Chapter 29: Chapter 29: You’re Overthinking

The instant shift to a businesslike tone made the faint smile on Gu Zixuan’s face freeze.

Speechless, she lightly pressed her red lips and said, "Fine."

The dull tone made Feng Chengjin sense something unusual, and he looked up to give her a deep glance.

Soon, realizing something, Feng Chengjin chuckled lowly and said in a near-coaxing tone before Gu Zixuan got out of the car, "Alright, if this proposal shows me profit value, apart from returning the file to you, I’ll pay you a salary."

In an instant, anger surged to Gu Zixuan’s head.

She retorted, "How generous!"

Frustrated, she got out of the car and walked towards home.

But after a few steps, she felt something was off.

Turning back, she saw Feng Chengjin sitting in her car with a smirk on his lips, which left her feeling utterly disheveled with anger.

That was her car!

With a rev of the gas pedal, the roaring sound disappeared into the quiet street.

Watching her drive away, Feng Chengjin got into the Bentley Mulsanne that his driver had followed all the way.

Seeing everything that had happened before, the driver couldn’t help but chuckle lightly when Feng Chengjin got into the car, "Sir, how come you always manage to make Miss Gu so upset?"

"Do I?" Feng Chengjin pulled out his phone and began reading current affairs news.

The driver nodded, "Certainly, sir has always been polite to ladies. Bullying like this is a first."

Feng Chengjin didn’t respond.

After a long while, the driver glanced at him through the rearview mirror, and worriedly whispered, "But, Miss Gu is a married woman after all, won’t your wife mind?"

Feng Chengjin paused, lifting his gaze from the phone with dark eyes, "You’re overthinking it."

Gu Zixuan drove to the gates of the He Family, honking twice, waiting for the servants to open the door.

After a long time, there was no response.

Unwilling to give up, Gu Zixuan honked twice again, but the gate remained tightly shut.

In the distance, under the shadowy silhouette of noble Qiao Shan trees, the light from the third floor of the faraway villa was still visible.

Gu Zixuan’s heart trembled, as she prepared to press the horn continuously. However, just as her hand was about to touch it, she noticed the flashing surveillance camera and intercom at the gate.

She knew that like Chengjin’s house, there were surveillance monitors at home.

It was like she understood something, her face turned pale, and her fingertips trembled like sifting.

Filled with anger, she was about to call home!

But then she glanced at the surveillance camera once more... and pursed her red lips.

After a long while, she put the phone back in her bag, started the car, and sped away.

Inside the villa, Zhou Huimei watched the monitor with a cold smile.

Especially as she watched Gu Zixuan’s car hesitate to move.

But the next moment, as she saw the car zoom off, all her expressions froze on her face.

Even He Xiaoqi was bewildered and frowned, "Mom, did she just turn around and leave?"

Zhou Huimei twitched the corner of her lips, not saying a word.

Especially feeling the gaze of the group of servants she had called to watch the show now fixed on her.

Her face instantly clouded like a storm.

At the back of the group of servants, a short, thin man looked around the scene, lowered his eyes, and quickly sent a message to a number on his phone.

’Sir, the madam locked the lady out and drove her away.’

Gu Zixuan floored the gas pedal all the way to the Jinyue Zijing Mansion in the city center.

Her anger made her drive fast, reaching her destination in merely 18 minutes.

After parking in a temporary spot in the underground garage, she entered the ladder access code.

When the elevator climbed all the way to the top floor, she slightly calmed her mood and knocked on the door.

"Swish," the door opened.

Gu Zixuan was about to call out for Yu Wei, but stopped, her eyelashes fluttered, and she changed her words, "Yu... Brother."

Yu Yuanshen, dressed in a clean house outfit—a white linen cotton T-shirt with smoke-grey pants—looked like he had just showered, with short hair still damp with moisture.

Seeing her, his amber eyes slightly flickered, "Zixuan?"

Two minutes later.

Sipping on warm ginger tea, Gu Zixuan took a small sip, smiled at Yu Yuanshen, "I didn’t expect Brother Yu to be here too."

Yu Yuanshen finished cutting clean fruit, placed it on a plate, and handed it to Gu Zixuan with a crystal fork, shaking his head, "No choice, Weiwei doesn’t like tidying up the house. I have to come every now and then; otherwise, it would be unpresentable."

Yu Wei didn’t live in the family estate and didn’t like strangers invading her territory, so she bought a duplex mansion in the city center. As her brother, Yu Yuanshen couldn’t stand it and occasionally came to help tidy up. But as a result, Yu Wei got addicted to ordering him around, and whenever the house got messy, calling Yu Yuanshen became part of the routine.

Looking at the place, now as clean as a whistle, with even the scent and flower arrangements exuding a unique warmth, Gu Zixuan felt slightly moved.

"Brother Yu really knows how to take care of people. Weiwei is quite blessed to have a brother like you."

Yu Yuanshen, hearing the compliment, paused with the teacup in his hand.

After a long while, he glanced at her, looked away, and smiled, "Weiwei is upstairs bathing Youxuan and will be down soon."

Hmm?

The change of topic left Gu Zixuan startled, her pupils brightened slightly, "Youxuan is here too?"

Yu Yuanshen nodded.

But before he finished nodding, there was a clear "Ah! Sister Gu!"

A little pair of feet pitter-pattered down the wooden stairs.

Gu Zixuan turned around, gazing at the little four-year-old girl who looked like a Barbie doll. She smiled with her eyes and opened her arms.

Behind her, Yu Wei, exhausted from bathing the little darling, came down holding her forehead. Hearing the little one’s shout, she angrily yelled, "Call her Auntie!"

Yu Youxuan rushed into Gu Zixuan’s arms, tightly hugging her. Meanwhile, she looked back at Yu Wei, stuck out her tongue, and said with disdain, "No way, old auntie!"
