Chapter 371: Chapter 371

Located in the Smoby children’s toy store at Baisheng Square, Jinde Avenue.

Feng Chengjin was pushing a children’s shopping cart, with Yu Youxuan sitting inside, letting her pick toys.

"Godfather, I want this one!"

"Okay." Feng Chengjin smiled and curled his lips, pulling it off the shelf and placing it in front of Youxuan. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel✶fire.net

He continued holding the phone with one hand, eased his expression, and spoke coldly, "It might take a while longer."

"How long will it... take?" On the other end of the line, Qin Nuo hesitated awkwardly, "President Feng, Vice Director Li from the civil affairs bureau is waiting in the office..."

Feng Chengjin was speechless to the extreme, looking at the excited little girl inside, then at Gu Zixuan, who was holding a coat and following beside them, always with a playful expression yet high-cold and silent. He released the handle and rubbed his brow, "Maybe an hour?"

Such uncertain dialogue was something Qin Nuo, having followed Feng Chengjin for so many years, had never seen.

With a shaking voice, Qin Nuo, "Feng... President, you won’t miss such a big thing, will you?"

Instantly, Feng Chengjin responded coldly, "What kind of joke is this."

The stern voice made Qin Nuo immediately fall silent on the other end.

Here, Yu Youxuan was also startled, lifting her adorable face that makes one want to pinch it, she widened her eyes, "Godfather, what’s wrong?"

Her sweet voice was full of concern.

Feng Chengjin felt like he wanted to die.

He took a deep breath, squinted, and patted Yu Youxuan’s head, speaking softly with a smile, "Oh, it’s nothing, godfather is just on the phone, Youxuan, continue to look, take whatever you like, okay?"

"Okay, godfather, you’re so nice." Yu Youxuan squinted her eyes.

"Mm, good girl, Youxuan." Feng Chengjin smiled, taking a deep breath.

In such a state, Gu Zixuan couldn’t hold back, "Pfft," and laughed, turning her head, chuckling softly.

Feng Chengjin’s face turned as black as iron.

On the other end of the phone, Qin Nuo, who heard the conversation, asked in even more confusion, "God...father? President Feng, when did you have a goddaughter? And how much do you like her? You’re not even showing up for your wedding with Miss Gu because of her? If the wedding doesn’t happen smoothly, it means it’s not meant to be, it’s unlucky."

In an instant, Feng Chengjin felt utterly disheartened, feeling like living was pointless.

Twisting his lips, he casually said, "Qin Nuo, do you not want your salary this month?"

"Oh, I want it." Qin Nuo said instantly, embarrassed and falling silent.

"Then wait, don’t ask why! And shut your crow mouth!" Feng Chengjin said.

An hour later, Feng Chengjin was leaning against the sofa with a huge pile of toys next to him.

Watching Yu Youxuan on the other side, who was happily picking toys with the enthusiastic recommendation of a sales assistant.

Feng Chengjin frequently checked his watch, his thoughts were, "..."

Youxuan was already overjoyed, saying, "Godfather, you’re too good, my dad never allows me to choose so many toys."

Feng Chengjin smiled slightly, "It’s okay, I’m not your dad, you can take as many as you want."

"Really?" Yu Youxuan was excited.

"Yay!" Yu Youxuan cheered happily.

"But..." Feng Chengjin added while the iron was still hot, "Are there still many more you want to buy?"

Hearing this from Youxuan, Feng Chengjin breathed a big sigh of relief, feeling like the clouds were finally clearing.

He glanced at his watch, preparing to get up and settle the bill.

However, Yu Youxuan pointed to a section of wooden dolls nearby, saying, "I just want to look at those and I’ll be done."

Instantly, Feng Chengjin felt the sky turning dark...

Looking at sheet after sheet of receipts.

Feng Chengjin was already past not knowing what it means to be disheartened.

When a purchase sheet was delivered, he signed it, and paid.

There were so many toys that they couldn’t carry them all, even a logistic sheet was delivered.

Feng Chengjin signed it, to send them off.

Yet, Yu Youxuan kept picking...

Feng Chengjin stopped checking the time, just crossed his legs and propped his forehead on his hand, looking at the missed calls on his phone, "..."

Finally, when the opportunity arose, Yu Youxuan ran over to him excitedly with a plush doll in her hands, "Godfather, I want this one too."

Feng Chengjin took a deep breath, giving a light smile, "You can, but Youxuan, may I have a request?"

"What?" Yu Youxuan nervously clutched the plush toy to her chest, feeling the familiar tension when her father used to ask her to put things down.

"Youxuan, let’s not pick them one by one, shall I buy this toy store for you?"

Instantly, it was not just the sales assistant who was stunned but also Youxuan’s wide-eyed intake of breath, "(⊙o⊙) Wow!"

Yet another hour later.

Feng Chengjin thought, since they had already bought what they needed from the toy store and had walked around, they should be able to leave, right?

Unfortunately, just as they burst out of the toy store, a shout rang out, "Godfather, you’re so handsome! The most handsome man in the world!"

Feng Chengjin curled his lips but hadn’t started to laugh.

Yu Youxuan added, "Godfather, I also want that ice cream shop! Can we?"

Instantly, Feng Chengjin felt a vein throb on his forehead... his blood pressure seemed a bit unhealthily high.

And so, another hour dragged on.

By the time the civil affairs bureau’s noon break came, Qin Nuo hurried over speechlessly.

He found Feng Chengjin leaning against the car, eating a box of ice cream.

The handsome Feng Chengjin was already attracting the gazes of passersby, and in the dead of winter, holding a box of ice cream, it was even more so...

Nearby, groups of little girls couldn’t help but gather, secretly taking photos of Feng Chengjin leaning against the Bentley Mulsanne.

Qin Nuo was sweating profusely.

Feng Chengjin, however, stared resentfully and jealously at the big and small woman lining up in the cake shop, ignoring everything else.

The expression and state were indeed amusing, but Qin Nuo didn’t dare laugh.

He could only ask first, "President, why are you eating this in the middle of winter?"

Feng Chengjin: "Inspecting the quality of our own products, by the way, cooling off..."

"Huh?" Qin Nuo didn’t understand and made a strange noise from his throat.

The two men were talking by the side of the road.

From behind the glass window, Gu Zixuan listened to the little girls next to her chatting.

"Hey, the man outside is so handsome."

"Yeah, isn’t that President Feng Yi, Feng Chengjin?"

"Really? He’s the number one eligible bachelor in Rong City!"

"It seems to be true, I saw him in a magazine, but I didn’t expect him to be so handsome in person, so stylish, and he’s eating ice cream! Ah, so cute and adorable!"

"Shh, don’t talk, take pictures quickly!"

The little girls excitedly and secretly started taking pictures with their phones.

Gu Zixuan looked at the little Youxuan in her arms, remembered what didn’t happen in the morning, and then quietly looked at Feng Chengjin.

Gu Zixuan’s gaze was distant.

Yu Youxuan seemed to sense something, especially as the people around were all talking about Feng Chengjin.

She raised her eyes to look at Feng Chengjin, then looked up at Gu Zixuan and whispered, "Sister Gu, are you and Godfather supposed to do something, but Youxuan delayed you?"

Gu Zixuan froze, immediately withdrawing her gaze for the always sensitive Youxuan, smiled slightly, "No, Godfather and Sister Gu have nothing to do, today we just came out to play with Youxuan."

"Really?" Yu Youxuan looked at Gu Zixuan, unsure.

"Really." Gu Zixuan chuckled softly.

Pausing slightly, Yu Youxuan’s eyes darted around before she began to shout loudly, "Mom, Dad has been waiting by the car for so long, can we ask the people selling the cake to hurry up a bit?"

In an instant, half the people in the cake shop turned their eyes, looking at Gu Zixuan in shock.

Gu Zixuan’s face turned red and hot in an instant, never expecting Youxuan to suddenly say something .

The little girls next to them were also dumbfounded.

"By the car? Dad? Could Dad be referring to Feng Chengjin?"

"Huh? Really?" One girl was even sipping bubble tea and was so shocked that her straw went crooked. Looking at Gu Zixuan’s appearance and attire, then at Yu Youxuan, who was dressed in designer clothes, she lamented, "Seems to be true, the baby is so cute, ordinary people wouldn’t have a child ."

Instantly, another girl, feeling even sadder, with a face about to cry, clutching her heart, said, "Ah, my dream of the president, amongst all men, I only like him. I don’t idolize any stars, and now he’s married in secret and even has a child?"

For a moment, everyone shifted their gaze from Feng Chengjin outside to Gu Zixuan.

Gu Zixuan’s face turned from pale to red, red to purple, being looked at like that made her ears burn red quickly.

Just as the cake was handed out, the shop staff were also stunned in bewilderment, "That’s a total of six hundred thirty-two..."

Gu Zixuan quickly pulled out several red RMB bills from her wallet and placed them on the counter.

She said, "Keep the change."

Then holding Youxuan in one hand and carrying the cake in the other, she swiftly walked out.

Outside the store, by the car door.

Feng Chengjin continued talking with Qin Nuo.

Qin Nuo: "President, the civil affairs bureau opens at two in the afternoon, do you want to schedule another appointment?"

In that instant, Feng Chengjin shot him a glance.

Qin Nuo felt as if he were being chilled to the bone, immediately shutting his mouth wisely, "No more appointments, no more appointments. If we can’t make it again, it’ll make you want to kill someone. So, President, where should we go next? Don’t worry, President Yu’s child is in my hands, I won’t let her mess with you and Miss Gu."

Qin Nuo’s expression was earnest, as if swearing an oath.

Feng Chengjin’s face twitched, the corner of his lips trembling even more.
