Feng Chengjin picked a few fruits from the fruit platter, put them on a small crystal dish, and handed it to Gu Zixuan.
The gentlemanly gesture made Gu Zixuan’s eyes flicker slightly.
Feng Chengjin looked at Gu Zixuan’s expression, his dark eyes probing, and said, "Didn’t have dinner?"
Gu Zixuan took a small bite of the apple, unsure how he knew.
Feng Chengjin stared at her astonished expression and smiled.
He pressed the service bell on the table, and when the waiter came back in, he arranged for some Western dishes to be brought over.
Only then did he cross his hands and rest them on the table.
He said, "Women your age usually skip dinner to lose weight and avoid cakes and such. I saw you chose a tight dress today, probably didn’t eat..."
As his gaze shifted downward, Gu Zixuan glanced at her own flat stomach even while sitting, her heart trembled slightly.
In fact, she hadn’t eaten lunch because she was upset, and was indeed a bit hungry now.
Feng Chengjin didn’t look around randomly, he quickly glanced at her stomach and then looked away.
Gu Zixuanxin felt a warm sense of calm, an indescribable feeling.
Soon, the Western dishes were brought in, maybe because of his instructions, they seemed almost custom-made.
The chef in a white uniform not only prepared French foie gras on site but also lit candles when serving the Australian lobster.
The atmosphere was romantic, and Gu Zixuan began to dine.
Feng Chengjin, seemingly out of gentlemanly manners, casually ate with her. Google seaʀᴄh novel~fire~net
Gu Zixuan ate while gazing at the composed and reserved man in front of her.
In fact, when he said he wasn’t the boss of "Economic Vision" magazine, she didn’t believe him at all.
Because she knew very well that in the economic circle, Yutian Magazine always had a behind-the-scenes boss who never showed up.
Her mind stirred, she took a small sip of red wine, and said, "This is an investment banquet, what brought you here tonight?"
Feng Chengjin cut the foie gras and calmly uttered two words from his thin lips, "Blind date."
"Uh!" Gu Zixuan was startled, almost unable to hold back from spitting out her sip of red wine.
But in the end, she didn’t make such a rude gesture.
The wine stayed in her mouth, hard to swallow or spit out.
She looked at him in shock.
He raised his gaze, his deep dark eyes wandering over her face, suddenly realizing something, laughed out a "Sss," "Of course, I don’t mean with you."
Gu Zixuan’s face quickly turned red, she lowered her gaze, cutting the foie gras and said, "I was just saying, how could I be so unlucky, eight years ago we had a blind date, and eight years later meeting again and it’s still about this."
Feng Chengjin was stunned, amusedly raised an eyebrow.
"A blind date with me is demeaning?"
Gu Zixuan shook her head, "No, just thinking that I’m married, if Mr. Feng was waiting for me tonight, that would be really presumptuous."
Feng Chengjin smiled with a curve, "You don’t seem like someone who belittles themselves."
"But not arrogant either."
The poised demeanor was charming, accentuated by the candlelight of a dinner for two.
Feng Chengjin’s gaze deepened briefly, as he lowered his eyes to continue cutting the foie gras.
However, for Gu Zixuan, her curiosity had been aroused and could not be suppressed.
Looking at Feng Chengjin’s nearly perfect appearance, and considering his current esteemed status in Rong City, she pondered for a while, cautiously asking, "But, you haven’t married over these years?"
"No." He answered straightforwardly.
"Not even a girlfriend?"
As soon as Gu Zixuan asked this, she regretted it, for she saw the momentary amused glint in his eyes.
