Chapter 971: Chapter 42: Splendid Sparks, Only Deep Affection Cannot Be Betrayed

After three seconds of being stunned, everyone couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Even the servant carrying the dried swaddling clothes shrugged their shoulders quietly.

Feng Jingguo’s face turned from pale to red in an instant, so embarrassed he didn’t know what to say.

Feng Chengjin’s deep eyes were bent from smiling, glancing at Feng Jingguo, seemingly wanting to save some face for his dad, or maybe not wanting to weaken his stance for Yu Yu.

He handed the diaper in his hand to Qiu Zhixuan, then turned and walked out of the room.

In the bedroom, Qiu Zhixuan and Ye Xilan ultimately left the old man with some dignity.

Stepping forward, Qiu Zhixuan smiled softly and said, "Dad, he wet himself earlier. If you’re free, would you like to help change his diaper?"

Resolving Feng Jingguo’s embarrassment, he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay."

Helping the servant, they swiftly and carefully changed Feng Yuzhe’s diaper.

Feng Chengjin walked out the door, somewhat slightly stunned.

Because at this moment, the sister-in-law Li Zhi was standing stiffly outside the door.

For so many years, Feng Chengjin and Li Zhi’s relationship had been quite good, but only until before he got married.

Perhaps due to some reluctance towards this marriage or perhaps due to a trace of pride between women, since he got married, the sister-in-law’s attitude towards Qiu Zhixuan had always been lukewarm, including the news of his child’s birth, which didn’t bring much joy.

At this moment even more so...

Seeing the situation, bumping into the sister-in-law like this, yet she clearly just wanted to listen for a bit outside and didn’t want to go in, Feng Chengjin’s expression darkened.

"Sister-in-law?" he called softly.

Li Zhi also snapped out of her daze, feeling quite awkward being caught in this way by Feng Chengjin.

Her face slightly tightened, she smiled, "Oh, I was just going to check on Yu Ze, but suddenly remembered I have something to do. I’ll head up first."

With that, Li Zhi turned and left.

At this moment, a soft laugh came from the bedroom, "Old man, I find that Yu Ze really likes to smile at you."

Feng Jingguo’s triumphant and loud laughter was heard, "Of course, isn’t he my grandson?"

Qiu Zhixuan laughed, her voice tentative, "Since you like children so much, why not bring Yu Yu and Ming Yan back? Their baby is expected to arrive in another three or four months..."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jingguo unhappily "hmph"ed.

But unprecedentedly, this time Feng Jingguo didn’t lose his temper again, he just paused for two seconds and then continued playing with Yu Ze.

This change caused Li Zhi to hear, her body stiffening slightly, her already turbulent emotions in her eyes trembled even more at the words, revealing slight ripples, her soft and gentle hands slightly curled, pausing, before heading upstairs without turning back.

Behind her, Feng Chengjin observed her every subtle reaction, his deep eyes darkening further, frowning.

...

The night grew deeper and deeper.

A peaceful night passed, and the next day came.

Given the frequent misunderstandings of the past few days, upon waking, Yu Xi had a big fallout with Gu Zixi.

At breakfast, positions were arranged based on seniority and age, Yu Xi carried a bowl of oatmeal and unceremoniously took over Gu Zixi’s seat.

Gu Zixi was used to sitting beside his sister every day, and as he walked down the stairs and saw this, he slightly frowned.

Yu Xi didn’t care about any of that, starting a conversation with Qiu Zhixuan, calling her "little mom" every chance he got, even asking about Yu Ze’s situation now and then.

Qiu Zhixuan didn’t think too much about it, after all, the Feng Family and the Gu Family were both family to her at this point. Besides, Yu Xi was a bit silly but also quite fun.

Smiling, she continued engaging lightly in conversation with Yu Xi.

Seeing this, Gu Zixi could only return to Yu Xi’s seat, chatting with Yushan and the younger siblings of the Feng Family.

But how could Yu Xi just let it go like that?

Sneering sideways, after breakfast, when Gu Zixi, as usual, sought out Feng Chengjin for some business knowledge, Yu Xi insisted that since he graduated, he wanted to listen too.

Feng Chengjin didn’t think too much about it, even though his deep black eyes were slightly suspicious of the usually careless Yu Xi. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Nodding his head, he still took them together to the study.

The ensuing process was a long atmosphere that felt like it could kill.

Gu Zixi genuinely had many questions to ask; about "Light and Shadow," Gu Zixi held an inexplicable reverence in his heart, even though years ago, Feng Chengjin got him involved with loan sharks, he still felt this way.
