Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei was caught off guard; he had initially wanted to break free from Zhou Jinjin. Unexpectedly, she glared at him and fiercely twisted his waist.

Zhou Jinjin watched the injured expression in Lu Shixiu’s eyes with immense satisfaction. After their breakup, finding a man better than you and flaunting it in front of you, what a delightful script for her. She truly enjoyed it.

Lu Shixiu walked away in a daze, while Chen Fei pushed Zhou Jinjin away and kept a distance of three meters. “Why did you lie again?” he asked.

“A harmless little lie, what’s the big deal?” Zhou Jinjin shrugged her shoulders. She had taken to teasing men and was enjoying it. “Soldier brother, you can’t be taking it seriously, can you?”

Chen Fei straightforwardly shook his head. “No!”

Zhou Jinjin playfully ran her fingers through her hair. “You, with that wooden expression, how could you possibly have a beautiful girlfriend like me?”

Zhou Jinjin turned and arrogantly walked away in her high heels.

Chen Fei touched his ear. “Oh!”

Gu Ci found the incident of Lu Shixiu looking for Jinjin quite amusing and didn’t pay much attention to it. With the death of Lu Shijie, the momentum of Xu Tingting and Lu Shixiu had waned, and there was nothing to fear.

During Gu Ziyu’s hospitalization, Lin Chunli and the elderly lady took turns preparing various dishes for him, taking care of him meticulously. As Lin Chunli had family matters to attend to, the couple went to her family home. Jiang Junlin was reluctant to have his grandparents frequently visit the hospital, so after briefing them on things, he brought a thermos with him to the hospital.

Gu Ci was busy with classes and wasn’t at the hospital. An arranged security team, organized by Li Jiang, was keeping an eye on him. Gu Ziyu was half-lying on the hospital bed, working on assignments. Yes, even during his hospital stay, he continued attending online classes. His older brothers sent him video recordings of the lectures, and he spent his spare time studying, doing assignments, and reading research reports.

The persona of the “King of Exams” remained unshaken.

“Ziyu, will you recover well while you’re here?” Jiang Junlin brought out a bowl of fish soup and offered it to him. The fish soup was thick and white, exuding a delightful aroma that made Gu Ziyu’s mouth water.

“I’ll be getting the stitches removed soon, and lying around is boring. This fish soup smells amazing.” Gu Ziyu licked his lips. “I love the fish soup that Grandma Tai makes the most.”

Jiang Junlin arched an eyebrow. Gu Ziyu often used a mix of terms to address him – sometimes Grandma Tai, sometimes just Grandma, mostly Brother, and occasionally he’d slip and call him Uncle.

Gu Ci explained that the child was too young and had grown up abroad, so he found it hard to differentiate between the terms.

Gu Ziyu enjoyed the fish soup and responded, “It’s delicious!” He remembered Jiang Junlin’s picky eating habits. “If you don’t drink fish soup, you’re missing out on a great treat.”

Jiang Junlin raised an eyebrow. “How do you know I don’t drink fish soup?”

“Sister said you’re a picky eater and complained about it.” Gu Ziyu grinned. Jiang Junlin’s fussiness went beyond simple pickiness; his eating habits bordered on eccentricity, and Gu Ziyu had never seen anyone so particular about food.

“Cici’s schedule is quite full these days. Grandma said that once your stitches are removed, you should come stay at our house. They want to take care of you.”

“Sure!” Gu Ziyu had no objections. “Then I’m in for a treat.”

Jiang Junlin calmly peeled an apple. “Baby, with all these courses you’re taking, can you handle it? National Defense Communication and Engineering, Computer Engineering – both are doctoral programs, and even one of them is quite demanding.”

Especially National Defense Communication and Engineering. University A only admitted 150 students in their undergraduate program every year, the top 150 students from across the country. The doctoral program had only about twenty students in total.

It was the first time Jiang Junlin had inquired about his studies, and Gu Ziyu didn’t think too much of it. “It’s not too difficult. I studied management for my undergrad.”

Jiang Junlin continued, “How did you end up choosing a doctoral program? Are you interested in pursuing a career in national defense?”

Gu Ziyu hadn’t intended to study this subject; it was Chen Liangdong’s choice. Originally, he wanted to study finance – making money was his primary goal. Sacrificing and dedicating himself to the country was not his mindset yet.

However, he had been influenced by Chen Liangdong’s passionate commitment to national security during this time, which resonated with something within him.

Parents who lead by example are the best teachers.

“Mhm!” Gu Ziyu nodded firmly. After finishing the fish soup, Jiang Junlin placed the meal in front of him. “That’s great, Ziyu has ambitious goals.”

Gu Ziyu was a sensitive child. He noticed a slight change in Jiang Junlin’s interest in his studies. Why did his uncle suddenly become interested in his academic pursuits?

He was studying so many subjects, yet Jiang Junlin specifically asked about national defense information engineering.

“Brother, what did you major in during college?”

“Economics and finance,” Jiang Junlin wiped his hands with a wet tissue. “There are family interests in mining, so 1 had to go for the finance direction.”

Gu Ziyu found his humor amusing and decided not to overthink it. It wasn’t a good habit, he reminded himself. He should learn to trust his family wholeheartedly and avoid being suspicious.

This was something he had been learning all along.

He was someone whom even Gu Ci didn’t fully believe in – he only believed in himself.

But when Gu Ci jumped off the eighth floor, holding him without any hesitation, he was deeply moved. If it weren’t for his complete trust in Lu Zhiyuan, Gu Ci wouldn’t have held onto him and jumped.

Trusting someone was difficult, but he needed to learn.

He didn’t want to be an island like he was in his past life, shutting everyone out.

Jiang Junlin looked at Gu Ziyu thoughtfully and was about to inquire further when he caught a whiff of rose fragrance. He looked up and saw Ji Chi holding a large bunch of red roses at the door of the hospital room, looking incredibly elegant and beautiful.

“President Jiang, what a coincidence to meet again.”

Jiang Junlin’s expression turned slightly cold. “Why are you here?”

“I’m here to visit the patient.” Ji Chi entered, placing the roses to the side. He looked at Gu Ziyu with a warm smile. “Baby, why have you gained weight while recovering?”

Gu Ziyu’s expression remained neutral. “Are you here to visit or to annoy me?”

Ji Chi chuckled and ruffled his hair. Gu Ziyu was used to his hands-on behavior, and he was too numb to protest further. Jiang Junlin observed their familiar interaction, finding it rather peculiar.

Ziyu was a sworn enemy of Black Hawk in National Security, yet he had a close relationship with Ji Chi?

“Ziyu, do you know him?”

Gu Ziyu made up a story, “He’s my designer.”

Ji Chi’s gaze shamelessly roamed over Jiang Junlin’s body, bold and fervent, like a hand caressing every inch of his body. “President Jiang, I can also be your exclusive designer, tailoring clothes for you.”

Jiang Junlin didn’t mince words and exposed Ji Chi’s identity. “He’s the Vice President of Black Hawk’s Asian division, Chen Rushi’s right-hand man. Lu Shijie was a dog raised by Chen Rushi, and now that this dog is useless, it’s trying to save itself by kidnapping you.”

Gu Ziyu wanted to put on a shocked expression, but when he looked up, he saw Jiang Junlin’s icy gaze. “Ah…”

“It seems our baby knows everything,” Jiang Junlin looked at him with a seemingly smiling yet stern expression. “I might have been overly cautious.”

Ji Chi smiled playfully, “President Jiang, you’re so fierce. You might scare our baby.”

“He’s a member of my Jiang family; he has nothing to do with you.”

“That’s not necessarily true. He’s also our little young master here.” Ji Chi thought to himself, judging by Lu Zhiyuan’s way of doing things, he would probably become their little young master sooner or later..
