He paused, thought for a moment, but still didn’t take the suit. After putting on the one he had, he closed the closet door and walked out. Before leaving, he glanced at Yu Wei’s bedroom door and, knowing Miss Yu wasn’t awake, didn’t say goodbye. He closed the door, straightened his wrinkled shirt and suit pants, and took the elevator all the way down to the underground parking lot. He got in the car and started it. The bright white headlights lit up in the still dim and quiet parking lot, with white and red lights intertwining on the dashboard. Everything was smooth, but just as he was about to drive away, a tall figure emerged from the darkness, raised his eyes, and glanced at the moonlight blue Porsche, then stepped forward to knock on the window. Feng Chengjin turned his gaze, pressed the glass sliding button, looked up and down, and raised an eyebrow, "Young Master Liang?" Liang Yichao really felt like he was in a mess. Last night Yu Wei, with a big, bold "get lost," made him resolve not to go back home unless he saw Yu Wei today. So, putting up with the cold downstairs all night was nothing. For those of them who hit nightclubs all the time, staying up all night wasn’t a big deal. During those years when he pursued Yu Wei the hardest, he often climbed walls and windows in the middle of the night, only to be dragged by the ears and beaten by the parents of both families. Yet, even though he sent text messages to Yu Wei all night, she didn’t respond. As dawn was breaking, he planned to persist a little longer so that once Yu Yuanshen left, he’d go up. But as he was dozing on the motorcycle, he heard a cheerful bark. The sound, similar to Demon’s bark, made Young Master Li and his friends exchange glances, then when they heard Yu Yuanshen talking with Miss Gu, they were so scared they dashed into the emergency exit without another thought. That dash took them to the underground parking lot. Thinking he’d wait another ten minutes for Yu Yuanshen to completely leave before going up. But in less than two minutes, he saw Feng Chengjin gracefully coming down. Liang Yichao was already bewildered by Feng Chengjin appearing at this hour. Seeing Feng Chengjin’s obvious just-got-out-of-bed look, tidying his clothes as he walked, with those pants full of wrinkles... Liang Yichao nearly felt like he had seen a ghost. Liang Yichao didn’t speak and stepped forward with wide eyes, looking on in earnest for insight. Feng Chengjin noticed his stare fixed on his pants, and couldn’t help but smile, "What does Young Master Liang mean by staring at me ?" Feng Chengjin was older and of higher status than Liang Yichao, who was surprised that Feng Chengjin even knew him, but naturally, he didn’t dare let someone of Feng Chengjin’s level call him "Master." But since the situation was unexpected, Liang Yichao didn’t treat Feng Chengjin as an outsider. He leaned on the car window with one arm, pulled out a cigarette pack from his pocket, and handed it to Feng Chengjin, looking devoted like good brothers sharing joys, "President Feng, can you give me some advice?" Feng Chengjin declined, saying, "Thanks, but I don’t smoke." This friendly gesture made him pause, pulling back his hand, he asked, "What advice?" Liang Yichao immediately replied, "Come on, President Feng, don’t hide it from me. I like Yu Wei, even Yu doesn’t let me in the door, how could he let you in? And stay over?" Hearing this, Feng Chengjin understood the cause and effect, chuckled, thinking to say he stayed unintentionally. But at the moment of speaking, he recalled the culprit who disturbed all his good fortune in the morning, then looked at the various hard-to-access security barriers where Gu Zixuan refused to move away... Suddenly, something mischievous glimmered in his deep Mo Tong eyes... He paused, glanced at Liang Yichao beside him, and curved his lips, "Actually, it’s not hard, for example, you could start by gifting a dog that Miss Yu likes..." "A dog?" Liang Yichao was stunned for a moment. Feng Chengjin smiled and nodded affirmatively, "Miss Yu really likes dogs." Liang Yichao frowned. Although Yu Wei likes dogs, it might increase the odds of wooing her, but would it make it possible to sleep with Yu Wei? Seeing he still didn’t get it, Feng Chengjin lightly chuckled and beckoned with a finger, whispering a sentence into Liang Yichao’s ear. "Yu Yuanshen doesn’t like them." After saying this, Feng Chengjin smiled wickedly, reversed the car, and drove off. The moonlight blue Porsche sped away like the wind. Young Master Li came running back, breathless, glanced at the luxury car driving past, and paused in surprise. Then he quickly ran to Liang Yichao’s side, saying, "Second Master, President Yu took Miss Gu to Jiangbin Park for a morning run and to walk the dog, so there must be no one in the house now!" Liang Yichao pulled the cigarette pack from his pocket, took one and put it in his mouth, and as he watched the blue silhouette of the luxury car recede, he understood what Feng Chengjin meant. A look of amazement and admiration lit up in his eyes as he couldn’t help but feel this was a brilliant move, lighting up, then looking at the rooftop, he chuckled and puffed out smoke. Not convenient to come and sleep, is it? No worries, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. At that moment, he directed Young Master Li, "Go, send me the photos of everyone in the circle who keeps a dog, and don’t bother if it’s not the best breed!" "Dog?" Young Master Li and the two hotties exchanged glances, wondering if Second Master had waited all night and grown foolish, why not take this chance to go find Miss Yu, instead of looking for a dog? Outside the Jinyue Zijing Mansion, walking about a kilometer north, you arrive at the riverside. Rong City, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with a river winding through the middle, is an incredibly beautiful coastal city. In Jiangbin Park, Gu Zixuan and Yu Yuanshen jogged along the boulevard where the maple trees had started turning red. Yu Yuanshen was holding Demon. Demon was even more excited to be outside, naturally, if not for Yu Yuanshen’s strong arm tightly gripping this little troublemaker, who knows where he would have been dragged off to. After jogging a lap, as they slowed to a walk, Yu Yuanshen looked at Gu Zixuan who seemed overly quiet today and smiled, "Why are you so quiet today?" In Gu Zixuan’s mind was the sudden and unexpected scene from the morning. The overly familiar feeling made her heart unable to settle even now. Why was it ? How could she feel that she once had relations with Feng Chengjin? And it felt as if it happened more than once. The intimacy, the pounding impulse and affection, akin to love, made her feel as if she was back eight years ago, when she fell in love with He Qimo. But, how could anything have happened between her and Feng Chengjin! Had she liked Feng Chengjin so much deep down that she started making excuses for herself? Gu Zixuan’s thoughts were scattered, feeling embarrassed. Hearing Yu Yuanshen’s words, she lifted her gaze. In the morning light, Brother Yu’s expression was gentle, his running attire, accompanying her, seemed even more comforting than hot spring water. So, for a moment, looking at Brother Yu, she felt more conflicted inside. What should she do? Now, if she said she wasn’t biased towards Feng Chengjin in her heart, even she wouldn’t believe it. But she had clearly agreed to Brother Yu first, isn’t going back on her word bad? Moreover... a person like Feng Chengjin, even if she liked him, what could come of it? Could there be an outcome? She wasn’t sure, so looking at the man in front of her, who she might have a stable marriage with if she just took a step closer, she felt even more conflicted. If she refused, how to put it into words? How could she minimize the damage to Brother Yu? If she didn’t refuse, how would she choose? ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelFirｅ.net Was she really going to give up on this man, who with just a glance promised the stable life she wanted, to impulsively chase after love again like she did eight years ago? Gu Zixuan felt like she was crazy, as if someone had stabbed her with a knife and she didn’t even feel the pain, still fantasizing that at her age, she could fall in love like a young girl, as if she were under Feng Chengjin’s spell. Gu Zixuan didn’t speak, so Yu Yuanshen couldn’t help but wave in front of her eyes. "Hey, lost in thought?" Gu Zixuan was stunned, came to her senses, and shook her head, she smiled, "No, just not fully awake yet." Seeing that it was just past six o’clock, then looking at the little dog frequently trying to run ahead, Yu Yuanshen sighed, smiled a bit helplessly, and said, "Yeah, this dog is too much trouble, it’s indeed a bit early." Gu Zixuan gave a faint smile, "How about I take the lead, you’re tired." "Forget it." Looking at Demon, who got excitedly wagging its tail when passing a child, his wrist tightened, pulling it back, he said, "With this personality, I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold it." Yu Yuanshen’s tone was exasperated, causing Gu Zixuan to let out a soft laugh. Gu Zixuan, with her ponytail and a face radiant like sunshine, looked beautiful, making Yu Yuanshen’s lips curl into a smile. At the moment, the two continued to stroll in Jiangbin Park. Eventually, when both were tired and resting on a bench, Gu Zixuan looked at the gentle man beside her, who had thoughtfully helped care for Demon the whole way, now in a resigned tone cleaning up after Demon’s little accident. Thinking of her earlier indecision, she felt she had found a shallow answer in her heart. Forget it, no matter what, her heart had lost its balance, she had already kissed Feng Chengjin, continuing to deceive Brother Yu wouldn’t be fair to him. Find an appropriate time to lay everything out. As for what happens afterward... whether Brother Yu is willing to wait for her once her heart is uncontrollably lost is his choice. She can’t deceive anyone. Gu Zixuan was pondering when would be best to be honest with Brother Yu, what way, what words to use, most importantly, how to say it. In the distance, someone who had been trailing them all along looked at the scene of them sitting on a bench playing with the dog, and with a slight smile, raised a camera, capturing that moment with a click.
