Chapter 370: Chapter 370

Gu Zixuan was woken up early by Feng Chengjin.

Seeing that it was only 6:30, she felt both amused and helpless, "Doesn’t the civil affairs bureau start at 8:30? Do we really need to get up this early?"

Feng Chengjin smiled, half-hugging her as he explained, "A lot of people are getting married on Christmas, and many will be lining up early. Even if we don’t need to wait, the entrance and streets will be crowded, so it’s better to go early to avoid the hustle."

Feng Chengjin was so attentive to Gu Zixuan that he even placed her slippers right at her feet for her to put on.

For the past few days, with Feng Chengjin taking exceptional care of her, often with a deep yet smiling look in his eyes, Gu Zixuan tilted her head, sensing something was odd.

But before she could dwell on it, Feng Chengjin pulled her into the bathroom.

Makeup, eyebrow shaping, mascara, blush, highlighter... and finally a carefully applied lipstick.

The beautiful nude makeup made Gu Zixuan’s features even more exquisite.

Her every move was more captivating than the most beautiful actress.

Finally, choosing an outfit and changing into a suit, it must be said that Feng Chengjin was right to have them get up early.

After all, women do take a bit longer to get ready before leaving the house.

Feng Chengjin also went early to the parking area, driving the car to the villa entrance.

When everything was ready, Feng Chengjin went back upstairs to get Gu Zixuan.

Just have breakfast, and then they could head out.

Sitting in the dining room, Gu Zixuan was still thinking and couldn’t help but look upstairs.

Unconcerned, Feng Chengjin, while eating the French pastries the chef made, smiled and said, "No worries, later I’ll have the butler take her back."

"But that’s not good either, she doesn’t know the butler well, she might be scared."

"Her? Scared?" Feng Chengjin shook his head noncommittally, knowing that in the three days the little one spent at his house, she’d already found out what the lady from the servants’ quarters, whose name even he couldn’t remember, liked to eat.

He poured oatmeal milk for Gu Zixuan, smiling, "If the butler isn’t scared off by her and decides he never wants a granddaughter, then it’d be her being afraid."

Gu Zixuan frowned in disagreement, "Who said that, Youxuan is very cute and well-behaved."

Hearing this, Feng Chengjin paused, looking at Gu Zixuan who was full of bias towards Youxuan, he leaned forward slightly and smiled, "You like daughters?"

These past few days, why has Feng Chengjin been so casually asking her opinion on children?

In a daze, Gu Zixuan almost thought she might be pregnant, and that’s why he was towards her.

But considering the time, her period isn’t due yet. Isn’t pregnancy usually determined when the period is a week late, revealing two lines on a test? She’s not even due for her period yet.

Moreover, yesterday her lower abdomen had a slight pain, so probably not pregnant?

Gu Zixuan was pondering, pausing slightly, and facing Feng Chengjin, who was leaning towards her with a deep, smiling gaze, she couldn’t help but blush a little.

Looking down, she wasn’t going to fall for his ruse, so she took the milk jug and porcelain bowl to serve herself.

At the same time, she said, "I like both."

Across from her, Feng Chengjin chuckled quietly.

He added, "Then we’ll have both."

Which made Gu Zixuan’s face heat up instantly, glaring at him with annoyed eyes, "What are you talking about?"

His low chuckle deepened as he thought about today’s arrangements, but he didn’t tease her further.

He simply said, "Hurry and eat, unless you want the little one to wake up later and cling to us, and this matter gets known by Yu Yuanshen..."

Then he focused on eating breakfast.

Thinking of Brother Yu, Gu Zixuan’s heart fluttered slightly, knowing that Feng Chengjin was right.

If Youxuan knew about this and told Brother Yu too early, then she really would...

She lowered her head and ate gracefully and elegantly.

However, after a couple of bites, something still felt off to her.

She raised her eyes and frowned at him, "Wait, Feng Chengjin, why did you use the word cling?"

Feng Chengjin was startled, raising his eyes, his expression slightly flickering.

Gu Zixuan’s frown deepened, "Are you trying to get on good terms with Youxuan just to ditch her secretly without her following us?"

Gu Zixuan pressed her lips lightly.

Considering Feng Chengjin’s possessive nature, just a few days ago he was sparring with Youxuan like rivals, and then suddenly switched to being a godfather and daughter yesterday? It was strange from the start. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

Using the word "cling" instead of "follow" or "stick" subtly implies some unwillingness or distaste, doesn’t it?

Gu Zixuan’s gaze was puzzled. It wasn’t that she doubted Feng Chengjin’s kindness, but the extent of this man’s cunning and childishness is sometimes astounding!

Gu Zixuan scrutinized.

Feng Chengjin was momentarily stunned, unsure whether he should marvel at how Gu Zixuan understood him so well, precisely guessing his intentions, or burst into laughter at how to appease his soon-to-be wife.

Feng Chengjin hesitated, unable to respond.

Gu Zixuan glanced at him, frowning deeply, "Is that really what you’re thinking?"

Feng Chengjin was momentarily speechless, having no choice but to confess honestly, "It’s not all bad. Initially, I didn’t want her to stay here, but after really getting to know her, I found the little one quite adorable. Recognizing her as a goddaughter and sending her back safely was genuine."

Feng Chengjin was telling the truth.

After all, Yu Yuanshen was his rival in love. This little kid came and started competing with him for Gu Zixuan; he would need a big heart to respond with kindness?

"..." Gu Zixuan was frustrated, wanting to throw a tantrum but unable to.

Looking at the extremely childish Feng Chengjin, she took a big sip of oatmeal, put it down, and sipped again.

After a long time, Feng Chengjin furrowed his brows, starting to consider whether he should admit his mistake to avoid angering the child...

Gu Zixuan didn’t drink again, she put down the white porcelain bowl, wiped the corner of her lips with a napkin, and said nothing more.

She grumbled moodily, "Anyway, what goes around comes around. Deceiving such a small kid might bring retribution. You’ve recognized her as a goddaughter, don’t treat Youxuan as a fool. She doesn’t have a mother, making her more sensitive than other kids. If you treat her poorly in the future, without me saying anything, the little girl will handle you herself."

After speaking, she got up to go to the restroom to reapply makeup.

Feng Chengjin saw this and breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn’t throw a small tantrum, saying she wouldn’t go. As long as Zixuan could smoothly go and get the marriage certificate with him today, that was fine.

As for the little girl...

Feng Chengjin smirked.

Anyway, he had already settled it; the little girl wouldn’t do that.

Moreover, he indeed quite liked her now. As long as she didn’t cling today, he wouldn’t mind treating her like his own daughter in the future...

For a moment, Feng Chengjin thought it all out well.

The little girl, through observation these past few days, wasn’t hungry and typically slept until after 8 a.m.

By the time they left and got to the civil affairs bureau, the little girl wouldn’t have woken up. After getting the certificate and taking Gu Zixuan to the prepared place today, by the time they returned to change clothes, the little girl should be completely settled in Yu Mansion, right?

Feng Chengjin smiled, waiting for Gu Zixuan.

Only, when Gu Zixuan finished tidying up and headed towards the foyer, within a mere thirty-plus steps...

Feng Chengjin felt they were just a minute away from getting in the car.

Suddenly, a little head peeked from the gaps of the white spiral staircase, looking around at the villa with few servants.

The little head quickly locked onto Feng Chengjin standing tall at the entrance, graceful and charming.

The small mouth puckered, the little one ruffled her sleep-mussed hair, "Godfather, I need to pee..."

Feng Chengjin’s eyelids darkened: "..."

Feng Chengjin watched the little one, who finished using the bathroom and said she was thirsty, holding a bottle of milk and slowly waking from her grogginess, his lips quivering slightly.

Yu Youxuan didn’t understand why upon waking, her godfather and godmother were gone.

She swung her little feet as she bit by bit woke up, noticing her godfather and godmother were all dressed up. Oddly enough, Sister Gu, no, Mrs. Gu looked so pretty today, and godfather looked incredibly handsome as well.

She sucked on the milk, swallowing it down her chubby cherry lips before saying, "Where are you going?"

Gu Zixuan didn’t speak anymore, already irritated with Feng Chengjin’s earlier attitude, and now even more unwilling to explain.

Next to her, Feng Chengjin sensed Gu Zixuan’s intentions, feeling genuinely ridiculous and helpless.

With anyone else, he might have insisted on his own way, but for the woman, still so young... both were much younger than him and needed a lifetime of pampering, Feng Chengjin crossed his legs, lightly leaning an arm on the sofa’s armrest, unable to muster any more masculine authority.

In the end, he could only pause, smile lightly, and with a tone for coaxing children, said, "Youxuan, godfather and your mother have something to do, going out for a bit."

"Going out?" Yu Youxuan glanced at the gigantic Christmas tree in the living room, seeming to realize something.

Her eyes sparkled brightly, as she jumped on the sofa.

"Are you going out to celebrate Christmas? I want to go!"

Feng Chengjin felt even more ridiculous, "Uh... Youxuan, your grandparents miss you, there’s no need to spend Christmas with us, besides, we do have matters; you can’t come..."

"Can’t come? Why?" Yu Youxuan didn’t care about her grandparents, only tilted her head, looking at Feng Chengjin.

Until she paused for a while, then suddenly understanding, smiling more excitedly: "Oh, I know! Is it to go out and buy gifts for Youxuan, wanting to surprise Youxuan? Oh godfather, it’s okay, you take me then I can choose myself!"

Feng Chengjin froze into an ice block, twitching his lips, unable to say a word...
