CHAPTER 52: CHAPTER 53: GU ZIXUAN FROWNS, ALMOST KILLED BY THE SOURNESS

Gu Zixuan raised her eyes and immediately saw the figure that could nearly draw the gaze of the entire restaurant.

Handmade Italian black suit, Piaget gold watch.

Feng Chengjin had just come out of the restroom, and when he sat down, he happened to meet Gu Zixuan’s gaze.

Gu Zixuan sized him up, and when her gaze fell on the striking figure of the woman opposite Feng Chengjin, she was taken aback.

She then looked down, chuckled knowingly, and began ordering from the server.

Feng Chengjin, however, immediately understood what she was thinking.

Opposite him, Feng Chengyue noticed his slight expression change, puzzled.

Before she could ask, "Third Brother, what’s up with you?" she saw the corners of his mouth lift slightly as he told the server, "Prepare a bouquet of flowers."

High-end restaurants often witness proposals and declarations of love, and the waiter understood well.

He replied, "Yes, Mr. Feng," and respectfully left.

At the neighboring table, Gu Zixuan furrowed her brows, barely able to contain her jealousy.

She quickly finished ordering without looking at Feng Chengjin.

Feng Chengjin’s smile only deepened, and he started a casual conversation with Feng Chengyue.

"What have you been up to since you returned home?"

"Meeting friends, having tea, getting beauty treatments, doing my hair, shopping for good food."

"Have you tried all the good food in Rong City?"

"Not yet, I’m waiting for you, Mr. Feng, to give me a treat."

"I’m not that fortunate." Feng Chengjin laughed softly.

"How could you not be?" Feng Chengyue raised her eyebrows, "I’ve heard that young ladies wanting to dine with you are lined up for three years. You’re able to bring me here despite your busy schedule; I’m the lucky one."

"Ha~" Gu Zixuan twitched her lips, lifted the lemon water that the waiter had just poured, and took a sip.

Sour!

At the side table, Feng Chengjin was at ease, his smile growing deeper. When the server brought the menu, he softly asked Feng Chengyue, "These dishes are pretty good, want to try them?"

"Sure, I’ll follow your lead."

The soft-spoken exchange made Gu Zixuan’s stomach churn with jealousy.

When Yu Wei and Youxuan returned, she resolutely and inconspicuously moved to an inner seat.

This change wasn’t noticed by Yu Wei, but when the dishes were served and during the meal, Gu Zixuan’s unusual behavior caught Yu Wei’s attention.

Gu Zixuan wasn’t sure if she was overthinking. Although sitting further in and slightly avoiding Feng Chengjin’s gaze, she still felt he was intentionally or unintentionally looking at her.

Remembering Feng Chengjin’s teasing words from that night, she frowned while cutting her steak.

Thinking about not receiving a text and feeling anxious all day, while Feng Chengjin was comfortably on a date, she furiously cut the steak into smaller pieces.

Ultimately, as she contemplated the current ambiguous feeling, she glared in his direction.

Yu Wei finally noticed something was wrong, "Zixuan, what’s up with you?"

Following Gu Zixuan’s gaze to the people sitting at the neighboring table, she was slightly surprised, "Mr. Feng?"

From the adjacent table, Feng Chengjin paused his utensils, as if ’just seeing them,’ and raised an eyebrow, "Miss Yu?"

...

When sitting together at the same table, Gu Zixuan wanted to say she wouldn’t eat and just wanted to go home.

But since Yu Wei’s boyfriend Pei Yongyou was quite familiar with Feng Chengjin, out of basic social etiquette, she quietly stayed.

Feng Chengjin engaged in a casual conversation with Yu Wei.

Until the door opened, and the server came in holding a large bouquet of roses...
