Gu Zixuan and Yu Yuanshen silently faced each other. After a long pause, Yu Yuanshen spoke slowly, "You lack confidence?" Gu Zixuan’s heart trembled, and she turned away. She didn’t know how to describe her current feelings, "You know my situation too, divorce, though the reputation issue hasn’t spread wildly, it is known in small circles. It’s not difficult for his parents to find out. Once it becomes public with him, it’s only a matter of time before it’s dug up, I..." As she reached the end, Gu Zixuan found herself unable to continue. Aside from her sorrow for Feng Chengjin, Brother Yu in front of her once feared nothing, yet she refused...she didn’t have the face for it. Then as a sea breeze blew, her voice filled with more sorrow, "He might think my situation is problematic too, otherwise why would he announce it at the company, yet when facing his parents, he..." Gu Zixuan said no more. But her pained expression made Yu Yuanshen understand her well. After all, even if it’s for other women, Gu Zixuan had just crawled out of the hell of a failed marriage. No one understands the harm of family disapproval on marriage more than Gu Zixuan, nor is anyone more sensitive than her. No matter if Feng Chengjin dares to announce it to the world, no matter how good he treats her, as long as he doesn’t dare to admit it to his parents...this barrier... Gu Zixuan was suffering, not knowing what to say. Yu Yuanshen’s eyes slightly rippled, letting the waves rise and fall. He was very clear that in front of him was a golden opportunity. Feng Chengjin told Zixuan nothing at all. If he took Gu Zixuan away at this moment, this misunderstanding, no matter how Feng Chengjin explained later, no matter what he clarified about the past, all... Yu Yuanshen’s brown eyes slightly trembled. His lips parted, then closed, closed, then parted again. These days, the longing for her sorrow was silently magnified at this moment. Finally, he deeply gazed at her eyes, lightly misted with sorrow, some greater heartache seeming to tear at his heart. After a deep breath, he said, "Haven’t you thought about asking him for the real reason?" "The real reason?" Gu Zixuan stunned for a moment, lifting her watery eyes to look at Yu Yuanshen. Yu Yuanshen smiled bitterly, perhaps in his life, he had never made such a difficult choice. Nor had he ever thought that one day he could do this... But just like he appeared in this malapropos time, at this malapropos place, looking at that pair of perfect twin silhouettes. His appearance, perhaps was never meant to gain, but to...fulfill. He spoke; word by word, "Zixuan, you’re not dumb, I believe being with him for so long, you must’ve sensed something, it’s just that some things are too incredible for you to believe." Gu Zixuan’s eyes widened. Yu Yuanshen continued, "There’s no need to struggle, since you’ve reached this point, just choose to believe him. Dig up the answer, it might be completely contrary to your current feelings. You...the way you are now, I admire more, but I know he loves how you were eight years ago." The tone of persuasion, combined with the sensitive mention of "eight years," made Gu Zixuan slightly shocked, "Brother Yu, you..." However, after speaking, Yu Yuanshen just gave a very bitter smile. Then got up, walked to the edge of the beach, and picked up Yu Youxuan. Aiming at Yu Youxuan’s second puzzled, "Daddy, what are you doing?" "Go back early, otherwise he and I will both worry." Yu Yuanshen walked away. In his closed eyes, all was trembling sorrow. Only now did Gu Zixuan hear in the wind and waves, the faint voice, "Miss Gu..." But she looked at Brother Yu’s terribly heartbroken silhouette... And recalled his words that were implied more clearly than ever... Her heart trembled to its limits... Gu Zixuan didn’t move until the young man from the HR department, drenched in sweat, finally shyly found her, "Miss Gu, fortunately, you’re still here. Why did you come here? Are you okay?" Gu Zixuan withdrew her gaze, quietly looking at the young man. The young man continued, "You don’t know, Secretary Qin and the President are worried sick..." Mentioning Feng Chengjin, only then did Gu Zixuan momentarily set aside her desperate wish to make up for Brother Yu’s sorrow, and said word by word, "What about him?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovelfire.net "The President?" the young man was startled, hesitated, and then truthfully said, "I already reported it, the President instructed us to find you no matter what. His father should still be there, once he leaves...hey..." Before the young man finished speaking, Gu Zixuan withdrew her trembling gaze and quickly turned away. She longed to see Feng Chengjin, but at this moment he was still meeting his father, she couldn’t manage. So, many other confusing things in her mind suddenly became so clear and transparent after Brother Yu’s reminder. There, it’s there, it must be there... Gu Zixuan couldn’t wait, trembling with her brows, she jogged along the beach to the beach road. The young man was terrified, shouting, "Director Gu, where are you going?" While he sprinted to catch up. He caught up at one point. Just as a taxi was passing by. Gu Zixuan grabbed the young man and together they stopped the taxi, getting in. The young man was utterly stunned, "Director Gu, where are we going?" After quickly telling the driver the destination, Gu Zixuan emphasized again in Chinese, "Airport." The young man was even more bewildered, "Why are we going to the airport?" Gu Zixuan stared ahead firmly, saying, "Back to Rong City." Grabbing the young man all the way back, Gu Zixuan’s documents were collected by an accompanying staff after arriving on Saipan Island, preparing to handle some preparation work for returning home in advance. In the afternoon, Gu Zixuan heard that this staff member encountered a small issue at the airport and was delayed. In the airport VIP lounge, finding that staff member, Gu Zixuan faced the astonishment and retrieved her documents, using the young man’s bank card to purchase a ticket, and then left. The young man tried all the way to send a report to Secretary Qin. However, it is an island, and the signal was sometimes good, sometimes bad. When the message was finally sent, it was close to boarding. The young man was at a loss, so he could only adhere to orders and closely follow Gu Zixuan all the way. Phone shutdown, flight, arrival in Rong City. This meteoric speed, whether it was Feng Chengjin who chased out to the beach afterward or heard the news and rushed to the airport. And... Feng Chengjin who heard that Gu Zixuan’s flight had already taken off. Qin Nuo was also embarrassed watching Feng Chengjin, always afraid to speak. Qin Nuo trembled, lowering his head in fear. Feng Chengjin’s face became even colder. Anxious, helpless, when multiple emotions mixed together, finally waiting for the second flight... Feng Chengjin put down the phone that had been calling the young man, but always got a shutdown response... irritatingly thinking about Gu Zixuan’s handbag left in the closet. He knew that this trip back, no matter what, he would have to talk to Gu Zixuan... No matter if she would forgive him or had the patience to listen to him finish explaining this long story... Gu Zixuan arrived in Rong City. Took a taxi and headed straight to Feng Chengjin’s villa. When Gu Zixuan entered, her swift steps, combined with her solitary return and cold face, made the housekeeper and others nervous. After all, Miss Gu had been angry with their president and had left the villa for many days. Returning so abruptly... Gu Zixuan wasn’t in the mood to wait, she bluntly asked, "Uncle Li, where is the key to that bedroom?" Housekeeper Li was stunned for a moment, uncertainly looking at Gu Zixuan’s expression, "Miss Gu wants to look now?" Housekeeper Li hesitated for a while, thinking that anyway, it’s the master’s past, the master could never put it aside, if Miss Gu couldn’t accept, then... perhaps it’s better for both. Housekeeper Li was broad-minded and had experienced many things. After a brief hesitation, he nodded, walked into the study. He pulled open an extremely hidden small drawer, took out a silver key from inside, handed it to Gu Zixuan, "Go ahead and look, just after you see, whether the result is good or bad, don’t blame the master for anything." Gu Zixuan nodded, she wouldn’t blame him. It’s just, what she wanted to know was different from what everyone else felt, she couldn’t explain it at this moment. Nodding, she heavily accepted it. But... she didn’t know how to describe her current mood. Complex, tangled, apprehensive. Even as she stood in front of the door, inserted the key, and turned the equally silver lock, with her fingertips on the silver carved handle, she trembled, not knowing if she should push it open. At the door, Housekeeper Li, who had never seen what was inside the room either, watched Gu Zixuan’s strange attitude, and was inexplicably tense. Until after a long pause, Gu Zixuan adjusted her mood and breathing, thinking about the wave of speculation that had already turned her heart upside down. Taking a deep breath, she pushed the door open... Upon entering, Gu Zixuan was stunned in shock.
