Gu Zixuan’s eyes trembled, dazed. Yu Yuanshen turned around, the smile on his lips mixed with a heartache that even Gu Zixuan found sorrowful, "Zixuan, have you already divorced?" The sudden question left Gu Zixuan shocked, completely unsure of how Brother Yu guessed it. However, thinking of Brother Yu who cared for her down to every detail of her life... Heartbroken, she instinctively nodded, but quickly, she met Yu Yuanshen’s instantly darkened eyes and shook her head, "But I didn’t tell anyone, what happened that day has nothing to do with the divorce." Upon hearing the explanation, a bit of relief returned to Yu Yuanshen’s eyes, which had been silent for days. Regrettably, this relief came quickly but left even faster, and soon, a greater self-mockery flooded his gaze. "He doesn’t know you’ve divorced, yet that’s enough for you both to lose control to this extent?" "..." Gu Zixuan’s heart ached, a pain sharp as a knife, yet she couldn’t utter a word. Lowering her eyes, she pressed her lips tightly, unsure how to explain, perhaps whatever she said would be meaningless. After a pause, as if sensing he was pushing her too hard, realizing she wasn’t that kind of person, and seeing the sorrow in her eyes... After all... she had loved Feng Chengjin, and it was only a matter of time before she liked Feng Chengjin’s temperament. He spoke, "Have you made up your mind?" Gu Zixuan was taken aback, shaking her head, "No." Yu Yuanshen seemed comforted as he curved his lips slightly and said, "So, don’t tell me anything, I don’t want to hear, I don’t want to witness the process..." A pause, as if making a difficult decision from his breath, he uttered a few words, "I only want the result." Then. He slowly turned around and continued walking the dog. Gu Zixuan’s body trembled, she lifted her lashes to quietly look at the figure ahead. In an instant, tears flooded her eyes. On the way back, the silence between the two deepened, Yu Yuanshen treated her as usual, but occasionally he would suddenly stop his hand and then quietly pause for a moment before retracting it. This kind of restraint made Gu Zixuan’s guilt-stricken tears well up even more deeply. Many times, she wanted to abruptly call Feng Chengjin and say forget it, let’s cut it clean. After careful consideration, she felt she couldn’t marry him and told him not to cling to her either, and then see how to properly handle her divorce issue and live honestly with Brother Yu. But looking at Brother Yu’s sorrowful eyes, she felt that what Brother Yu wanted might not be just that. Thinking of this word, she suddenly felt pain, felt that her heart was quite disappointing, why couldn’t she like Brother Yu, if she had fallen for him sooner, perhaps he wouldn’t be so pained and things wouldn’t have developed to this extent. Gu Zixuan said nothing, her lowered gaze too sorrowful. Yu Yuanshen’s radiant gaze periodically fell on her. Until a light ripple in his heart, he could vaguely guess her thoughts. As the elevator ascended, he slowly held her palm and said, "Zixuan, don’t let your heart be so kind. Matters of the heart are , I know you’re grateful and repay kindness, you’ll remember those who treat you well. Your starting point must be not wanting to hurt anyone, but... emotions are selfish; no matter whom you choose, the other will be hurt the deepest." Gu Zixuan’s lashes trembled slightly. "Moreover... we’re no longer young and naive. We’ve both been divorced and know that marriage isn’t just about love. I don’t oppose you interacting with him, but if you ever feel that you two aren’t actually suitable, if he can’t give you the marriage you want, then come back, okay..." Gu Zixuan felt touched, immediately tears welled up in her eyes, her body trembled slightly as she said, "Brother Yu..." Yu Yuanshen chuckled lightly, watching Gu Zixuan’s quivering, he turned and gently embraced her face-to-face. As his lips brushed against her hair, he said, "I naturally hope that while I like you, you also like me. If you can’t do that, then don’t reject my affection for you. It makes me sad that you like another, but excluding me from your life because of that liking would be the greatest injury to me..." "...Zixuan, the happiest thing I can imagine is marrying you." His gentle words, coupled with the restraint above, made Gu Zixuan’s tears instantly well up and spill over. Holding his waist, she buried her head in his chest, tears rampant. Yu Yuanshen embraced her body with a gentle smile but said nothing. Until the elevator dinged, reaching the top floor. Yu Yuanshen led her hand and returned home. When she went to freshen up, he went to make breakfast. In the bathroom, when the water sprayed, wetting her face and hair, thinking of Brother Yu’s last words, her heart felt a faint tremble. "If you truly like him, then try to reach out. Anyway, if it were someone else, I might not understand, but if it’s him... he likes you so much and clings so tightly, it’s normal you can’t help but be moved. But if during the process, you find he can’t protect you, or you feel the liking is too hard and want to give up, then come back to me, anytime, anywhere, as long as you want, as long as I’m here." For a moment, she understood that Brother Yu was truly beyond words in his kindness; in this lifetime, she might never be able to repay him adequately. Yet, on the other hand, she was curious. Why... He Qimo fretted over, Brother Yu also fretted over, what exactly did Feng Chengjin do? Why couldn’t Brother Yu figure it out when it comes to others, but he could understand himself liking her? Why, for He Qimo, anyone was fine except Feng Chengjin? On the fifth day, Gu Zixuan was summoned by Feng Chengjin to Fengyi Building on business. Entering the office, she saw the man leaning on the leather chair by the window making a phone call, her emotions stirred uncontrollably, she gathered her gaze. Feng Chengjin was in a dark blue suit paired with a white shirt, holding the phone with one hand, handsome beyond compare, he leaned back in the leather chair conversing. "I’ve looked at the personnel change plan from the HR department, no objections, just proceed according to adjustments. By the way, implement the seasonal stock dividends quickly..." Seeing Gu Zixuan, he paused, mouthed a smile and said, ’Wait a moment.’ Then continued turning his head to give instructions. Gu Zixuan waited for about 2 minutes, until Feng Chengjin finished instructing everything and hung up the phone, before raising her gaze. Feng Chengjin also lifted his eyes, under the autumn morning light, the first look he gave was very warm. Looking Gu Zixuan up and down, he pulled out a box from the drawer beside him, walked towards her, then pointed to the sofa area, softly said, "Come over." Then he took the lead towards the sofa. Sitting down, he didn’t sit close to her, instead choosing a single-seat sofa, then pushed the box along the tabletop towards her. "Been on a business trip for a few days, so didn’t contact you, brought a gift for you, take a look." Feng Chengjin smiled, his smile very warm and captivating. Gu Zixuan’s heart trembled slightly, she opened it. In view was a gold snake-shaped watch from Bulgari, SERPENTI series. She had seen it in a magazine a year ago; based on the exchange rate at that time, this watch cost about 230,000 RMB in Switzerland, and the one Feng Chengjin gave, besides being gold-plated, was almost entirely encrusted with diamonds, clearly a top-tier model with a likely higher price. Her lashes moved slightly, she looked at him, said nothing. Feng Chengjin stared at her expression, turned his head, "What? Don’t like it?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ɴovelfire.net Gu Zixuan shook her head, "It’s not that I don’t like it, just wondering why you give me something so expensive." Gu Zixuan initially wanted to refuse, considering it too valuable, plus the issues with Brother Yu in recent days made her mood less good, not wanting to be too familiar with Feng Chengjin. Unexpectedly, before her fingertips moved, Feng Chengjin’s lips curled suddenly, without considering much, directly took it from the watch box, pulled over her wrist, and put it on forcefully. Feng Chengjin’s dominance always came unexpectedly. Her heart trembled slightly, when the gold snake-shaped watch encircled her wrist, Gu Zixuan lowered her gaze. Instead of looking more at the watch itself, she glanced at the color, then from the wrist, glanced towards Feng Chengjin holding her hand firmly in his palm without letting go. With interlocked fingers, she could effortlessly feel the dry warmth of his palm. Despite her reason having advised her countless times not to be too moved, emotional nature still surrendered at this moment. Facing someone’s appearance after a few days, her heart felt a joy that couldn’t be contained. Faced with his unabashed affection, her mood was even more uncontrollable. Feeling shy, also feeling that she’s hopelessly infatuated. Lowering her gaze, she didn’t know how to manage her emotions right now. Feng Chengjin gazed at her slender fair wrist a few times, until he slightly tilted his lips, looked deeply at her. Meeting each other’s eyes, his dark eyes were too profound, so much so that Gu Zixuan saw thousands of brilliant stars at the bottom of them. Leaning forward, Gu Zixuan thinking of a memory from a few days ago, thought he was going to do something, she slightly leaned back. Unexpectedly, Feng Chengjin just approached and pulled over her other hand. When holding both her hands, he gazed at her tension. A sudden smile, he stood upright, borrowed strength to pull her up, then placed a hand on her waist, said: "Let’s go, to the meeting."
