Because the distance wasn’t very far, there was no need to drive. Took a taxi to the tea restaurant. Feng Jingguo was having breakfast with two old house drivers and bodyguards. Feng Jingguo occupied a table alone, accompanied by an Alaskan puppy. The other two sat at another table. The morning tea was abundant: fresh shrimp dumplings, fresh shrimp rice rolls, satay steamed beef tripe, Phoenix custard buns, champion congee... Beside them, the waiting waiter was thrilled to serve, eagerly attending to Feng Jingguo. Meanwhile, hearing the elderly gentleman, dressed impeccably with a commanding presence, say he was here to see if anyone wanted the dog, nodding urgently in excitement. Just about to call Gu Zixuan to talk about this, she saw Gu Zixuan’s elegant figure entering from outside. The waiter instantly had eyes shining in excitement. However, before he could speak, the demon initially tied to the chair to prevent it from stealing food, upon seeing Gu Zixuan, became excited, jumping and wagging its tail with a "woo...". Gu Zixuan’s heart trembled, quickly walking forward, wanting to embrace it. Beside the demon, Feng Jingguo was eating, heard the sound, and gently lifted his deep black eyes. Gu Zixuan approached and naturally saw Feng Jingguo; with his attire and the bodyguards around him, it was clear he belonged to a wealthy family, an unfathomably rich one. Around sixty years old, his expression very robust. Looking at the demon being cared for so well, while Gu Zixuan was subtly grateful and moved, a trace of worry arose internally — would they still be willing to return it to her? It was also the moment Feng Jingguo lifted his eyes to see Gu Zixuan’s complete visage. Instantly, a heavy wave of shock, astonishment, and disbelief swept through him. Making him momentarily despise even the demon beside him, thinking of negotiating with the original owner about buying the dog for a high price — an idea he abandoned instantly. "Is this your dog?" Feng Jingguo couldn’t help but tremble slightly holding his chopsticks. "Yes." Gu Zixuan didn’t know why Feng Jingguo had this expression, just instinctively feeling that he disliked her, a hint of... hatred perhaps? Indeed, Gu Zixuan guessed right. Comparing with the photo, Feng Jingguo saw the almost unchanged face, triggering a flood of eight-year-old memories that fueled anger in his dark gaze. Eight years ago, hearing the son was going to the United States to start a company because he fell in love with a girl and might marry soon, he was quite happy. However, asking the son about it, there was a hesitation, not explaining clearly. Later, heard news of the girl marrying someone else and the son just undergoing appendicitis surgery desperate to go to the USA. Out of curiosity and concern for the son’s health, he boarded the subsequent flight with the son to the USA, but didn’t inform. The girl’s wedding day. He personally watched as the son stood just alive at the chapel doors, witnessing the "I do" moment inside, delivering the certificate, his expression shattered. The New York sky hosted a light drizzle that day, witnessing the son’s retreat, step by staggering step. The white shirt’s bottom right, all was blood... Due to the airplane’s high pressure, his freshly operated, yet unhealed wound, bled... The son’s expression was so sorrowful, engraving a deep, indelible mark in the heart of a man in his fifties. Eyes moist as if the heart was also shattering. Since then, he investigated the girl’s background. Learning she was Gu Qingfeng’s daughter, he refrained from saying more. Contemplated letting the matter pass. Finding a visiting poor boy to despise their third child. Hurting their third child’s self-esteem so cruelly, the third child deserved better. However... The family knew about the third child’s failed romance, harboring such ideas. But none could surpass the third child’s deep affection. Those tormenting eight-year-long nightmares, Ye Xilan didn’t know the heroine was protected by the third child. No one but him knew the woman’s identity, silently rendering the third child mad for countless days and nights. No going to blind dates, no love pursuits, no acquaintance with new women. During the hardest phase, ignoring any woman but the family. The career blow and then... the cruelty that brought their family imminent doom... Forcing San’er onto a path where neither human nor ghost remains... Finally, thinking about four years ago, that event which devastated their entire family... Feng Jingguo completely clenched his trembling hands into fists. Don’t mention eight years later, Feng Jingguo still recognized Gu Zixuan, even if it were eighteen or twenty-eight years later! Even if Gu Zixuan turned to dust, he would still recognize her! So now, looking at the marks on Gu Zixuan’s neck which clearly belonged to a man, even after eight years she was still carelessly with that poor young man, he looked at her with even more disdain. Stumbling to stand, he was so angered that his blood pressure rose. While supporting himself on the table, his bodyguards and driver were startled and hurriedly came over to support him. Feng Jingguo angrily grabbed the wrist of the driver, Old Lu, trying to stabilize his trembling body. Then he coldly ordered, "Let’s go!" Truth be told, driver Old Lu was quite bewildered, looking at that demon which Old Feng used to like so much, tilting its head and letting out a confused "Awooo...", shivering inside and following far away. As soon as Feng Jingguo opened the car door, a Rolls-Royce drove away. Gu Zixuanxin shivered, not knowing what to say about the inexplicable scorn and the brief, one-sided conversation. However, demon’s barking quickly brought her back to her senses. The servant let out a sigh of relief and, excitedly and happily talking, quickly interrupted her deep thoughts. She held demon, ordered breakfast, and in the process of waiting for her meal, played around with demon. Demon was clearly very happy to see her, snuggling into her arms, sniffing her constantly, licking her, and his furry tail wagged at maximum speed like a windshield wiper. Gu Zixuanxin felt a bit happier, stroking demon’s little head, smelling the fragrant scent of the dog shampoo, and feeling demon’s gained weight after not seeing him in over a week, along with the more expensive collar and the more stylish dog tag. She muttered to herself, "You have a new owner who’s quite good to you, and clearly better options. Why are you so devoted, only fond of me?" Demon didn’t know what Gu Zixuanxin was saying, just felt excited to see "Mama" again, and eagerly nestled into her embrace. Over there, the employee whom Feng Chengjin had arranged to wait every morning for work, but overslept today and arrived late, just reached. Looking at Gu Zixuan there, and then recalling the previous angry encounter with the old gentleman. Instantly, his face turned pale, unable to articulate. His heart skipped a beat, cold sweat crawling over his forehead. Because although Miss Gu didn’t know what was happening, he knew it was the President’s father... Immediately, without explaining anything to Miss Gu, seeing Gu Zixuan focused on playing with the dog, he swallowed and quickly went to a secluded area to call Feng Chengjin... Inside the villa, Feng Chengjin had just arrived not long ago and hadn’t gotten out of the car. Received the call, he fell silent for a long time, his brows furrowing slightly, and his deep Mo Tong glanced sideways at the now empty parking space he noticed his father had already left from. After a long time, he slowly said, "I understand..."

"No need, just act as if you know nothing, and give that employee a bonus. I’ll handle the explanations later." Upon receiving the order, the employee let out a long breath, sincerely touched by Feng Chengjin’s considerate actions, and replied, "Okay, I’ll go congratulate Miss Gu." Added a sentence, "Thank you, President Feng." "You’re welcome. You’ve worked hard lately." Put down the phone, Feng Chengjin gazed at the villa, busy from early morning with decor, understanding well what they aimed to accomplish today. Thinking about his father, who hadn’t resolved the knot in the past eight years. Eventually, a heavy gloom surfaced in Feng Chengjin’s deep Mo Tong eyes... Yet after the heaviness, thinking about the fact he had recently claimed Gu Zixuan again, whatever determination returned firmly to his eyes. He locked the car but, before he was about to step forward, heard his sister-in-law’s laughter, Li Zhi’s, from behind, "Yo, the timing isn’t bad, I thought our Chengjin was so filial, definitely returning early for the family’s routine gathering, right?" Feng Chengjin turned around, seeing his sister-in-law Li Zhi, along with a graceful, elegant Qianli standing beside her, a woman he hadn’t seen for a long time.
