Feng Chengjin chuckled softly, his dark eyes seemingly reflecting countless brilliant stars.
Gu Zixuan watched him, knowing he was teasing her again. Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she looked away, "You’re just being too bad." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novᴇlfire.net
Feng Chengjin didn’t deny it, shrugging his shoulders.
When the car stopped, Gu Zixuan looked at the grand hall in front of her, feeling a bit stunned.
This was not Fengyi Building. She had slept too late and gotten up too early. After finishing her conversation with Feng Chengjin, she had dozed off a bit in the car.
Now, she saw a massive glass-domed building on the vast lawn, with many well-dressed people of exceptional demeanor mingling and chatting.
Sitting up straight, she remembered she wanted to ask Feng Chengjin why he brought her here. As she leaned forward, the black suit slipped off her shoulders.
Gu Zixuan looked down and realized the car’s air conditioning had been turned up by 2 degrees without her noticing.
Feng Chengjin seemed oblivious, as he parked the car under the shade of a tree, turning his face towards the window, lowering his voice to make a phone call.
"Yeah, drive her car to Miss Yu’s community. I’ll take her back later."
Gu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, staring at him.
As Feng Chengjin finished his call and turned around, his gaze met hers, eyes bright and intelligent like autumn’s gleaming pupils.
Their eyes locked for a moment.
He seemed to understand something, smiled, and looked away, "I’m not selling you."
Gu Zixuan withdrew her scrutinizing gaze, a light scoff, "Who knows!"
Feng Chengjin: "...We’re already married, won’t fetch a price."
After saying that, Feng Chengjin got out of the car. Gu Zixuan was stunned for a while, and if not for the lack of car keys, she almost considered driving his car to crash into the glass hall.
Following him inside, her view broadened.
Gu Zixuan then realized this was a venue in Rong City for business meetings, occasionally used by government departments to host foreign guests.
Today’s theme was the "Seminar on the Prospects and Development of the Internet."
Understanding Feng Chengjin’s intention for bringing her, she temporarily forgot about returning the money and kept pace with him.
Inside the hall, silver metallic grey designs complemented by glass reflections created an elegant atmosphere for everyone present.
But the most attention-grabbing, awe-inspiring, and imposing presence was the tall and impossibly handsome figure beside her.
As soon as they entered, the manager of the event hurriedly led the team to greet them.
After the greetings and heading inside, even more people acknowledged them.
Almost every business owner would come over.
Feng Chengjin conversed elegantly, his demeanor exuding grace with every move, treating her courteously as well.
Occasionally, when someone inquired about her, he would politely introduce her, "This is Miss Melinda, back from Columbia, involved in a business collaboration, and I brought her to listen in on the meeting."
The name Melinda already had some reputation in the circle. For the past eight years married to He Qimo, she had rarely made public appearances, so only a few knew her, even considering Gu Zixuan’s connections in the real estate sector mostly.
In response to others extending their hands, Gu Zixuan politely touched their fingertips, "Hello, I’m Melinda."
The person usually marveled at her beauty for a moment, then joked with Feng Chengjin, "It’s rare to see such a beautiful and intelligent lady in the financial circle. We’ve only just learned her name, and you’ve already snapped her up. You’re really leaving us no chance."
