Shocking! She Returned with a Miniature Bigshot

Lu Zhiyuan got angry and ignored her. He clung to his aloof persona. Gu Ci couldn’t help but laugh and play along for a while. Then she glanced at the time and went to prepare dinner for him.

“Wait!” Lu Zhiyuan held her hand. “These are the hands of a genius violinist. You don’t need to cook for anyone. They’re not worthy.”

Li Jiang listened at the door and couldn’t help but grumble.

Hypocrite!

It’s obvious that he found Miss Gu’s congee too bland. Third Master prefers stronger flavors and doesn’t like light dishes. He has to watch his diet due to his injury, so Gu Ci always makes him congee with little oil and salt, occasionally adding some chicken, and she’s even worried about it affecting his wound.

“Don’t you like the congee I make?”

Lu Zhiyuan fell into a subtle silence. Gu Ci can handle everyday cooking, it’s not bad, but to say it’s delicious, it’s not that great. In the early days, when Gu Ci tried to please him with her cooking, he ate it because Li Jiang always fed him grass. But when his dietary preferences changed, and he started to want meaty dishes, his tastes became more finicky.

“I do like it. 1 just don’t want you to tire yourself out.”

Li Jiang thought to himself, Men’s words are deceiving, and Third Master is no exception!

“Alright!” Gu Ci smiled. “Then I’ll play the violin for you. It’s a good time to test its sound.”

The valuable violin she acquired at the auction hadn’t been played properly by Gu Ci yet. Li Jiang brought it over, and Gu Ci instantly liked it. Although she had touched it many times in her previous life, she rarely played it.

She stood by the window, with the afternoon sun casting a golden glow on her. Gu Ci began playing “Liang Zhu” on the violin, the violin version of the Chinese legend of Butterfly Lovers. Gu Ci loved it, and after improvising the sheet music a bit, she loved it even more. Just a few days ago, Zhou Li used this music as a background score.

Lu Zhiyuan watched the girl by the window, playing the violin with a fixed gaze. Her curly hair swayed gently in the breeze, the curtains danced with the wind, and the sunlight seemed to dance on her, like musical notes dancing on her.

Sunlight, a young girl, and a violin blended into a single scene, a sight he had never seen in his life.

Suddenly, a severe pain surged through Lu Zhiyuan’s mind. This scene seemed familiar, as if there was another girl, playing “Liang Zhu” with the same Stradivarius violin. Her figure was even more delicate than Gu Ci’s. Lu Zhiyuan tried to see her clearly, but all he could remember was a horrifying scar on her face. He didn’t have time to see her face.

Although Gu Ci was immersed in her violin playing, her gaze was always on him. When she saw the pain in his expression, she quickly stopped playing. “Lu Zhiyuan, what’s wrong?”

Lu Zhiyuan had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he stared at Gu Ci’s face intently. The girl’s face was flawless, from childhood to adulthood, there had never been a flaw. It wasn’t Gu Ci!

How fortunate!

It was not GuCi!

But why does this girl appear in his memories, and why does it hurt so much? Who is she? What has he forgotten, and why do these memories keep resurfacing in his mind lately?

“Lu Zhiyuan?”

“I’m fine,” Lu Zhiyuan rubbed his temple. “It’s probably a lingering effect of the concussion. I’ve been having some headaches lately.”

“Go to the hospital for a recheck.”

“I already did. Resting more should help.”

Gu Ci helped him lie down, feeling somewhat puzzled herself. She had seen Lu Zhiyuan’s headaches several times recently. Such frequent headaches, was it because of a concussion, or did something else get injured?

“Give me the medical report,” Gu Ci said sternly. “Don’t avoid seeking medical attention.”

Lu Zhiyuan sighed and had Li Jiang hand over the report. Lu Zhiyuan had undergone an MR1 scan, which showed some minor brain lesions. It wasn’t a major issue but could indeed cause headaches and dizziness. Gu Ci examined the images carefully and felt somewhat relieved.

Lu Zhiyuan felt a bit warm inside. The feeling of having someone who cared for him wholeheartedly was truly wonderful, something no one could resist, even the most stoic individuals.

Even though he knew her concern belonged to the Third Young Master, not him, he still found it heartwarming.

Lu Zhiyuan held Gu Ci’s wrist and pulled her into his embrace. He was starting to feel a bit jealous of the Third Young Master, jealous that he could receive Miss Ci’s care and affection wholeheartedly, while he couldn’t do anything but feel jealous.

The girl in his arms belonged to the Third Young Master!

Gu Ci stayed with Lu Zhiyuan until 6 o’clock. As they left the Global Building, they coincidentally ran into Zhou Li, a globally renowned composer who was staying at the international hotel across the street. Zhou Li had come to discuss a collaboration with Lu Zhiyuan. When he saw Gu Ci, Zhou Li warmly invited her to have dinner together. It had been a while since they had seen each other.

Gu Ci didn’t refuse and agreed to meet at a restaurant inside Global.

As Li Jiang went downstairs to pack Lu Zhiyuan’s favorite meat dishes, he noticed Gu Ci and Zhou Li having a lively conversation. Li Jiang discreetly took a photo and showed it to Lu Zhiyuan when he returned upstairs.

“Third Master, I saw Miss Gu Ci downstairs.”

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at the photo. Zhou Li and Gu Ci were a handsome couple, creating a great atmosphere. The photo turned out beautifully, and Gu Ci had a radiant smile.

She and Zhou Li were kindred spirits. When she was relatively unknown, Zhou Li already appreciated her violin skills. They had mutual admiration for each other, creating a great atmosphere. Lu Zhiyuan looked at the photo and felt like his dinner had lost its taste.

She hadn’t smiled so brightly recently.

“Are you so free?” Lu Zhiyuan asked Li Jiang.

Li Jiang was puzzled. He was quite busy recently, and it was a hectic season with many tasks to handle. With Third Master’s illness, he had to take care of a lot of things. He also answered Ji Chi and Rong Li’s phone calls.

“Since you have some free time, clean the house!” Lu Zhiyuan said.

Li Jiang was taken aback. When did he, a chief of security, become responsible for housekeeping? But he didn’t dare to protest. Once the Third Master gave an order, he had to follow it without question.

“Yes, sir!”

After he left, Li Jiang couldn’t help but slap his own palm. Why did he have to be so meddlesome? It would have been better not to take a picture of Miss Gu Ci. The Third Master must be jealous. Li Jiang thought to himself, maybe the Third Master has taken his role as Third Young Master a bit too seriously?

Zhou Li invited Gu Ci to participate in a variety show as his partner. The offer was quite attractive, but Gu Ci declined. Firstly, she didn’t want to expose herself to the public eye. Lu Zhiyuan was a global star, shining brightly enough, and there were many rumors and gossip about public figures. Secondly, she was a medical student with a busy schedule, and she also had to worry about Jiang Junlin’s affairs, so it wasn’t suitable for her to make appearances.

Although Gu Ci turned down Zhou Li’s offer, she recommended Zhou Jinjin, who was also talented in music. If Zhou Li needed a partner for the show, Zhou Jinjin would be a good choice. Zhou Jinjin had become quite popular recently, reaching top-tier internet celebrity status. Following Zhou Li’s path would save her from encountering many pitfalls..
