In the bedroom, Gu Zixuan waited quietly. After a while, He Qimo arrived, and when the call connected, he said coldly and deeply, "I’m not coming up; come down." Gu Zixuan frowned, puzzled. But thinking about their relationship now, it’s impossible for him to stay overnight at the Gu Family, so she nodded, picked up her keys, and said, "Okay." She went out, changed out of her slippers at the entrance, and went downstairs. Downstairs, beside the black Maybach, were all the cigarette butts He Qimo had smoked and tossed away. Gu Zixuan glanced over and approached, softly saying, "Could you not smoke?" Her voice was very faint; actually, considering the chaos between them, she really wished she didn’t have to deal with He Qimo anymore. But humans are strange creatures; when facing a dead end, even the most stubborn personality will soften. Especially when thinking about Zixi’s uncertain future... And recalling He Qimo’s restrained words, "The last time..." She took a deep breath, trying to make a concession by showing concern for He Qimo. However, these words fell into He Qimo’s ears with a different interpretation. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on N()velFire.net He Qimo’s fingertips trembled, thinking of someone who never smoked, suddenly replaced by waves of emotions after speeding over, telling himself to hold back. Mo Tong stiffened, looking at her with unfamiliar confusion, until the cigarette burned down to his fingertips, scorching him, and he snapped back to reality. He threw away the cigarette, clenched his fist, and at that moment, uncontrollable anger swept through his mind. He grabbed Gu Zixuan’s wrist, pulling her a few steps and pinning her against the wall. The abrupt move made Gu Zixuan perplexed, especially when locking eyes with him, his eyes were crimson red, cold and icy. "Where did you go during the time before you sprained your foot? With whom?" At night, Gu Zixuan listened, briefly stunned. After three seconds, staring at the judgment in his eyes, hers disbelief, "What do you mean by this?" Trembling, He Qimo looked at the bewilderment and clarity in Gu Zixuan’s autumn eyes with a bit of softness, wanting to believe her, but recalling a past event, a nameless humiliation spread from his heart. Coldly, he pressed further, "I’m asking you, who took you away the day you left the He Family? Where were you during the last week when you disappeared, alone or with someone..." Gu Zixuan couldn’t speak, "..." He Qimo said more coldly, "Was it Feng Chengjin? Did you contact him first, or did he contact you first? Were you staying at his villa?" Gu Zixuan remained speechless, "..." Finally, He Qimo paused, gritting his teeth, "Also, did you sleep with him..." At the end of his sentence, He Qimo almost forced it out from his throat... But in Gu Zixuan’s eyes, there was only trembling, fright, and palpitations. A hundred emotions interwoven. She paused, and with a "slap," she struck his face. In the air, Gu Zixuan’s eyes reddened as she shouted, "He Qimo, are you crazy!" He Qimo was slapped, turning his face to the side briefly, he turned back, clutching her shoulders, he yelled, "Yes! I’m crazy! Gu Zixuan, with so many men in the world, why betray with him! Why must it be him!" Ling Lie made Gu Zixuan’s heart shatter wave after wave, watching the commotion in the neighborhood as people opened windows to observe below. Gu Zixuan’s heart trembled, her eyes trembled, her lips trembled, her fingertips trembled... Finally, she resigned herself to nod with a smile, holding back the tears in her eyes, brushed back her messy hair, and pushed past He Qimo’s body, turning away toward the garage. With the keychain hanging the car key, she pressed to open the garage door and got in the car. As she stepped on the accelerator to drive away, He Qimo finally realized something, quickly rushing forward to try and stop the car. In the night, his figure in a black suit appeared tall and stern. However, it couldn’t match Gu Zixuan’s swift foot on the accelerator. He Qimo chased a few steps, the vehicle driving away. Looking at the neighborhood that had already alarmed the several households, thinking of his earlier shouted words, his heart trembled, his fingers clenched in regret as he scrunched his hair. He paused, kicking the garbage can beside him in anger. The whole neighborhood was silent with no one speaking. But He Qimo knew that such shouting, everyone could hear, from tomorrow the Gu Family would endure more hardship, becoming a topic for idle chatter and ridicule in elite circles. The thing Gu Zixuan cared most about had been ruined by him... She now has no road left, burdened with infamy. Gu Zixuan was driving, tears streaming as she sped away, she opened the GPS, instinctively entering an area on the outskirts of Pinghu District. Her trembling fingers caused her to enter it unsuccessfully several times. Until the tears spread out, she gave up on the GPS, relying solely on memory to find the way. The accelerator sped up fast, before ascending the overpass, recklessly ran a red light. With one step on the accelerator, the questions from He Qimo about her and Yu Yuanshen’s were clear in her ears. With two steps on the accelerator, He Qimo’s cold eyes regarding her and Qiu Mingyan’s were clearly visible. Finally, with three steps on the accelerator, recalling his promise that day "Give me some time to sort things out, the last time..." Thinking again about what the whole neighborhood could hear earlier. Infidelity, going to bed... When those harsh words pierced her ears, it was as if her heart, stubborn to the extreme, was being cruelly dissected by a blade. Ha! Gu Zixuan let out a light laugh, paused, and suppressed the redness in her eyes, holding back a breath, she dialed Feng Chengjin’s number. After three rings, a voice came from the other side. In the deep of night, it sounded gentle, "Hello?" The cold tone puzzled Feng Chengjin for a moment, "Yeah." After a pause, before Gu Zixuan could speak, he couldn’t help but ask suspiciously, "What’s wrong? Are you crying?" Gu Zixuan took a deep breath, swallowed all the tremors back, and said: "No, nothing, in 20 minutes, come to the front door." "Hmm?" Feng Chengjin was puzzled. But before Feng Chengjin could reply, Gu Zixuan abruptly hung up. Tears surged forth, and what echoed in her mind was Feng Chengjin fighting for her, and then walking away, not disturbing her. When she reached Feng Chengjin’s vast villa area, he was standing at the door, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, hands in pockets. Under the night sky, it was hard to tell if it was the white shirt that made him look so gentle, or if Feng Chengjin usually didn’t give people pressure; in any case, he looked very calm. Seeing the car lights approaching from afar, he frowned slightly at the car’s speed. When Gu Zixuan parked the car, he bent down, leaning toward the lowered car window, "What’s wrong?" Gu Zixuan spoke, her tone still cold. Feng Chengjin pressed his lips together, unsure of what had happened, but still nodded, opened the car door, and got into the passenger seat. The car drove along the road towards the more remote mountainous areas. Throughout the journey, Gu Zixuan’s car went faster and faster. Until it was almost 15 kilometers out of the city suburbs, Feng Chengjin, seeing Gu Zixuan’s eyes occasionally turn red and silent tears fall, paused, looking at the sparsely populated scene ahead. Clearing his throat, he said, "If you’re planning to elope with me, at least give me a heads up; I didn’t bring my wallet or phone." Gu Zixuan was stunned for a moment, almost amused by Feng Chengjin’s teasing, forgetting her purpose for coming out. But given the current state, the greater grievance and sadness in her heart spread further. A quick turn, she parked the car on the emergency isolation lane in the mountainous area. When the car stopped, she pulled down the parking gear and pressed the handbrake. Her fingers trembled as she asked, "You don’t have a girlfriend now, do you?" Feng Chengjin was puzzled, frowning slightly, "No." "And you don’t have anyone you’re marrying, right?" "Do you have someone you like then?" Feng Chengjin frowned, "..." Just as he was about to ask what exactly she was trying to say, Gu Zixuan gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "Forget it!" Then suddenly unbuckled the seatbelt, leaned across the gear lever between them, and leaned onto Feng Chengjin’s chest. The abrupt movement caught Feng Chengjin completely off guard, especially with the sudden fragrance that hit. Gu Zixuan leaned in very close, wanting to kiss him. Especially remembering He Qimo’s every word, why did you cheat with Feng Chengjin! However, even if anger overwhelmed her, grievances multiplied, and she desperately wanted to simply embrace the future shame that would engulf her entire world, looking at those lips so close, her elbow propped on his shoulder, she couldn’t bring herself to do it. She leaned in, tried once, no use. Leaning in closer, almost nose to nose, still no use. Even though Feng Chengjin’s face was handsome, with outstanding charisma, combined with his charming features that could make any woman’s heart race, those deep, alluring Mo Tong eyes, drawing people in, those lips just the right thickness, seeing them would stir the urge to kiss. But she still couldn’t do it. Looking into the night, Feng Chengjin’s eyes, initially shocked, returned to their calm, deep blackness, and her eyes filled with even more tears. Contemplating her inexplicable adherence to morality, she found herself painfully laughable. After a moment, still unable, she gave a self-mocking smile, prepared to say "Sorry." as she moved to leave. In front of her, Feng Chengjin’s deep Mo Tong eyes, which had lingered for a long time, slightly narrowed, he stared at those nearly three to four centimeters apart lips that she had tried, but failed to kiss. With a slight pause, as Gu Zixuan intended to leave. He reached out his hand, one arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his embrace, the other hand buried in her hair, holding the back of her head, pressing her towards him. Their lips pressed tightly together.
