Gu Zixuan was puzzled, and before she could ask, he opened the driver’s side door and gestured to the passenger seat, "Over there, I’ll take you back."
Gu Zixuan was completely stunned. Turning around, she noticed for the first time that Feng Chengjin’s driver was following her with the car without her knowing.
Staring at the bright streetlights outside the villa, Gu Zixuan shook her head, "No need, I can go back by myself."
Feng Chengjin smiled, supporting the car door with one hand, tapping his watch with his fingertip, "Miss Gu, this is the outskirts of Pinghu District. It’s already 11 PM. Even if you’re not afraid of walking at night, it’s still quite deserted here. I must ensure your safety."
"..." Gu Zixuan lifted her eyes, her heart faintly trembling.
On the way back, Gu Zixuan looked at the man driving beside her, still somewhat confused.
The clean white shirt complemented his exceptionally handsome face, with deep-set eyes hinting at his complex inner world.
Yet his midnight-like eyes occasionally revealed gentleness and calm.
Could it be that the man at work and in life are two completely different people?
He, however, was solely focused on studying her car. After accelerating and decelerating a few times, he looked at the road and asked, "This car’s performance is average, probably the mid-range version of the z4, lacking power, weak in acceleration. Even though it’s turbocharged, it’s slower than a sedan. Mr. He shouldn’t be short of money, why don’t you get a new one?"
Gu Zixuan felt a sharp pain in her heart and turned her face away.
Her silence made Feng Chengjin look her up and down with his deep gaze and also remain silent.
A long time passed, and as the atmosphere remained quiet and they were nearing He Mansion,
Gu Zixuan slowly spoke, "Sorry about earlier."
Feng Chengjin didn’t mind, "It’s nothing."
After turning a corner, he continued, "But post-marriage income is joint property. You shouldn’t feel it has to be something he gives you to mean that he wants to give it to you. If he lets you manage the card, it amounts to the same thing."
Once again, these heart-piercing words left Gu Zixuan stunned, and she quickly raised her eyes.
"How do you... know everything!"
Feng Chengjin was momentarily stunned, turned his head to see Gu Zixuan’s alarmed expression, and couldn’t help but chuckle, "Is it hard to guess? Mr. He works alongside you in company business, so it’s only natural he wouldn’t keep financial secrets. If you don’t change cars, apart from being stubborn and caring in your heart, what else could it be?"
At that moment, Gu Zixuan truly realized Feng Chengjin’s alarming perceptiveness.
Raising her eyes, she looked at him suspiciously, "Are you sure you’ve never had a girlfriend or been in a relationship?"
Feng Chengjin was slightly stunned, then smiled, "Haven’t had a girlfriend for sure, but as for relationships... had a crush for two weeks, does that count?"
Two weeks? But not a girlfriend?
Gu Zixuan frowned, "What’s that supposed to mean?"
"Unrequited love, I guess." Feng Chengjin shrugged nonchalantly.
Gu Zixuan was gravely shocked, looking at Feng Chengjin’s almost perfect exterior and interior, finding it hard to believe such a man would experience unrequited love. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NovєlFіre.net
But seeing his current nonchalant demeanor, she thought, there was likely no pretense, and he had also moved on.
Nodding slightly, she looked at the streets nearing her doorstep, "Okay, just drop me off here."
Feng Chengjin glanced at the distance, knowing she was also avoiding suspicion, and pulled the car to the side to stop.
Gu Zixuan unbuckled her seatbelt, intending to thank him before getting out of the car.
Likewise unbuckling his seatbelt, Feng Chengjin spoke first, "Remember to work early tomorrow, and if I don’t see results in three days, I’ll directly present the documents at the meeting."
