Yu Xi smiled obsequiously at Gu Zixuan, "Little Xuanxuan..." Please forgive Gu Zixuan for being skeptical; at that moment, she really saw the image of a weasel wishing a chicken a happy New Year. Feeling awkward, she descended step by step from the spiral staircase, wearing a nude-colored autumn dress. "Can you stop calling me that?" Gu Zixuan’s voice was gentle, like most ordinary girls when they aren’t angry, making people feel comfortable. Looking at Gu Zixuan, who was half a head shorter than him, Yu Xi pouted, "Can’t I even call you that in private?" Gu Zixuan was taken aback, uncertainly looking at Yu Xi. Yu Xi showed a pitiful look, like he had been beaten stupid earlier that morning, "I knew it... You don’t care about me at all, not even a bit of guilt. You never directly addressed my feelings for you, just watching my embarrassment..." Yu Xi continued to list his grievances, "Mainly, you still mind I’m younger than you. Is it my fault that I’m younger? Who can I blame for being born later... I’ve been beaten , and I can’t even call you Xuanxuan in private..." Yu Xi: "And today, I got beaten by uncle, and when it happened, you even cheered for him to hit me twice..." "..." Gu Zixuan was speechless. In the end, seeing Yu Xi was about to complain again, she couldn’t help but say, "Alright, alright, if you insist on calling me that in private, go ahead, just don’t do it in front of others." "..." Gu Zixuan nodded. Immediately, Yu Xi was so happy that he almost rushed up to kiss Gu Zixuan on the cheek, but then he thought of his uncle... and held back. When Feng Chengjin finished his nap and came for lunch, he noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off. Usually, after Yu Xi gets disciplined, most of the time he behaves and reflects. But today was different... At the dining table, with the splendid meal prepared to welcome Feng Chengjin back. Yu Xi eagerly said to Gu Zixuan, "Stepmom, try this... Stepmom, have a taste of the soup... Stepmom, this is Chef Chen’s specialty..." Gu Zixuan lowered her gaze. Feng Chengjin watched in silence, his chopsticks paused: "..." The rightful source is novｅlfire.net Finally, facing his uncle, who was quietly observing him, Yu Xi held his ground and said, "Uncle, why are you staring at me? Haven’t I already started calling her stepmom?" Feng Chengjin pursed his lips, then looked at Gu Zixuan and didn’t say anything. Actually, according to their relationship, he hadn’t even proposed formally. He hadn’t asked Gu Zixuan to be his girlfriend in a formal setting... considering his father’s side... Feng Chengjin knew it was a bit early to call her that, but it was an eventuality he had in mind and didn’t mind it much. But... in the afternoon, the orphanage called, saying that one of the children missed Feng Chengjin. So Feng Chengjin planned to take Gu Zixuan, since she took a day off today, to visit Qingshan Orphanage. Gu Zixuan didn’t oppose. Thinking that it had been over two months since their last visit, it was about time for a trip. But just as they got in the car, Yu Xi suddenly dove in and joined them. Feng Chengjin paused, looking deeply at Yu Xi with his dark eyes. Yu Xi blinked his "innocent" eyes, saying, "What? I miss Yaya." Yaya was a six-year-old girl from Zhaoli Orphanage, to whom Yu Xi was quite attached. Before Gu Zixuan came along, whenever Feng Chengjin occasionally visited the orphanage, he would take Yu Xi if he was at the villa. After another uncertain glance at Yu Xi, Feng Chengjin finally started the car. The black Rolls-Royce Phantom left the villa... The ride was relatively quiet. Both Feng Chengjin and Gu Zixuan were not talkative people. When together, they mostly talked about finance, politics, famous music, paintings, or outdoor sports. Their conversations were naturally warm and romantic. Their viewpoints matched, and so did their interests. But today, with Yu Xi along for the ride, the dynamics shifted. Not only did his speaking volume rise significantly, but the rate at which he spoke was quite noisy too. Yu Xi hummed little tunes all the way, saying to Gu Zixuan in the front passenger seat, "Stepmom, do you play games?" Gu Zixuan: "I don’t play much." Yu Xi: "Oh, games are so fun, how can you not love them? Let me tell you, the mobile game ’Honor of Kings’ is so popular these days. I’m at Diamond level 2 now, aiming for the top. Do you know what being a ’King’ means? It means being the most powerful..." Gu Zixuan: "Oh, really?" "Yes, indeed. My best heroes are Zhao Yun and the King of Lanling. Do you know the King of Lanling? He’s the historical one, but in the game, he’s made so ugly with a face veil. Still, this assassin is very powerful..." Finally, amidst Yu Xi’s endless chatter, the car arrived at Qingshan Orphanage. Seeing Feng Chengjin, the children in the yard were all excited. The director and caregivers inside saw Feng Chengjin coming, and when he got out of the car, he moved to the passenger side to help the woman inside down. The intimate posture was unmistakable, and they all smiled with relief. After all, Feng Chengjin was really quite old. And the woman before them had completely changed from her last frightening punk look to a stunningly beautiful and charming appearance, even with a touch of elegant aura. Yet no matter how harmonious the atmosphere was, Gu Zixuan felt the gazes of everyone, sensing Feng Chengjin’s undeniable concern and firmness, and blushed. Suddenly a loud laugh broke the moment, "Ah haha! Little Ya!" Yu Xi rushed forward, his handsome face bruised and swollen, excitedly patting the head of a little girl. Everyone’s attention was drawn to him, even the director couldn’t help but ask, "Young Master Feng, your face..." "Oh, got beaten up, it’s nothing." The director felt heartache, looking at Yu Xi, recalling the feeling from when he first met the fourteen-year-old young master six years ago, "Who could be so tasteless, even hitting such a cute child like Yu Xi?" Yu Xi instantly looked innocent, whining, "Director, as long as you care about me, it’s fine. I thought the whole world didn’t care about me..." Yu Xi walked forward, being lovingly touched on the face by the director. After spending the afternoon accompanying, playing games, and distributing snacks for afternoon tea, everything was finally done, and it was almost time to leave. In the car, Feng Chengjin listened to Qin Nuo’s report over the phone that Ding Hui, Yun Fan, and others had already arrived in Germany Munich. After giving other instructions, he emphasized again how to properly accompany Minister Song. All expenses are to be reimbursed by the company funds, and before Minister Song’s group leaves, the gifts from Germany are from Germany, but they still have to pick some gifts to send over. Especially look at German cars, or crafts, daily necessities, high-end luxury goods, to see if there’s anything that interests Minister Song. Qin Nuo said okay to each point. After hanging up the phone, Feng Chengjin glanced sideways to see Gu Zixuan opening the car door and settling into the passenger seat next to him. Seeing Feng Chengjin still holding the phone, Gu Zixuan’s face felt a bit embarrassed, "Did I... interrupt you?" Feng Chengjin pursed his lips without speaking. Gu Zixuan’s face grew even redder, "Sorry, continue then. I thought you were upset, so I came to the car..." Saying that, Gu Zixuan was about to open the door to leave. Seeing this, Feng Chengjin immediately grabbed her wrist. Gu Zixuan turned to look back, and Feng Chengjin showed her his phone, "I’ve finished." The gentle smile on his perfect handsome face was uniquely captivating to a woman’s heart. Gu Zixuan’s cheeks reddened further, glancing again to finally feel relieved and settled in. Her nervous stance made Feng Chengjin’s smile deepen, and as he followed her wrist, he held her palm, "It seems you’re quite nervous about my return to the country?" The delicate touch made people feel comfortable and full of a sense of security. Gu Zixuan nodded, "After all, you’re quite busy, and you rushed back because I had some trouble." Feng Chengjin pursed his lips more deeply, "It’s not entirely because of that." "What else?" Gu Zixuan asked in surprise. Feng Chengjin turned his face, thinking about each day in Germany, from the first day Gu Zixuan left Shangpin Yuncui, he felt a strong reluctance in his heart, to the tenth day, in Germany’s lonely nights, tossing and turning, even hearing about Jonas messing around made his blood boil. He thought about Gu Zixuan to a crazy level without Jonas. He smirked, "What do you think?" What could she possibly think? Gu Zixuan uncertainly looked at Feng Chengjin, until slowly, as if understanding something. Not to mention she only recently found out that someone of Feng Chengjin’s level doesn’t actually need to go to the company every day, most of the time it’s social engagements, and actually half the year he’s busy outside. Just those days, she made herself busier to dull the feeling of wanting to call or text Feng Chengjin when she had free time. Blushing, she slowly said, "It can’t be because you miss me, right..."
