Qi Shuya saw Feng Chengjin, and her face flushed involuntarily for a moment, "Mr. Feng." Qi Shuya’s voice was soft and gentle. Feng Chengjin pursed his lips. He felt a bit difficult to refuse Qi Shuya, who clearly liked him, and also felt a bit apologetic. Then he smiled slightly, "Good morning." Li Zhi looked at the two, pushed Qi Shuya forward and then said, "You two talk, I have some things to attend to, I’ll be off." Qi Shuya looked at Feng Chengjin, thought for a while, and gathered her courage, "Mr. Feng, do you have time now?" "Then could you accompany me for a walk in the garden? I find the hibiscus flowers at the Feng Mansion quite beautiful, it’s just..." Before she could finish her sentence, Feng Chengjin nodded, "Okay." This update is available on NoveIＦire.net The two of them strolled leisurely through the gardens of the villa area. In the morning mist, Qi Shuya felt a touch of joy in her heart at the more proactive posture of Feng Chengjin today. Thinking back to last night, Feng Chengjin’s sister-in-law Li Zhi had called her several times to explain today’s matters, and later there would be many guests, and Mr. Feng would directly announce, forcing Feng Chengjin... She blushed and said, "Mr. Feng..." However, this time, before she could speak, Feng Chengjin stopped in his tracks, hands in his pockets, looking down at her, "Miss Qi, I think there is something I must make clear to you, I have someone I like." Those brief words left Qi Shuya stunned on the spot, trembling as she looked at him, her autumn eyes gleaming like water. After a pause, she lowered her gaze and smiled, "I know, Mr. Feng liked a woman for eight years, Miss Li already told me. To be honest, I don’t think this affects my feelings for you. I think a man who is long affectionate... is more attractive." Realizing Qi Shuya misunderstood something, Feng Chengjin shook his head, "I’m sorry, I mean, I have a woman by my side now, and it’s someone I like." Qi Shuya’s eyes held a gaze, stunned. Nothing was more direct than this revelation. Having a woman... it means it’s not just a simple emotional connection, but also... Trembling, for a long time, she looked at Feng Chengjin’s eyes, then at his body, suddenly an enormous embarrassment flushed her face, like having understood something, she whispered, "Sorry. I didn’t know, I..." After saying this, it seemed she couldn’t follow with another sentence, her trembling body seemed like wanting to dig a hole to hide in, even rapidly turning around to move away. The sound was so painful, Feng Chengjin could understand her kind of embarrassment, just like when he saw Gu Zixuan marry someone else... So, he interrupted her, first explaining, "In fact, I didn’t mean to hurt you, your temperament and character are quite good, I admire it. I admit, if it weren’t for meeting her again recently, maybe I would try dating you. It’s just a misstep in timing, Miss Qi, you have nothing lacking, I hope you understand, you are a woman who can make a man’s heart move, so you will surely find your suitable fate." Upon hearing this, Qi Shuya’s heart trembled, she paused her steps in turning, lifted her gaze to look at Feng Chengjin’s earnest eyes. "You... you mean it?" "Yes." Feng Chengjin smiled faintly. "You mean... if it wasn’t for finding her, you would have been willing to date me?" "Yes." Without any concealment, Feng Chengjin said, "Perhaps dating would be good, and the next step would be heading towards marriage." In an instant, Qi Shuya’s heart trembled even more. To be honest, if this was said by someone else, Qi Shuya would definitely feel it was the other person giving her a good person card, just brushing her off. But when it came from Feng Chengjin’s mouth, she actually believed every word he said was true. Moreover, he not only restored her faint self-esteem through respect in his words, but also clearly expressed his current resolve. Because everything is a "perhaps"... So Qi Shuya’s eyes turned slightly red, she turned her face and gave a bitter smile, "With Mr. Feng treating people , no wonder everyone who meets him can’t forget and likes him." Feng Chengjin was startled, then chuckled, "Can’t forget is an exaggeration, Miss Qi is flattering me. I have no intention of leaving affection to any woman. But to be appreciated by Miss Qi, is indeed my honor." Qi Shuya’s heart trembled even more, looking at Feng Chengjin. There was no better way to give someone an exit. Despite the discomfort, she lowered her gaze, giving a more bitter smile, "To receive such words from Mr. Feng, is indeed my honor." Seeing Qi Shuya’s emotions calming down, Feng Chengjin curved his lips, looking at the distant hibiscus trees, said, "Let’s go, to see the flowers." Qi Shuya’s heart trembled, understanding that Feng Chengjin was now completely seeing her as a friend. Then, the last trace of awkwardness dissipated because of this gesture, but still, there was discomfort, with a slight unwillingness stemming from time, unrelated to anyone. On this side, Feng Chengjin led Qi Shuya to stroll leisurely within the Feng Mansion. On that side, as Feng Jingguo, who returned home with a darkened face, got out of the car, he followed the servant’s hint and saw the distant figures standing there. His mood, so intense that he wanted to smash things to vent, was now relieved by comfort. Thank goodness, thank goodness... As long as his third son can marry and have children smoothly and stop thinking about that woman, it doesn’t matter how much of a bastard that woman is. No one wants to live in past memories. Let the past be the past. Seeing that it was close to ten o’clock, and the guests would soon arrive at Feng Mansion, he prepared to change his clothes first, to drive away the bad luck brought by Gu Zixuan, and then welcome the big event in the industry that would be decided today. Feng Chengjin, followed by bodyguards, walked into the villa. In the distance, Feng Chengjin stood amid a sea of hibiscus flowers. From the moment he returned from the gas station, he saw his father return. Now, looking at the figure dressed in a tough, thin velvet coat, his eyes narrowed slightly, he paused, and then looked at Qi Shuya beside him, "Miss Qi, can you do me a favor?" Qi Shuya’s heart trembled, and she understood what he wanted her to do from Feng Chengjin’s gaze. With a slight curl of her fingers, she said, "Mr. Feng, I don’t think Mr. Feng will listen to my explanation." Feng Chengjin laughed, a glimmer of light flashed in his deep eyes, and he said, "I’ll handle the explanation myself tonight. Miss Qi just needs to help me delay the announcement of the marriage alliance." Qi Shuya looked up in shock, "You know?" Feng Chengjin chuckled. Looking at today’s unusual grandeur at Feng Mansion, he thought about the eight years of scheming and battling wits with his father, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, "Is it strange to know? After all, Feng Jingguo... has been the old rival!" Over here, Feng Chengjin was busy at Feng Mansion. Over there, at Shangpin Yuncui, after Gu Zixuan brought back the demon, she looked at Mrs. Xu, who came every morning for routine cleaning. After thinking for a moment, and facing the fact that other parts of her body didn’t hurt as much, but the wound in her private area hadn’t healed yet... She trembled her lips and said, "Mrs. Xu, can you accompany me to the hospital?" Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, considering the traces found during the house cleaning the previous two days, as well as the finding that Mr. Feng and Miss Gu were waking up in the same bedroom every morning these days. Naturally, she was happy that Mr. Feng, who had been single for so many years, finally had company. However, regarding Gu Zixuan’s reaction... After looking her up and down, the experienced Mrs. Xu understood something, especially since Gu Zixuan had been having trouble walking these past few days. So, she looked up and asked, "Was he... very eager?" Gu Zixuan’s face flushed, unsure how to answer. Mrs. Xu couldn’t help but quickly explain, "Miss Gu, please forgive him. You don’t know how many years it’s been since Mr. Feng had a woman. He..." In a flash, Gu Zixuan couldn’t help but laugh softly, turning her face away, she said, "I don’t blame him either." "You don’t blame him?" Mrs. Xu still couldn’t quite believe it. After all, in a normal consensual situation, it wouldn’t be like that unless some unusual means were taken... Gu Zixuan shook her head, "I don’t blame him." Although... being forced like that was indeed an uncomfortable experience with pain, which did leave a tiny bit of dissatisfaction in her heart. Wouldn’t any woman forced like that have emotions? But it wasn’t to the extent of blaming him. After all... if he didn’t like her so much, he wouldn’t have done such a thing. Moreover, she liked him too, and this was their first time together. She was already his woman, so how mad could she get at her own man? Although... the process was so terrible that it made her frown a little, it still made her cautious about getting close to him. Perhaps her serene soft smile was generous enough, making Mrs. Xu feel relieved. She put down her chores, picked up her small shopping bag for groceries, nodded, "Okay, I’ll go with you." "Mm." Gu Zixuan nodded. She also picked up her purse, holding it carefully in her palm, and followed Mrs. Xu out the door. "Mrs. Xu, when we get to the hospital, just say I’m your daughter-in-law." Mrs. Xu nodded, nodding vigorously, "Understood, understood, I’ll just say you newlyweds don’t know the intensity." Gu Zixuan, her mood relieved, thought about how embarrassed she had been for days, unable to go to the hospital for fear of gossip, and sincerely smiled. Gu Zixuan took a taxi with Mrs. Xu. Arriving at the hospital, after registering at the gynecology department, Gu Zixuan waited in the hall for her number to be called. Mrs. Xu truly regarded Gu Zixuan as her own daughter, so she insisted that the hospital bench was cold and went to get her a cup of hot water to warm her stomach, then turned and left. Gu Zixuan, waiting long for her number to be called, looked idly at the names displayed at the billing section. Until suddenly, a name appeared in her sight. Her eyelashes trembled, looking disbelievingly at that name. The name was... He Qimo.
