Chapter 412: Chapter 412

Sitting down, Liang Yichao finally received the long-awaited concern from Yu Wei.

Placing a pillow behind Liang Yichao’s back, Liang Yichao looked at Yu Wei, his gaze instantly so soft it could drip.

This scene made Gu Zixuan smile.

Yu Wei, however, didn’t pay attention to Liang Yichao but glanced at Gu Zixuan, "Have you met each other’s parents?"

"Not yet..." Gu Zixuan shook her head, paused for a moment, then sighed, "Well, sort of, I met his father, he came to find me."

Yu Wei keenly sensed something, "His father disagrees?"

Thinking of the doubts she had buried for many days, Gu Zixuan nodded, "He’s not too willing, but I wonder if it’s my illusion; I always feel his father has a deeper hatred for me..."

"Hatred?" Yu Wei frowned, unable to understand the situation.

Even Liang Yichao had a similarly puzzled look, scanning Gu Zixuan up and down before shaking his head and saying, "That can’t be right, I heard from the old man at my house that although the Feng Family is quite prestigious, they’re not really that snobbish, at most they would just disagree if they didn’t like, how could it escalate to hatred?"

"Maybe it’s because I wasted eight years of his time, making him suffer the pain of waiting. All parents naturally care for their children." Gu Zixuan contemplated this, her smile carrying a hint of desolation.

She paused, seeming to realize that the bodyguard sent by Feng Chengjin was still standing by the door, she smiled lightly again, then continued in a lowered voice to keep the bodyguard from hearing, "But it’s alright, things always move in a good direction; these are just misunderstandings, and they can be resolved."

Despite her words, Yu Wei felt something was still off and continued to frown. After all, how could the former situation just be one side waiting? The pain of waiting for Zixuan was no less than anyone’s. And now, having reached this point, since Feng Chengjin found Gu Zixuan after eight years, with their relationship being so good, how could he not prepare his parents beforehand? At the very least, explain things clearly? Why wait for Mr. Feng to actively seek out Gu Zixuan?

This doesn’t seem like something the highly emotional Feng Chengjin would do.

Could there be something deeper at play here?

While Yu Wei was still deep in thought, Mr. Liang took the lead in asking another question, "So you haven’t brought him to meet your parents?"

Gu Zixuan was taken aback, then shook her head with a smile, "I want to, but haven’t had the opportunity."

"My parents don’t know that I’ve divorced, with my father’s condition and the house in chaos, how could I burden them further? For some time I kept it secret, it wasn’t convenient to bring him to meet them. After that incident a few days ago, I couldn’t hide it anymore. I’ve already explained to my mother in advance. As for my father, he will be back from Beijing in two days, and then I’ll bring him to meet."

Gu Zixuan’s father, since that incident, has either been under investigation or waiting for investigation these past few months, or else trying every ability and using connections. Overall, since being suspended, he has mostly stayed in Beijing these months.

Both Yu Wei and Liang Yichao knew about this situation, politically speaking, they could only gather information; if they wanted to help, they wouldn’t get involved...

Hearing this, they both breathed easier, adopting an attitude of well-wishing, "That’s good, let him meet your father first, at least Uncle Gu can agree, having the older generation communicate might smooth things out."

Gu Zixuan smiled faintly, that’s what she thought.

Born into a political family, she deeply understood how important mutually respected conversations were. Although her father is currently suspended, without punishment, it’s only an internal party reprimand. Perhaps after resting for a few months, he can find a way to take another position. With her father stepping in, no matter what, Feng Chengjin’s father would have to show some respect.

Gu Zixuan smiled softly, hoping deep down that this identity shackle wouldn’t constrain her too much.

After all, since last night’s incident, her finally stabilized reputation, regardless of who stirs up future troubles, at least within the circle, the cause and effect of this farce has been permanently covered over...

Also, seeing Shen Jian妮 appear, she finally eased the worry she’d been holding that rushing marriage would cause too much pain for He Qimo and them.

Last night was likely the best sleep she’s had in days?

Now that the burden was lifted and she felt relieved deep down, she truly wanted to marry, no longer suppressing herself over all sorts of things around her, considering others’ feelings comprehensively.

She can just be herself.

At this moment, she wanted to marry Feng Chengjin, really wanted to.

When leaving the hospital, Gu Zixuan got into the car.

The driver and bodyguard accompanied her, along with a maid to carry her bag. Regarding Feng Chengjin’s arrangement, Gu Zixuan helplessly smiled, why is it like being treated like a giant panda?

But she understood the complex situation yesterday, knowing bigger forces were targeting her; Feng Chengjin didn’t want her to worry, so she let it be.

Compared to power and ability, she couldn’t understand better than Feng Chengjin and his group.

Leaving professional matters to professionals is a more scientific approach in any industry, it’s good not to cause unnecessary trouble or disputes.

However, as the car turned onto the bustling street, they finally stopped in front of a Walmart Supermarket. Gu Zixuan prepared to buy some yogurt and other things to drink when she got a call.

Answering, Gu Zixuan was a bit surprised, "Miss Chen? How did you get my number?"

The caller was Chen Yiyue. Just one night apart, Gu Zixuan clearly remembered her gentle and elegant tone.

Chen Yiyue’s smile remained warm and gentle, though tinged with a bit of hesitation, "It’s a bit presumptuous, I asked your mother, Miss Gu, are you free now? I’d like to meet you."

"Meet me?" Gu Zixuan was even more surprised, casting a side glance at the maid pushing the cart beside her, then at the driver and bodyguard outside the window.

After hesitating for a while, she said, "Is it urgent? I’m currently accompanied by quite a few people..."

Chen Yiyue smiled, "It is a bit urgent, is it convenient? I won’t take too much of your time."

Seeing Chen Yiyue insist, Gu Zixuan pursed her red lips and said, "Alright, I’m at the Walmart Supermarket on Baishi Road."

"Okay, there’s a Starbucks not far from there, you wait for me there, I’m not too far away either, I’ll drive over shortly."

Glancing at the Australian imported yogurt in her hand, Gu Zixuan carefully read the instructions on it, discovering that the protein content was only 4.8%, which seemed a bit low, and it also contained maltose, likely not to Feng Chengjin’s taste.

Gu Zixuan shook her head and put it back where she found it.

Arriving at Starbucks.

Because Gu Zixuan thought it was quite close, she still finished choosing the yogurt before coming over.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yiyue was truly close by. When she arrived, Chen Yiyue was already there.

The Starbucks on Baishi Road doesn’t have many customers, making it rather quiet.

Chen Yiyue was wearing a Chanel dress today, with a black woolen coat over it, looking very elegant.

Sitting down at a table, Chen Yiyue smiled as she handed over the drink menu, "What would you like to drink?"

"Drink..." Before Gu Zixuan could take it, the maid beside her anxiously held her hand, apologetically smiling at Chen Yiyue, "Miss Chen, I’m sorry."

Then she said to Gu Zixuan, "Miss Gu, in your current situation, how can you drink coffee?"

Wasn’t it just low blood pressure a few days ago, and my period is due soon?

Gu Zixuan felt a mix of emotions, regarding Feng Chengjin’s level of care for her...

However, noticing Chen Yiyue’s slightly observing glance, Gu Zixuan didn’t want to display Feng Chengjin’s special concern for her too openly in front of others, especially since Chen Yiyue might have connections with Brother Feng...

She could only helplessly smile at the frowning maid and said, "Alright, then a glass of water should be fine? I have something to discuss with Miss Chen, could you wait outside for a bit?"

The maid was still a bit nervous, but seeing that Gu Zixuan indeed didn’t order coffee, and instead told the waiter, "A glass of water,"

She nodded, "If you need anything, just call us." She left reassured.

After the maid left, at the small yet exquisite coffee table, Gu Zixuan sat down, curiously glancing at the tightly held U-disk in Chen Yiyue’s hand with a smile.

Is this what Chen Yiyue wanted to discuss with her?

Gu Zixuan pondered, considering various possibilities for Chen Yiyue’s sudden request to meet before the conversation started.

Yet, even after the waiter served the water, Chen Yiyue remained silent.

Looking up, Gu Zixuan noticed Chen Yiyue was following the maid’s figure, watching the driver, the bodyguard, and the approaching car.

"Miss Chen?" Gu Zixuan tentatively called.

Chen Yiyue didn’t respond.

"Miss Chen?" Gu Zixuan called again.

Only then did Chen Yiyue turn back her gaze.

In that moment of eye contact, Gu Zixuan noticed a slight tremble in Chen Yiyue’s eyes, looking at her, then at the water cup, and lastly at her abdomen.

Gu Zixuan was perplexed, something felt rather odd.

Chen Yiyue couldn’t help but ask a question, "Zixuan, are you pregnant?"
