Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 575 - 447: The two met, I added more content, readers, hurry and eat your phone! 3000
And at this moment.
Beijing, in front of the Great Hall of the People, at the original spot.
Gu Qingfeng watched with trembling eyes as the distance between Feng Chengjin and his daughter grew further and further.
His daughter, however, cast her eyes down, continuing her phone call.
The call coming from the United States was a wrong number, causing her to say with resignation, "Sorry, you’re mistaken." Then she shook her head, looked up at him, and smiled again, "It was a wrong call. I’m done here. Dad, let’s go home."
Gu Qingfeng was utterly stunned.
Perhaps in his over fifty years of life, he had never been so astonished.
But... could he say it? Not to mention that if he said it now, his daughter would definitely turn around and leave the moment she saw Feng Chengjin.
Considering that even he heard about Feng Chengjin’s current engagement status.
Even if his daughter didn’t leave, even if he shamelessly called out to Feng Chengjin and made him stay.
If there were still feelings between them, if Feng Chengjin remembered his daughter, if his daughter couldn’t let go of Feng Chengjin, and if they still wanted to be together, what about public opinion? Wouldn’t his daughter become a homewrecker who usurped someone else’s position?
Gu Qingfeng couldn’t say it.
He could only be tortured by morals and etiquette in his bewildered thoughts.
Ten years ago, his daughter inadvertently found herself in a situation of "the third party," causing his furious resentment against Feng Chengjin’s Achilles’ heel.
Ten years later, should he really repay the debt and let his daughter be a third party?
Even if both he and Qiu Yuan were to lose face over it.
Would she agree to it herself...
Gu Qingfeng’s thoughts were chaotic, and he had no answers at that moment. Facing his daughter’s words, he could only nod, being helped into the car by her.
But though his body left, his heart and eyes remained there.

Late at night.
After returning to the courtyard, the restless Gu Qingfeng couldn’t sleep in the bedroom and paced back and forth.
Hence, Qiu Yuan, who was still idly embroidering, couldn’t bear it any longer. She paused her needlework and said helplessly, "What’s wrong with you tonight?"
Pausing for a moment, Gu Qingfeng realized he couldn’t handle this alone and sat down opposite her, saying, "I saw Xiao Feng today."
"Who?" Qiu Yuan couldn’t help but be startled and pricked her finger.
Gu Qingfeng noticed and, frowning in distress, couldn’t help but get the medicine box to tend to Qiu Yuan’s wound. At the same time, he recounted everything verbatim...
"It’s Feng Chengjin..."
Ten minutes later, after hearing the whole story, Qiu Yuan also remained silently speechless.
Her heart trembled, her eyes moist, and all the memories that were evoked once again after two years...
Qiu Yuan’s heart was like being twisted by a knife, as she looked at her determined daughter, torn between pain and etiquette, causing untold pain to this once well-educated and honorable family with strict values.
Gu Qingfeng also knew he shouldn’t have discussed this with Qiu Yuan. Seeing his wife in pain with him, he felt very guilty.
However, for some reason, women sometimes are inherently stronger in certain matters, and Qiu Zhixuan inherited that stubbornness from Qiu Yuan.
Thus, though Qiu Yuan was in pain, she ultimately decided to hide it and offer a decisive answer first, "Qingfeng, let them meet."
Qiu Yuan could say this to Gu Qingfeng because the latent power of the Qiu Family and Gu Family was still substantial enough to accomplish many things in their lifetime, allowing them to navigate the hidden upper echelons of Beijing City.
And for Gu Qingfeng, allowing Feng Chengjin and his daughter to meet was certainly within his power; it’s just...
Gu Qingfeng hesitated.
Yet Qiu Yuan said only a few words that completely convinced Gu Qingfeng.
"Qingfeng, we have always adhered to the notion that children should choose for themselves, from her marriage to divorce. We stopped at sharing our opinions and never intervened. Your actions toward Feng Chengjin ten years ago were also based on the mistaken belief that the man she liked was He Qimo, resulting in a series of misjudgments."
"It’s not your fault; it’s just fate playing games. Therefore, since we never interfered with her choices, and always supported her true wishes, why intervene now? Let them meet, after all, two years ago, when Xiao Feng was in a coma, they didn’t even get a final farewell. With so many misunderstandings and confusion between them, this meeting needs some words to be spoken and some endings to be resolved. If Feng Chengjin has stopped loving, then our daughter will no longer need to persist, which is also a way of letting go and liberation for her and a good thing for the Gu Family. If Feng Chengjin still loves her, and they still want to entangle..."
Qiu Yuan furrowed her brow, saying, "That’s their choice, even if it violates our principles and views and harms our Gu Family’s reputation and dignity, we have no right to interfere. Our daughter is an independent entity; we cannot accompany her for a lifetime. Her future choices, whether to be scolded or beaten, come from her own heart’s consideration. Some hurdles in life she must overcome herself; I don’t see it as a bad thing. Optimistically, it’s a kind of honing and growth. She will eventually learn what is right through setbacks."
"Lastly... I don’t believe my daughter, Qiu Yuan, is that bad! And the man she’s interested in won’t disappoint!"
This implies, whether the meeting ends in success or separation, Feng Chengjin and his daughter will not take the path of being scolded, right?
Brows tightly knitted, lost in thought, remembering the character of Feng Chengjin and his daughter.
Gu Qingfeng nodded firmly, saying, "Alright! I’ll go find Uncle Ji now!"
Qiu Yuan encouraged again, saying, "Go ahead, Rong City is having heavy rain these days. I saw on the news that flights are banned at night; Feng Chengjin probably can’t leave, there’s still time."
Gu Qingfeng nodded, thinking about the ten-year marriage debt owed to Xiao Feng due to a misunderstanding...
After pursing his lips, he took his coat, seized the night, and went out.
... Red Sleeve Adds Fragrance Original Exclusive Segmentation Line ...
On Feng Chengjin’s side, the rain in Rong City and the flight ban indeed detained him.
Sitting at the airport and listening to Qin Nuo report the rebooking situation, he had no comments. Staying for two more days was fine; he nodded, then, accompanied by the special personnel arranged by Minister Song for airport transportation, returned to Beijing City by car.
At night, upon receiving a dinner invitation from a leader in Haidian District, the idle Feng Chengjin agreed without much thought.
As for Qiu Zhixuan.
The next day at work, when Qiu Zhixuan heard Director Wang cheerfully say, "Xiaoqiu, you did an excellent job on this task. We’re preparing to promote you early. Join us for dinner with our chief executive tonight; it’s also a good opportunity to thank some leaders who helped you with organizing relations and introduce you to a few young talents."
Although Qiu Zhixuan felt these gestures were unnecessary, somewhat unwillingly furrowed her brow, it was indeed necessary to thank the leaders. This matchmaking matter, though impossible to shake off once inside this governmental system, couldn’t be avoided at a casual dinner, even if not explicitly labeled as a matchmaking event, so she nodded, saying, "Alright, Director Wang, I’ll arrive early," and then left the office.
Therefore...
Some fates in life are predetermined by heaven, while others depend on human effort.
But to bring about something, it always requires the right timing, location, and people.
Two evenings later.
Feng Chengjin changed into a shirt, suit, and tie after shaving at the hotel, and then left.
Qiu Zhixuan changed into a dress at home, applied light makeup, wore accessories, and left.
One headed south to north in Beijing City, the other from north to south.
Then one of them ended up at a position next to the other in Beijing City, with one going from south to north, and the other from north to south.
Then, at the hotel, having changed his shirt, suit, and tie, shaved, and got ready for departure.
Qiu Zhixuan also put on a dress, suit, light makeup, and a necklace, and left home.
Though feeling awkward, she took a seat, not knowing how to apologize to them all.
Director Wang smiled, glanced at her, and said, "It’s fine, you’re the only woman here today, we’re just here to set up a matchmaking for you, it’s fine for you to be a little reserved. After all, you’re precious to us in Haidian District," she said with a smile. "You’ve done a great job with this task, and we’re planning to give you an early appointment. You’ll meet our chief executive at dinner tonight, and it’ll be a good opportunity to thank some of the leaders who helped with your organizational matters and build connections. Even if it isn’t announced as a matchmaking event, you can’t avoid going to a casual dinner." She nodded and said, "Okay, Director Wang, I’ll be there once I’m ready." Then she waited for the door to the office to close.
Which then...
Some fates in life are destined by heaven, others are the result of human affairs.
In recent days in Beijing City, there had been heavy rain, and the evening news announced that flights were grounded, so Feng Chengjin should not be able to leave, and there was still time.
So Gu Qingfeng nodded, pondering over how a misunderstanding led to owing Xiao Feng a ten-year wife...
Licking his lips slightly after the thought, he put on his coat and stepped out into the night.
... Red Sleeve Adds Fragrance Original Exclusive Segmentation Line ...
As for Feng Chengjin on the other side of things, the rain in Rong City and the grounded flights indeed caused his delay.
Sitting at the airport, he listened to Qin Nuo’s call reporting the rebooking situation. He didn’t have any objections. If he had to stay for a couple more days, so be it; he nodded and returned to Beijing City by car, with the special airport transportation personnel arranged by Minister Song.
On the other side, Qiu Zhixuan.
Upon returning to work the next day, she heard Director Wang say with a big smile, "Xiaoqiu, we’ll prepare for your early appointment, and tonight you’ll join us to dine with our chief executive. It’s also a chance to thank the leaders who helped facilitate your organizational relations for this matter and get to know some of the leaders who helped you with organizing and negotiating relationships this time around. Just come and have a chat, even if it’s about matchmaking, you can’t avoid going, so with a nod, she said, ’Alright, Director Wang, I’ll head out early.’ Then she left the office."
So it was...
In life, some fates are determined by heaven, others depend on engagement and cultivation of connections.
On that particular evening.
Feng Chengjin, unable to leave Rong City due to rainy weather and grounded flights, stayed behind.
Dressed in Beijing City attire, he quietly sat at the airport and, hearing the update from Qin Nuo regarding the rescheduling situation, he had no objections - staying for two more days was fine. He nodded, and then accompanied by the designated airport staff arranged by Minister Song for departure transportation, returned to the city center of Beijing.
Meanwhile, Qiu Zhixuan.
The following day at work, after hearing Director Wang’s cheerful words, "Xiaoqiu, we want you to take on your new position ahead of schedule because your work this time has been excellent. Tonight, you’ll have dinner with our chief executive to thank some leaders who helped you navigate through organizational relationships for this promotion, a good chance to meet some people. Even if we don’t say it’s a matchmaking dinner, you can’t just not go. And so, nodding her head, she said, ’Okay, Director Wang, I will be there after work.’ She left the office after that.
Therefore...
Some relationships in life are destined by heaven, while others must be nurtured by people.
On the evening two days later.
After changing into a shirt, suit, and tie, Feng Chengjin left his hotel.
Meanwhile, Qiu Zhixuan changed into a skirt, put on some light makeup, wore some jewelry, and left her home.
One heading from south to north, and the other from north to south in Beijing City.
Arriving at the venue, changing into a shirt, suit, and tie after removing his stubble, and leaving.
As Qiu Zhixuan reached for the only vacant seat beside her, she found herself in the midst of male leaders, unsure of how to apologize to them all for her tardiness.
Director Wang tried to comfort her by saying with a smile, "We’re here for your matchmaking, Xiaoqiu, don’t worry about being late. You’re valuable to us in Haidian District."
He nodded and said, "Alright, King Bureau, I’ll come after work." Then she left the office door.
It seemed...
Some fates in life are predetermined by heaven, while others require human intervention and effort.
Two evenings later...
Feng Chengjin dressed in his shirt, suit, and tie, and made his way to the hotel.
Qiu Zhixuan also changed into a dress, applied light makeup, put on jewelry, and left home.
One headed south to north, and the other north to south in Beijing City.
When she finally arrived at the venue, dressed in a skirt, with light makeup and jewelry, feeling rather awkward as she took a seat next to Director Wang among all male officials, unsure how to apologize to them.
Embarrassed, she was unsure of how to apologize to all the leaders.
Director Wang looked at her with a smile, saying, "It’s alright; you’re the only woman here today. We’re just here to set you up on a date, so feel free to be a bit reserved. You’re our precious one here in Haidian District, and you did a great job with this task; we’re planning to promote you early. Tonight, while you’re dining with our chief executive, you can thank some leaders who assisted in your organizational relations and meet some potential suitors."
She nodded, saying, "Okay, Director Wang, I’ll be there early evening." Then exited the office.
But so...
There are some fates in life predetermined by destiny, while others depend on personal choice and cultivation of relationships.
That evening...
Feng Chengjin changed into a new shirt, suit, and tie at the hotel, shaved, and went out.
Qiu Zhixuan did the same at her home, dressing in a new skirt, applying light makeup, adorning jewelry, and departed.
He traveled from south to north within Beijing City, while she traveled from north to south.
Upon arriving at the venue, finding her way into the only empty seat next to Director Wang, feeling exceptionally self-conscious, she couldn’t decide how to apologize to the gathered leaders.
A smiling Director Wang glanced at her and said, "No worries, you’re the only woman today, we organized this for your matchmaking. It’s okay to be a bit dignified."
After listening for about 10 minutes.
The server brought energy and courtesy along with,"Mr. Feng, this way please."
Her awkward heart shook fiercely.
The word Mr. Feng seemed to hang in the air, and she was still in the middle of going, "..."
The banquet hall’s door pushed open.
He entered.
Sitting at a table, Feng Chengjin appeared neat after changing into a crisp shirt, a suit, and a tie.
While Qiu Zhixuan, having put on a dress, applied light makeup, and added some jewelry, had just left home.
One heading south through Beijing City, the other heading north.
But when she finally arrived at the venue, the only lone seat next to Director Wang was the one beside her, surrounded by all male officials.
Turning away, not knowing how to handle this group gathering.
About ten minutes later, accompanied by the eager yet polite staff, "Mr. Feng, please this way."
The voice rocked her heart.
Mr. Feng made her heart flutter when calling.
The banquet hall doors swung open.
His tall, slender figure entered.
The long black coat accentuated his towering frame, not to mention his chiseled jawline, sharp cheekbones, and pronounced nose, with deep-set eyes like obsidian.
His features were remarkably handsome, causing the heart to flutter whenever women who saw him would be captivated by his looks.
Except that his pair of eyes, as deep as obsidian, made people shudder with cold apprehension.
She raised her eyes in a daze.
And he also, while looking for an empty seat in the banquet hall, saw her at once.
The two locked eyes...
