Chapter 1014 - 67: Brilliant Sparks, Only Deep Love Cannot Be Betrayed
At that moment, curiosity drove her to walk to the next room in her pajamas, not even having time to throw on a coat.A white shadow quickly drifted past her eyes, seemingly darting out of the room from the other end.
She didn’t get a clear look, furrowed her brows, thinking it might be a servant or someone, and didn’t pay it much mind.
In the bedroom, Feng Chengxuan was sleeping peacefully like a deity. His overly handsome face made her heart pound wildly, not to mention Feng Chengxuan was lying naked, with a quilt loosely draped over his waist, revealing a tantalizing physique.
It was the first time she had seen a man’s body. In those days, her face flushed red and hot, yet she couldn’t tear her eyes away.
Later, it seemed she smelled the thick scent of alcohol in the room and saw the shirt and pants on the ground stained with wine. She seemed to understand a bit, stepped forward, glanced at Feng Chengxuan, and began tidying up the clothes and pants in the room for him. Finally, she noticed his face seemed to be sweaty, with streaks of sweat still lingering. She washed a towel, gently wiping his face, hands, and shoulders...
Finally, she met Feng Chengxuan’s suddenly open eyes.
In the morning sunlight, those jet-black eyes were extremely beautiful, like ink-drenched gems, as deep as an ancient lake.
But when he saw her, he was first bewildered and furrowed his brow, "Why are you here?"
Then shock, panic, and even seemed to think of something, he quickly sat up, pulled the quilt tightly around his body, glanced inside the quilt, revealing endless despair.
"You...you..."
Seeming not to know what to say, he finally asked, "Was it you who looked after me last night?"
His words were a question.
Li Zixin’s heart trembled, watching her own actions, not entirely sure what Feng Chengxuan meant by his last night, but it was indeed she who had taken care of him now.
A bit bewildered, she nodded her head and said, "Yes!"
With just one word, she saw Feng Chengxuan’s eyes filled with despair and pain. He grasped his hair, seemingly extremely regretful, and let out a sound, "Ah..." with an urge to end his life.
How could it be like this? Did taking care of him last night really make him feel so defeated? Li Zixin couldn’t understand.
Until Feng Chengxuan calmed down a bit, stared at her in her thin pajamas again, looking at her a second time with trembling eyes, "Are you sure you didn’t lie to me, that it was you taking care of me last night?"
Li Zixin felt a bit embarrassed being stared at and nodded again.
When asked a third time by Feng Chengxuan with disbelief,
Li Zixin finally sensed something subtle, vaguely Feng Chengxuan seemed to be asking her another layer of meaning, but what was it?
Li Zixin still wasn’t quite sure, but the vague feeling made her tell herself, this seemed to be an opportunity, Feng Chengxuan cared very much about this matter, perhaps by admitting it, she could get a chance with him!
Nodding, though she already realized inwardly that her action was akin to lying, with a vague feeling inside, she wanted to seize it and sincerely said, "It was me, I was the one with you the whole night!"
It was perhaps the first time in her so many years of pride, telling a lie.
But that lie cast Feng Chengxuan’s gaze into hell, yet thrust her into heaven.
Soon, when the Li Family came to discuss marriage with the Feng Family again, Feng Chengxuan who used to refuse firmly would silently glance at her a few times, finally, with difficulty nodding his head, turned silently away, not seeing her again.
He must have been very lost and desperate, often standing in the garden, smoking one cigarette after another all afternoon, she could tell.
Yet the joy overwhelmed her entire mind.
Even facing Feng Chengxuan returning with red eyes, his face carrying a clear five-finger slap mark, locked in the room starting to drink heavily, she didn’t pay much attention.
Until they rushed to get engaged, until urged to get a marriage certificate.
That should have been the happiest yet most nerve-wracking days in Li Zixin’s memory, marrying Feng Chengxuan felt like a dream, she only told a small lie, not even knowing the reason. But he married her, and her dream came true.
But on the other hand, facing Feng Chengxuan who resolutely refused to share a room with her despite getting the marriage certificate, she was utterly perplexed.
In the flustered disputes, she finally understood the reason why Feng Chengxuan married her, as clever as she was, more fear and terror struck her, guessing who actually was with Feng Chengxuan!
