Shocking! She Returned with a Miniature Bigshot-Chapter 5: Childhood Friend

Her fragrance hit him on his face, and Lu Zhiyuan's body stiffened in shock as he looked at Gu Ci in his arms. Following closely behind was Li Jiang, who swung an iron rod toward them. Just as the small bronze statue was about to hit Gu Ci, Sean was hit on the wrist by the iron rod, causing the statue to fall off and him to fall to the side.

Li Jiang immediately notified the security team.

"Gu Ci?" Lu Zhiyuan regained his senses, his face turning ashen. But before he could even scold her, Gu Ci hugged him tightly, crying out his name. "Lu Zhiyuan, I missed you so much."

Lu Zhiyuan remained silent.

Longing and sadness swept over her, as if she had been trapped in an eternal nightmare. In this moment of embracing him, the nightmare finally came to an end.

She had been crazy for six years, thinking of him for six years.

Lu Zhiyuan heard Gu Ci's words clearly and murmured to himself, "What's the occasion?"

"Why are you here, Gu Ci?" Sean was also surprised to see Gu Ci here, standing in front of Lu Zhiyuan. He was both shocked and jealous. Weren't they supposed to be enemies?

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at Sean, and something crossed his peach blossom eyes, which were always smiling, leaving behind a trace of gloominess that quickly vanished. He laughed lazily and unrestrainedly, "Gu Ci, say it again."

Gu Ci looked at him intently. Lu Zhiyuan, who was in his twenties, exuded youthful vigor and unparalleled charm, arrogant and dazzling. Deep yearning and affection were visible in her eyes. "Lu Zhiyuan, I missed you so much."

Lu Zhiyuan remained silent.

He wasn't hallucinating; it was indeed real. 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶

Lu Zhiyuan raised his hand and touched her forehead, looking puzzled. "You don't have a fever."

Sean wanted to go and pull Gu Ci away, but Lu Zhiyuan was quicker. With one hand, he picked up Gu Ci and shielded her behind him. Being a professional race car driver who exercised regularly, he had impressive arm strength. He also had an untimely thought.

Gu Ci's waist was so slender!

"Gu Ci, it's Sean. Do you remember me?" Sean looked at her eagerly. He had fallen in love with Gu Ci at first sight during a race held at the university this year, but he had been rejected several times.

Gu Ci finally understood why Lu Zhiyuan had fought with Sean after winning the championship in their past life.

In their past life, after Lu Zhiyuan won the championship, he had a conflict with Sean and was hit on the head. Gu Ci was imprisoned for five years, and Lu Zhiyuan was in a coma for five years. After they got married, she had asked Lu Zhiyuan why he had fought with Sean, but Lu Zhiyuan had avoided the topic and refused to talk about it.

It turned out that he had done it to protect her!

"Get lost!" Gu Ci frowned in disgust, keeping her words brief and to the point. Sean was taken aback, realizing that Gu Ci had heard what he had said. He quickly explained, "It was just a joke..."

"Li Jiang!" Lu Zhiyuan was furious. Li Jiang, who had been watching from the side, quickly led a group of people to take Sean and several other drivers out of the lounge. Gu Ziyu was leaning against the door, and when Li Jiang looked over, he gave him a sweet smile.

Li Jiang's legs almost gave way, and he nearly kneeled down. Why was this cute little kid so terrifying when he smiled?

"Uncle Li, it's been a long time," Gu Ziyu's voice was childish and innocent.

Li Jiang was completely confused. "Little young master, do we...know each other?"

Gu Ziyu smiled but didn't say anything. The security team led Sean and the others, who were grumbling and complaining, away. Gu Ziyu beckoned with his finger, and Li Jiang obediently squatted down. "What's up?"

"That guy named Sean...break his legs," Gu Ziyu said the most vicious words in the most harmless voice.

It was Sean who had caused his dad to be in a coma for five years in their past life. If not for that, his mom wouldn't have suffered in prison.

"Isn't that a bit too much?" Li Jiang hesitated. Was this something a child should say? Baby, you look thin, small, and cute, but you exude so much killing intent?

"Are you questioning me?" Gu Ziyu narrowed his eyes, which were full of charm and flirtatiousness.

"I...I wouldn't dare!" Li Jiang never dreamed that he would bow down in front of a six-year-old kid.

Gu Ci desperately wanted to tell Lu Zhiyuan everything, but as soon as the thought crossed her mind, her heart felt like it was being clenched by a hand, causing a suffocating pain.

"Gu Ci?" Lu Zhiyuan's expression remained unchanged, but it felt like he was having a heart attack. He hugged her and placed a hand on her back. "Take a deep breath, don't be nervous, I'm here."

Warm and familiar breath enveloped her, and Gu Ci's eyes were full of Lu Zhiyuan. She held his hand tightly, almost leaving a red mark on his wrist, but couldn't say a word.

Why? Why couldn't she tell Lu Zhiyuan everything?

Liu Zhiyuan picked her up horizontally and strode away. When Li Jiang saw Liu Zhiyuan carrying Gu Ci out, he was very surprised and hurriedly reminded him, "Third Young Master, the award ceremony is about to begin."

However, Liu Zhiyuan seemed to not hear him. He carried Gu Ci up to the top floor, with Gu Ziyu following closely behind. What's wrong with Mom?

Helpless, Li Jiang had no choice but to follow them. Gu Ci was indeed more important than winning the championship.

Gu Ziyu was like an invisible person, quiet and silent. He followed them all the way until Liu Zhiyuan noticed him. When Gu Ziyu saw Liu Zhiyuan's gaze on him, he showed a sweet and cute smile, so soft and adorable.

What would his father say to him?

How should he greet his father?

But Liu Zhiyuan had no interest in children, even if they were soft and cute. He thought Gu Ziyu was a child brought by Li Jiang, and only took a quick glance before focusing on Gu Ci. For Gu Ziyu, it was his first time meeting his father. He had prepared countless drafts of what he wanted to say, but he didn't expect his father to completely ignore him.

Gu Ziyu pondered gloomily. Was his smile not sweet enough? Was he not cute enough?

On the east side of the Global Sports Center stood a 78-story building, with Liu Zhiyuan's home at the top. Gu Ci's heart rate went out of control all the way, causing her extreme pain. Even the doctors couldn't find any problems.

Liu Zhiyuan's gaze darkened. "Li Jiang, prepare the car. We're going to the hospital."

"Yes, sir!"

Gu Ci grabbed his hand. As long as she gave up telling Liu Zhiyuan the truth, she wouldn't feel the pain. She looked up at him and said softly, "I'm feeling better now."

"You have a heart disease, and I didn't even know?" Liu Zhiyuan's tone was unkind. But Gu Ci greedily looked at his youthful face, the arrogant and unrestrained Liu Zhiyuan was the pain in her heart.

Gu Ci hesitated, not knowing how to explain. "I don't have a heart disease. I just felt uncomfortable from running too fast."

Liu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but then his attitude turned harsh as he snapped at her, "Why did you run so fast? Are you trying to be reborn?"

Gu Ziyu narrowed his eyes, a hint of darkness crossing his expression.

In his heart, anyone who dared to say a harsh word to his mother was his enemy, even if it was his own father. Liu Zhiyuan's image in Gu Ziyu's mind plummeted to the bottom.

Gu Ci chuckled, her eyes slightly red. This familiar tone and attitude were truly her mortal enemy. It was no wonder she couldn't see that Liu Zhiyuan secretly had a crush on her.

Because in front of her, the young master's temper was never restrained.

Liu Zhiyuan took out a can of cherry juice from the fridge and threw it to Gu Ci. She was surprised. This was the brand she loved to drink, but Liu Zhiyuan was an athlete who avoided sugar and fruit juice. Yet, her favorite cherry juice was always in the fridge, even though she had never been to his house before.
