Meanwhile, Gu Xinfei had followed Song Zhen to the private room.
Inside the private room was a rectangular dining table, with no dinner dishes laid out; only two cups of coffee and the dessert that Gu Xinfei used to enjoy.
When Song Zhen saw the dessert, his brow furrowed slightly.
He had told Qi Lei to book a place for him to talk with Gu Xinfei, specifically mentioning not to eat.
Qi Lei always managed affairs in line with Song Zhen's wishes.
This was also why Qi Lei had remained by Song Zhen's side for so many years.
But now…
Today, he was going to lay things out in the open with Gu Xinfei, yet Qi Lei had arranged all these delicate, pale-pink desserts, rainbow-like macaron cakes, and a pile of sweet treats whose names couldn't be recalled—stripping away any semblance of a serious atmosphere.
Just as he contemplated calling it off, the door opened, and Gu Xinfei came in.
Song Zhen silently picked up a cup of coffee and walked to a spot far from the cakes to place it down.
He also pulled out a chair and sat down in silence.
Gu Xinfei walked in, head held high despite the nervous tension inside her.
Seeing that the cakes were all her past favorites,
a crowd of them gathered together—they were indeed adorable.
She suddenly felt a sense that Song Zhen treated her very well, and she began to doubt whether she had misunderstood something.
With a smile on her face, she walked over and sat down, chuckling, "So many, huh? I've been dieting recently, afraid I'll gain weight."
"Xinfei," Song Zhen lounged back in his chair, one hand on the table, his deep, black pupils unwavering as they stared at her, "the person I've always loved has been Zhouzhou all along."
The color drained from Gu Xinfei's face!
Song Zhen didn't give her a chance to catch her breath, "It's just that I mistook someone else for her in the past.
I always thought the one I liked was you, because Zhouzhou was too insecure back then and lied, claiming she was the Gu Family's young miss.
So, when I started Fengyun Group and went to the Gu Family looking for you, I only recognized the title of 'young miss'!
But now, I've figured everything out.
You are not her.
Zhouzhou is the person I've always wanted to find in my heart.
I, once her cherished moonlight,
and she, always my little sun in my heart.
I'm very sorry for the trouble my undying pursuit has brought you in the past.
Calling you out today was to discuss this matter.
I will treat Zhouzhou very well, cherish her as I cherish my own life.
I hope you, and your mother, will stop your bullying of her!"
This revelation utterly surpassed Gu Xinfei's expectations!
She took a long time to organize her thoughts.
After Song Zhen finished speaking, he just indulged in his coffee.
He was giving her time to process everything.
But his time was limited too, and once he finished his coffee, seeing that she remained silent, he already stood up.
Qi Lei by the door of the private room had listened to his boss's words, finally understanding why he started pursuing the sister and then later kneeled before the sister with flowers in hand!
It turned out...
The lover the boss had always been seeking was Miss Gu, not the young miss of the Gu Family!
Qi Lei stealthily glanced at the pile of desserts in front of Gu Xinfei, feeling like he was digging his own grave!
Song Zhen turned and walked away, "It's okay if you can't figure it out now; you can think it over slowly when you go back.
I've said all I needed to say, Xinfei. You're a smart girl, but all your pretenses are now useless in my eyes.
From now on, Zhouzhou has me, and you better not think about deceiving her any longer!"
Song Zhen left.
Qi Lei didn't dare say another word, closely following behind Song Zhen as he left.
Gu Yibo had just sent his younger daughter and Cassie off before sitting down himself.
No sooner had he taken a few sips of coffee than he saw Song Zhen come out.
