The next day at noon, Lu Zhiyuan had a competition, and Gu Ci turned on the TV to watch the live broadcast. Jiang Minghua also enjoyed watching car races, while others were not very interested but accompanied Gu Ci.

The race track was bustling with people, and Zhou Jinjin also sent a live video from the scene.

Before the race, Lu Zhiyuan was interviewed, and the reporter asked, “Ferrari team has a very close cooperation strategy in the main race. 1 wonder if the Dynasty team has any countermeasures?”

“Any strategy is insignificant in the face of strength,” Lu Zhiyuan arrogantly and confidently replied, “The champion will definitely be our Dynasty team.”

The reporter chuckled, “Hahaha, Mr. Lu is very confident.”

The reporter almost couldn’t keep up with the conversation.

Lin Chunli couldn’t understand car racing and asked, “Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he doesn’t win the championship?”

Jiang Junlin sipped his tea, spending the weekend with his family watching the race, occasionally replying to emails, and handling simple tasks.

Jiang Minghua said, “That’s the magic of it. He has always been able to win the championship.”

Always so confident, never being proven wrong.

Jiang Junlin casually said, “Arrogance.”

Gu Ci agreed with this evaluation, deeply feeling the same. She couldn’t refute it. Lu Zhiyuan was both arrogant and proud.

Before Lu Zhiyuan went on the track, he sent her a text message asking her to watch the race attentively. Gu Ci replied with a selfie and added emoticons, “I’ll be watching you closely.”

Lu Zhiyuan didn’t reply.

Jiang Junlin looked down at Gu Ci. She was texting Lu Zhiyuan, and her lips involuntarily curved up, revealing a touch of tenderness. Gu Ci had a striking appearance and a somewhat cold temperament, which had a slightly aggressive beauty. Every bit of tenderness she showed seemed to be related to Lu Zhiyuan.

The race began, and there was almost no suspense. Lu Zhiyuan took first place in the qualifying race, and his teammate took fifth place, a decent position. They had been cooperating well all along. The onlookers thought the race was too dangerous during overtaking. Even the old couple became very nervous. But when they managed to overtake, it was truly exhilarating. In the Ferrari team’s attempts to collide with Lu Zhiyuan, he managed to avoid them all.

First place, without any suspense. The two Ferrari drivers took second and third place. Lu Zhiyuan’s teammate finished sixth, narrowing the gap in the team’s annual points. Lu Zhiyuan took off his helmet and blew a kiss to the audience. The stands were boiling with excitement.

At that moment, he was the lengend in everyone’s hearts.

Lin Chunli said, “No wonder Cici likes him. He is quite charming.”

Gu Ziyu wanted to compare, “Aunt, I’m charming too!”

“Yes, our Ziyu is the most charming!”

Zhou Jinjin also sent a text message, excitedly sharing the news of Lu Zhiyuan’s championship. Gu Ci congratulated Lu Zhiyuan, but he had just finished the race and had a lot to deal with, so she didn’t disturb him.

After the race, Lu Zhiyuan gained fans from the Jiang family, apart from Jiang Junlin. Grandma asked Gu Ci, “You haven’t successfully pursued him?”

Gu Ci smiled lightly, “Grandma, not yet.”

Jiang Junlin remained silent. Gu Ci received a phone call and went outside to answer it. Grandma said, “What is his meaning of this? How about… we talk to Lu Ze and fix the engagement if Cici likes him? ”

“That’s a good idea. Once the engagement is fixed, it’s settled.”

Gu Ziyu was speechless.

Jiang Junlin shifted his gaze away from the phone, “Cici is still young. There’s no hurry to set an engagement. It’s not surprising that a young girl likes Lu Zhiyuan out of infatuation. After a few years, the novelty will wear off. We don’t need to restrict her with an engagement. Let her follow her heart. If they really want to get married in the future, it should be based on mutual love and compatibility, not just because of an engagement.”

“You don’t like him?” Jiang Minghua sensitively noticed Jiang Juniin’s tone.

Jiang Junlin said, “It’s not that.”

Gu Ziyu lit a silent candle for his father.

Gu Ci returned after answering the call, “Ziyu, you have dinner here. 1 need to go out for something. I won’t be back for dinner.”

“Okay!”

Gu Ci met Zhou Li in the recording studio to record a new song. Gu Ci composed the music and arranged it herself. The new song was called “Breaking Through the Wind” and was a traditional-style song.

Zhou Li’s voice was most suitable for singing love songs, but he also had a great feeling when singing majestic songs. Gu Ci’s voice was mesmerizing, and her presence in the music industry was waning. But hearing her heavenly voice was a delightful experience.

Zhou Li’s team captured some behind-the-scenes footage, which they promoted that very day. Gu Ci’s popularity had recently skyrocketed. She was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, a medical student, the princess of Hua Lan, and the rumored girlfriend of Lu Zhiyuan. She held various titles that made people envy her.

The behind-the-scenes footage was praised by Zhou Li’s fans, although there were also some people who mocked Gu Ci, mostly Lu Zhiyuan’s enthusiastic fans. The publicity effect was quite good. After finishing work, Zhou Li invited Gu Ci to have dinner.

Gu Ci didn’t refuse. Zhou Li was someone who truly enjoyed life. He took Gu Ci to a restaurant in the mountains, a farmhouse he often visited. The seasonal bamboo shoots, loquat fruit, and mountain grapes were all especially delicious. Zhou Li had informed the owner a week in advance, so everything was prepared. Gu Ci ate to her heart’s content. Zhou Li asked the owner to pack some mountain grapes and wild kiwis for her to take home.

“This meal will make me gain three kilograms.” Gu Ci ate until she was full. The two of them had been talking about music the whole time and were very compatible.

“You’re so thin, you should eat more.”

After dinner, the two of them took a walk in the mountains to aid digestion. The sky was filled with stars, which was rare to see in the city. It was very romantic. Since Gu Ci’s rebirth, she had experienced so many things, and it was rare for her to relax like this.

“It’s so beautiful.” Gu Ci smiled, her eyes curved. She thought about bringing Lu Zhiyuan here to stargaze next time.

This thought saddened her. Third Master would not watch the stars with her.

Zhou Li looked at her fair profile and felt his heart beating faster. Gu Ci possessed the aesthetic qualities that he admired. From the moment he saw her on the variety show, Zhou Li liked her very much. Later, when they talked about music, she played the violin while he sang. They had a great understanding, which further nurtured Zhou Li’s greed.

Zhou Li nervously asked, “Cici, are you… in a relationship with Lu Zhiyuan?”

Gu Ci chuckled and shook her head, “No.”

“Then are you single?”

Gu Ci nodded, pondering in her heart. Single, with a six-year-old son and a husband who refuses to date her. It was truly a tragic situation.

“Then… can I pursue you?” Zhou Li confessed for the first time, his hands sweating nervously, resembling an infatuated young boy.

Gu Ci couldn’t believe it. She was extremely clueless when it came to love between men and women. In her previous life, before her disfigurement, she was beautiful but gloomy. She always wore a solemn expression and had a personality that people didn’t like. Compared to her, there was the brilliant Gu Chuyun, who boys preferred. After her disfigurement, she became even more insecure and sensitive, making her even less likable.

After her release from prison in her previous life, Lu Zhiyuan proposed to her, and she agreed after being desolate. She and Lu Zhiyuan gradually developed feelings after marriage. Therefore, she was unfamiliar with pursuits and romance.

She didn’t even realize that Zhou Li liked her.

“You like me?” Gu Ci was at a loss. “Why?”

“You play the violin well, and you’re beautiful…” Zhou Li smiled shyly, a hint of bashfulness on his face. “This is the first time I’ve felt this way. I… I want to be brave and take that plunge..”
