Gu Zixuan watched Feng Chengjin’s car leave, her eyes lowered, and her complex feelings did not dissipate. Looking at the two big bags in her hands, her mood became even more complicated. Is he always this generous with women? For a moment, despite never having done such a thing, Gu Zixuan couldn’t help but weigh and compare, look at the value, and think about the hesitation she had when swiping her card a few days ago. She deeply felt... did she spend too little? Yu Wei only met him once, and this adds up to nearly 100,000 yuan worth of gifts. She had spent so much time with him, and the project proposal she worked on passed with unanimous approval, currently undergoing committee review and assessment, project establishment, and evaluation. She should at least be able to help Feng Yi earn several seven-figure sums in the next five years. Looking at it this way, using one of his cards and swiping a bit seemed reasonable, so why did she foolishly return it to him? Why did he take back the card so quickly? Moreover, what irked her was... how come he knows to send flowers at the first meeting, and today, after all the hugging and kissing, he’s still thinking about Yu Wei. Gu Zixuan felt very uncomfortable. She couldn’t quite say what was off, but there was a sour feeling in her heart that she couldn’t articulate. When riding the elevator upstairs, Gu Zixuan kept thinking about this matter. Opening the door, she found Yu Wei, Yu Yuanshen, and Yu Youxuan there, plus an Asian-looking man she hadn’t seen before, but his tall and handsome appearance, coupled with the aura of a Warren, made one feel he wasn’t Chinese. Seeing Gu Zixuan come in, Yu Wei’s sharp eyes spotted the paper bag and raised an eyebrow, "What good stuff did you buy?" "For you." Since everyone was present, it was awkward for Gu Zixuan to mention it was a gift from Feng Chengjin. She tightened her expression in embarrassment, nodded at the man, and just handed it over. Yu Wei took it, glanced at it, and gave a meaningful smile, "Oh..." After all, with such a unique style, considering her ability to choose things , only a wealthy person who can achieve this level feels purely comfortable without any other romantic undertones. The depth made Gu Zixuan’s expression very stiff. Although it was a gift from Feng Chengjin to her and had nothing to do with her, it somehow felt a bit like an affair. She wanted to explain, but looking at the man, she couldn’t say it too bluntly. So, after a pause, she said, "From that friend last time, who said you wanted it last time, but it was out of stock; these two days, it was back in stock. The store clerk coincidentally called him, so he bought it for you." "Oh, which friend? How coincidental? Who is he?" The pretending-to-be-clueless tone made Gu Zixuan’s face instantly flush, "Weiwei..." Half-scolding, she uttered the words, then quickly changed into slippers and went upstairs. Yu Wei chuckled softly, amused, while the handsome man sitting next to her glanced at Gu Zixuan as she left. Yu Yuanshen gazed deeply and didn’t think much when his eyes fell on Gu Zixuan, knowing well what kind of woman she was, and even if Feng Chengjin gave it to her, she wouldn’t accept it. Besides, he had made things clear to her just days before; she wouldn’t fall for Feng Chengjin. But when his eyes landed on Yu Wei... he couldn’t help but frown. Yu Wei met Yu Yuanshen’s gaze, knowing full well that she should completely side with her brother on this matter. But thinking about that day when Liang Yichao helped investigate, and how it rattled her for three days... Liang Yichao called, instantly raising his voice by eight decibels, "What! Feng Chengjin!" Official source is novel⟡fire.net Yu Wei’s ears almost went numb from the noise. She nodded, "Yes, it’s him." Liang Yichao instantly laughed, "Godmother, are you kidding me? Who is Feng Chengjin? He’s the perennial single diamond bachelor who came out unstained from the mud within the circle. It’s said he hasn’t met a woman he likes in all these years of blind dates, and even if he did, it wouldn’t be someone like Miss Gu, a married woman." Yu Wei naturally knew it couldn’t be, with Feng Chengjin’s reputation in the circle, and even if she really paired Gu Zixuan with Feng Chengjin, she wouldn’t think otherwise, but considering the indistinct interaction between Feng Chengjin and Gu Zixuan... She said, "Anyway, it just feels like something’s off, weird." "Weird? How is it weird, my lovely little woman? Feng Chengjin’s romantic history is straightforward; before 26, he was only interested in making money. After 26, nobody knows what happened that year, but it’s said he once fell in love with a woman, apparently went to the United States to start a company for her, eventually returned to Rong City and underwent a series of upheavals. He didn’t marry for four years, and perhaps finding he couldn’t wait any longer, or the family pushed too hard, he started dating again. Even so, it was all superficial; I’ve never seen him genuinely moved by anyone." "I heard that the prosecutor’s daughter, after a blind date with him, once got drunk in a private room and talked about it. She said she had almost matched up with him, liked Feng Chengjin a lot, and he didn’t seem to outright reject her. But unexpectedly, at an event they attended together, Feng Chengjin, who was quite composed, saw someone on the lawn from a second-floor window, and his eyes lingered for a long time. It felt to her like his gaze was filled with sorrow and sadness. In the end, Feng Chengjin put down his wine glass, ignored her, skipped the banquet, left the billionaire host’s place, and never contacted her again. So tell me, can such a deeply emotional and capricious man, once he’s in love, obsessed with someone likely go for a married woman?" Liang Yichao was rambling on, but the more Yu Wei listened, the more tightly she furrowed her brows. Especially when she heard, "26 years old? Started a company in the United States?" Liang Yichao: "Yeah, it’s been about eight years now, I think." Upon hearing this word, Yu Wei was completely at a loss for words, not knowing how to describe the stormy emotions she felt inside. Linking up with the times she saw Feng Chengjin, it always seemed like Feng Chengjin’s gaze at Gu Zixuan was too deep... In an instant, Yu Wei wanted to say it couldn’t possibly be anyone else. Coming back to her senses, she looked at Yu Yuanshen in front of her. So what’s the deal now? Even though she really wanted to say, bro, you got this, you can easily beat someone with the fighting power of Feng Chengjin, she couldn’t utter a word. Perhaps Yu Wei’s eyes looked too sympathetic, making Yu Yuanshen frown, "What’s with that expression?" What other expression could there be! Yu Wei rolled her eyes dramatically, shaking the LV bag in her hand, and said in a mocking tone, "Hey, I’m just amazed at how some people know how to get along, while others are still hiding things from me like an outsider. Look at them, already sneaking into the circle of friends. Tsk tsk tsk, if you say there’s any woman who wouldn’t like it, I wouldn’t believe it! Learn from this, or else if you keep treating your own potato like it’s nothing, I might just switch sides." Thinking about her brother’s clueless demeanor, being around for so many years without knowing how to capitalize on his proximity, even keeping things from her... not knowing how to leverage resources. Yu Wei shot Yu Yuanshen a sharp look, feeling a bit of an "iron that can’t become steel" mood. Yu Yuanshen’s face froze awkwardly, lips twitching, turning his face away. On the stairs, Gu Zixuan was amused by the mention of potatoes, but hearing that Yu Wei also started misunderstanding, she felt a kind of weary sadness. But what made her even sadder was, as Yu Wei opened the bag with an excited, "Oh my, Youxuan, this is for you!" Gu Zixuan, really, thinking about it, couldn’t quite say where the sour feeling in her heart was coming from... Downstairs, Yu Yuanshen after finishing hosting, soon sent off Pei Yongyou, and went upstairs. The white lacquered wooden door of the piano looked beautiful, complementing Yu Yuanshen’s tall, slender frame, warm and jade-like presence. Gu Zixuan looked up, smiling gently, "Brother Yu." "Yeah." Since he was at home, Yu Yuanshen wore simple light gray loungewear pants and a white linen polo shirt, which made him look even more clean and approachable. However, thinking about the questions Yu Yuanshen was about to ask her, Gu Zixuan found it difficult to speak. As he approached her, Yu Yuanshen looked at her without hiding the doubts in his heart. Sitting down, his distance was always just right, making sure Gu Zixuan wouldn’t feel the atmosphere was too overbearing. "Did you go to see him today?" "How did it go?" Regarding Gu Zixuan’s inquiry with Feng Chengjin, Yu Yuanshen was also curious about the outcome. Although, Yu Yuanshen didn’t think Gu Zixuan would buy into Feng Chengjin’s tactics, so he wasn’t too concerned. In fact, Gu Zixuan indeed didn’t buy into it; no matter what he sent Yu Wei, it wasn’t for her anyway... But looking at Yu Yuanshen, Gu Zixuan still felt very conflicted. How should she explain to Yu Yuanshen that she really thought Feng Chengjin didn’t like her, but just enjoyed teasing her? Even she felt saying that out loud would make her sound borderline schizophrenic, right? So, eventually, Gu Zixuan pursed her lips and said, "Actually, not much happened. I didn’t manage to find out anything today, I tried probing him several times but got sidetracked because he had things come up, and he had other matters to attend to, so he sent me back early. I didn’t get any answers, so I’ll have to ask next time."
