Shocking! She Returned with a Miniature Bigshot

Chapter 230: Extremely Ambiguous

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“No problem!” Lu Zhiyuan took a deep breath, suppressing the pain caused by breathing. His bones were fractured, and with the wound from the knife, even a slight cough brought excruciating pain.

Gu Ci helped him up and poured a bit of water for him. Lu Zhiyuan wasn’t particularly fond of soups and liquids, especially now that he couldn’t move much. He was too proud to accept this intimate side of himself being exposed to others. However, Gu Ci always liked to feed him various soups and fruits.

After taking a sip of water, Gu Ci lay back down but couldn’t fall asleep. She played with the buttons on his pajamas. Lu Zhiyuan felt that acting was too exhausting; maybe he should strategically take a nap.

But he couldn’t fall asleep either!

Sleeping too much during the night left him quite energetic during the day. Why was he so full of energy when he had nearly ten fractured bones in his body? He closed his eyes, pretending to sleep, trying to escape from the act.

However, with his eyes closed, his senses became even more acute. He was naturally more sensitive than others. He felt Gu Ci’s hand undoing his buttons and slipping into his pajamas, her fingers drawing circles on his lower abdomen.

Lu Zhiyuan was speechless.

As a person who couldn’t take care of himself due to his injuries, even taking a deep breath caused severe chest and abdominal pain. And now, Gu Ci was teasing him with such desire? This situation was getting quite awkward.

He pretended to be asleep, but how could he naturally wake up without any signs of acting?

Should he continue to play dead and let her touch him?

What if Gu Ci’s actions became too inappropriate…

Just as he was thinking this, Gu Ci’s hand moved downward, and Lu Zhiyuan began a tactical cough, his chest aching. Gu Ci touched him through his clothes for a moment, and when she heard him cough, she let go.

“You’re coughing again. Are you getting a cold?” Gu Ci asked with concern. “With your serious injuries, your immune system isn’t strong. You shouldn’t catch a cold.”

Lu Zhiyuan blushed, and his ears turned red. He wasn’t sure if it was because of the cough or some other reason, but he turned red all over. His eyes betrayed a hint of…undeniable desire.

Even Third Master, who usually remained calm, had the body of a twenty-year-old full of youthful energy. Lying in the same bed with a woman, especially one he loved, was a torment.

What was wrong with him, inviting Gu Ci to take a nap together!

Third Young Master and Gu Ci had gone from ambiguity to love, and Third Master had witnessed the entire journey. He was a bit peculiar, liking to kiss Gu Ci, and his athlete’s body couldn’t withstand any intimate actions. Even taking a nap, he could dream of Gu Ci, needing training to release his energy.

The one with intense desire was Third Young Master, not Gu Ci.

Why was she provoking him when he was half-disabled?

“How can 1 sleep when you’re doing this?” His voice was a bit husky.

“Don’t you like it?” Gu Ci looked at him bewildered. “1 thought you… would like it since you reacted.”

Lu Zhiyuan didn’t know how to respond.

Third Young Master would indeed like it! Moreover, he had injuries to his bones and lungs, so having a reaction was normal.

How could he act this out?

After a moment of silence, Lu Zhiyuan said firmly, “Cici, these things should be initiated by men. When I’m fully recovered, you better not regret it!”

“Okay!” Gu Ci didn’t regret it at all; in fact, she was looking forward to it. “Then get better soon!”

Lu Zhiyuan was speechless.

Li Jiang, in another room, scratched his head awkwardly. He didn’t know what had happened, but he could imagine it from their conversation.

He was assisting Third Master!

He really felt sorry for him. Speaking such embarrassing lines with a straight face!

The two of them remained in this ambiguous state for hours. Gu Ci still couldn’t fall asleep, but at least she stayed proper in his arms, talking about their childhood memories.

For Third Master, this was too simple.

Because he had memories too!

But she just couldn’t sleep. Besides the night when the surgery was successful, Gu Ci hadn’t slept well since.

“Cici, go to sleep!”

“I can’t sleep!” Gu Ci looked at him with bloodshot eyes. “1 want to sleep, but I can’t.”

“Why can’t you sleep?”

“Every time 1 close my eyes…” You die! Gu Ci suppressed her fear. “I always imagine you getting into accidents.”

Typical signs of stress syndrome.

“Should 1 ask a doctor to prescribe some sleeping pills for you?” Lu Zhiyuan whispered, trying to comfort her. “Just one pill.”

“I don’t want to!”

“Gu Ci, if you keep going like this, 1’11 be angry!” Lu Zhiyuan’s tone was displeased. “It’s been so long since you had a good night’s sleep. If you continue like this, your body won’t hold up.”

“I’ll take the medicine, so don’t be angry!” She nervously grabbed his hand, looking a bit pitiful.

Lu Zhiyuan held her and whispered in her ear, “Cici, it will get better. Don’t be afraid. Everything… will be as you wish.”

“Really?”

“Really!” Lu Zhiyuan said firmly. “I swear, I will make sure everything goes as you wish.”

Gu Ci choked up a bit. “Okay!”

Li Jiang went to find a doctor who prescribed sleeping pills. Gu Ci, under Lu Zhiyuan’s watchful eye, swallowed two pills obediently and lay down beside him. After taking the pills, Gu Ci kept looking at him, and Lu Zhiyuan resolutely avoided her gaze.

The wounds from Gu Ci’s past life were never healed, and she was about to experience them again. It was inevitable that she would develop some inner demons. But she couldn’t remain extreme, sensitive, and so stubborn.

Lu Zhiyuan watched her peaceful sleeping face as she nestled in his arms. It was clear that he was the one who was half-disabled, nearly dying, but Gu Ci seemed even worse off.

His injuries were physical and would heal quickly, but her wounds were deep inside, invisible and hard to treat.

He had an indescribable… heartache.

His hand habitually stroked her ear, as if it had become an addiction. It only took seven days to form a habit, but sometimes it took a lifetime to break one.

Gu Ci’s breathing was steady, and she finally fell asleep. Li Jiang knocked on the door and entered. Lu Zhiyuan handed him noise-canceling headphones and asked, “What’s the matter?”

” Ji Chi is here.”

Lu Zhiyuan glanced down at Gu Ci, who had just fallen asleep. Two sleeping pills meant she wouldn’t wake up for a while. “Come in!”

“Oh, this is unexpected!” Ji Chi raised an eyebrow when he saw the situation.

Lu Zhiyuan pulled up the blanket to cover Gu Ci’s face and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“After Chen Rushi’s surgery, as you expected, he cut off all transactions between the Chen family and Black Hawk. He wants independence, to break free from Black Hawk,” Ji Chi said as he leaned against the window. “Rong Li has managed to keep him busy for a while, and in a recent internal meeting of the Bronn family, sixty percent voted to stay with Black Hawk, and Bronn will suppress them.”

Lu Zhiyuan sneered, “It’s not easy to enter Black Hawk, and it’s even harder to leave. If Chen Rushi wants to break free, he’ll have to give up half of his fortune. Will he be willing to do that?”

“That’s why I’m here. Chen Rushi wants to take away all of the Chen family’s assets from Black Hawk,” Ji Chi said with a cold expression. “1 and Rong Li tried to talk to him twice, but both attempts failed.”

“The Chen family has been a core member of Black Hawk for three generations and an important family. They have enjoyed the benefits for many years. Now, they want to take away all their assets? Tell Chen Rushi he’s dreaming!” Lu Zhiyuan wasn’t one to easily get along with. “Who is behind him, supporting him? Pei Qiuying?”

Ji Chi’s gaze became subtle, and Lu Zhiyuan instantly understood. “Jiang Junlin?”
