Chapter 373: Chapter 373

Feng Chengjin found it amusing and didn’t speak. Gu Zixuan smiled, bent down, passed by Feng Chengjin, withdrew her hand, and with her fingertips pressed against the glass, cast her gaze towards the outdoor scenery.

The Ferris wheel had just reached its highest point, offering an unparalleled view.

Gu Zixuan’s heart trembled, "Why did you want to come here after getting the marriage certificate today?"

Feng Chengjin’s body stiffened, and the flat velvet box tucked in the right pocket of his pants seemed unusually conspicuous.

He thought about how he always owed Gu Zixuan a formal proposal, and added, glancing at her slightly rounded belly.

Feng Chengjin smiled, twitching his fingertips at his pocket, but ultimately didn’t take it out.

He simply said, "Just intuition that you’d like it."

Gu Zixuan paused, glancing sideways at the stable man who was sitting with his arms crossed.

She smiled happily, "I like it."

It was already five in the afternoon.

In the evening, they needed to attend a charity banquet.

At this moment, Yu Youxuan, who could no longer find an excuse to cling to Feng Chengjin, clung to his neck, eyes shining with unshed tears, reluctant, and said, "Godfather, you must come to play with me again in a few days."

Children’s memories are always fleeting.

They can quickly grow fond of someone, and when it’s time to part, they find it hard to say goodbye and cry loudly.

Yu Youxuan was often with her grandparents, without a mother. Even though Yu Yuanshen cared for her like both a mother and a father every day, his personality was too dull, and Yu Youxuan couldn’t act out even if she wanted to.

Therefore, she liked Gu Zixuan, who adored her, would tell her stories, and played with her.

Facing Feng Chengjin, who was childish enough to bicker with her, made her feel no age gap and offered many innovative ways to play, he definitely didn’t feel like an adult, and she liked him the most.

Yu Youxuan cried until her nose was all red.

Feng Chengjin watched, and somewhere in his heart felt a soft touch.

He crouched down, kissed Yu Youxuan on the forehead.

Smiling softly, he said, "Okay, Godfather will come find you to play."

"Then, pinky promise." Yu Youxuan stretched out her little finger.

Feng Chengjin chuckled, raising his hand.

The two hooked their thumbs, and the scene was heartwarming and moving.

Gu Zixuan watched, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.

Afterwards, Yu Youxuan held Feng Chengjin’s neck for a long time before going to Gu Zixuan, hugging her legs and crying one last time, looking back every few steps, tearfully reluctant as she climbed into the car.

Facing the driver who came to take her.

Before leaving, Qin Nuo said, "Rest assured, President. I will safely take young miss Yu to the Yu Family’s old residence."

Feng Chengjin, with arms crossed, watched as the driver fastened Yu Youxuan’s seatbelt and nodded.

"Just pick some of the toys we bought for her and send them over, that’ll be enough."

"This..." Qin Nuo was startled, knowing about the president’s action of sweeping through an entire toy store today. Just puzzled, why not keep them, what’s for?

Qin Nuo looked on puzzled.

Feng Chengjin sensed it, glanced over lightly, and said, "President Yu isn’t short on money. Giving too much will make him uncomfortable."

"Oh~~" Qin Nuo suddenly understood and nodded.

Examining the high emotional intelligence of the president, he felt genuine admiration, of course, and watching the president, who always considered others’ emotions, Qin Nuo had a warmth he couldn’t quite express.

"Alright, go ahead. When you return, send the rest to Qingshan Orphanage. The children there will also celebrate Christmas. Any extra, don’t waste it, send it to other welfare homes, or mail it to the western mountainous areas. As for the teachers and principals, I might not have time to visit recently. Buy some gifts to convey my regards, and say that I will definitely visit before the year ends."

"Yes, President, I will handle everything properly, rest assured."

Halfway through speaking, noticing Feng Chengjin seemed hesitant and wanting to say more, Qin Nuo wisely waited.

Indeed, after a pause, Feng Chengjin said, "Inside, I saw a set of small animal-shaped roly-polies today. Keep it, bring it back."

After speaking, Feng Chengjin turned and went to chase after Gu Zixuan, who was being sadly watched by Yu Youxuan. Thıs content belongs to N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

Qin Nuo stood there, dazed for a moment, and then reacted with a broad smile.

On the way back, because it was winter, it got dark earlier and earlier.

Sitting inside the warm car, looking at the faint snowfall illuminated by the car’s headlights, and the streetside lights turning on along the suburban road.

Gu Zixuan looked at Feng Chengjin, paused for a moment, and couldn’t help but smile at the corners of her lips.

"You seem to really like doing charity work."

Earlier, she vaguely heard the name Qingshan Orphanage mentioned in Feng Chengjin’s conversation with Qin Nuo, and now, Feng Chengjin was taking her to a charity banquet.

"It’s alright. There are too many people in the world living tough lives. People like us can’t help much besides with money, plus, many people have ill-gotten wealth, having seized a large portion of society’s riches, which causes spiritual impurity and unrest. Occasionally participating in charity events is a way to cleanse oneself, finding an excuse to feel like a good person."

"Such a poor opinion of you rich folks?" Gu Zixuan laughed.

Feng Chengjin smirked, "No merchant is pure; no businessman is a good person."

To Feng Chengjin’s assessment, Gu Zixuan chuckled.

After a pause, she shook her head, "But I don’t think you are."

"You’re a good person, and you’re sincere in what you do."

Feng Chengjin paused, his dark eyes gazing deeply at Gu Zixuan for a while, then turned his head, looking at the night and streetlights against the dark sky.

He chuckled, "So not getting the certificate today, having to wait a few more days to marry such a rich yet pure-hearted man like me, isn’t it a great loss?"

With Feng Chengjin being so shameless, Gu Zixuan immediately recalled a few months ago when they met again, how he frequently teased her.

She shook her head, "No, I think waiting a couple more days and letting you feel how hard it was to pursue the number one socialite in Rong City back then is also within my capabilities."

In an instant, Feng Chengjin was taken aback.

Watching her, resembling what she was eight years ago, influenced and evolved in character.

In an instant, Feng Chengjin was speechless, laughing uncontrollably...

Finally, seeing that it was almost time to go, the two stopped jesting.

Feng Chengjin stepped on the gas, quickly driving towards the villa. The two changed their clothes and went out.

But across the mottled night.

It’s not that Feng Chengjin thought too much.

It’s just that the topic of getting the certificate came up again accidentally.

Regarding everything that happened between him and Gu Zixuan. Feng Chengjin felt that actually, no one was to blame, and nothing to dwell on too much, just small things in life causing delays. In a lifetime, people get delayed by all sorts of things too often.

He wanted to marry her, she wanted to marry him, as long as the essence remained the same, other things weren’t worth overly concerning.

But perhaps it was something Qin Nuo said today that inadvertently touched him.

Eight years ago, they missed each other.

Eight years later, something they both wanted to do was off-track again due to other matters.

Thinking about things Gu Zixuan was completely unaware of.

Feng Chengjin’s heart felt heavy, somewhere, sensing an ominous and uneasy feeling, as if fate was once again eroding him...

He glanced at her belly, lowering his eyelashes.

Even if she carried his child, it would be the same...
