Chapter 968: Chapter 39: Starlight Shines Bright, Only True Love Must Not Be Betrayed

In the bedroom, a scene of tender affection.

At the doorway, two heads popped out—Feng Yuning and Yu Xi exchanged glances.

They couldn’t help but think of one thing, looking at the other siblings, then looking at themselves...

They had only just arrived and could only hear the last few sentences.

But that didn’t stop the suspicious glances from bursting out from their eyes, both thinking—are we doing this wrong or what?

Ultimately, the stronger-willed Feng Yuning overpowered Yu Xi with her gaze.

Yu Xi conceded with a sullen expression, lowering his eyelashes, feeling even more annoyed inside.

Pause for a moment, perhaps the argument at the door about whether to knock or not caught the attention of Qiu Zhixuan and Gu Zixi.

Qiu Zhixuan looked towards the door and said, "Who is it?"

Feng Yuning and Yu Xi couldn’t avoid it, pushed the door open with apologetic smiles, "Step-mother, it’s us..."

Noticing it was the two clever young ones from the Feng Family...

Although she didn’t quite understand how Brother Yu agreed to get involved with her current "big niece," Brother Yu’s feelings had always been her lifelong concern. Now that Brother Yu was willing to propose, perhaps he’d finally come to terms with some things.

Qiu Zhixuan took another look at Yu Xi and Feng Yuning, feeling relieved at heart, her eyes softened into a gentle smile.

She lightly patted Gu Zixi’s hand, who seemed a bit displeased about them not knocking, stood up, and said, "You’re here to see Zixi, right? Go ahead and chat, I should go check on Yu Ze."

The thought of the Feng Family’s new baby grandson’s good looks made Feng Yuning’s eyes sparkle, fantasizing about whether the child she would have with Yu Yuanshen would be as handsome and nosebleed-inducing.

She also smiled and said warmly, "Okay, step-mother!"

Qiu Zhixuan left.

Feng Yuning pulled the a bit useless Yu Xi into Gu Zixi’s bedroom.

At this moment, the bedroom had a slightly more lived-in feel than the guest room did a few days ago.

Apparently understanding that Gu Zixi liked reading books on economics, Feng Chengjin had brought over many books from the study for him, along with some operating reports from Fengyi Company, business procedures, and policy formulations, all for Gu Zixi to see.

Gu Zixi truly had an exceptionally high intelligence.

Even though he had been eating meals, entertaining himself appropriately, and even playing over a dozen rounds of mahjong last night when Feng Jingguo got the itch, he’d still managed to read through a significant amount of the books and materials.

The bookmarks placed within, and the neatly organized sections made the sibling pair deeply astonished.

But what was even more astonishing for the siblings...was Gu Zixi’s ever-changing demeanor each day!

Today, Gu Zixi was dressed in black, different from the black hoodie and pants from that day. Today, he seemed to consider that Yu Yuanshen would be coming, and the Yu Family and Feng Family would be discussing a marriage; if confirmed, there would also be a family banquet at the National Gate Marriott Hotel at noon, requiring more formal attire.

Gu Zixi wore a shirt and slacks. Although he didn’t have a tie around his neck, every silver button was meticulously fastened to the top, the small silver collar accentuating his overly handsome face with a charisma befitting a prince in the night.

Not to mention his current posture—

He was seated on the sofa; the Feng Family Villa rooms were spacious, and each bedroom came with a living area, a study, and a bathroom. In the expanse of the room, his legs were crossed, and the gentle curve of his lips, without a smile, emitted an air of dominance.

Not as overwhelming as the little uncle, but definitely not to be underestimated.

It was Feng Yuning’s first formal meeting with Gu Zixi. During little uncle and step-mother’s wedding, the scene was too chaotic, and except for that day at the Feng Family, Gu Zixi was mostly at the Gu Family’s rose old villa, and from their previous angles at the door, they couldn’t see clearly either.

Seeing Gu Zixi’s face head-on, Feng Yuning’s mind flashed four words, simply—stunning beyond belief!

Feng Yuning looked stunned, speechless.

Beside her, Yu Xi, who was here to get to the point, was a bit anxious and lightly nudged Feng Yuning’s arm.

Feng Yuning didn’t respond.

Nudged her arm again, in an attempt to assert himself, he deliberately took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

But Feng Yuning still didn’t react.

By the third time, Yu Xi became a bit anxious, facing Gu Zixi’s curious expression watching him, wanting to see what he would say next, he nudged Feng Yuning’s arm and whispered, "Sister!"

Feng Yuning finally spoke.

However, what she said almost made Yu Xi drop the cigarette from his mouth.

Swore loudly, MMP!

Feng Yuning’s eyes lit up, and she rushed to Gu Zixi and said, "You must be our little uncle, right? Do you have a girlfriend? I have lots of girlfriends; I can introduce some to you!"

Yu Xi: "..."

Gu Zixi was taken aback, bewildered, "You said, what?"

Feng Yuning, in jubilance, having just gotten the baby, and Uncle Yu’s sudden tobacco-quitting move for her, enveloping her in pink bubbles every day imagining when Uncle Yu might fall for her, upon seeing a singleton, couldn’t resist matchmaking everyone.

Seating herself swiftly on the sofa opposite, Feng Yuning smiled with eyes curved into crescents, "I said, little uncle, do you have a girlfriend? I can introduce some to you! Oh my, I’ve always heard step-mother has an incredibly handsome brother, and I’ve never seen him until now. Truly seeing with your own eyes beats hearing a hundred times, this look, this temperament...tut tut, in my memory, only little uncle was this handsome ten years ago. By the way, you don’t have a girlfriend, right?"

Gu Zixi was dumbfounded, after half a beat, awkwardly twitched his lips and said, "Oh...no, but there’s no need, I..."

Before he could finish, Feng Yuning interrupted.

"Hey, no need to be polite? When men and women reach maturity, they should marry. You don’t have to be shy. I see we’re about the same age, and I have plenty of girlfriends. Even if mine aren’t suitable, Yu Xi has many too. If the girls aren’t suitable, guys would do too, right? Yu Xi?"

Within Feng Yuning’s heart—there was a torrent of excitement! Gu Zixi was just too good-looking! Too good-looking! Too good-looking! Important things said three times!

She’s finally understood why Yu Xi was staring at the little uncle and got misunderstood. This appearance...tut tut, if she were in his shoes, she would too!

Feng Yuning was naturally the boldest in the Old Feng Family; she dared to pursue Yu Yuanshen without fear, and seeing Gu Zixi now heightened her enthusiasm with ease.

But on the spot—

It was awkward.

Especially hearing that last sentence...

Yu Xi despairingly and painfully stared at Gu Zixi, his inner turmoil already writing off his sister who led him to this pit.

Across, Gu Zixi awkwardly yet with surprise scrutinized Yu Xi. His heart was set aflutter, reevaluating the usually indifferent Yu Xi, seeing him in a new light!
