She was familiar with such a gaze; Third Young Master always looked at her with that kind of gaze.

In that gaze, she knew she was loved.

“Where is this?”

“My bedroom,” Lu Zhiyuan said. Outside the window, the sky had turned a shade of orange. Gu Ci tilted her head, calmly taking a deep breath. She cherished his presence, finding solace beside him. “How do you feel?” “Hungry…” Gu Ci only felt dizzy and hungry.

Lu Zhiyuan walked over, picked up a bowl of warm soup that had been simmering. Gu Ci sat up, leaning against soft pillows. Her intravenous drip was not yet finished; she glanced at the IV bag—it still had two more hours to go.

“This is chicken soup I made in the kitchen. Have a little.”

Gu Ci’s long hair fell gently on her shoulders, making her face appear even smaller. She looked like a girl who had been abused for a long time, and it was heart-wrenching. Lu Zhiyuan blew on the spoonful of chicken soup and brought it to her lips.

Gu Ci hesitated for a moment, her gaze fixed on him in silence. The scent of the chicken soup filled her nostrils, and their eyes seemed to entwine, like honey continuously wrapping around, sweet and sticky.

She couldn’t help but open her mouth and silently drank a bowl of chicken soup.

She hated herself. Why did she faint when she saw Lu Zhiyuan? She had promised him that she would see a doctor and take care of herself, but now the pretense had been exposed.

She was like a brightly colored flower from afar, but in reality, her roots were rotting.

After drinking the soup, Lu Zhiyuan brought a bowl of porridge. He fed her slowly. Gu Ci kept her eyes down, never looking at him, quietly eating the porridge. The burning sensation of hunger finally eased.

“Cici, you’re a doctor. Do you know why you fainted?” Lu Zhiyuan asked.

Gu Ci knew full well. She didn’t do it on purpose. She wanted to rest well, but she couldn’t sleep. She wanted to eat properly, but she had no appetite. Her body didn’t obey her brain’s commands. She could only watch herself day by day, getting thinner and falling into the abyss.

Physician, heal thyself. It had been true since ancient times.

She didn’t want to fall ill in front of Lu Zhiyuan. She didn’t want him to see her weak side, as if she were seeking sympathy. All her self-esteem and pain were laid bare before him.

Hmm, to kill Xiao Min!

She had to take care of that before returning to her home country. She couldn’t delay it any longer.

She heard footsteps behind her, and Qin Wan turned her head to see Rong Li. She had a cigarette between her fingers, and interestingly, Rong Li had one too. They exchanged a glance.

“Why are you here?” Rong Li blurted out.

“I’m waiting for Gu Ci. I’m not here to wander around your headquarters or steal secrets,” Qin Wan blew a smoke ring, her tone irritated.

Bad luck!

Rong Li also felt unlucky. The rooftop was his private space, and he had a bad temper, easily angered and prone to outbursts. Occasionally, he would come to the rooftop to smoke and cool down.

Unexpectedly, someone else had taken his spot.

He turned to leave but then thought again. This was his territory; why should he leave?

Rong Li swaggered over, and both of them sat on the rooftop, smoking. Qin Wan frowned, finished one cigarette, and lit another. Rong Li thought to himself that this girl had quite a heavy smoking habit.

“I heard that Xiao Min betrayed us because she fell in love with you?”

“Do you actually believe that gossip?”

“She said it herself,” Qin Wan leaned against a post, propped up her legs, and asked casually, “She infiltrated for several years, loyal and capable. You must be quite skilled to make her betray the Triad. A honey trap?”

Rong Li turned his head and smiled. With the cigarette in his hand, he exuded a unique charm. “Is it possible that I offered a better price when you guys didn’t pay her enough?”

“Can money buy someone’s loyalty?”

“It can!” Rong Li said, “Money is all-powerful. If it doesn’t buy loyalty, it’s because you didn’t offer enough!”

Qin Wan disagreed. In her eyes, Rong Li was as good as dead. He and Xiao Min were going to die together. Qin Wan had seen Rong Li’s file; he was just a student. Although he was secretly trained by Jiang Junlin, he still hadn’t connected Qin Wan to the assassin from that day.

“Let’s gossip a bit. You and Ji Chi are good buddies. My boss killed your whole family, yet Ji Chi had an affair with my boss.. Why haven’t you severed ties with Ji Chi?”
