Chapter 127
Feng Xixuan chuckled, "If we go up to the rooftop, my Ziqing might think I'm going to bully you."
Gong Chengjue's face was cold. "Mr. Feng, are you that confident in yourself?"
"certainly."
"That Mr. Feng must not know me well enough."
They were locked in a fierce exchange, every word dripping with hostility.
Su Ziqing felt she really wanted to use water to put out the fire.
Feng Xixuan pointed to the balcony and said, "Let's talk over there." Then he said to Lu Linghong, "Linghong, take Ziqing back to her room to rest."
"No!" Su Ziqing protested loudly.
"Be good, listen to me, and I promise I won't lay a hand on him," Feng Xixuan said.
Gong Chengjue frowned. Su Ziqing was his woman, okay?!
However, this was indeed a conversation between men, so although he was unhappy, he agreed to Feng Xixuan's suggestion and said to Su Ziqing, "It's late, go wash up first and go to bed early. I promise I won't make a move on him first."
Of course, if Feng Xixuan makes the first move, he won't be polite and give way.
"..." Su Ziqing looked at Gong Chengjue, wondering if he knew what he was saying.
He can't beat his senior brother, okay?!
Gong Chengjue gave her a reassuring smile, then walked towards the balcony first.
Feng Xixuan gave a soft chuckle and followed her to the balcony.
Closing the floor-to-ceiling windows completely blocked out the sound of conversation.
Looking at that scene, Lu Linghong felt a strange urge to shout "I want to win!" Of course, he unconditionally bet on Xi Xuan to win.
He disliked Gong Chengjue, but couldn't do anything about him. Feng Xixuan was different.
People from different countries don't need to show any respect; there are no ties whatsoever.
Su Ziqing was helped into the room by Lu Linghong. The very responsible Lu Linghong even stood in the doorway, so that Su Ziqing wouldn't go out and cause trouble, while he could have a clear view of the situation outside.
"Senior brother, Lu Linghong!!" Su Ziqing really wanted to explode when she saw Lu Linghong standing there blocking the door like an iron pillar.
"Could you move aside? You know neither of them are easy to bully." It's only been the first day they've known each other, and they've already almost gotten into a fight several times.
If she hadn't intervened, the fire probably would have really started.
This will let the two of them go 'one-on-one,' and who knows what the outcome will be.
Lu Linghong shook his head, "Do you know the consequences of your senior brother's words?"
Su Ziqing felt that his words had a double meaning, "To let or not to let?"
"We can't let that happen."
"OK." Okay, she went to take a shower.
"If anything happens, I'll hold you responsible." Su Ziqing smiled brightly. "You need to think about whether you can bear that responsibility."
Lu Linghong also gave a bright smile, "Okay."
Su Ziqing, “@#%#5”.
"What are you talking about?" Lu Linghong feigned innocence.
Su Ziqing hummed twice, "Take a bath!!"
Outside on the balcony, Gong Chengjue looked at the night view of the capital. Although it was very late, the lights outside were still bright and dazzling.
Feng Xixuan produced two cigars from who-knows-where, handing one to Gong Chengjue and lighting the other himself.
Gong Chengjue looked at the cigar with its head cut off and seriously suspected that Feng Xixuan had anticipated such a private conversation.
He took it.
"What do you think about what happened tonight?" Feng Xixuan asked calmly.
Gong Chengjue originally thought he would ask about his relationship with Su Ziqing, but he didn't expect Feng Xixuan to ask about what happened tonight.
For a moment, she really couldn't contain her surprise, and the look in her eyes as she glanced at Feng Xixuan seemed to be asking, "Did you ask the wrong question?"
Feng Xixuan exhaled a smoke ring and gave a faint smirk, "What, is it strange that I didn't ask about you and Ziqing?"
Gong Chengjue took a breath and, instead of answering the question, directly addressed the question from before: "Terrorist attacks are unlikely to be accidental."
If it's not accidental, then it must be inevitable.
Charity auctions are known to all who participate, so why would a terrorist attack occur at such a venue?
This is something worth pondering.
Feng Xixuan looked at him intently. "Oh? Not by chance? Don't you think it's like in other countries, where terrorist organizations randomly select targets for attacks?"
Upon hearing this, Gong Chengjue raised an eyebrow slightly and asked instead of answering, "What does Mr. Feng think?"
Feng Xixuan looked into the distance, seemingly lost in thought or simply admiring the scenery. After a long while, she finally said, "I don't know."
The difference between "I don't know" and "I don't know" is just one extra character, but it makes the meaning a bit more intriguing.
Gong Chengjue looked at him and made a guess, "Could it be related to Mr. Feng?"
“Gong Chengjue.” Feng Xixuan’s expression turned slightly cold, and his words carried a hint of chill.
Gong Chengjue was not intimidated by him. Instead, he met his gaze. To Lu Linghong, the intense look in their eyes was truly like a blazing fire.
However, in reality, both parties involved were quite calm.
Gong Chengjue smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it."
Feng Xixuan smiled slightly, "Is that so?"
"You are Ziqing's senior brother. Although this is our first meeting, I know that you are very important to Ziqing." In short, it's a case of loving someone because of them.
Feng Xixuan was not happy to hear this. On the contrary, he warned, "Since you know that Ziqing is very important to me, Mr. Gong should think twice before acting."
He rearranged the order of his words about how important he was to Ziqing.
Gong Chengjue tightened his chin slightly, "Mr. Feng..."
“I don’t like you, I really don’t like you.” Feng Xixuan exhaled a smoke ring. “Your Gong family is like a quagmire, and you, on the other hand, have an even worse reputation and a rather complicated background.”
When talking about her complicated background, Feng Xixuan paused for a moment as if on purpose.
Gong Chengjue's expression darkened.
He couldn't find anything out about Feng Xixuan, but Feng Xixuan seemed to know everything about him, retorting sarcastically, "Mr. Feng, have you investigated me?"
"Didn't you investigate me today too?" Feng Xixuan glanced at him, then asked with a hint of disdain, "Did you find anything?"
Gong Chengjue: "..." It would have been better if Feng Xixuan hadn't said those words; the more he said them, the more it showed that his identity was not simple.
“If you’re just using Ziqing as a bulletproof vest, Gong Chengjue…” Feng Xixuan didn’t finish his sentence, “You’d better not have such thoughts.”
Gong Chengjue remained silent, the cigar in his hand burning brightly, the small red flame almost blinding in the night breeze.
Feng Xixuan gave him a deep look. "It's late, Mr. Gong, please go back."
Gong Chengjue: "..."
Feng Xixuan opened the balcony door and went into the living room.
Smart people don't need to say all the unpleasant things in a conversation; sometimes, a single sentence is enough.
Gong Chengjue looked into the distance, then followed him in. His belated answer came out: "You're overthinking it."
He stubbed out his cigar and then looked at Lu Linghong, who was standing guard at the bedroom door. "You two are both single men, so it's not very convenient for you to stay here, is it?"
