Jinyue Zijing Mansion.
At 10:36 PM, Gu Zixuan finally completed a draft of the project proposal.
She let out a long sigh, wanting to send it to Feng Chengjin for a look. As she picked up her phone, she hesitated, staring at the time.
Should she send it or not?
She brushed her hair back and frowned, deep in thought.
She got up, paced around twice, then went to the fridge to get a bottle of water, which she opened and took a sip from.
Returning to her seat, she looked at the time—10:42—took a deep breath, snapped a photo of the proposal, and sent it.
Ping Lake District suburban villa.
Feng Chengjin had just showered and was lying on the bed reading a magazine. Hearing his phone buzz, he picked it up from the pillow warmly lit by the lamp, swiped his finger across the screen, and glanced at it. A smile played on his lips.
[Disturbing me late at night again?]
Gu Zixuan muttered under her breath, knowing that Feng Chengjin wasn’t the type to get angry. Blushing, she replied, [Can you see if the draft’s direction is okay?]
Feng Chengjin scrolled up and down with his finger, browsing through it, [Better than I imagined. It seems that being courteous before getting down to business is effective. You didn’t just go through the motions.]
Gu Zixuan was amused, [Alright, if it’s okay, I’ll work on the detailed plan and find a day to discuss with you face to face.]
The message came peacefully. Gu Zixuan looked and figured he wouldn’t say anything more, so she closed her phone, ready for sleep.
However, her phone chimed again.
[You’re working until this time?]
In the night illuminated only by a small lamp, this inexplicably warm message seemed out of place.
Gu Zixuan, tired from the day, lay in bed, feeling a small warmth in her heart.
Especially recalling those nights with He Qimo, sleeping under the same roof, even after a long day, both lay silent.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Coming back to her senses, she slowly replied, [Did I disturb your rest?]
[No, I’m still reading the magazine, usually sleep at 11:30.] His response was leisurely, just at the right pace.
Gu Zixuan: [Oh, you have a pretty regular schedule.]
Feng Chengjin replied helplessly, [Mainly because there’s nothing else to do at night. That’s single life for you.]
"..." Instantly, Gu Zixuan was amused.
Her heart opened up, and she began texting back and forth with Feng Chengjin.
With his temperament downplayed, Feng Chengjin seemed very easy-going, more so than anyone she had ever met, as if, so long as you didn’t touch upon his sore spots, he could be like a warm lamp, accompanying you through countless dreary nights.
Moreover, he had a broad range of interests and extensive knowledge. From every corner of the earth, sky, and all over, whatever you knew, he could chat about and explain.
Time unknowingly moved to 1:24 AM, and she didn’t even notice.
As she started feeling sleepy, she faced Feng Chengjin’s question, [Are you staying at Miss Yu’s and not going home?]
She chuckled and replied, [Where else could I go? Going back to the He Family is tough right now, and as for my parents, I don’t want them to worry...]
A faintly helpless tone left Feng Chengjin silent on the other end.
After a moment of pause, and not getting a reply from him, Gu Zixuan thought he was sleepy and debated saying goodnight.
Suddenly, there was a "ding" sound; a message had arrived. For original chapters go to novel⦿fire.net
Instantly, Gu Zixuan’s eyes widened as she sat up straight.
The message was from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
At 1:27 AM, her account received 5 million, with a balance showing 7,491,234.22...
