On the other end of the phone, Feng Chengjin smiled slightly, his voice cultured, "Just ran off like that?" Gu Zixuan’s face reddened, "Weiwei said she needed to talk to me. She’s been having relationship troubles lately, I’ll stay with her for a couple of nights." Seeing Gu Zixuan use her as an excuse, Yu Wei was momentarily stunned and almost burst out laughing. Gu Zixuan blushed and made an apologetic gesture towards Yu Wei. On this end of the phone. Feng Chengjin chuckled softly, his deep Mo Tong eyes watching a patch of mint leaves planted on the outdoor balcony, seemingly helpless against such a clumsy excuse. However, considering Gu Zixuan’s condition, he knew she truly couldn’t endure it, so with a bit of heartache, he agreed, "Alright, I planned to spend the next few days with you before going abroad tomorrow, that’s why..." Feng Chengjin paused, then chuckled softly, "Since she has something to attend to, you can stay where you are. I won’t be in the country for a while anyway." "You’re going abroad?" Hearing this, Gu Zixuan sat up straight. Feng Chengjin: "Yes, I got a call from Minister Song a couple of days ago. He’s going to Germany for an international business summit and asked me to accompany him." In an instant, Gu Zixuan felt a bit regretful and remorseful, realizing why Feng Chengjin was so clingy. The sour, heart-wrenching feeling of parting swept over her heart. The feeling was intense, unprecedented, and she didn’t even notice the change in her tone, "For... how many days?" "About 10 to 15 days," Feng Chengjin seemed a bit reluctant too, but considering the preparations needed before going abroad and Gu Zixuan’s weak health, he ultimately didn’t say, ’Why don’t you stay with me for one more night?’ Instead, he paused and said, "Will you miss me?" Gu Zixuan blushed instantly, uncertain how to respond. In fact, she really wanted to say, how about I meet Yu Wei tomorrow night and still go back home tonight. However, clenching her palms, there were some words she couldn’t bring herself to say in front of Yu Wei, due to her reserved nature. Gu Zixuan remained silent, and Feng Chengjin’s eyes revealed a hint of shallow disappointment. But he didn’t mind too much, and smiled, "Well, keep Miss Yu company. I’ll send Demon over by car later." Hearing that Feng Chengjin would come over to meet her, Gu Zixuan nodded, "Okay." Feng Chengjin arrived about half an hour later, bringing along house keys, car keys, his villa key, and... a bank card. Standing at the entrance of Jinyue Zijing Mansion. Feng Chengjin held Demon, pushing all these things into her hands, "If you need to buy anything, just use the card. If you don’t have time to take care of Demon, you can send him to my villa. There’s a butler there, and I’ve already instructed him. Also..." Feng Chengjin glanced upstairs and said, "If staying at Miss Yu’s place is inconvenient, and it’s unsafe to live alone in Shangpin Yuncui, stay at my villa. I’ll arrange for a driver to take you to and from work every day." Feng Chengjin’s meticulous instructions warmed Gu Zixuan’s heart, and naturally, the painful feeling of not wanting to part became more overwhelming. to 15 days may not seem long when together, but apart it feels endless. Perhaps Gu Zixuan’s eyes also showed her distress, for Feng Chengjin, catching sight of them, felt his heart stir, and he couldn’t help but hold her in his arms, kissing her softly on her forehead. The kiss was moist, mixed with his body warmth. "Take care of yourself." Gu Zixuan lowered her gaze, saying nothing. Feng Chengjin smiled lightly, preparing to let go and drive home. Yet, before he left, Gu Zixuan thought for a moment and then called, "Cheng Jin." This should be the second time Gu Zixuan called him by name, and Feng Chengjin felt a flicker in his heart as he looked back at her. The next moment, Gu Zixuan stood on her tiptoes, leaned in, and pecked him on the cheek, "You too." Take care of yourself too? The sensation on his face was tingly, like the fresh gardenia flowers in early June. It also resembled that little happiness unique to all first-time couples. In an instant, Feng Chengjin felt ten years younger. Looking at her, the woman he waited eight years for. His heart filled with indescribable emotions, and his deep eyes curved into two crescent moons. Moved by emotion, he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling both her and the dog into a tight embrace. His lips met Gu Zixuan’s in a kiss. Feng Chengjin’s kiss was teasing, arriving like fire, gentle as a spring. It was mixed with a heart-pounding rhythm. As his tongue explored, it carried a bewitching allure, slowly awakening all of Gu Zixuan’s desires to respond. So, within an instant, the capillaries on her face expanded, spreading two clouds of red, in less than three seconds. From accepting his actions to her own inability to control her feelings for him, leading to her soft response, took no more than ten seconds. Finally, Weiwei didn’t know how long this kiss lasted. She only knew that her whole body was in a feverish state, and if they weren’t outdoors, she might really have done something crazy like pulling Feng Chengjin into bed. She also knew that the dog demon, squeezed between their bodies, was almost turned into a pancake, and had given up struggling, hanging its dog head languidly, not understanding what was wrong with "Papa" and "Mama". Feng Chengjin’s temperature had risen all over his body too. Truth be told, even though he knew Gu Zixuan couldn’t endure the impulses that he had waited eight years for, he still wanted her desperately every time he saw her. And no matter what, he felt like he couldn’t get enough, even if he was half full, after half an hour, he would still be hungry just looking at her. The nerves in his abdomen felt filled to the brim, craving to roam in her warmth and tightness. But... ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI-Fire.ɴet Regardless of how much reluctance there was, sometimes one still had to leave, right? In his pocket, a call from Qin Nuo diverted the heartfelt gaze of the two people. Feng Chengjin stepped back, giving Gu Zixuan and demon enough breathing space, then took out the phone and placed it by his short haircut, "Hello?" On the other end, Qin Nuo seemed to have reached somewhere. "President Feng, the silk and porcelain gifts for Linus, the Minister of the German Ministry of Commerce, have been selected. The hometown tea leaves for Ambassador Chen Diao of the Chinese Embassy in Germany are also ready, and..." After a string of reports, Qin Nuo said, "Do you want to come and have a look, President Feng?" These gifts were supposed to be delivered by Minister Song. To be honest, these tasks should have been handled by a designated department. However, considering the level and specifications... naturally, it’s better to have a boss deliver them, ensuring they reach the highest standard. Moreover, it gives Feng Chengjin an opportunity to further connect with officials from various countries. Minister Song had a good relationship with Feng Chengjin, which is why this arrangement was made. Therefore, it’s mutually beneficial, and Feng Chengjin couldn’t refuse or treat it casually. Feng Chengjin nodded, "Alright, I’ll come over right away." Only then did he hang up the phone and gave Gu Zixuan a deep look, "I’m leaving now." Gu Zixuan nodded and softly said, "Come back soon." Feng Chengjin smiled, turned and drove off. As the tail lights of the Bentley Mulsanne disappeared at Jinyue Zijing Mansion. Gu Zixuan realized that not even a second after Feng Chengjin left, she already started missing him. Returning upstairs, Gu Zixuan decided to throw demon out, connecting with Angela whom she hadn’t seen in a long time. Watching the two dogs become more intimate, ultimately playing and biting in the same doghouse, she couldn’t help but sigh. Determining not to be bullied by dogs any longer, she returned to the bedroom to rest. In the afternoon, after waking up, she took a look at home, noticing that her father was doing well. Her mother and brother’s moods somewhat eased, thanks to the recent alleviation of their father’s issues. However, given they are political matters, with those sorts of issues, they couldn’t intervene; all they knew was that remaining quiet and not bringing further trouble to their father was the best state. Also aware that until matters are completely settled, nobody’s heart dares to rest. Thus, handling such affairs in politics is inherently lengthy—paired with the position her father is already in. The nature of this circle of power, how it extends—there are no family members from the political sphere to act as a support beam to help, ask questions. Thus, all they could do was watch their father and his friends, meet, call, discuss every day, and listen silently, trying not to bother their father. The next day, feeling refreshed, she received a text from Feng Chengjin at half-past four in the morning, [I’m leaving, going to shut down my phone.] Does he need to catch an early flight ? Gu Zixuan’s heart faltered a bit, but thinking about it, he must fly to Beijing first to join Minister Song to depart together, she felt a bit more heartache. She replied with a simple [Travel safely.] Feng Chengjin apparently hadn’t shut down yet, replying with a message, [:)] I know, take some more rest too, I’ll call you from Germany. Gu Zixuan smiled, responding, [Alright.] Only until Feng Chengjin stopped responding to messages did she realize he must have really shut down his device. Then she started staring at the empty pillow, a bit regretful for not spending another night with him, feeling a loss. Then, she began to miss him even more... Upon going to work, Gu Zixuan felt even more dreamy. Xi Ruo kept an eye on her, several times wanting to ask but remembering Gu Zixuan is the president’s wife! And the president went abroad today, seeing the president’s wife in such a state, clearly she’s missing the president. He dared not disturb Gu Zixuan’s thoughts. Gu Zixuan rested her chin, gazing out the window. Xi Ruo kept routinely glancing at her. Until the room door was knocked open with the sound of heels clinking. The HR department, An Ran appeared before their eyes.
