As she entered, Gu Zixuan was stunned and froze in place. Behind her, Housekeeper Li couldn’t help but gasp, his whole body stiffening like stone. Even the curious servants, drawn by Gu Zixuan’s unusual behavior and wanting to see what was happening, collectively gasped. Gu Zixuan’s eyes trembled slightly. Until they became misty with tears... The room held nothing else but some old belongings and a multitude of photographs. Black and white, color, from the front, from the side... They formed a complete photo wall. Gu Zixuan didn’t know how many photos there were, she just knew that in all the images, there was only one girl-like woman... And the largest photo in front of her. The girl was turning her head towards the sunlight, smiling, the warm light pouring over the strands of hair at the base of her ear, highlighting her snow-white dress. At that time, the girl hadn’t pierced her ears; they were clean with a faint fuzz. The deep chestnut-black hair complemented her fair skin, the girl was sitting on a brown long wooden bench, as if in thought or feeling the essence of life. Beneath her was the hospital’s lawn, and in the distance stood an exceedingly lush water cedar. Everyone around was even more astonished. Especially those who had been in the villa for years. Every one of them knew that this room, which was never opened, definitely contained images of Feng Chengjin’s former love, but no one knew what that woman looked like. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveI-Fire.ɴet And now, across the wheels of time. The girl in the photo completely overlapped with the figure of the woman standing right in front of them... For Gu Zixuan, she could no longer stop the trembling of her heart, her eyes slightly rippling. Because it was a photo taken when she was blind in the United States hospital, "He Qimo" amused her by letting her feel its texture, but after her vision returned, she never saw it again. Gu Zixuan quietly and tremblingly watched the scenes ahead. Until she stepped forward to look at the other things. Beside the white sofa by the patio windows, a pot of white lilacs on a small white round table swayed gently. She picked up a slightly aged phone next to it and turned it on... It booted normally, showing stored messages that hadn’t been deleted. [Will you ever try to forget someone for years, and then suddenly remember them one day?] Her eyes moist, she trembled as she touched the phone model from eight years ago, which she once touched... Putting it down, she picked up newspapers that had been stored for an unknown number of years. Brushing off the dust that likely hadn’t been disturbed for a long time. She read each word of the headlines on the front pages. [Gu Family’s daughter marries the He Family’s eldest son today, He Family’s Junsheng Group expected to thrive.] [Rong City’s top socialite to settle down, hundreds of dignitaries attended the wedding.] [Gu Family’s daughter...] Finally, there was a group photo taken by local media in Rong City at the time. Beside her in the red formal dress, the ink had been quietly smudged by some force, the edges of the newspaper had softened... indicating how many times it had been looked at and touched... Her lashes trembled more intensely, and she couldn’t control the swirling emotions within. Large tears splattered onto the newspaper’s center. Coming to himself, Housekeeper Li watched as Gu Zixuan picked up a stack of various invitations. Suddenly recalling those important gatherings from the past, where the gentleman refused to go despite being urged, and in the end, found the invitations missing... In a daze, he looked at the photos and understood something, sighed without speaking. And Gu Zixuan opened them, seeing those well-known gatherings. She had attended many banquets before... Her lips tightened, trembling, her throat completely choked with emotion... Bit by bit, she looked through everything completely. Even discovering some lost manuscripts she had misplaced in her student apartment, she was unable to control her internal emotions anymore. She sat on the sofa, tears in her eyes, covering her gaze with her hand, and said, "Uncle Li, you all may leave." Housekeeper Li and the servants, already shocked into stone, paused, nodded, and replied, "Alright." They prepared to leave. Before turning away, Gu Zixuan’s voice drifted over again, "Don’t tell him I came in and looked; if he calls back, just tell him to come directly." "Alright." Housekeeper Li’s eyelashes trembled as she looked at Gu Zixuan, who was crying silently with her shoulders slightly shaking. Feeling a ripple of emotion, she closed the door, ensuring no one else would disturb Gu Zixuan, and withdrew. Feng Chengjin took the second flight, having barely missed the earlier one. His brows had been furrowed since, never relaxing. It wasn’t until he contacted home and understood that Gu Zixuan had already gone to the villa that his expression finally eased a bit, though his brows knit even tighter. Qin Nuo knew he was anxious and didn’t dare to make a sound the entire way. Boarding the plane to catch a flight, disembarking to a car heading to the villa. He hurried all the way with dust on his clothes. When the car arrived at the villa, before the driver could even come to a complete stop, Feng Chengjin opened the car door and stepped out with his long legs. He hadn’t changed his clothes or rested in almost twenty hours. Putting aside all the things encountered on Saipan Island, he hadn’t slept at the airport trying to catch the second flight. His white shirt was covered with wrinkles, and even the Armani pants had lost their shape. Qin Nuo wanted to suggest that he change clothes, shower, and rest before going, but it was too late. He moved away from the car door and entered the villa. He pushed open the door and went upstairs, heading straight to the bedroom. Standing at the door, he took a deep breath. When he twisted the silver, floral-patterned door handle open, and looked at the woman sitting inside the bed against the soft white swan pillows, his heart finally settled at this moment. A gentle calmness descended. He quietly watched Gu Zixuan. Gu Zixuan was also looking at him. Their gazes intertwined in the air until, after a while, he walked step by step to her side. Sitting down, he sat at the edge of the bed, took her hand, and said softly, "Zixuan, it’s not that I don’t want you to meet my family, nor do I mind your current situation. I just felt that with all the company colleagues there, I was worried my father might do something that would put you in an embarrassing situation..." After speaking, he faced Gu Zixuan who was quietly watching him, saying nothing. He seemed to feel that this explanation wasn’t good enough, "Trust me, give me some time, everything can be resolved, okay?" Gu Zixuan continued to say nothing. Feng Chengjin then felt even more inexplicably helpless, paused, and pondered how to explain what he wanted to say next. Gu Zixuan’s soft voice drifted over, "I believe you." Feng Chengjin was somewhat stunned, his dark pupils slightly rippling in the air, as if he couldn’t believe that Gu Zixuan agreed so quickly. Gu Zixuan, on the other hand, was staring at his somewhat tired face, the lips filled with restraint, the heart that held onto everything finally landed on the corners of his eyes that no longer appeared young, marked by signs of time passing. Indescribable colors flowed, hidden. Finally, she asked lightly, "Are you tired?" Feng Chengjin was even more bewildered, instinctively shaking his head, "Not tired." However, Gu Zixuan was already pushing him up, "Go take a shower." At that moment, Feng Chengjin was even more confused, his handsome eyebrows slightly frowning. However, Gu Zixuan’s calmness made him feel that she seemed to really believe his words. Moreover, seemingly sensing that he might be tense, Gu Zixuan, while pushing him to the bathroom door, added, "I won’t leave, I’ll stay here, take your time, rest for a while first." Then she closed the door and left. Feng Chengjin guessed that this was the most anxious shower he’d ever taken; even during the rinse, he pushed open the door several times, wanting to come out directly and talk everything over with Gu Zixuan first. However, every time he opened the door, what he saw was Gu Zixuan quietly waiting for him, who upon seeing him, simply said, "Finish your shower first." Feng Chengjin pressed his lips, frowned with little knots of not knowing what was happening, and had to hurriedly finish showering to relieve the exhaustion from rushing all the way, then changed clothes and came out. Sitting down on the bedside again, he was more neatly dressed. In his thoughts, he quickly organized his speech, doing so also to consider that if any explanation failed, and if Gu Zixuan got angry again and wanted to leave, he would be ready at any moment to follow her and hold onto her. However, Gu Zixuan maintained her previous posture, softly saying to him, "Come up." Feng Chengjin was further puzzled, meeting her eyes, certain that she was inviting him to the bed. He looked at her uncertainly a few times, and then at the quilt she had lifted, slowly lay down next to her. The next moment, as he wanted to hold her waist, to say something, Gu Zixuan’s softer words floated over, "Take it off." This time, Feng Chengjin was thoroughly stunned and petrified. What further petrified him was that after two seconds, seeing he hadn’t moved, Gu Zixuan’s snow-white lotus arm reached over, wrapped around his neck, and at the same time, she leaned in for a kiss...
