During the meal, the silent pressure grew even heavier.
Perhaps it was because Gu Zixuan was too delighted, or maybe she had grown accustomed to the silence at family meals, that the only person who mildly greeted Feng Chengjin was her mother, Qiu Yuan.
Feng Chengjin did not even initiate a conversation with her father, and she still felt fine about it.
However, Gu Qingfeng did not feel fine. Halfway through the meal, thinking it was enough, Gu Qingfeng stood up and said to Feng Chengjin, "Mr. Feng, right? Come to the study with me for a moment."
Was this an invitation for a private chat with Feng Chengjin?
Inside, Gu Zixuan felt a surge of anxiety, but there was also an undefined sense of hopeful joy spreading.
Since father initiated the conversation, it should mean he takes it seriously, right?
Feng Chengjin rose and followed Gu Qingfeng into the study.
