Chapter 1011 - 814: Brilliant Starfire, Only Deep Affection Cannot Be Betrayed [66]
Late at night, Feng Chengjin was tangled and couldn’t leave. After the party ended, the provincial leaders, still in high spirits, suggested going to KTV, and they were immediately taken to the most luxurious private club in Rong City.The old folks enthusiastically sang "Spring in Northern Country," while Feng Chengjin rubbed his temples and called Qiu Zhixuan, telling her to go to sleep first.
How could Qiu Zhixuan sleep?
After feeding Yu Ze and stocking up on milk for a few hours, she handed Yu Ze over to Aunt Wang and the young maid, then got into her car and drove away from the Feng Family’s old house.
...
The night was as deep and splendid as a sapphire hanging on the edge of the sea, with stars gleaming brilliantly.
Receiving a call from Qiu Zhixuan, Chen Yiyue was really surprised.
"Want to see me? Coffee? Can you drink coffee in your condition now?"
After a brief conversation, Chen Yiyue nodded, "Alright, I’ll wait for you at the Starbucks on Changsheng Street."
With that, she turned on the lamp, got out of bed wearing the ice silk pajamas she had already changed into, and walked into the wardrobe to put on some casual clothes. However, as her fingertips brushed against the fabric, she hesitated a bit and changed into something more formal.
After changing into a cheongsam as elegant as orchids, just before leaving, she grabbed a shawl and gracefully draped it over her shoulders.
Arriving at Starbucks, this time Qiu Zhixuan arrived first.
Considering coffee can stimulate the central nervous system and lead to dependency, and that a breastfeeding mother would pass it into her milk, affecting the baby’s development, Chen Yiyue ordered water for Qiu Zhixuan.
In fact, Qiu Zhixuan didn’t mind what she drank; it was just that, back then, it was Chen Yiyue who first discovered her pregnancy, and now that Chen knows so much about motherhood, it couldn’t help but make Qiu Zhixuan suspicious.
"Miss Chen, I remember you said you were always single. Do you have any children?"
The question was like a knife stabbed into Chen Yiyue’s heart. She smiled, put down the hand that was adding water for Qiu Zhixuan, and said, "No, I don’t."
Pausing for three seconds, she saw Qiu Zhixuan, who had just sat down, still watching her.
Chen Yiyue pondered for a moment, then sighed faintly, "Well, perhaps I once had the joy of being a mother, but in the end, the child wasn’t born after all..."
Having also lost a child once, Qiu Zhixuan deeply understood the pain of such regret and absence.
She said, "What happened?"
She came here tonight determined to confront Li Zhi head-on!
After all—
She could be softhearted enough to believe that a harmonious family brings prosperity, tolerating Li Zhi like that, but Li Zhi dared to meddle with Chengjin!
No woman would allow another woman to destroy her deeply cherished marriage!
Since Li Zhi was so unkind, with a flash of inspiration in her mind, she decided to be unkind as well!
Having once vaguely thought Chen Yiyue might be connected to Brother Feng, Chen immediately became her top choice to provoke Li Zhi. Negotiating with Chen Yiyue for help would certainly be challenging, but she decided to come anyway.
She just didn’t expect that Chen Yiyue had once had a child, which truly surprised her. For a moment, she couldn’t even bring up the reason she came, as her heart’s softest part first showed concern for Chen Yiyue.
Chen Yiyue’s face remained calm, as she looked at Qiu Zhixuan, unsure if she should speak.
After so many years... everything had been bottled up inside her for so long that Chen Yiyue no longer cared what the outcome would be.
But facing someone whose fate slightly resembled hers, but who managed to win the gamble, she felt the urge for the first time to share her heartache, even if it was just to find someone who understands her to confide in once.
But... how should she begin?
Would Qiu Zhixuan guess that the person is Feng Chengxuan?
Chen Yiyue didn’t speak immediately. Instead, she clutched the edge of the coffee cup and asked, "I can tell you, but Zhi Xuan, promise me, these things must never be known by a third person, never mentioned to anyone, okay? Including your husband—Feng Chengjin."
Chen Yiyue seemed to have an inexplicable, mysterious aversion to the Feng family.
Qiu Zhixuan nodded, "Alright."
Chen Yiyue stirred the coffee in her cup, the patterns getting disturbed as she did. She said lightly, "I remember telling you that the Feng family is vast and powerful, right?"
Qiu Zhixuan nodded, which was why she could never quite figure out if Chen Yiyue’s connection was with Brother Feng or some other relatives in the Feng family. This uncertainty was also why she came tonight to clear things up.
If it was Brother Feng, then she planned to utilize it. If not, she wouldn’t bother Chen Yiyue too much.
