Gu Ci recalled the past and couldn’t help but smile. When she was ten years old, she was really naive.

Suddenly, she wanted to ask Lu Zhiyuan what she had done that year at the hot spring hotel to annoy him and why he stopped caring for her. Did he still keep the letter of breaking off the relationship?

He cherished the small gifts she gave him, so the letter of breaking off the relationship must still be with him.

After turning ten, she never celebrated her birthday again. However, every year, she would receive a gift, not valuable, but small accessories or dolls that teenage girls liked.

In her previous life, she only knew that the stranger was Lu Zhiyuan after marrying him.

But Lu Zhiyuan had indeed given her gifts.

Every year on her birthday, she would receive two gifts from Lu Zhiyuan.

Although he didn’t celebrate her birthday with her anymore, his gifts were never late. As he said, in his whole life, he only bought gifts for her.

“Third Master, what are you thinking?”

Gu Ci couldn’t figure him out, feeling uneasy.

Upstairs.

Li Jiang couldn’t breathe easily, sweat dripping from his forehead. Lu Zhiyuan was watching the surveillance footage of Gu Ci coming upstairs today. There were hidden cameras in every corner of the room.

On the top floor, besides Lu Zhiyuan, there was only Li Jiang.

After Gu Ci and Gu Ziyu came to live here, Gu Ci had come upstairs twice. They had an understanding that they wouldn’t come upstairs at night. Li Jiang routinely checked the footage every day, and when he saw Gu Ci entering the study, he broke out in a cold sweat.

“Third Master…” Li Jiang suddenly kneeled down. “Please punish me, Third Master.”

He had been careless!

Lu Zhiyuan looked at Gu Ci, went to the bedroom, searched for something, and then went to the study. There wasn’t much in his bedroom, but the study was an important place and had another security door, so he wasn’t worried that Gu Ci and Gu Ziyu would accidentally come in.

But he didn’t expect Gu Ci to guess the password.

1028, her birthday.

“Get lost!” Lu Zhiyuan’s voice was cold, Li Jiang was astonished. After such a big oversight, the Third Master dismissed it lightly. When did he become so forgiving?

“Yes!” Li Jiang escaped with his life, feeling as if he had been given a second chance. The Third Master’s anger was overwhelming when he first saw the footage.

Lu Zhiyuan understood that clever as Gu Ci was, she must have guessed his identity. He picked up his phone, wanting to call Gu Ci, but hesitated and ultimately put it down.

He looked at the chat interface with Gu Ziyu, the first time he took the initiative to contact Gu Ziyu.

Black Hawk: Are you there?

Gu Ziyu: Rare guest, why do you always appear out of nowhere, always at night? Do you have homework to do during the day like me?

Black Hawk: It’s been many years since graduation.

Gu Ziyu: Should I call you Uncle or Grandpa?

Lu Zhiyuan could tell from their conversation that Gu Ci hadn’t told Gu Ziyu, why?

Black Hawk: Call me Dad.

Gu Ziyu: My dad is Lu Zhiyuan, are you?

Lu Zhiyuan’s fingers paused on the keyboard.

Black Hawk: What if I am?

Gu Ziyu: I will kneel and call you Dad, kowtow to you, and serve you tea, okay?

Lu Zhiyuan leaned back, looking thoughtfully at the chat history. Gu Ziyu… this child shared the same birthday as Gu Ci, no wonder they were so close.

Whose child was hel?

Why couldn’t he find a trace despite searching for so long?

Gu Ci knew that Gu Ziyu was in contact with him, why didn’t she inform Gu Ziyu of his identity?

Downstairs, Gu Ci heated up some milk and brought it to Gu Ziyu. She happened to see Gu Ziyu chatting with Lu Zhiyuan on the screen, which was large enough for her to see clearly. After glancing at the recorded conversation, Gu Ci’s heart felt complicated.

“Baby, don’t be too conceited. You’ll end up embarrassing yourself.” She didn’t know how to tell Gu Ziyu. Once she did, she would have to reveal everything about Lu Zhiyuan and the Third Master.

Could Gu Ziyu accept it?

The Third Master knew Gu Ziyu’s identity, and Gu Ziyu wouldn’t be in danger. Now that Gu Ziyu was still young, he couldn’t pose a threat to the Third Master’s life. Was it important to reveal this matter?

Perhaps it would be good for Gu Ziyu to have contact with the Third Master and develop a relationship.

“Mom?”

“Drink your milk. Have you finished your homework?”

“I’m done.” Gu Ziyu pouted while drinking the milk. Since there was no more message from Black Hawk, Gu Ziyu couldn’t help but complain, “Mom, this archenemy must have been mute in their past life.”

After drinking the milk, Gu Ziyu rinsed his mouth, climbed onto the bed, and Gu Ci sat beside him, covering him with a blanket.

“Ziyu…” Gu Ci jokingly asked, “Did you make any friends at school?”

“No!” Gu Ziyu’s face turned into a pout. “They treat me like a little brother.”

Chen Liangdong also frequently asked him if he had made any friends. Gu Ziyu felt frustrated because he didn’t like making friends, and even if he did, they treated him like a little brother. How could he make friends like that?

“You get along quite well with… Black Hawk,” Gu Ci probed, “You could try to be friends.”

“Mom, that’s my archenemy,” Gu Ziyu said decisively, with a hint of resistance. “An enemy!”

Gu Ci didn’t know what to say.

“I won’t be friends with my enemies.” Gu Ziyu said coldly, “Someday, we will face each other as enemies.”

Gu Ci’s mood became complicated. “Your dad and I fought against each other since we were young, and we thought we would keep fighting for the rest of our lives. But unexpectedly, we got married, had you… It’s quite miraculous.” Gu Ziyu blinked his eyes. “Mom?”

“You must be tired, go to sleep early.” Gu Ci also had concerns. After the birthday was over, she would find a suitable time to tell Gu Ziyu. Now that Gu Ziyu was on the right track, although he joined the national security agency, he was still young and couldn’t do much.

Let her baby have a good birthday first!

After a busy week of classes, the weekend arrived. Gu Wenliang and Gu Chuyun both tried calling Gu Ci, asking her to come home for her birthday, but she refused.

Gu Ci had planned a day’s itinerary, and Gu Ziyu was full of anticipation. He didn’t even do his homework and went to bed early to rest and prepare. After Gu Ziyu fell asleep, Gu Ci went up to the rooftop.

Lu Zhiyuan was on the rooftop, standing with his hands behind his back, looking up at the stars.

The starlight tonight was beautiful, like a galaxy spanning the night sky. Gu Ci thought to herself that the heavens were creating a beautiful setting, and tomorrow would definitely be a sunny day.

“Why are you here, Third Master?”

“Admiring the moon.”

“You’re in a good mood, Third Master.” Gu Ci looked at the starry sky. “1 couldn’t sleep, so 1 came up for some fresh air. 1 didn’t expect the starlight to be so beautiful.”

Lu Zhiyuan remained silent, and Gu Ci walked up behind him. “Third Master, look at me.”

He turned around and saw Gu Ci. She was wearing a pure white dress and a beautiful vintage diamond hairpin, clipped to her ear. The moonlight softened her coldness. Standing under the starlight, she looked like a blooming orchid.

Lu Zhiyuan’s gaze flickered, unclear. “What is it?”

“This is the hairpin you gave me when you were young,” Gu Ci said. “It was the first birthday gift I received from you, and I’ve kept it all this time.”

“He gave it to you,” Lu Zhiyuan looked away, turning to look at the night sky..
