Feng Chengjin was taken aback; looking at the shocked expression on the salesgirl’s face, he awkwardly asked, "What’s wrong?" "Oh, nothing." The salesgirl, embarrassed, lowered her head. She swiftly and haphazardly scanned the boxes for him. Once she finished, she kindly asked, "Sir, would you like a bag?" Only then did Feng Chengjin remember his car was parked some distance away. He nodded, "Yes." The salesgirl sighed in relief, realizing that this outrageously handsome man in front of her was still a modest gentleman. She scanned a bag for him, completed the transaction, packed everything up, and pleasantly said, "Take care, sir. Please visit us again." Even if Feng Chengjin were slow-witted, he’d know these items are used one at a time, and buying five boxes at once was for the convenience of not having to come back. So he smirked, knowing he wouldn’t visit again, took out a hundred yuan bill from his wallet along with the change from earlier, and handed it back, "A tip." Then he turned and left. His generosity left the salesgirl utterly impressed, hoping to encounter such modest men every day! Feng Chengjin got in the car. In truth, doing something for the first time, he still felt a bit embarrassed... So he opened the glove compartment beside the passenger seat, stuffed the items in, closed it, and sped away from the small street. In Fengyi Building, within the director’s office of the e-commerce department. Gu Zixuan blushed the instant she received the text from Feng Chengjin. [I have some errands to run, I’ll pick you up downstairs at 5:30, we’re going for dinner.] She quickly typed a response and sent it back, [Are you skipping work again? You’ve been here for three days and already skipped a day and a half. Plus, everyone at the company is talking about us. I’m not going down.] Seeing Gu Zixuan’s message, over there, the fiery mood ignited since morning had not subsided, so Feng Chengjin had dragged Pei Yongyou to a sauna. While receiving a Thai massage, he replied: [It’s okay, people will find out eventually.] [Even if they do, it’s not okay.] Seeing Gu Zixuan so firm, Feng Chengjin bit his lip, [I believe Mrs. Feng can decide when she wants to get off work...] On her end, Gu Zixuan blushed instantly due to those words. Knowing that Feng Chengjin likes her, knowing that he would protect her despite the gossip, none of that compared to the thrill from hearing those three words. After all, she’d just gotten divorced, after all, this would be her second marriage, and also... there were so many complications in her life now... Her eyes trembled thinking about how he protected her this morning, openly admitting to being the man she "cheated" with, warming her heart like a sea, she slowly responded: [Are you... serious?] On his end, Feng Chengjin smiled, and for a moment the heat subsided a little, unveiling the question buried for eight years, a question he couldn’t ask due to a twist of fate back then, and now could finally voice. [Would you be willing?] On this end, when Gu Zixuan saw those three words, she couldn’t help the tears that welled up. Tears that were even more moving than when he helped her, protected her, cared for her, understood her... thoroughly swept through her heart. Eight years ago, the sudden love taught her what a young girl’s innocent passion was. At this moment, she truly felt what it means to have the stability and happiness of a woman. After a long while, her eyelids fluttered and she replied. [No, I’m not willing.] When the message was received, Feng Chengjin was stunned and quickly replied: [Why wouldn’t you be willing?] Sitting up straight startled the masseuse behind him, causing Pei Yongyou, who had been enjoying with a female masseur on hand, to withdraw his fingers that had been inching into her collar and look at Feng Chengjin in surprise. On this end, Gu Zixuan replied: [Your company’s policy of coming and going as you please is too unruly and not a good model for employees. I recommend making changes, or else managing your team in the future will be difficult.] On the other end, Feng Chengjin looked at the text content, suddenly let out a chuckle, and shook his head. Narrowing his eyes, he muttered under his breath. This little demon wearing a bunny suit... Playing dumb with him, huh? He pondered for a moment, then replied, [Alright, you stay at work, we’ll leave when most of the people get off.] Then he saw her response, [...] He dropped the phone and didn’t reply, letting the Thai masseuse continue the massage. A few minutes later, sure enough, he saw Gu Zixuan’s message, [... Let’s leave early after all.] After work, Gu Zixuan looked at the man who possibly just showered, with a change of clothes, emitting a faint, pleasant scent, and then looked at the place he took her for dinner... A dimly lit restaurant filled with romantic ambiance, making one’s heart race. Then, experiencing Feng Chengjin’s eagerness as he took her to see a movie afterwards. A romantic film, about happiness... It wasn’t until almost half past eleven that he finally sent her home. She knew, with such a clingy Feng Chengjin and given the time now... whatever couldn’t be done in the morning, he planned to... Knowing that it was his house, she lowered her head, red-faced, and said nothing along the way. Feng Chengjin glanced over at her side profile, and the corner of his mouth curled into a deeper smile. Until they arrived at a winery, he got out of the car to retrieve two bottles of wine from the owner. After all, he rarely stayed at Shangpin Yuncui, so he still lacked some supplies. Feng Chengjin got out of the car, telling Gu Zixuan to wait inside. Gu Zixuan blushed, naturally understanding what he intended to do... Thinking, drinking a bit... might help in not overthinking things. Gu Zixuan twisted her fingers, feeling her heart nervously pounding. Until, as she looked down, she noticed a corner of what appeared to be a plastic bag poking out from the glove compartment, not properly stowed. She thought about it, pulling it open, intending to tuck it away for Feng Chengjin. But the logo of an ordinary convenience store shopping bag piqued her curiosity. Turning on the car’s interior light, she pulled out the shopping bag, took out an item inside, and glanced at it. Upon seeing what it was, her face flushed bright red. Seeing the size, her heart couldn’t help but blush further with a cursed thought, such confidence! But, it wasn’t until she saw the type and purpose. She suddenly widened her eyes in shock. Pulling out the plastic bag again, looking at the quantity inside... Gu Zixuan: "..." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on Nove1Fire.net
