Looking at the slip in her hand, Gu Zixuan had no answers.
She sat back in her original seat in a daze.
She didn’t make any more calls, just hoping the phone would remain silent, waiting for his call to come through.
But as time moved from 2:36 to 3:22, then to 4:15, and finally when their number was already called, Gu Zixuan still hadn’t seen Feng Chengjin return.
Eventually, the civil affairs bureau closed, and the staff came to usher her out.
"Miss, Miss? Are you still registering? Where’s your husband? Is he coming? We’re closing."
Only then did Gu Zixuan look up and realize that the clock was already pointing to 5:30...
In an environment where Feng Chengjin never appeared, Gu Zixuan clenched the number slip in her palm, gave the staff an awkward smile, "Oh, no registration today, my husband had something come up."
Then as the staff locked the door, her steps wavered slightly, and a staff member gave her a hand, "Miss, are you alright?"
Gu Zixuan shook her head, "I’m fine."
Leaving the civil affairs bureau.
Yet, at the moment of leaving, Gu Zixuan glanced back at the solemn place she had missed twice.
At that moment, Feng Chengjin hadn’t been quite right since he left home, a feeling she constantly overlooked, combined with the clarity given by his absence all afternoon.
She truly didn’t know why things had progressed to this point.
Touching her abdomen.
Gu Zixuanxin’s heart ached with ripples she couldn’t stop.
Baby, is it because the first time mom didn’t know about your dad’s existence, and the second time didn’t know about you, and the first marriage was a mistake, and the second chance was missed, that your dad is retaliating against me? But mom really didn’t know the last time, why, now that I know, does it still have to be ?
Cheng Jin, what did I do wrong? Why do I always feel that everyone around me is hiding so much from me, and I’m the only one who’s completely clueless... Google seaʀᴄh Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
Gu Zixuan’s heart felt bitter as she stared at the bustling city lights ahead, bewildered...
On the other side of the city.
On the rooftop of Feng Chengxuan’s studio.
This was the top floor of Rong City’s biotech experimental hall. Due to Feng Chengxuan’s special status, he had the entire rooftop relaxing area to himself.
Standing outside the white rooftop.
Feng Chengjin overlooked the silent biotech park, not speaking for a long time.
It wasn’t until Feng Chengxuan, clad in a white lab coat, approached, noticed his appearance, and sighed deeply as he took off his gloves, "So you just came over ? Not getting married?"
Feng Chengjin folded his hands on the railing of the rooftop. If you looked closely, you could see his knuckles were slightly turning white.
There was hesitation; it was clear his emotions were very restrained at the moment.
Making this decision was also painful.
But after a long time, he still shook his head and firmly let go.
"Forget it, wait a bit longer, I’m afraid if we get married, by the time she finds out, she’ll think I tricked her into marriage..."
Feng Chengjin’s voice was hoarse and dry, and Feng Chengxuan felt a piercing pain in his heart.
As if understanding his feelings, a hint of suspicious moisture gathered in his eyes...
