiyuan’s face and kissed him passionately. In the heated kiss was a sense of despair. However, Lu Zhiyuan remained unmoved. Gu Ci bit his lip, causing him pain. As she slipped her tongue into his mouth, the pool of desire was stirred.
Li Jiang had initially wanted to report something, but seeing the situation, he silently retreated, speechless as he gazed at the sky.
Miss Gu Ci, the Third Young Master’s memory is truly a battleground.
Lu Zhiyuan held onto Gu Ci’s shoulders, pushed her away, and a bite mark remained on his lip. “Gu Ci, I’m not him. Get it straight.”
“I don’t care!” Gu Ci persisted, her voice obstinate. “You are the same person.”
“Whether a different soul resides in this body, you don’t care,” Lu Zhiyuan asked, “Do you love this body or its owner?”
A cold splash hit her, and Gu Ci looked at him sadly. “Lu Zhiyuan, are you mocking me?”
“Get off!” Lu Zhiyuan coldly refused her.
Gu Ci burst into laughter, her smile tearful. “What are you afraid of? If you don’t like me, what’s this?”
Gu Ci looked down. Sitting on Lu Zhiyuan, she noticed the changes in him. She knew them well. Even a kiss could trigger his physical response.
Lu Zhiyuan’s ears turned slightly red. Now, their senses were intertwined, and Lu Zhiyuan’s reactions would be plainly evident in his body. He couldn’t resist it.
The Third Master took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and whispered in her ear, “Gu Ci, 1’11 tell you a secret. Since last week, whatever 1 do, he knows too.” Gu Ci looked at him, puzzled. The Third Master actually chuckled, and for some reason, Gu Ci detected a hint of malice. “You were sitting on me, kissing me, and he saw it all. Tell me, when morning comes, how do you plan to explain it to him?”
Gu Ci remained speechless.
The Third Master coldly asked Lu Zhiyuan in his body, “Lu Zhiyuan, are you enjoying this?”
Since they discovered their sudden sensory connection, Lu Zhiyuan would deliberately kiss and embrace Gu Ci, letting him see and feel his desires. Now, he was enacting the same behavior, which was paying off on Lu Zhiyuan himself. It also made Lu Zhiyuan witness him kissing and embracing Gu Ci.
Gu Ci’s scalp tingled. Truly, they had turned a two-person scenario into a three-person battleground.
Just the thought of it made her feel like she was in a battleground.
“What’s the relationship between you and Pei Qiuying?” Gu Ci still sought an answer.
The Third Master conceded, asking Gu Ci, “What if she and 1 are lovers?”
Gu Ci felt her mind go blank, and a throbbing pain began. She suddenly burst into laughter, hugging Lu Zhiyuan’s neck, as delicate as a morning glory. “Lu Zhiyuan, I’ve set up a laboratory in my new home. I bought a pair of handcuffs and a lock.”
Lu Zhiyuan widened his eyes.
It was truly an unexpected sight!
Gu Ci gave a mysterious smile, pointing to her head. “I’m not quite normal up here. Don’t give me the chance.”
1’11 keep you locked up, imprison you!
Lu Zhiyuan laughed in exasperation. “You’re quite crazy!”
With a slightly reddened gaze, she truly felt deeply hurt. Lu Zhiyuan averted his eyes, unable to look into her eyes. Gu Ci held him and suddenly bit down on his neck hard!
“Gu Ci!” Lu Zhiyuan lowered his voice, but he didn’t push her away. Gu Ci bit until blood appeared, then she gave a cryptic smile, looking at the bloodstain on his neck. She lightly licked away the blood, her warm tongue touching his skin. Lu Zhiyuan lifted his head and used a slight force with the hand around her waist, pulling her close to him.
“Does it hurt, Lu Zhiyuan?” Gu Ci caressed his wound. “If I’m in pain, and you won’t have it easy either!”
Lu Zhiyuan was speechless..
