Quickly taking it, she held back her blushing and said, "Who let you touch this?" Her words had no real force, and Feng Chengjin smiled slightly, saying, "I didn’t do it on purpose." In the pocket was Gu Zixuan’s private underwear, and what Feng Chengjin held by one corner was a pair of panties, white, lace... Gu Zixuan grabbed everything, her face flushed like hot iron, embarrassed not knowing where to put it. Feng Chengjin watched, a smile playing on his lips, his gaze unconsciously deepened. Moving closer, he almost instinctively wrapped one arm around Gu Zixuan’s waist. Her soft waist was scarcely able to be held in one hand. Gu Zixuan was slender, but that didn’t affect the fact that she had a great figure. Remembering the times she trembled and moaned softly in his arms, the memories surged in his mind, making his grip on her waist even tighter. Gu Zixuan keenly sensed Feng Chengjin’s response, particularly the dark tint of his eyes, filled from top to bottom with a man’s unique desire to conquer, as her body pressed so close to his. Her lower abdomen was just right... Her heart tightened, forehead slick with sweat. In her palms, clutching the pocket with the underwear, she couldn’t help but squeeze until her joints turned white. Gu Zixuan was very nervous, and Feng Chengjin naturally sensed her tension too. Unlike the turbulence on the plane or the excitement in the fitting room, it was simply, the intense feeling born from the solitude of a man and a woman alone... With mutual consent, all sparks fly... Honestly, Gu Zixuan did not refuse; looking at her expression, it seemed she didn’t want to refuse. But... leaning in slowly, he encircled her waist with both arms, drawing her ever closer into his chest. The last thread of rational restraint Feng Chengjin had was slipping away. Especially considering Gu Zixuan’s low mood over the days, and... her coming to him for help today. On the first day ... for her, it would more or less feel like a transaction, carrying a slight humiliation. So, in the end, regardless of how Feng Chengjin held her in his arms, he only leaned in, placed a shallow kiss on her forehead, then smiled and stepped away. Feng Chengjin turned to continue packing, taking care not to touch items that might stir his blood. His tall silhouette, doing everything with dignity and elegance. Even though he felt it was a charade, he thought he would need a cold shower later. Yet, standing still, Gu Zixuan clearly felt his reaction... and, watching his actions now, her eyes immediately gleamed. Amidst trembling, all was filled with the shimmering light of tears. She was a divorced woman, always troubling him, and truly had no right to demand such things from him, however, she wished for respect, the basic equality a woman deserves, which he gave her... In the end, Gu Zixuan wasn’t aware of how Feng Chengjin left. She only knew, faced with a man she was increasingly drawn into, her heart felt equally happy and pained. Feng Chengjin noticed her low spirits but didn’t know what the real issue was or how to console her. Thinking of Mrs. Zhou from the He Family, his eyes momentarily closed in contemplation. Looking at Gu Zixuan, he felt guilty for not searching further for her over the past eight years. The planned weekend visit to his home, he feared, might be difficult to bring up. Holding her close, he said, "Mrs. Xu will come in the morning; you sleep alone tonight, remember to lock all doors and windows. The Bentley needs a license plate, it’ll be a while before you can drive it back, but the Panamera is still parked downstairs. I have a meeting tomorrow, can’t pick you up, so if you need to work, you can drive that one." "Okay." Gu Zixuan lowered her head, her semi-long wavy hair falling over her shoulders. Feng Chengjin looked at her, gave a deep gaze, placed one last kiss on the crown of her head, and then turned to leave. As the sensation of him faded, when the door closed, Gu Zixuan returned to the sofa. She sat for a while, thinking about work tomorrow, then got up to sleep. At dawn, when Gu Zixuan drove the Porsche Panamera into Feng Yi’s underground parking lot, it instantly caused a stir. Everyone passing by gave her a knowing look. Gu Zixuan felt uneasy, especially since Feng Chengjin said this car was bought as a collector’s item, barely driven. No reason for the company to recognize it. In fact, the employees weren’t identifying whose car it was, but rather its price, questioning how much salary a specially appointed director like Gu Zixuan would need to drive such a luxury car. Gu Zixuan didn’t really mind, parked the car, and headed up via the staff elevator. Returning to the office, Xi Ruo, that somewhat mischievous little girl, came over with a smile. Her bright eyes were full of awe and admiration, "Director Gu, you’re really so amazing, wearing all those brand names, not to mention wearing such an expensive watch, even your car is so luxurious. You don’t know, after you walked around on Friday, everyone wanted to check out your watch and ask where you bought it and if it’s real." After all, it’s normal for women in the white-collar class to wear watches worth tens of thousands, and to dress in brand names, since the industry is thriving, and internet professionals all have high salaries, these prices are normal. At most, being a little extravagant, spending tens of thousands is possible. But, watches worth hundreds of thousands aren’t typical unless you’re at the very top of the social pyramid... Xi Ruo already thought Gu Zixuan was deep and unreachable, but didn’t expect today she’d drive a luxury car to dazzle everyone. Xi Ruo was excited, while Gu Zixuan was bewildered, not knowing how to respond. After all, She hadn’t experienced these office interactions, and didn’t think these prices were too high to accept. But one thing was clear, becoming the focus of attention in any environment isn’t good, especially in her current situation. Frowning slightly, nodding, she said, "The watch is a high imitation, the car is just for commuting convenience, rented from a car dealership. It’s nothing, alright, let’s work." Gu Zixuan remained calm and composed, thinking of being more mindful in the future. Xi Ruo was stunned, because, even a fool could tell from Gu Zixuan’s tone that she was dismissing the issue. This led to a feeling of extravagance beyond luxury creeping into Xi Ruo’s heart. There’s only one kind of person who speaks this way about high-priced items, and that is someone who fundamentally doesn’t mind it... On one side, Gu Zixuan quickly entered work mode. Meanwhile, in the break room, the women’s chatter had already begun. Perhaps because Musa often offended people. Women from several nearby departments were drinking water while occasionally glancing at Musa, who had been at the company for years and always appeared in brand names. Though their words didn’t explicitly state it, they all implied, "This Director Gu has quite a background, personally recommended by the deputy manager, parachuted in, and so wealthy, with good demeanor. She’s truly a standard among women." "Indeed, she wore a watch worth hundreds of thousands on her first day, and today came with a luxury sports car. I wonder if in a few days, upon checking assets, she’ll have several houses and villas under her name?" "Come on, a young woman , don’t you suspect she’s supported by someone behind the scenes?" An Ran, who followed Musa into the break room, spoke while pouring tea. Listening to this, Leng Tong couldn’t hold back, frowned and joined in. A woman from the legal department chuckled, sipped her floral tea, and said, "Assistant An, your words sound a bit gloomy, don’t they? If wearing brand names and driving luxury cars at a young age means being kept, then this company isn’t short of people being kept." Instantly, Musa, who was pouring tea, put down the teapot and turned back coldly. Beside her, several women realized that the woman overstepped, shrugged their bodies, and said, "Let’s go, let’s go." The woman from the legal department glanced at Musa, smiled lightly, and said, "Anyway, I offended her before, what’s wrong with talking?" The legal department woman left. An Ran went closer, and said, "Director Mu, don’t be angry. When you become the CEO’s wife someday, they’ll face consequences. After all, they’re jealous, because you’re the company’s number one beauty." Company’s number one beauty? Musa chuckled slightly, thinking of the environment that had already shifted in direction. Putting down the teacup, she said, "Let’s go, head to the branch office for a meeting." Then turned and left. Upon arriving at the front hall entrance of the company, a jewel-studded woman caught Musa’s attention. Zhou Huimei, holding a handbag, walked to the reception, arrogantly said as usual, "Contact Gu Zixuan, I want to see her." Her tone was cold, with ill intentions. The receptionist froze for a moment, though she saw her on Friday and was instructed by the Director to let her up, but today’s expression... should she let her in? The receptionist hadn’t regained her senses. Musa glanced over, her gaze deep and lowered, she approached. Updates are released by novel(ꜰ)ire.net Zhou Huimei felt a little displeased at the receptionist’s wary look. She had gone to great lengths, casting off the servant accompanying her to the supermarket, just to walk here! So what if she wasn’t let in? While hesitating, the voice beside her came timely. "You... looking for Director Gu?"
