Chapter 54 will still do your favorite thing...
Evening, S City, China.
Gu Qingci sat in a high-end armchair, his eyes filled with hostility and his whole body radiating coldness.
Two bodyguards were kneeling in front of him, their heads bowed tightly.
"Can't even protect one person?"
Gu Qingci thought he had the victory in his grasp and that Ji Wanwan was already his.
Who knew that all the bodyguards he sent would be taken down by Clover's men, and Ji Wanwan would even be captured and taken back!
The two bodyguards trembled slightly, but forced themselves to say, "It was our dereliction of duty."
None of them expected that Kolov had already sent people to guard the Chinese airport.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have let their guard down.
"Go down and accept your punishment!" Gu Qingci coldly swept his gaze over the two of them.
The bodyguard hurriedly left.
The next second, Gu Qingci vented her anger and swept all the items on the table.
A sharp crash shattered the silence of the study as glass, documents, and pens fell heavily to the floor.
Ji Wanwan is hers... and always will be.
Gu Qingci took out a photo from the drawer. The photo was a picture of the two of them together, the same photo that Kolov had obtained earlier.
This is also the only photo of the two of them together.
His fingertips gently brushed against Ji Wanwan's youthful cheeks, his eyes tender and affectionate.
Back then, Ji Wanwan was clearly his, and even if Ji Wanwan disagreed, no one dared to take her away from him.
Everyone thought that Ji Wanwan would eventually agree to Gu Qingci's proposal, but now, he felt empty inside, as if Ji Wanwan no longer belonged to him.
In just three months, everything changed.
He slowly clenched the photo, lowered his head and kissed Ji Wanwan in the picture, his brown pupils concealing a strong desire that seemed about to erupt at any moment.
He carefully put the photos back into the drawer, locked it, and went into the bathroom.
The icy water flowed down his head, the window was open, and a cold wind blew freely against his body.
But he felt no cold at all; in fact, he felt increasingly hot.
The wound on his jaw, cut by a stone, was oozing blood again, which dripped down mixed with water.
When he came out after finishing his business, a dignified woman was sitting on the sofa, wearing a hazy blue silk shawl that exuded elegance.
Gu Qingci paused while drying her hair, then walked over.
"Mother, what brings you here?"
This person was none other than Gu Qingci's mother, Qianxi.
Gu Qingci's appearance resembled her mother's, aloof and noble.
Even though Qianxi is over forty, she doesn't look old at all. Instead, she seems to have become more radiant with the passage of time. Her skin is still fair, and she exudes a calm and composed aura.
"Can't I come?" she asked gently.
“You are my mother, of course you can.” Gu Qingci respected her.
Qianxi frowned slightly when she saw the wound on his face.
"You've ruined yourself like this because of her?"
The wound wasn't big, but Qianxi felt sorry for her son, after all, he was her own flesh and blood.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Dmitri to help him.
Gu Qingci nodded; he simply couldn't live without Ji Wanwan.
Qianxi straightened her shawl, stood up, and sighed.
"What is it about her that you like?"
Qianxi had investigated Ji Wanwan; she was very ordinary, with nothing particularly outstanding about her, except that she was good-looking.
"Mother, I will handle it, you don't need to worry about it."
"How are you going to handle this? Don't you know about the Romanov family's powerful background?"
Qianxi advised that there was no need to provoke them for the sake of a woman.
It could put you in a desperate situation.
Gu Qingci remained silent. Kolov's power was indeed beyond his ability to deal with, but he would take Ji Wanwan back as long as there was even the slightest chance.
“Mother, believe me, I will bring her back,” Gu Qingci said stubbornly.
Qianxi shook her head and immediately refused, not wanting Gu Qingci to have anything to do with the Romanov family.
"no!"
“You’ve always done whatever you want since you were little, but this time, you have to listen to me.”
Gu Qingci looked at her in confusion. Qianxi had never interfered with any of his decisions, yet now she wanted to stop him.
"Sorry, you can't stop me."
Qianxi looked at his determined eyes and felt helpless, as if she had already guessed his decision.
She took off the necklace from her neck; it was a translucent, thin, silver-gray collarbone chain.
The pendant is a simple, curved metal strip with a delicate surface and a glossy texture, as if it were cut open from a ring and then processed.
She handed the necklace to Gu Qingci: "Go to Igor Palace, he might be able to help you."
Gu Qingci didn't know what other helpers Qianxi had, but he didn't need them.
Gu Qingci did not accept it. Qianxi had never taken off this necklace since he was born.
It's clear that this is very precious to her.
"Need not."
Qianxi gently tapped his forehead: "You child, why are you so disobedient..."
But she felt more helpless. On the one hand, she didn't want to have anything to do with the Romanov family, and on the other hand, she didn't want Gu Qingci to follow in her footsteps.
Finally, Qianxi relented: "Fine, you decide for yourself."
Gu Qingci gave a faint "hmm".
After seeing Qianxi off, Gu Qingci leaned against the balcony, the cool night breeze ruffling his black hair as he reminisced about his encounter, acquaintance, and growing friendship with Ji Wanwan during their university years.
A doting smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
A sudden downpour pulled him back to reality, and distant lightning flashed deafeningly.
Gu Qingci couldn't help but frown; it seemed even the heavens were against him.
But he was determined to take Ji Wanwan back!
*
When Ji Wanwan woke up again, it was already dark in Russia.
She was awakened by the pain of swelling and burning in her ankle, and found that Kolov was gently changing her dressing.
The doctor was supposed to change her clothes, but seeing that Ji Wanwan was sleeping so soundly, Kolov did it himself.
Ji Wanwan struggled to pick up a pillow and put it behind her, watching Kolov's cautious demeanor.
I just found it laughable.
If he hadn't broken it, none of this would have happened!
And it caused her so much pain.
Ji Wanwan picked up her phone and realized she had slept for another three hours.
Kolov looked up and noticed Ji Wanwan: "Awake?"
"I was woken up by the pain!" Ji Wanwan said irritably.
Kolov's hand unconsciously became much lighter, as if afraid of hurting her again.
Ji Wanwan glanced at the table; there were more documents than she had in high school. Was he going to work here all the time?
No!
Ji Wanwan inwardly refused.
After Kolov finished bandaging her ankle, Ji Wanwan's ankle pain gradually subsided, and she asked, "You're not going to stay here forever, are you?"
Kolov chuckled: "If you want to."
Ji Wanwan waved her hand, she didn't want to, not at all.
"Then you probably won't be here tonight..." Ji Wanwan couldn't move her legs, so there was no point in trying to get her to do anything.
Kolov got close to Ji Wanwan, how could he not see through her little scheme?
His fingertips traced the back of Ji Wanwan's hand, and his breath brushed against her ear as he leaned down.
"Then you'll be disappointed."
"I will not only be here, but I will also do your favorite things."
