Chapter 372: Chapter 372

After a brief pause, Feng Chengjin said, "Just keep quiet today and stop jinxing things with your crow’s mouth!"

The chill in his voice made Qin Nuo realize just how angry the CEO was this time. He immediately shut his mouth, silencing himself.

Especially since on the opposite side, Gu Zixuan had already come out with Yu Youxuan. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⚑fire.net

He watched as a group of young girls squeezed towards the door, seemingly ready to snap photos at any moment.

Qin Nuo immediately moved, stepping forward to pick up Yu Youxuan.

Feng Chengjin also noticed the gathering crowd, furrowing his brow slightly as he tossed the ice cream into a nearby trash can.

He placed his hand on Gu Zixuan’s waist and quickly got into the car.

As the car drove away, because Qin Nuo had caused a diversion, the people present almost thought that Gu Zixuan and Qin Nuo were a couple, and in the search for the truth, they forgot to take pictures.

By the time Feng Chengjin held Gu Zixuan’s waist, it was too late for them to take photos.

Having grown accustomed to avoiding paparazzi, Feng Chengjin had already used his body to shield Gu Zixuan entirely, and he himself rarely showed his full face.

The car quickly started, leaving the exceptionally bustling downtown area filled with Christmas cheer.

The whole morning was delayed .

In the afternoon, it was inevitable that in this lively holiday, things would become even more unavoidable.

Especially when there’s already one light bulb.

After Qin Nuo arrived, Yu Youxuan clung to him, unable to be coaxed away. Qin Nuo couldn’t possibly ask the CEO to bring along this unusually lively little troublemaker, so the single light bulb turned into two!

Feng Chengjin’s expression could no longer be described as the colors of sunset and a solitary bird flying together, or the autumn water merging with the vast sky.

Qin Nuo, who had been by Feng Chengjin’s side for so many years, had never witnessed this before.

Qin Nuo also felt the current miserable situation left him somewhat helpless, with a cold wind cutting across his forehead, feeling comparable to a low-pressure tornado.

But there was nothing to be done, this little girl only recognized familiar faces.

In particular, no one knew what charm the CEO had used on this little girl, as she adored him to the point where she seemed to cling to his leg while walking, sometimes even leaving Miss Gu aside.

Qin Nuo felt that as a secretary, trying to deceive a kid who’s harder to fool than adults while not damaging the CEO’s image was extremely hard!

Throughout the journey, Feng Chengjin’s face was exceedingly grim.

Qin Nuo made every effort to minimize the sense of his personal existence.

In the end, realizing that scheduling an appointment in the afternoon for registration wasn’t practical, and they had other plans anyway.

They simply headed straight to their destination.

Upon arrival, looking at everything in front of her, Yu Youxuan gasped in astonishment, "Wow! An amusement park!"

And she darted out like a released bird.

In front of them, the scene was colorful with balloons filling the sky. Coupled with the Christmas atmosphere, it looked like a fairyland.

Not to mention the waiting staff dressed as Santa Claus, all bowing together and saying, "Good afternoon!"

Yu Youxuan cheerfully responded, continuously saying, "Good, you’re all good too." Then she went to tug on the Santa Claus beards.

Beside her, only Gu Zixuan, after getting out of the car, was slightly taken aback by the completely visitor-free environment that had clearly been reserved for them.

She glanced at Feng Chengjin.

She completely hadn’t expected that the place Feng Chengjin mentioned bringing her to in the afternoon... would turn out to be an amusement park.

Feng Chengjin, feeling her gaze, wasn’t sure what expression he should wear at this moment.

He quietly looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something.

Yet, before their eyes could fully meet,

Yu Youxuan’s voice from the side, "Oops, I think I peed,"

instantly left Qin Nuo dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed, and Feng Chengjin completely petrified.

After a pause, with Yu Youxuan’s pouting remark, "Godfather, it seems this Uncle Qin doesn’t know how to change pants,"

Qin Nuo was embarrassed, deeply feeling that as a secretary today, he would explode, royally explode, even explode like a torpedo.

Feng Chengjin withdrew his gaze from Gu Zixuan’s face, helplessly smiling.

With a sigh more like an "aih," he turned and walked forward.

His profound demeanor made Gu Zixuan follow his steps, her gaze distant...

They rode the carousel, played on the roller coaster.

And finally arrived at the Ferris wheel.

Amidst the Christmas spirit, the Ferris wheel slowly ascended to the highest point, overlooking half of Rong City, a city adorned in a sea of red and green, bringing a unique atmosphere.

Especially with the light snow gently falling outside, there was an indescribable magical beauty.

Beside them, Yu Youxuan eagerly leaned against the glass window, looking at everything outside, chirping with excitement.

Gu Zixuan was also admiring the outdoor scenery.

After a pause, she noticed Feng Chengjin wasn’t very interested as he looked into the distance.

Taking advantage of the little one’s focus on the view outside the window, Qin Nuo smartly pretended not to hear.

Gu Zixuan’s eyelashes fluttered, and she asked, "Did you... plan to bring me here this afternoon?"

Feng Chengjin snapped back to reality, glanced at Gu Zixuan, then at the big and small pair on the other side, uninterestedly looking out the window.

"Ah..." A light sigh escaped Gu Zixuan’s lips.

After a pause, she got up and sat beside him.

When she sat, Feng Chengjin looked at the distance between them and felt like pulling Gu Zixuan into his arms.

However, noticing Youxuan’s age, he decided against it.

But when he looked down again, Gu Zixuan had already taken his hand.

More than that, she leaned her head gently against his shoulder.

Side by side, their silhouettes were beautifully matched, set against the colorful world, strangely moving.

Not to mention their two slender hands intertwined, the platinum rings reflecting a silvery, mysterious sheen in the light.

Fingering the rings, Gu Zixuan hesitated slightly.

She said, "Do you blame me?"

Feng Chengjin lowered his eyes, his gaze slowly rising from their hands to her face.

After a while, he smiled slightly, "Blame you for what?"

Their conversation was very soft.

"Not helping me with the little one’s clinginess today?"

"Yes." Gu Zixuan nodded.

After a pause, Feng Chengjin smiled lightly, and while the two on the other side weren’t looking, he kissed her on the temple, saying, "It’s not that bad. You just think you’re definitely going to marry me, so it doesn’t matter when we do it. Since today got interrupted by the little one, let’s just keep her company first."

Gu Zixuanxin was touched and trembled slightly.

"Is it hard to guess?" Feng Chengjin smiled, his smile gentle, "Since Youxuan was two, and Yu Yuanshen divorced his wife, you’ve been taking care of this little girl. Your bond is deep enough to be considered mother and daughter. You can’t bear to send her away for your marriage, and considering Yu Yuanshen might know, you can’t do it. Besides, if you didn’t want to get married, you wouldn’t have agreed to me. Since you agreed, you’ll definitely go with me. It’s just, you didn’t say a word all morning... Besides being concerned, the bigger reason..."

Feng Chengjin paused, "Is that you don’t care about timing."

While Gu Zixuanxin was amazed at how well Feng Chengjin understood her, she also sighed, nodding.

Indeed, if she weren’t marrying Feng Chengjin or if they were just meeting or dating for the first time, she would find it important, important enough to choose a specific day without any negligence.

However, given they’d been apart for a long eight years.

Eight years of waiting, countless nights crying and waking, longing and painful, left a long thorny scar in her heart. This scar made many once-important formalities seem less significant.

As long as her heart was set and as long as it was him, what difference did it make if it was a day earlier or later?

More than that, as long as he was by her side, facing the man she waited eight years for, this love they both held firm to, whether this marriage happened smoothly or not, what did it matter to her?

Leaning against his shoulder, she said, "But still, my concerns disrupted all your plans today."

Feng Chengjin smiled, raised his hand to pat their entwined hands, shook his head, and didn’t speak.

After a while, Gu Zixuan spoke, "In a few days, I’ll take Youxuan back and make sure Brother Yu is okay. I’ll personally get the number, wait, and when it’s time, I’ll call you to come over."

Feng Chengjin was taken aback, looking at her.

She smiled, bright and sunny, "Do you really think I don’t want to marry you?"

With her head buried in his chest, she changed to hugging his arm with both arms, smiling softly, "It’s just that you keep pulling strings, using your privileges, skipping all the necessary registration processes. Where’s the sanctity in that? Let’s register ourselves, like other couples. Make vows, accept the officiant’s blessings, and keep the registration number as a future memento."

This sounded like she was comforting him...

Feng Chengjin was momentarily amused and exasperated by Gu Zixuan, lowering his voice, "Hey, Gu Zixuan, do you think I enjoy these fabricated little romantic gestures?"

Gu Zixuan gave him an uncertain look.

Thinking of the pink princess heart she’d misinterpreted.

Feng Chengjin finally understood why Gu Zixuan was titled Rong City’s most elusive woman, the top socialite.

He also felt they picked a terrible date with Christmas.

Between them now, who was the man, and who was the woman?
