At dawn, Gu Zixuan woke up from her dream. The sweet sleep reminded her of how Feng Chengjin couldn’t resist texting her as soon as he got back last night, chatting with her for almost two hours until she said, "If you keep chatting, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go to work tomorrow." That’s when the man paused for a long time and sent a message saying, "Good night." And now, just opening her eyes, she saw the status of the newly arrived text message. She swiped the screen, reading the message that brought a slight curve to her lips, "Good morning, are you up?" She smiled, pursed her lips, and replied, "I’m up." Then she got up to take a shower, tidied up, and on the way poured dog food into the bowls of Demon and Er Gouzi. She picked up Demon, whom she hadn’t had time to care for overnight, and played affectionately for a while. Finally, she looked at Er Gouzi’s silly and jealous face and sighed. She looked at the dog tag of "Er Gouzi," found some pliers, and clipped it off. Then she took a piece of cardboard, pondered for a while, wrote "Angela" on it, and then, though uncertain, she looked at the silly and adorable little husky bitch, stroked her head, attached the cardboard, and played affectionately for a while too, before putting Demon and Angela together, and took them to Yu Wei’s bedroom. In the bedroom, Yu Wei was still sleeping, facing the state of two dogs jumping onto the bed and pinning her down fiercely. Yu Wei screamed, almost wishing she could replace the dogs with Liang Yichao, at least Liang Yichao could make her comfortable, instead of being squashed and licked and having her head barked off. Sitting up straight, Yu Wei was utterly depressed. Gu Zixuan looked at Yu Wei, apologetically, "Weiwei, I need to go to work, this morning you’ll have to take the dogs for a walk." Yu Wei sighed, resigned to her fate, and nodded. She pressed Demon and the newly named Angela under the blanket, "Be good, accompany your sister for another half-hour then I’ll take you out." However, Demon and Angela, in their dog-biting state, couldn’t understand what Yu Wei was saying. Right then, their excited morning walk routine made the big and small dog, the male and female dog, start playing and tumbling around on Yu Wei’s bed, barking incessantly. Yu Wei was extremely frustrated. Lying on her back, Yu Wei had only one thing on her mind. Damn Liang Yichao, damn Liang Yichao, damn Liang Yichao. Important matters are said three times. Gu Zixuan returned to her room to change clothes, put on a white dress from the Victoria Beckham early autumn collection, paired it with a jacket of the same color, and applied light makeup. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel•fire.net Her makeup was bright, and looking this way, although it wasn’t a professional suit, it had a bit of flair. Wearing high heels, she looked at herself in the mirror and couldn’t help but chuckle softly. Graduated six years, once, during her university days, she thought of becoming a woman who loved her career on Wall Street one day, but unfortunately, a marriage pushed her to be a homemaker. First day at work, no interview, no file, not even basic employee training, directly parachuted in as a director, could she do it? She wasn’t quite sure, her professional knowledge was okay, but managing a team could be a big question mark. Only Feng Chengjin and she had this one way to save themselves... She didn’t think too much, shook her head, put on her watch and pearl drop earrings, necklace, tidied her half-wavy dark brown long hair, and then picked up her handbag ready to go out. Only during the process of grabbing her phone did she discover another message from Feng Chengjin. "Wait for me at Miss Yu’s house, I’ll pick you up for work." The message was from 45 minutes ago. "..." Gu Zixuan’s face turned red instantly, she couldn’t describe her feelings at the moment. Speechless, she wanted to type "No need," but before she could send it, the phone rang again. "Hello, are you ready? You’re not having breakfast, are you?" On the phone, Feng Chengjin’s voice was very clear, probably because he often used mouthwash, with a faint mint scent. Gu Zixuan’s face reddened more, looking at her image today, she wasn’t sure if she should say she was ready or start over. Downstairs, in the white Porsche GTS, Feng Chengjin checked his watch and glanced at the upstairs location, saying, "What’s up? Still not ready?" Gu Zixuan, speechless, pursed her lips, thinking he might have been waiting a long time, she could only say, "No, I’m ready, and I haven’t had breakfast." "That’s good, let’s have breakfast together before going to work." Feng Chengjin said casually. Gu Zixuan was moved by this routine and had an indescribable feeling, nodded slightly, "Okay, I’m coming down." Feng Chengjin hung up, put down the phone. Gu Zixuan pursed her lips, speechless, brushed off some blush from her face, removed some lipstick, trying to make her makeup look more natural, and then left the house. Just before leaving, passing by the ground floor bedroom. Her heart faintly trembled. Since that day... Brother Yu had almost stopped coming over, not even a call in a day. He said he’s fine with waiting for her decision, but in reality, she must have hurt him, right? She thought about the promise she once made to Brother Yu, saying she’d accept him after she got divorced. She truly felt like the biggest liar in the world... Lowering her eyes, she closed the door and went downstairs with a faint sense of loss. The elevator reached the first floor, and she walked out. At this moment, under the morning sunlight, many young people in the neighborhood had already gotten up for work. So, the man leaning against the white Porsche in a suit looked even more handsome. Especially with Feng Chengjin’s handsome features, his tall and fit body, and his noble demeanor with every move... it drew nearly all the passersby to look. If it weren’t for him being much more handsome in real life than in magazines, the chance of being recognized would probably be as high as 100%. Feng Chengjin was playing with his phone, and upon hearing the sound of high heels, he lifted his gaze. At the moment he saw her, his dark eyes scanned her up and down, and when the slight amazement gathered deep in his eyes, he smiled completely. With that smile, Gu Zixuan naturally knew what he was smiling about. Instantly forgetting about her previous low spirits, her face blushed crimson with shame. Feng Chengjin opened the car door for her, "Get in." Seeing the hustle and bustle in the neighborhood, even though people here didn’t know her, that feeling... Gu Zixuan quickly got in, and Feng Chengjin leaned in to fasten her seatbelt before moving to the driver’s seat on the other side. After getting in the car and fastening the seatbelt, the smile on Feng Chengjin’s lips never faded. Gu Zixuan’s face grew redder, she turned her head sideways and asked in an uncertain voice, "What are you smiling about?" Feng Chengjin’s eyes swept over her deliberately refined makeup today and then to the watch he gave her yesterday that she wore, the smile on his lips deepened, "Nothing, you look pretty." Seeing that he was indeed referring to that matter, Gu Zixuan felt as though she would die of embarrassment. And such a topic couldn’t be explained away, only getting more awkward the more she tried. Instantly, she could only helplessly lean against the car window, letting him misunderstand. Gu Zixuan’s profile was gentle and beautiful, without makeup, she was pure and elegant, with makeup, she was radiant. While driving, Feng Chengjin occasionally glanced at her, the smile on his lips growing even warmer. For breakfast, Feng Chengjin also chose a place with a good reputation and relatively quiet ambiance. Seemingly understanding that Gu Zixuan’s temperament always favored warmth and tranquility, surrounded by no one, in a place decorated with ink paintings on screens, Feng Chengjin lowered his gaze, serving porridge for Gu Zixuan. Early porridge was served with over a dozen small dishes, each portion not large but very exquisite. However, no matter how exquisite the presentation, it couldn’t surpass Feng Chengjin’s attentive actions. As a result, a few nearby waiters couldn’t help but frequently glance over at them, whispering softly. "Look at that man, he’s so handsome." "Yeah, is the woman opposite him his wife? Look how he’s taking care of her..." "I’m so envious, I’m gonna die of envy." "..." Gu Zixuan’s heart was truly about to die of embarrassment too, especially when Feng Chengjin handed something to her, not knowing whether intentionally or deliberately, he first tested the temperature with his lips before passing it to her. "It’s not hot anymore." "..." Looking at the cutlery just touched by Feng Chengjin’s lips, even though he didn’t drink from it... Gu Zixuan was utterly torn between anger and shyness, unsure of what to do. Seeing Gu Zixuan not taking it, Feng Chengjin just held it, smiling and gazing steadily at her. Until Gu Zixuan could no longer bear his gaze and the whispers of those nosy waiters around them. "Did they have a fight? Why isn’t she taking it?" "Yeah, take it! It’s making me anxious; he’s such a handsome man." Gu Zixuan silently took the bowl. Holding it, she suddenly felt like retaliating or teasing him, so she took a full spoonful and directly placed it into her mouth. After she’d finished drinking all of it, she returned both the spoon and the bowl to him, "It doesn’t taste good." Feng Chengjin raised an eyebrow, his dark eyes glanced at Gu Zixuan’s actions and suddenly understood something. In the next moment, he pursed his lips and smiled, took it back, and immediately, using the spoon Gu Zixuan had used, started eating, "Not bad, it’s quite tasty." In an instant, Gu Zixuan’s face turned directly from red to a deep purple. And the little deer inside her heart, crashing wildly, just wished it could bite someone.
