Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me

Chapter 1013 - 67: Starlight Shines Bright, Only Deep Affection Must Not Be Betrayed

Rage surged up out of nowhere, almost blasting apart all the defenses and bottom lines that Qiu Zhixuan could accept.Once, when she’d thought about using Chen Yiyue to provoke her sister-in-law a little, just so her sister-in-law wouldn’t be so arrogant, she had never actually intended to destroy her sister-in-law’s marriage. In this moment, facing this woman who made one’s heart ache down to the bone, that thought had completely vanished.

In fact, what occupied her mind even more was this—if this marriage had been stolen by Li Zhi, if the woman Brother Feng was supposed to take responsibility for was properly and legitimately Chen Yiyue, then the rightful, highest-ranking Mrs. Feng of the Feng Family should be Chen Yiyue! Li Zhi was not the one her brother loved, and even less the one he needed to be responsible for. So why, on the basis of a mistaken belief about his "first time," did she get to monopolize him and even throw her weight around in the Feng Family, stirring up trouble for so many years?

She even caused her brother’s first child, in that era, just to avoid enduring the judgmental eyes of the world, to die in vain?

Even that last shred of moral scruple was gone; anger already flooded every vein in her body.

Then she thought of Yu Yu, thought of Second Sister, thought of herself, thought of all those tangled, hacked-at-but-never-cleared feelings that had been ruined, and the life that was still being ruined now.

In this moment, Qiu Zhixuan had many thoughts in her mind, each one wishing she could immediately drive this scourge of a sister-in-law out of the Feng Family once and for all!

But facing Chen Yiyue in her current state, and considering her own condition of just having given birth, she didn’t say it out loud.

She picked up the water glass in front of her and took a sip. She felt that there were some things she ought to talk to her brother about first.

At the very least, there were two points.

First, if her brother had already decided not to look for Chen Yiyue again, then she couldn’t help him hurt Chen Yiyue once more. Chen Yiyue was truly too pitiful. Clearly the rightful girlfriend, yet forced into being the other woman—this wasn’t something every woman could bear...

Second, if her brother was determined to find Chen Yiyue, then everything had to be carefully planned. After all, her brother and her sister-in-law had two children together, and Li Zhi’s family was far from powerless. The marriage would not be so easy to dissolve. This time, if her brother wanted a divorce, it would definitely be, in all these years of the Feng Family—the greatest upheaval the entire clan had ever seen!

When Qiu Zhixuan left, it was already close to midnight.

Back at Feng Mansion, she looked at that towering, imposing, European-style classical villa, like a royal castle.

The corners of her lips curved in a cold, faint smile.

Her autumn-water eyes held a glint like frost and snow.

...

Upstairs, perhaps the sound of the car entering and those dazzling headlights had startled someone awake.

In the third-floor bedroom, Li Zhi woke from sleep at that hour.

Cold sweat soaked her back, as if she had just endured some nightmare.

She had always slept alone. In the earlier years, even if they did nothing else, Feng Chengxuan had at least still been willing to share a bed with her. In the past few years, especially after she and Third Brother had clashed over his marriage, he truly hadn’t even been willing to come home, and even if he did come back...

Her heart filled with even stronger jealousy as she thought of Qiu Zhixuan. She straightened up, got out of bed, and walked to the window.

The bronzed floor-to-ceiling windows were different from those in ordinary homes; the copper carvings made them seem even more luxurious, and the orange-gold inlaid wall lamps exuded a Europe-royal-palace kind of nobility.

She looked down through the glass. In the middle of the night, the black car was indistinguishable from the others; naturally, she couldn’t see who had come home.

She frowned and looked a couple of times. When she couldn’t see anything, she pulled the slightly cool sleepwear closer around her shoulders and returned to the bed covered in silk duvet covers.

Leaning back, her mind racing with a nameless sense of dread, she belatedly recalled the dream from earlier.

It was that incident from twenty-six years ago—again.

It had also taken place in this old house. Back then, she had taken one look at Feng Chengxuan, the man she was meeting on a blind date, and fallen for him at once. But his attitude toward her had been as cold as could be. They were both at that age of youthful pride and arrogance, and in those days she had been one of the very few women who had studied abroad. The other families around her didn’t measure up in her eyes, while the man she favored, because of the age gap caused by her long years of study, wasn’t willing to accept her.

The appearance of Feng Chengxuan was like a husband tailor-made for her life.

From the first glance, she had decided: she was going to have this man! Even if he had a girlfriend, she was still going to have him!

How could a man Li Zhi fancied possibly marry another woman?

And then the opportunity arrived, as if out of nowhere.

While staying as a guest at the Feng Family’s home, one night she heard noises from a certain room downstairs next door. She’d barely slept all night, and then at dawn she heard an even louder sound, like a door opening and closing, and someone accidentally bumping into the doorframe.
