On the phone, it seemed that Minister Song, who had the last name Song, was quite familiar with Feng Chengjin, as Gu Zixuan could faintly hear Minister Song’s hearty laughter. And during the conversation, Feng Chengjin’s words were also relatively lighthearted. Occasionally glancing at Gu Zixuan, Feng Chengjin said, "Hmm, well... naturally, whatever Minister Song says goes... haha, okay, I will remember." After hanging up the phone, Gu Zixuan looked at Feng Chengjin, "Do you know the ministerial leaders of the Central?" Feng Chengjin was slightly stunned, smiling faintly, nodded, looked down to continue pressing the phone screen before putting it in his pocket, "I know a few." Given the implicit nature of Chinese speech and Feng Chengjin’s usual low-key attitude when it comes to business matters, Gu Zixuan couldn’t quite determine how many "a few" actually was. How central a position was it? But knowing that Feng Chengjin’s business had grown so large, many project approvals had to reach the central ministry level, it was normal to know a few. Nodding, thinking about her father’s matters, she actually wanted to ask Feng Chengjin to inquire a bit. But troubling others wasn’t really her character, and her father now... although the matter couldn’t be said to be completely resolved, perhaps her father’s friends were still relatively helpful, and it wasn’t as tragic as initially imagined. Some minor disciplinary issues... if handled well, perhaps just an internal warning within the party could resolve it. So she didn’t speak again. When Feng Chengjin looked up, what he saw was Gu Zixuan gazing at the lights with a perfect profile, warm and graceful. His deep eyes showed fondness, and a smile teased at his lips. At night, when Gu Zixuan followed Feng Chengjin to fetch Demon from the pet store, and seeing Demon looking neat, handsome, and a bit proud after grooming, her eyes curved in amusement. Faced with Demon, who didn’t want to sit in the car, having been cooped up in the store cage all day long with deep brown eyes watery looking at her. Full of innocence, pitifulness, and sorrow. Gu Zixuan softened and said, "Let’s go to the park for a walk then." This content belongs to novel✦fire.net Demon could already respond to simple words and upon hearing the word "park," was so excited he barked and bounced numerous times. Feng Chengjin sighed, looking at Demon with a seemingly helpless yet amused glance, shook his head, and had no choice but to park the car by the road and call Qin Nuo to drive to Jiangbin Park. He then got down to walk with Gu Zixuan and the clingy Alaskan puppy, acting like a child clinging to Gu Zixuan. They took the small path because they left late after dinner, plus the time spent picking up the dog. It was already 10 PM by then, and there were hardly any people along the way. After over forty minutes, they arrived at Demon’s most familiar Jiangbin Park, and due to the onset of autumn cold, it was sparsely populated. However, the bright moonlight scattered on the rippling river was beautiful. The river in Rong City was called Rongjiang. The river’s waters were crystal clear; due to good environmental protection in recent years, swallows could occasionally be seen flying by. The autumn wind was rising, bringing a grandeur and vastness to the sky and earth. Gu Zixuan watched the scenery on the autumn night. She was wrapped in Feng Chengjin’s jacket and didn’t feel cold. Of course, she also felt Cheng Jin’s dry, warm palm constantly holding hers and looked at his tall, handsome profile beside her. Gu Zixuan couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of happiness at that moment. She vaguely really wished to be led by Feng Chengjin , walking on and on. Feng Chengjin also enjoyed this state, especially Gu Zixuan’s quiet company, and was consistently smiling. Until a lengthy silence lingered between the two of them. Feng Chengjin and Gu Zixuan suddenly spoke at the same time. They exchanged glances and then both looked away with a low laugh. For some reason, at this moment, even though one was already thirty-four and the other had been married twice, it felt just like a young couple fresh in love. After laughing, Feng Chengjin took the initiative to speak, "You first." Gu Zixuan blushed a bit, thought for a moment, then looked at his body and said, "Are you cold? Why don’t you put your jacket back on?" Feeling Gu Zixuan’s concern, Feng Chengjin was momentarily dazed, then smiled and wrapped her into his arms. "Do you think I’m cold?" Embraced by the warmth from all directions by Feng Chengjin, Gu Zixuan’s face grew even redder. After pausing for a while, Gu Zixuan asked again, "Then what were you going to say just now?" At this, Feng Chengjin was even more slightly stunned and chuckled softly, "I wanted to ask if you were tired?" Gu Zixuan was stunned, looking up at Feng Chengjin’s amused expression, thinking how they both simultaneously cared about each other, smiled deeper, and her face was burning red. Feng Chengjin also found this moment amusing, so when he pulled her tighter into his arms, his lips unwittingly kissed her hair. Until they lingered for a moment, Feng Chengjin glanced around. Feeling a sudden whim, taking advantage of the lack of people, he turned around, bent down, "Come on, hop on, I’ll carry you." The first thing that came to Gu Zixuan’s mind was the childhood teachings of her parents: a lady must never spread her legs, always maintaining a princess squat posture. She hesitated a little. But then when she looked at Feng Chengjin... He seemed to understand that given his age and status, doing this might seem odd... He was observing his surroundings. So, Gu Zixuan took another look, paused briefly, then bit the bullet and gently leaned onto his back. Feng Chengjin’s body was tall and broad, leaning on his back, she could not only smell that pleasant fragrance but also feel a certain indescribable masculine aura. Very considerate, making one want to rely on him for a lifetime. It was also the first time Feng Chengjin had carried Gu Zixuan, and the feeling was... not bad. So he smiled, handed the dog leash to Gu Zixuan, supported her waist with his hand, and continued walking along the path of Jiangbin Park carrying her. For a moment, the image of two closely fitting figures and a little dog was reflected in the shimmering water surface. Maybe Feng Chengjin’s steps were too steady, and this feeling made Gu Zixuan feel too much like two young people in love. So after walking for a while, Gu Zixuan couldn’t help but blushingly ask Feng Chengjin, "Have you carried anyone else before?" "Not Cheng Yue or Yu Xi?" Gu Zixuan was slightly surprised. Feng Chengjin shook his head, smiled faintly, "None at all, Yu Xi is a boy, I definitely wouldn’t carry him, Cheng Yue had a nanny and a caretaker as a child, so she didn’t need me to carry her." So she was the first? Gu Zixuan couldn’t help but blush a little. Pausing again, she asked, "Then... you said you’ve never had a girlfriend before, is that true?" Feng Chengjin chuckled softly, the sound was very pleasant, "Do you think it’s a lie?" Gu Zixuan’s cheeks turned even redder, turning away, "I just find it hard to believe." Feng Chengjin chuckled even lower, but didn’t speak. Pausing, faced with the evening of saying anything when asked, earlier while dining they continually discussed finance, at this moment seemingly enjoying the present, Feng Chengjin didn’t want to talk about those topics. With her being Feng Chengjin’s first girlfriend with such a connection, aside from blushing, Gu Zixuan couldn’t help asking a third question, "Then... how many women have you had?" This time Feng Chengjin paused his steps. Gu Zixuan blushing, turned her face away, and whispered: "I’m not checking your background, just curious." In a flash, Feng Chengjin’s smile brightened in his eyes. In his obsidian-like eyes, there were starlit glimmers, scattering a unique brilliance. If Gu Zixuan observed carefully, she could see it full of fondness, mixed with a hint of mischief. So, Feng Chengjin tried to press his lips together, making his smile less obvious, looked more serious, "How many do you think?" Gu Zixuan was momentarily stunned by Feng Chengjin’s ambiguous tone. Seriously thought about Feng Chengjin’s age, talent, status, appearance, audience reach, finally... thinking about his interest that makes her blush... Replied, "Three or four?" Feng Chengjin smiled a little, more earnestly, "Guess again." "Seven... eight?" This time, Gu Zixuan pursed her lips slightly, feeling a bit displeased. Yet Feng Chengjin almost burst into laughter, "Keep guessing." "Ten or so?" Gu Zixuan exclaimed, raising her tone. Feng Chengjin’s eyes curved more than a crescent moon, "Still wrong." Gu Zixuan was completely exasperated, feeling a bit frantic, wanting to leave in a minute, "Could it be dozens?" This time, Feng Chengjin laughed out loud. The shaking shoulders quickly made Gu Zixuan realize how much she had overestimated. But if she estimated lower, it would mean 1 or 2... With numbers like that... Adding on Feng Chengjin’s frequent earlier admissions that she was the first for everything. A disbelief conjecture began to spread in her mind. In an instant, Gu Zixuan’s face turned even redder, burning, with a shy desire to bury her face into a bag. Gu Zixuan kept silent, staying quietly leaning on his back. Feng Chengjin knew she probably already understood. Though he didn’t explicitly clarify, he still asked her with a smile, "Alright? Commissioner? Can this assessment pass?" Gu Zixuan’s face felt shy and she didn’t know what to say. After a pause, the interest in Feng Chengjin became even stronger, he set her down, then faced her. Under the moonlight, Gu Zixuan watched as Feng Chengjin drew closer. "If you’re satisfied, can I have a reward kiss?"
