Gu Zixuan was quite surprised when He Qimo called at this time.
However, knowing that Feng Chengjin no longer minded He Qimo, she raised the phone, giving a slightly awkward smile, "It’s He Qimo calling, I’ll take it."
Feng Chengjin gave Gu Zixuan a deep gaze and nodded, "Mm."
Everything was fine until the moment the call connected. As Gu Zixuan bent down to answer, He Qimo’s soft, low voice came from the slightly drafty receiver, "Zixuan, I heard Dad is back, is that true?"
Gu Zixuan answered naturally, "Mm, he’s back."
In an instant, it deeply pierced Feng Chengjin’s dark eyes.
Gu Zixuan walked away, her thoughts a bit scattered, and she didn’t notice until she reached a quiet place in the corridor to take the call.
Feng Chengjin watched her lips form the word "Dad" with He Qimo’s name, feeling an even deeper sense of loss.
He Qimo’s questions today were very clingy, and Gu Zixuan understood what he meant. But even with Shen Jian妮, some things needed to be dealt with, so she responded patiently. She hadn’t communicated about He Qimo’s emotional state for several days, so she took the chance to ask a few more questions.
The marriage was over, and perhaps they both knew it wasn’t possible in this lifetime. Whether He Qimo liked it or not, Gu Zixuan felt that no matter the regret, they could only be friends in this life.
What surprised Gu Zixuan was that during her first conversation, when she turned around to look, Feng Chengjin was still sitting in the same place.
During the second, when she turned to look again, he was still there.
But the third time, the chat lasted longer, about 11 or 12 minutes.
When she turned around again, Feng Chengjin was gone...
Gu Zixuan stared blankly at the empty seat, scanning once more to see any counter or group conversing people, but there was no sign of Feng Chengjin. On the other end, He Qimo asked a question, but Gu Zixuan didn’t respond.
He Qimo sounded puzzled, "Zixuan, what’s wrong?"
Gu Zixuan pursed her lips, not saying much, just said, "Oh, nothing. I have something to do now. I’ll call you back tonight, okay?"
Sensing something was off with Gu Zixuan’s tone, He Qimo replied, "Okay, call me if you need anything." Dıscover more novels at novęlfire.net
Gu Zixuan picked up the phone again and looked around to confirm Feng Chengjin still wasn’t there.
She walked to the men’s restroom entrance, watching people coming in and out; there was no sign of Feng Chengjin. She saw many men looking at her with admiration and gave an embarrassed low laugh, but still, she didn’t see Feng Chengjin’s figure emerging.
This time, the response she got was, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off..."
It’s not out of the service area, nor temporarily unavailable, but switched off...
In an instant, Gu Zixuan didn’t know if she was just being sensitive, but she felt like she was back eight years ago, suddenly waking up with a jolt, "He Qimo" became He Qimo, and that sudden shift left her heart, vacant for so many years, inexplicable. The fleeting beauty etched deeply into her heart, leaving her bewildered and exhausted for eight years...
At this moment, that sense of helplessness weighted heavily again.
Last time, he left without a word because it was something urgent.
This time, is it the same?
