Shocking! She Returned with a Miniature Bigshot

Ji Chi wanted to harm you so badly that 1 couldn’t stop it!

Lu Zhiyuan coldly said, “Three years ago, Jiang Junlin went on a blind date with Miss Du. They coincidentally attended a concert together, and the next day, Miss Du was thrown into the river, nearly drowning. A few months ago, the pianist, Jiang Junlin’s rumored girlfriend, had her stage tampered with, resulting in a broken leg. You should be grateful that you’re my woman; otherwise…”

Even if she was his sister, Jiang Junlin put so much effort into her that she should break a leg too!

Ji Chi didn’t dare touch Gu Ci! It didn’t mean he didn’t want to!

He only remembered that, in order to support Gu Ci, Jiang Junlin made her the largest shareholder of Hualan Bank. After the meeting with Ji Chi that night, he casually mentioned something.

Third Master, Jiang Junlin is really good to Miss Gu Ci!

Lu Zhiyuan warned him, “Gu Ci is off-limits.”

Ji Chi, holding a cigar, looked a bit sinister under the lights. Lu Zhiyuan’s heart skipped a beat. “Did you hear me?”

“Third Master, don’t be so sensitive. I know my boundaries.”

When faced with Jiang Junlin, even principles would be broken, and he would swallow his pride.

Gu Ci chuckled. She had been in love recently, and it was both sweet and sour. She had grown more open-minded. Gu Ci’s little foot rubbed against Lu Zhiyuan’s leg under the table. “Lu Zhiyuan, you look so cute when you’re jealous.”

“Don’t rub against me!” Lu Zhiyuan blushed and moved away. Gu Ci moved closer, and Lu Zhiyuan evaded again. Finally, Gu Ci sat on his lap, hugged his neck, and said, “Brother will always be my family, but you… you’re the one in my heart.”

She could keep secrets for Jiang Junlin and endure hardships. She could also go through thick and thin for Lu Zhiyuan.

Lu Zhiyuan was charmed by her sweet words, and his heart became soft.

Leaning on him, Gu Ci yawned and felt drowsy.

Lu Zhiyuan saw how tired she was and knew she had pulled an all-nighter. “I’ll go back first. You get some rest!”

She grabbed onto Lu Zhiyuan. “Stay with me, I’ll sleep better with you by my side!”

Lu Zhiyuan hesitated when he looked at her expression but eventually nodded. “Alright.”

Gu Ci found a loose-fitting pajama set for Lu Zhiyuan.

“How do you have pajamas in my size?” he asked.

“I’ve been waiting for you. You could stay at my place overnight anytime,” she replied.

Lu Zhiyuan blushed once again and went to change his clothes. Gu Ci’s phone rang, and it was Dr. North calling. “Cici, I’ve almost pinpointed Ji Chi’s location. Do you want to rescue him?”

Gu Ci arranged for two teams to go for the rescue operation. It was at Ji Chi’s old residence, a place Ji Chi had used as a decoy, not where Jiang Junlin was actually being held.

“How did you suddenly get a location?”

Dr. North explained, “The master has had a hidden tracker on him all along, a specially designed one. It hasn’t had a signal for these past few days, but there was a brief signal just now.”

“Send me the location, but don’t make any moves yet. Let me think about it,” Gu Ci said.

“Alright.”

Gu Ci contemplated the situation. If she ordered a rescue and pushed Ji Chi too hard, what would he do? Ji Chi’s actions were unpredictable, and Gu Ci didn’t dare to take the risk. With Jiang Junlin in his custody, he was cautious to keep things peaceful, and Ji Chi wouldn’t harm his own brother at least.

If a rescue wasn’t an option, then she could create some trouble for Ji Chi, force him to leave.

Gu Ci sent two commands on her phone, and as she exited, she saw Lu Zhiyuan outside the door.

“Cici?”

“I’m here!” Gu Ci put her phone away and smiled.

Lu Zhiyuan was like a reliable anchor to Gu Ci. With him beside her, she felt more at ease, and she could sleep better. She dozed off immediately, completely relaxed, while Lu Zhiyuan, on the other hand, didn’t feel a bit tired. He watched her sleeping peacefully.

Gu Ci had already guessed that Ji Chi had imprisoned Jiang Junlin.

Why, during this time, hadn’t she taken any action or asked him for help? As she said, she loved Jiang Junlin very much and would definitely come to him if she suspected Jiang Junlin was in Ji Chi’s hands!

But she hadn’t.

Why?

Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t fathom her thoughts. She didn’t seem anxious or worried, and for the past month, she had been busy with her studies, hardly paying any attention to him. Was her focus diverted elsewhere?

Gu Ci slept soundly and instinctively sought warmth. She liked hugging his waist whenever they slept together. This was a very affectionate and dependent posture for her.

Lu Zhiyuan wasn’t a man with strong protective instincts, but her habitual actions stirred up a protective urge in him. He couldn’t help but recall the scene from several months ago when he had forcibly held her in the lake to sober her up.

How had he managed that?

Lu Zhiyuan’s hand was originally resting on her waist, and they were embracing each other like conjoined twins. Gu Ci, half-awake, looked up at him and affectionately kissed his chest. “Hubby, stop it, I’m so tired…”

Lu Zhiyuan blushed even more, and she must have been dreaming to say such a thing..
