Chapter 528: [June 5th Update] 7th Update
"Feng Chengjin! What are you doing! I don’t want it!" Gu Zixuan’s fingertips trembled, just about to take it off.Feng Chengjin just smiled, and after buttoning up, stepped back half a step.
"If you don’t want it, just throw it away."
Clearly implying that if she didn’t want it, he wouldn’t wear it again, making Gu Zixuan purse her lips tightly.
Then, Feng Chengjin lowered his head and said, "Or are you worried that I’ll be cold and want to give it back to me?"
Made Gu Zixuan pause, hardening her heart, she turned her face away and said, "Who cares if you’re cold or not! If you don’t want to wear it, who can stop you!"
And walked forward.
Seeing this, Feng Chengjin, noticing that Gu Zixuan was willing to wear it, sighed in relief, hooking his lips.
Upon hearing Gu Zixuan’s chilly words, he laughed self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and followed her.
The import-export supermarket wasn’t far, but not too close to the Gu Family’s house.
Gu Zixuan came out because there wasn’t any cooking oil or fresh vegetables at home needed for dinner.
A distance of about 800 meters, she walked all the way.
Feng Chengjin also felt there was no need to drive for this distance, plus it gave him a chance to take a stroll with Gu Zixuan, adding a bit more time to see each other. At the Gu Family house, once she returned, she would lock herself in her bedroom, unwilling to see him.
He was honestly a bit terrified of waiting...
So along the way, because of the slippery rain-snow weather, Gu Zixuan walked slowly, and Feng Chengjin kept a not-too-close, not-too-far distance to her side-rear, finding it quite enjoyable.
The road... accompanied by the silence between the two, led them to the red-green light at the second intersection.
Standing by the sidewalk, because of the New Year, the road was particularly deserted, with few pedestrians, making the silence as they waited for the light even more pronounced. And as a gust of cold wind blew, Feng Chengjin couldn’t help but turn sideways and coughed.
Making Gu Zixuan, while glancing sideways at him, unable to hold back her trembling eyes, turning red, tears welling up.
Finally, as she pursed her lips, she couldn’t hold back any longer and was the first to speak.
"I’m almost there, I can buy the stuff myself, you should go back!"
After coughing, Feng Chengjin had just fished a tissue from his pocket, wiped his mouth and nose, then tossed the tissue into a nearby trash can.
That’s when he heard Gu Zixuan say those words without turning around.
So, the next moment, he smiled, and as the green light lit up and Gu Zixuan prepared to leave quickly, he grabbed her arm, spun her around, and pulled her back into his arms.
As their soft body and his firm chest came together again, memories flooded Gu Zixuan’s mind, and for a moment, she almost couldn’t hold back from crying.
And Feng Chengjin, close to her ear, smiled, "I’ve finally waited long enough. You still care for me, you’re still softhearted towards me, aren’t you?"
Gu Zixuan bit her lip, forcing the taste of blood to stabilize her reason and thoughts. "What nonsense are you spouting! How could I be softhearted towards you! For what you did, I..."
But this time, before she could finish, Feng Chengjin’s "Shh!" completely interrupted her.
"Don’t say it, I don’t want to hear it, nor do I want to believe it."
Gu Zixuan was rendered speechless.
Feng Chengjin smiled, continuing to hold her in this satisfying position, trying to hug her tighter, completely encompassing her, then slowly said, "Actually, these days, I’ve been wondering why you refuse to forgive me, not even a tiny bit. It’s not in your nature. You’re a person who’d cry over a cat’s death... Honestly, Zixuan, I don’t understand why you insist on being so cold to me. If it’s truly because I hurt your family, lied to you, kept things from you, I’ve got nothing to say. With this matter, you can vent your anger, be furious, however you please. I admit to everything; it’s just that if you want to take revenge on me, this isn’t the best way, right? You should marry me, let me take you home, and then you can torment me, deal with me however you wish for the rest of my life, make me apologize to your entire family, whatever you want. You could even, if not satisfied with the revenge on me, take it out on my son, my grandson, until the entire Feng Family pays for the Gu Family, asking me for a lifetime of atonement."
In that moment, Gu Zixuan, having never heard such twisted reasoning, genuinely felt...
"And..." Feng Chengjin paused, slightly loosened the hug, looked into the eyes of Gu Zixuan, whose eyes were clearly rippling, and smiled.
"The next words you might find laughable, I myself am not very confident, or you might think I’m being self-indulgent, seeing myself as too important, whatever it is, I want to finish. If it’s the second reason, not because you don’t want to forgive me. You just feel that because of my family issues, you’re afraid I’ll be under too much pressure, dragging me down, you feel this matter can never be turned back, so you’re deliberately so cold to me, then I want to say it’s completely unnecessary. I’m an adult, I know what I’m doing, what I’m choosing. Zixuan, don’t say things haven’t reached that point yet, even if it really comes to that point..."
Feng Chengjin gazed into Gu Zixuan’s eyes and said, "Between them and you, I choose you, between family and love, I choose love."
In that instant.
Accompanied by the drifting snowflakes, Gu Zixuan’s heart was momentarily moved, turned into a sea of waves, not knowing.
All she knew, looking at the deep eyes before her, holding her, having searched for her for eight years, waited for her for eight years, this man now firmly refusing to let her retreat half a step, she suddenly had a lump in her throat, unable to utter even half a "no".
Gu Zixuan was moved, no matter the reason, she struggled, trembled.
Feng Chengjin could feel it, so after a brief pause, he pressed his advantage and asked, "Zixuan, will you forgive me?"
Gu Zixuan didn’t speak.
Feng Chengjin leaned in closer, asked again, "Will you forgive me?"
Gu Zixuan trembled even more, unable to speak.
The short silence made Feng Chengjin’s heart at this moment pound to the extreme, also as if being sentenced to the extreme. He knew he was standing at the boundary of light and shadow; if Gu Zixuan nodded, everything between them would be forgiven, and he could be in paradise in a single thought.
Of course, if at this time, Gu Zixuan still pushed him away, he’d have no other way, a single thought in hell.
