Mo Tong slightly squinted his eyes and spoke, "Is this the arrangement for the year-end travel?" "Yes." Musa was unsure of Feng Chengjin’s tone, especially since, before Feng returned this time, rumors in the company suggested an ambiguous relationship between Gu Zixuan and Feng Chengjin. So, this trip was both a routine business matter and a chance to clarify what she had heard about Feng Chengjin pursuing Gu Zixuan to the door. She wanted to understand, "We’ve scheduled Australia and a few places in Europe, with Saipan Island as an alternative. Ultimately, everyone decided on Saipan Island because most people want to sunbathe, and it’s said that President Feng has a yacht there that they want to experience..." Feng Chengjin didn’t mind this reasoning, as he was always generous. He picked up the silver-edged pen from his desk and swiftly signed his name on the page listing the route plans and estimated costs. Opening the second page and seeing the list of names, his sharp eyes paused, and he curled his lips, "Gu Zixuan is not on the list?" The unusual address made Musa’s heart tighten, and she responded with a businesslike tone, "Their project department just started, and they’re busy. Besides, according to the company’s recruitment process, she doesn’t have vacation or travel benefits this year..." Pausing a bit, meeting Feng Chengjin’s somewhat deep gaze, she bit her lip and said, "Of course, the most important thing is that Director Gu herself doesn’t want to go. I’ve already asked her..." "Her opinion doesn’t matter; include her on the list." While signing his beautiful name on the second page, Feng Chengjin manually wrote Gu Zixuan’s name on the list. The peculiar treatment made Musa’s heart tighten further. Clenching her fists, she said, "Feng, are you planning to prepare this for Young Master Feng..." Before she could finish, she met Feng Chengjin’s piercing gaze. Locked in a stare, Feng Chengjin looked at this woman who had been headhunted with a high salary not long after the company’s founding and who had indeed established great merit for Feng Yi over the years. To some extent, she had also managed to attract all the social relationships and talents he needed in line with his thoughts. He smirked, "Musa, I remember you’ve always kept out of my private matters." The two simple words weighed heavily on Musa’s heart like a boulder, further delineating the distance between them. Feng Chengjin laughed further, "Besides, the contract we signed initially was an employment contract, not a marriage contract, right?" Feng Chengjin spoke lazily, his eyes lowered slightly, reviewing the detailed names in the document list, as if inadvertently. But as astute as Musa was, she fully understood. Slightly clenching her fingers, her eyelashes trembled lightly. She did not press any further. After a pause, she said, "President Feng, I understand." As Feng Chengjin finished signing all the documents, handing the folder to her without saying anything further, she carried herself proudly and turned to leave. However, just before she was about to exit, Feng Chengjin called her back. He said, "For the year-end travel, choose another place, Zurich is nice for a nice change of pace." Is he planning to cut off her ties with all the female companions he’s previously traveled with? You have to know, at parties and business trips, whenever Feng Chengjin lacked a female companion and disliked inviting complex society ladies, it was always her he called... Musa’s pupils dilated, filled with ripples of disbelief. Yet Feng Chengjin just curled his lips, "This is for your own good." There was no clearer hint than this, clarifying the relationship between Feng Chengjin and Gu Zixuan. Musa’s body trembled, and after a pause, she couldn’t help but finally ask the question, "Where am I lacking?" Feng Chengjin smiled, leaning back into his leather chair, placing his hands on his abdomen. He didn’t hide it; he calmly and slowly articulated a simple sentence, "It’s not about lacking anywhere. It’s just that she is inherently my wife..." When Musa stormed out in anger. Yun Fan shook his head, walking in with a smile, "I have to say, you truly are a stern King Yan. You started the company together, and you turned cold just like that. Such a proud woman, and you tell her upfront that Miss Gu is your wife, aren’t you worried she’ll resign tomorrow?" "Whether she resigns or not, I don’t care." Feng Chengjin chuckled, pointing to the sofa for Yun Fan. While walking over to the American coffee machine, pouring coffee beans and brewing coffee, he added. "Even at the most challenging time, if she decides to do this, I’d be the same. A partner is just a partner. Taking advantage of my absence, she stabbed my family in the back for her own personal desire. She’s no longer the person she was; there’s no need for me to maintain the previous relationship." After brewing the coffee, he brought it in front of Yun Fan, who took a sip, smacking his lips. Then, shaking his head with a smile, "That’s one way to put it. But still, she truly didn’t know. Unaware and without fault, losing such a capable warrior, you’d regret it." "Nothing to regret; I can’t provide what she wants. If she insists, leaving would be better. As for ability... Zixuan will make up for it." "Her?" Thinking of Gu Zixuan’s intelligence and vision, Yun Fan was still certain, but thinking about her personality, he couldn’t help but shake his head, "Too gentle, no temper. As a wife, I type, but for work, she’s somewhat competent, somewhat... lacking?" Feng Chengjin chuckled at the remark, "That’s because you haven’t seen her before." "Before?" Yun Fan was puzzled. "Yes." Feng Chengjin also took a sip of coffee, nodding, "You all think I’m impressive only because of my business acumen, but in reality, dealing with government departments is my weak point. Have you ever seen a girl who got into Columbia at 16 with a full scholarship and, by 18, had already showcased remarkable talents in business, politics, music, and art?" Yun Fan was stunned, his eyes widening momentarily with a hint of disbelief, "Her? At 18?" If that truly were the case, she wouldn’t be an ordinary woman; she’d be a genuine debutante... just temporarily newly exposed to society, not quite adapted. Once fully acclimated, she will surely be envied by everyone... Yun Fan shook his head, still somewhat disbelieving. Feng Chengjin smiled, recalling eight years ago in the hospital, he had read a financial paper written by Gu Zixuan during her leisure time, and she had mentioned how to get along with administrative staff while she was recovering... and her astonishing absolute pitch and painting talents. He didn’t say anything. Feng Chengjin was silent, leaving Yun Fan even more puzzled, feeling that not only Gu Zixuan had a story, but his long-time friend was also full of stories. But thinking about today’s events, he didn’t continue and instead returned to the main topic, asking, "What do you plan to do now? I’ve helped you send Miss Qi away, but I can’t do anything about your wife..." Feng Chengjin paused for a moment, recalling the tantrum Gu Zixuan had thrown earlier today. For a moment, all the worries and irritations flooded his mind, he sighed, feeling helpless to an extreme... When notified to join the year-end company trip, Gu Zixuan was very surprised. Adhering to the principle of not skipping work every day, she went back to work the next day, but always avoided facing Feng Chengjin. Feng Chengjin seemed to understand he had annoyed her, felt guilty, and did not approach her at the company, but simply waited for her quietly after work every day. She would take a cab, and he would drive along, following her to the Gu Family. Watching her go upstairs. If she went somewhere else, either to eat or shop. He would silently appear by her side, swipe his card to pay. Then continue to follow her home, watching her go upstairs. He wouldn’t force himself on her, wouldn’t hug or kiss her, as if waiting for her anger to subside, also seemingly afraid that he might cause her to resent his forcefulness. In short, always quietly accompanying, waiting. Until finally, faced with the company year-end trip, Gu Zixuan reluctantly agreed, wanting to get away and relax. But at the moment of boarding the plane, she realized... This trip was one where mid-to-high-level employees participated, with an accompanying vice president each year to make on-spot purchase decisions for certain high-profile projects, and this year it was Feng Chengjin... Moreover, her seat... Looking at the figure beside seat 02, she pursed her lips, said nothing at that moment, handed her ticket to Qin Nuo, and without further ado, took Qin Nuo’s regular ticket, found a seat by the window and settled down. At the same time, she pulled down her eye mask, ready to sleep. After all, it was a chartered plane, sitting anywhere didn’t matter. She used to not want to display her relationship with Feng Chengjin publicly, now she wanted it even less! However, not long after, accompanied by the bewilderment of the entire cabin, including the thirty-some mid-to-high-level colleagues. A familiar presence and aura swept in from beside her. Gu Zixuan was slightly surprised. Before she could pull down her own eye mask, a pair of long and clean hands had already helped her do so. "Don’t want to sit in the front?" Feng Chengjin felt slightly helpless, with a sigh that couldn’t be expressed. After a pause, seeing her remain silent, even with an intention to subtly distance herself from him. Feng Chengjin sighed more deeply, took a seat beside her. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novelFirｅ.net This action brought sideways glances from everyone. Especially among those who had firmly believed recently that Gu Zixuan was Future Young Madam Feng, their expressions now were utterly stunned and shocked! Gu Zixuan wanted to avoid, "Why are you sitting here?" What shocked Gu Zixuan even more was the awareness of her identity, which was actually unsuitable to be publicly revealed among the company’s people, and Feng Chengjin was rational enough not to do such a thing, as it would cause many troubles... even if it was to humor her, it wasn’t necessary... Feng Chengjin leaned in, wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her into his embrace, simultaneously, with a kiss accompanied by the gasps of the entire cabin, landed on her forehead. He spoke, his voice carrying a gentle rasp and faint tenderness. "Don’t be angry, okay?"
