Feng Chengjin finished freshening up and went downstairs.
Walking casually as he adjusted his shirt cuffs, his demeanor was incredibly distinguished no matter what he did.
Just as he reached the staircase, he saw a stunning silhouette sitting in the central area of the white floor-to-ceiling living room.
His fingertips paused.
She had a slender figure, perfectly proportioned, with slightly brownish long hair gently curled draping over her shoulders, complementing her delicate and charming face with exquisite features. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ n0velfire.net
The black short dress she wore did not seem high and cold, but rather exuded a hint of subtle elegance.
His eyes flickered, "Miss Gu?"
Gu Zixuan rose upon hearing him, glanced at the place he had come down from, and smiled faintly, "Mr. Feng does have a regular routine, you wake up quite early."
The sunlight created a beautiful halo between them.
Feng Chengjin glanced at the time, now 7:35, then glanced at the butler, whose face was somewhat embarrassed as if uncertain whether to wake him up earlier. He shook his head.
Smoothing out his amusement, "You seem to be quite familiar with my house, as if treating it like your own."
"Otherwise, where would I repay Mr. Feng? I don’t think a company is the place for such discussions."
Feng Chengjin walked towards the dining room, Gu Zixuan followed with a smile.
The two of them, one handsome and one beautiful, formed a harmonious silhouette, not to mention Gu Zixuan wearing slippers while Feng Chengjin was nearly a head taller.
The butler stared for a moment, then retreated outside the villa and closed the door.
Ten minutes later, sitting at the white modern-designed dining table in the dining room.
Behind them, was a completely open kitchen, where a tidy foreign chef was preparing breakfast for Feng Chengjin, aside from necessary frying, without making a sound.
Feng Chengjin was dining.
Looking at the woman who arrived, he didn’t even know what time she came, having already had breakfast.
While spreading peanut butter on his toast, he chuckled, "If this debt isn’t repaid, are you planning not to sleep or eat?"
The breakfast was abundant, seemingly prepared with her in mind, with not only the necessary French pastries but also salads, fruits, and more.
The teasing made Gu Zixuan blush slightly, "It’s not that serious. I actually ate before coming here, Brother Yu made breakfast for me."
Feng Chengjin was slightly taken aback, discreetly glanced at her.
He took a bite of his toast and nodded, "Is it really necessary to repay the money?"
The topic shift caught Gu Zixuan off guard, and she nodded, "One should not receive undeserved rewards, even though we consider ourselves friends, Mr. Feng..."
After a pause, she said, "Feng Chengjin, I appreciate your concern, but I cannot accept the money."
The abrupt halt made Feng Chengjin lift his gaze and ponder for a while before nodding, "Alright."
The straightforwardness made Gu Zixuan flinch.
But when she looked again, she met Feng Chengjin’s calm and serene demeanor.
The strange emotions that had lingered in her heart all night vanished completely, and she breathed a sigh of relief, quickly taking out her phone.
Feng Chengjin took a sip of milk and began to report his card number.
Gu Zixuan performed step by step actions, but when she reached the payment step, a sudden alert made her freeze.
Her rigid body made Feng Chengjin, who was previously expressionless, curiously glance over.
He put down the glass, his gaze landing on the phone screen, and his lips suddenly curved up.
