Chapter 365: Parent-Child Time 2

In his first conversation with Gu Ziyu about the past, he said, “It should have been my father’s responsibility, but it fell to you, and you suffered for it. Dad and I want to say sorry to you. Also, you’ve done very well.”

Gu Ziyu’s eyes turned red, but he stubbornly resisted crying. He rubbed his eyes forcefully, wiping away the tears. “1 didn’t protect Mom.”

If he had done better, his mother wouldn’t have died.

“You were just a child, and you’ve already done very well,” Lu Zhiyuan said gently. “Now, you have a fresh start. Do what you love, forget the past, don’t hold it in your heart.”

“Can I really forget?” Gu Ziyu didn’t dare to forget even for a day. When Lu Shijie died, he couldn’t rest easy. He even wanted to harm Gu Chuyun. As soon as this person gained power, he couldn’t rest easy. He remembered every face of those who had hurt him and Gu Ci. Even though he had a fresh start now, he didn’t dare to forget even for a day. When he joined the MSS, his original intention was not to defend the country, but to gain power so that he could protect Gu Ci. It was only after receiving Chen Liangdong’s guidance and influence that he had other desires.

“Only by forgetting can you truly find peace and happiness,” Lu Zhiyuan said softly. “I’m here for everything.”

“I’ll listen to you and forget the hatred. Dad, why did you regain your memories but have to be separated from Mom?”

Lu Zhiyuan didn’t answer Gu Ziyu’s question and changed the subject, “Do you still want to play basketball?”

“Yes!” Gu Ziyu saw that he didn’t want to talk about it and didn’t press further.

Gu Ziyu spent the whole day at the Global Center. After lunch, he wanted to challenge Lu Zhiyuan’s hacking skills. Father and son even had an online battle, with Lu Zhiyuan secretly letting Gu Ziyu win a round. Gu Ziyu was so happy that he wanted to jump for joy.

Ji Chi, on the other hand, wanted to ask about Jiang Junlin, but seeing how much fun they were having, he didn’t want to spoil the mood.

Rong Li teased, “Are you really so indifferent? Who believes you want to cut ties with Jiang Junlin?”

“I haven’t made a single phone call to him since he came out.”

Rong Li mocked, “Who was the one who secretly went to Jiang’s doorstep in the dead of winter and endured a night of cold wind? You may not have made a phone call, but you didn’t hesitate to go to his doorstep.”

“Are you following me?”

Rong Li laughed at his anger. “Do I need to follow you? Everything is crystal clear on the surveillance. If I were your enemy, 1 could have shot you dead at Jiang Juniin’s doorstep!”

Ji Chi kicked him. “Wait until you’re in a relationship, and I’ll see how I can tease you!”

“In the next life, perhaps!” Rong Li, holding a cigar, teased, “You can wait patiently.”

“Sure, I’ll wait!”

Lu Zhiyuan didn’t bring up the matter of Jiang Junlin, and Gu Ziyu didn’t mention it either. With their conflicting identities, it wasn’t suitable to discuss official business. This was the first time Gu Ziyu had enjoyed quality father-son time with Lu Zhiyuan, and he was excited. When Lu Zhiyuan sent him back, Gu Ziyu boldly asked, “Dad, are you human?”

Li Jiang was speechless.

Young Master, are you insulting him?

“Of course, I’m human. What else would I be?”

“How can humans fly?” Gu Ziyu was curious. “In this world, there are only three types, humans, ghosts, and demons. Which category does Dad belong to?” “In this world, there are only humans!” Lu Zhiyuan said with a light smile. “There are no ghosts or demons.”

“Then why can you fly?”

“Dad had a special experience. I can’t explain it.” Lu Zhiyuan didn’t want Gu Ziyu to know too much about his complicated past.

“Can I inherit it?” Gu Ziyu asked excitedly. “Can I fly too? Maybe I’m too young to fly right now, but when I grow up, can I fly too?”

Lu Zhiyuan was silent.

That was a good question!

Baby, you’re a straightforward person, don’t think of becoming a demon.

“It was really cool,” Gu Ziyu gestured with his hands and feet. “When Mom and I were in danger, you flew over in an instant. I was stunned, and I even suspected if 1 was in a movie plot.”

Lu Zhiyuan just smiled without saying a word, watching Gu Ziyu’s lively and adorable appearance, feeling very happy.

Gu Ziyu saw that he didn’t want to talk about it, so he didn’t push further. As they approached the Blue Fields Villa, Gu Ziyu had a mischievous idea. “Dad, since you and Mom are going to be separated, why are you still wearing matching couple bracelets?”

He poked Lu Zhiyuan’s bracelet. This particular bracelet didn’t appear feminine on him, and in the winter, with long sleeves, it could be hidden without being noticed. Gu Ziyu had seen it today during their basketball game.

The last time they had supper together in Paris, Gu Ziyu also noticed that Lu Zhiyuan was wearing the same bracelet. It seemed like he had never taken it off.

“I made this bracelet myself. Why can’t I wear it?”

“Oh, you made it yourself,” Gu Ziyu said meaningfully, “No wonder Mom was so anxious. She lost her bracelet yesterday and was really worried.”

Lu Zhiyuan was momentarily stunned and then looked out the window. Only the rise and fall of his chest betrayed a hint of emotion.

Outside the Blue Fields Villa, Gu Ci saw Lu Zhiyuan’s car and was somewhat surprised. This was the car that Lu Zhiyuan used for official business. She thought it might be Li Jiang who had brought Gu Ziyu back, but she didn’t expect Lu Zhiyuan to personally drop Gu Ziyu off.

Gu Ci had just finished her exercise routine. Following medical advice, she had been reading, exercising, getting enough sleep, and maintaining regular meals. She tied her hair into a ponytail, looking youthful and vibrant.

Lu Zhiyuan looked at her through the car window, the night was clear, and the woman he loved was so close yet so far away. His gaze fell on her wrist, and Gu Ci was still wearing that bracelet, as if it was an unspoken agreement and persistence between them.

“Mom, I’m back!” Gu Ziyu ran towards Gu Ci.

Gu Ci smiled gently, holding his hand, and led him into the Blue Fields Villa without acknowledging Lu Zhiyuan.

Li Jiang hesitated for a moment and then said, “Third Master?”

“Let’s go back!” Lu Zhiyuan’s car passed by Gu Ci’s house and then turned around. He saw Gu Ci talking to Gu Ziyu with a smile on her face, looking very affectionate. Li Jiang secretly thought, Third Master, you deliberately sent Young Master back just to see Miss Gu Ci, didn’t you? How can you sit in the car so coldly? At least get out and say a few words. Look, Miss Gu Ci didn’t even acknowledge you.

Inside the Blue Fields Villa, Gu Ziyu excitedly told Gu Ci about their day together, and Gu Ci could tell he was very happy. Gu Ziyu even proudly mentioned that he had won a round against Lu Zhiyuan in their online game.

Gu Ci, watching Gu Ziyu’s enthusiasm, couldn’t help but smile as well.

“He called you over just to play basketball and have fun, didn’t he?”

“He didn’t say anything else, just basketball, meals, and playing with me.” Gu Ziyu promised not to tattle, but then he betrayed Lu Zhiyuan. “Mom, when 1 just arrived at the Global Center, 1 saw Dad at the racetrack, and he was really fast!”

Although he couldn’t understand racing, seeing the coach and Li Jiang so nervous, he knew that Dad must have been amazing. He also knew he couldn’t go to the racetrack.

Gu Ci frowned, her face darkening.

Didn’t his hand need more time to heal? It hadn’t been that long, and if it didn’t heal properly, it might lead to severe joint problems in the future.

“Wait, did you say he was at the racetrack?”
