"Give me time," was all he could say.
"Gong Chengjue, I could still respect you for marrying Zhou Ruoling for the sake of the Zhou family's power, at least you dared to take responsibility and knew what cooperation meant. But what you're saying now makes me feel contempt. You've been implying to me time and time again that you're going to use the Zhou family and then kick them to the curb?"
Gong Chengjue: "..."
He felt utterly helpless, unable to communicate effectively.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he couldn't say anything at all.
See? She saw right through you. You're speechless now.
Su Ziqing continued with a cold laugh and sarcasm, "Other families' daughters are probably completely fooled by your two-faced ways, wishing they could throw themselves at you, even if they were mistresses, they would want to be the mistress of the Gong family, but! Gong Chengjue, you should know that I am not that kind of person."
"I didn't..." I didn't!
"You've been hinting at this to me time and time again, I really... despise you. Do you want me to regret ever liking you?" Su Ziqing chuckled twice.
"Ding." The elevator rang at this moment, and Feng Xixuan, who was nearby, had already rushed over.
Dressed all in black, he looked as cool as an assassin.
As for late-night snacks? They don't exist.
Seeing Gong Chengjue outside, and Su Ziqing keeping a close watch on things, he was extremely gratified.
"Senior brother." Su Ziqing finally relaxed when she saw Feng Xixuan arrive so quickly. Just now, she had been thinking about what she should do if Gong Chengjue forced his way in.
Feng Xixuan walked to Su Ziqing's side, "I'll do it."
Su Ziqing looked at Gong Chengjue and said calmly, "You can leave now."
"Ziqing!" Gong Chengjue reached out to grab her...
Su Ziqing took a step back, but Feng Xixuan reached out to stop her, refusing to back down. "Gong Chengjue."
"Get out of the way." Gong Chengjue glared at Feng Xixuan with a chilling expression.
How annoying! Why is he always here? How come he has so much free time to wander around here?
Feng Xixuan was not intimidated by his expression at all. Instead, she said in the same cold voice, "Then let's see if you have the ability to make me move aside."
Seeing that the two might start fighting at any moment, Su Ziqing said, "It's late, senior brother, don't talk to him so much."
"Did you hear that?" Feng Xixuan glanced at Gong Chengjue.
Everyone says that brothers-in-law are difficult to deal with, but this Feng Xixuan is more difficult than a hundred brothers-in-law. Seeing that he couldn't have a proper talk with Su Ziqing today, Gong Chengjue decided to have a good talk with Feng Xixuan instead.
"I heard you're looking for someone?" Gong Chengjue straightened his sleeves, then looked at Feng Xixuan and said calmly, "Little kitty..."
Sure enough, Feng Xixuan, who had just been so fierce that he wanted to fight, changed his expression slightly when he heard Gong Chengjue's words.
He looked at Gong Chengjue, scrutinized him closely, and then sneered, "You think I'll let you in just because you say that?"
Gong Chengjue shook his head, then dropped a bombshell that Feng Xixuan couldn't refuse to believe: "I was the one who sent her to find Sakai Jiro."
Su Ziqing stood there, looking at Gong Chengjue. Based on her understanding of him, she felt... he was lying.
"Gong Chengjue, don't joke about something like this!!" He didn't know how long Senior Brother Feng had been looking for the kitten, nor did he know how important the kitten was to Senior Brother Feng.
Not everything, and not everyone, can be used to lie! This joke isn't funny at all.
Gong Chengjue looked at her, a smile on his handsome face, but there was no hint of joking in it.
Su Ziqing frowned. Could he really know about kittens?
Why didn't he show any of this before?
Feng Xixuan looked at Gong Chengjue, wondering if he was saying it on purpose.
After all, there were people who dared to sell him fake news before, but the consequences were dire, so no one dared to try selling information again.
Gong Chengjue... He doesn't need to sell information, but at this point in time, he reveals that he actually knows Little Kitty?
What a coincidence!
"Why should I believe you?" Feng Xixuan finally spoke.
Gong Chengjue looked at him, their gazes met, collided, and clashed in the air. Finally, Gong Chengjue's lips curled up slightly. "You don't have to believe me. Anyway, the person I've been looking for for years isn't me."
Those words really hit home.
The three of them stood there awkwardly at the door. Su Ziqing looked at Feng Xixuan's expression and knew that he would react like this whenever there was news about the kitten.
"Come in." She didn't want to talk to Gong Chengjue, but if he knew anything about the kitten, then he could come in and talk.
However……
Gong Chengjue raised his hand to check the time, and said as if he was in a hurry, "I have an international video conference to attend."
Su Ziqing: "..." Why is he acting all high and mighty now? Didn't he just say he was going to come in?
Not letting him in would be a huge loss of face for him, right? So he's refusing the invitation now?
"I'm leaving now." Gong Chengjue really did it on purpose!
Since Feng Xixuan is here anyway, and he can't talk to Su Ziqing alone, there's no point in him staying.
With Su Ziqing present, it was impossible for him to speak with Feng Xixuan alone.
If Feng Xixuan really wants to know the news, she will come to him soon.
Su Ziqing felt angry. This damn arrogance, he was doing it on purpose, leaving his words unfinished and then turning around and leaving.
"You can't flirt like that," she said, looking at him. "Gong Chengjue, finish what you have to say before you leave."
"Hmm? Why?" Once reason returned and emotions were no longer involved, the situation was back in Gong Chengjue's hands.
Now, where was the same attitude he had when speaking to Su Ziqing before Feng Xixuan arrived? Panicked? Nervous? No.
Why? You only said half of what you were going to say and then you wanted to leave?
Her face darkened. "Have you had enough of this nonsense?"
"And what about you?" Gong Chengjue looked at her face, reminding himself to calm down, calm down, and calm down again, to be rational, rational, and rational again.
Words and actions spoken in the heat of the moment are utterly useless.
And it will also lead to a situation where people can't understand each other.
"What do you mean?" He was implying that she was being playful.
He raised his hand, wanting to touch her...
Su Ziqing took a half step back.
Gong Chengjue withdrew his hand and said to her seriously again, "Give me time." Then, he actually turned around and left.
Ding! The elevator doors opened, and Gong Chengjue left without looking back.
Su Ziqing: "..." This damn young master's personality!
Feng Xixuan stood there the whole time, his face serious.
Su Ziqing looked at him, "Senior brother, he couldn't possibly know..." It was practically an admission that Gong Chengjue was lying.
Feng Xixuan didn't follow up on her words, but instead said, "Aren't you tired of standing for so long?"
The two closed the door and stayed in the living room. Su Ziqing saw Feng Xixuan curled up on the sofa, not saying a word, and thought to herself, Gong Chengjue is really too cunning. With just one sentence, he has stirred up Feng Xixuan's emotions.
