After a slight pause, when the car came to a stop.
Gu Zixuan was about to get out of the car when he called her, "Miss Gu."
Gu Zixuan glanced back, and he leaned towards the back seat to grab a document, "This is the content from this morning’s meeting. I noticed you seemed interested."

Gu Zixuan felt a warmth in her heart, thinking about what she had glimpsed before getting into the car, her face flushed, "Alright."
She opened her handbag, intending to put the document inside, but no matter how she arranged it, it wouldn’t fit, so she took out her phone and wallet first.
Feng Chengjin’s eyes slightly narrowed, observing the phone, his fingertips unobtrusively took it...
After Gu Zixuan had packed everything, she lifted her eyes and gave him a smile, "Thanks, Mr. Feng, for the ride."
"You’re welcome." Feng Chengjin nodded, slightly pursing his lips as well.
Gu Zixuan closed the car door and walked away. Feng Chengjin looked at the phone vibrating persistently in his left hand and answered it.
Gu Zixuan returned home.
As soon as she entered, she gazed at the heavy atmosphere, then scanned the living room where He Xiaoqi sat silently on the sofa, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, "What’s wrong?"
"What’s wrong? What’s wrong indeed!" Zhou Huimei almost went berserk as she walked towards Gu Zixuan, her eyes bloodshot.
But before she could reach her, He Qimo grabbed her wrist and swiftly led her upstairs, "Follow me."
"Hey, I haven’t changed my shoes."
He Qimo walked too fast, and Gu Zixuan was dragged along rather awkwardly.
Finally, perhaps finding her pace too slow, He Qimo picked her up horizontally and climbed the stairs in a few steps.
He Qimo’s arm was too strong, causing Gu Zixuan to lean against his chest, her heart pounding erratically. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel★fire.net
The bedroom door closed.
Before Gu Zixuan could ask anything, He Qimo threw her handbag onto the bed and pressed her firmly against the wall.
"Why did you do it?" He gripped her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.
"What do you mean by doing it?" Gu Zixuan was utterly perplexed.
"You know what I mean!" He Qimo’s near-roaring voice drowned her in coldness.
Yet despite the icy coldness, she still saw a trace of ripples.
Her heart gradually turned cold, recalling Zhou Huimei’s reaction and thinking about He Xiaoqi’s seemingly hurt tranquility.
Looking at him, she slowly said, "What happened? Didn’t she make such a big mess, and shouldn’t she be taught a lesson?"
"Taught a lesson?" He Qimo sneered coldly, and at the moment he received her confirmation, the last glimmer of hope vanished from his eyes.
"Gu Zixuan, I truly thought you were just a spoiled young lady who looks down on others. I only casually listened when mom and Xiaoqi said you treated them poorly. I didn’t think you could actually be so heartless..."
Gu Zixuan’s heart ached, she lifted her eyes mistily and looked at him.
He Qimo pressed closer, his breath almost touching her nose, "You can dislike them, you can think they’re from humble backgrounds and don’t belong in high society. You may even think the family is restrictive, living in the Gu Family or hanging out with your socialite circles for years, I’ve said nothing."
"But... Gu Zixuan, you’re my wife! You’re the wife I, He Qimo, married legally from the registry, and she’s your sister by law. How can you do this?"
