He realized something was wrong and asked Aunt Gui and Zhang Qiang to help search.
“Cici, when was the last time you saw the bracelet?”
Gu Ci thought for a moment. “It was when I was chatting with grandma in the garden.”
“Brother knows, if it dropped at home, it won’t be lost. Brother will search high and low for you,” Jiang Junlin’s voice was very gentle. “Don’t panic, and don’t be afraid.”
Gu Ci nodded in a daze.
More than half an hour later, Zhang Qiang found Gu Ci’s bracelet in the flowerbed. It must have accidentally fallen in the garden and was carried to the flowerbed by a wild cat. It was quite hard to find.
Gu Ci held the bracelet, treasuring it as if it were a precious gem, carefully wiping off the dust.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Junlin originally wanted to talk to her about Lu Zhiyuan, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it. “Is there anything missing?” Gu Ci shook her head and put it back on.
“Sorry for making you all worry.”
“It’s okay, as long as we found it!” Grandma embraced her. “I like bracelets and bangles. Grandma has a lot of beautiful jewelry, I’ll give them all to you later.” Gu Ci shook her head and said, “Brother has already given me a lot. Grandma, please keep them.”
“Junlin, you’re really biased. How come Mom doesn’t have any?” Lin Chunli jokingly said.
“Dad, this is your negligence,” Jiang Junlin shifted the blame. “Your wife is missing some jewelry, that’s your fault.”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Lin Chunli humorously lightened the mood, and the family was once again harmonious and joyful.
After dinner, Gu Ci packed some of Gu Ziyu’s favorite dishes, and Qin Wan waited outside to take her back to the Bluefield Villa. After Gu Ci left, Lin Chunli couldn’t help but ask, “Junlin, did Cici… break up?”
Jiang Junlin said, “Young people in love, breaking up and getting back together is normal, don’t worry.”
“But the way she looks… it’s really worrisome.”
Grandpa spoke confidently, “Invite Director Lu over for dinner one day and talk about their engagement.”
Jiang Junlin had a headache, “Grandpa, please don’t stir things up.”
“My granddaughter wants someone, I’ll make sure he comes!” Grandpa said firmly.
Jiang Junlin said with a hint of frustration, “Grandpa, do you still remember that we come from a scholarly family?” novelbuddy.c om
Everyone was speechless.
On the way back home, Qin Wan said, “The master asked me to follow you from now on.”
“Follow me?” Gu Ci pondered.
“Why though? He’s regained his freedom, and you don’t need to be involved in gang matters anymore. Why does the master want me to follow you?” Qin Wan asked.
“Did you ask him?”
Qin Wan shook her head. “The master always has a reason for his actions, and I didn’t question it.”
“Do you mind, then?” Gu Ci countered.
“Why would I mind?” Qin Wan replied.
Gu Ci smiled and didn’t say anything more, understanding Jiang Junlin’s arrangement in her heart.
Qin Wan asked, “Cici, why does the master want me to follow you? You don’t have to deal with gang matters anymore.”
“Brother might want me to become the leader of the gang.”
“Ah…” Qin Wan humorously remarked, “That’s a bit ominous.”
“Why?” Gu Ci inquired.
“The master has taken down so many gang leaders,” Qin Wan glanced at her, “If one day you betray the master for Third Master, that… it would be quite tricky.”
Gu Ci chuckled and looked at the deep night sky. “That day will never come.” “The leader of the gang becomes a target,” Qin Wan felt it necessary to explain to Gu Ci, “At first, they are loyal, but once they sit in a position of power, they gather more people around them, and opinions become divided. They may not always share your goals; they could divide you and conquer, former leaders have betrayed for their own interests, manipulated by others, like Pei Qiuying who wanted both love and power. To be well-informed, but not to be biased. Siblings turning against each other for money and power is not uncommon.” Moreover, you still love Lu Zhiyuan. Can the master and Lu Zhiyuan coexist peacefully?
Gu Ci said softly, “There are some things I won’t do.”
She rarely confided in people, except during treatment when she would share her thoughts with Dr. North. Gu Ci continued, “1 once felt utterly hopeless and had no attachment to this world. It was him who went to great lengths to bring me back from hell to the human world. Living for him is my obsession. 1 know I’m sick, and I’m trying to heal myself. 1 hope… he’s okay, my brother is okay, and Ziyu is okay, everyone is okay, even if… even if he can’t love me anymore.” She had been trying to convince herself like this, over and over again, as if to engrave it into her bones.
“Love and hate, if they could be restrained, there wouldn’t be so many infatuated lovers in this world,” Qin Wan chuckled and said, “Gu Ci, what does it feel like to love someone?”
Gu Ci’s mind involuntarily recalled Lu Zhiyuan outside the prison years ago, the sunshine, dazzling. When she saw him, Gu Ci covered her face, feeling ashamed, yet also feeling the warmth of the spring breeze.
“It’s feeling extremely happy when you see him,” she said. It was about feeling joyful when she saw the person even in her darkest moments.
Qin Wan seemed to ponder for a moment, “Gu Ci, how much you love Lu Zhiyuan, I’ve experienced it most closely. You may say you’ve broken up, but you’ve always worn the couple bracelet that Lu Zhiyuan gave you. You’ve never taken it off!”
Tonight was particularly strange. Gu Ci had been touching that bracelet since she got in the car, as if touching it would satisfy her.
Qin Wan secretly pondered, when you break up, aren’t you supposed to pack up and get rid of everything your boyfriend gave you?
When Gu Ci arrived home, Gu Ziyu had just returned and was lounging on the sofa. Gu Ci’s mood inexplicably improved when she saw him. She smiled and pinched his little cheek, “What should we have for dinner?”
“Takeout!” Gu Ziyu pouted. “If I’m as picky as Uncle, I definitely won’t survive.” He had been busy with work lately, and it was all takeout meals. If he continued this way for another week, the meat he raised at the Jiang family for the New Year would go to waste. Gu Ci took out the packed meal and Gu Ziyu’s eyes lit up. “Buddha Jumps Over the Wall…”
Gu Ci served him a bowl and also picked a piece of barbecue pastry for him. Gu Ziyu, with his cheeks puffed, looked especially cute. Gu Ci felt happy just looking at him. “Mom, why have you been smiling at me all the time?” “You’re so adorable!”
Gu Ziyu was speechless.
Gu Ci had become increasingly natural in expressing her affection for Gu Ziyu. No matter how crazy she might be, she never forgot to repeatedly give Gu Ziyu a sense of security. She loved him.
“Am I cute, or is Dad cute?” Gu Ziyu started comparing.
“You’re cute!” There was no doubt about it.
Gu Ziyu was satisfied, and he even had an extra bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, eating until his belly swelled.
Gu Ziyu had inherited the advantages of both his parents, and he was especially adorable with his rosy cheeks and delicate features. He used to be a little gloomy and rarely smiled, giving the impression of a small demon. But now, he smiled and was cute like an angel that everyone loved.
Mother and son chatted about daily life for a while. Gu Ziyu suddenly said, “Mom, I need to report something to you. Dad invited me to have dinner with him tomorrow.”
Gu Ci was momentarily surprised, and Gu Ziyu hurriedly added, “If you don’t agree, 1 won’t go.”
“Go ahead!” Gu Ci said, “He… has regained memories from his previous life..”
