Chapter 1023 - 73: Brilliance of Starlight, Only Deep Affection Cannot Be Betrayed
For a moment, shock, horror, anger, joy, despair, pain and various emotions assaulted Feng Chengxuan’s mind.With Qiu Zhixuan’s clearer narration, Feng Chengxuan understood those scenes of the past.
It turned out the person who accompanied him that night was Su Xin, not Li Zhi.
He was puzzled, wondering why in that intoxicated dreamlike night, the voice he heard was almost all Su Xin’s. When he woke up and saw Li Zhi, he thought he loved Su Xin so much that he heard incorrectly.
And then, he realized that because he believed he had slept with Li Zhi, he was forced into a marriage—
A farce! A complete farce!
Anger and pain burned simultaneously, tormenting his heart like a cauldron of boiling oil.
Feng Chengxuan’s eyes burned.
Qiu Zhixuan frowned slightly, gently clasping her slender jade fingers, and continued, "Big Brother, I don’t know what you’re thinking now, after all, you have children and are about to have grandchildren, and overall, your family is happy and complete. Maybe for you, at fifty-four, love is no longer the most important thing, but..."
Qiu Zhixuan paused, "She has remained unmarried, waiting for you all her life..."
A simple sentence thoroughly moistened both of their eyes.
Child... his first child, unknown to him, could only perish because of deception.
Su Xin... the woman he loved for half his life and was unknowingly cast out as a mistress.
Most importantly, the remark about being unmarried, waiting for him...
The air freezes, time stands still.
Qiu Zhixuan feels anxious as amidst middle-aged reflection, balancing formed children with past love becomes difficult.
Feng Chengxuan could no longer hide the hot tears in his eyes and his surging emotions.
He paused even before saying another sentence to Qiu Zhixuan, turned, grabbed the car keys, and rushed out half stumbling.
This disregard for image made Qiu Zhixuan’s heart tremble, seemingly understanding something.
Especially, within a few minutes of Feng Chengxuan going downstairs, as the car engine sound arose in the villa parking area, Qiu Zhixuan’s phone rang.
Qiu Zhixuan connected the call; Feng Chengxuan’s trembling voice came, "Chen... Chen Yiyue, right?"
Qiu Zhixuan’s heart settled heavily; she nodded, softly saying, "Mm."
Letting Feng Chengxuan, with tears, press the accelerator, rushing out of Feng Family Villa!
Such fervor— is humanity’s most beautiful emotion, love.
Love is like water, it is also fire, like mist, and also like wind, but no matter how it manifests, as long as you believe, it certainly existed.
No matter the age, everyone facing love becomes madly infatuated!
Standing by the glass window, Qiu Zhixuan seemed to envision himself once, first marrying in the United States, Feng Chengjin rushing madly from Feng Family, then reversing, thinking of despair hearing Feng Chengjin’s engagement in Beijing.
She smiled faintly at the corners of her lips...
...
In the car.
Feng Chengxuan’s entire body trembled.
Chen Yiyue, Chen Yiyue, turned out to be Chen Yiyue!
The Heart Benefit Charity Foundation’s never publicly exposed president!
He had heard but never interacted or tried to meet.
Thinking back to the pot of flowers she sent to the hospital, which felt familiar, then remembered the sister-in-law’s charitable gala mishap night three years ago, the strange perceived figure, and finally recalling the day at the hospital during Heart Benefit Charity Foundation’s event.
How can he be so foolish!
Angrily he smacked the horn, causing a layer of empty echo on the road.
The hot tears he held fell with his body’s tremor.
Inside, at this moment, certainly there’s boundless anger and impulse to tear someone apart, but facing a woman unseen for twenty-six years, he knows what he most needs to do—
The speed increases crazily.
He is racing madly towards Heart Benefit Charity Foundation’s headquarters.
...
"Screech!" A heavy, almost drifting brake stop at Heart Benefit Charity Foundation’s courtyard.
At this somewhat remote location past the third ring of the city center, Chen Yiyue was reviewing the latest list of donated educational supplies for the Western Hope Elementary School.
Their small building is only three floors, the environment serene.
Her office on the third floor houses several flowers and plants, her career now fairly well off, yet far from Feng Family’s tier, despite lifelong endeavors it remains tens of thousands of miles away.
Recalling the night when Zhi Xuan inexplicably came to talk, these days she’s slightly tortured by uncontrolled thoughts.
This leaves her troubled.
Rubbing her brows, Chen Yiyue lowers her head, concentrating on the watch.
She paid little mind to the shock, chaos by other staff downstairs, stunned at the luxury car suddenly appearing at their foundation.
Two minutes later, accompanied by an unsolicited door swing open with a bang.
She raised her eyes.
Four eyes meet, she gazed at the man appearing like a lifetime ago, her eyelashes slightly trembling—
The staff hurried in behind, nervously reporting, "Sorry, President, this gentleman just came up without going through our notice..."
Mid-sentence, noticing the peculiar atmosphere inside, the staff fell silent.
After pausing, the staff sensed the odd atmosphere, closed the door and left.
With only abundant fragrance left in the room, and their shallow figures inside.
Chen Yiyue clenched her fists, with trembling gaze, "Why are you here?"
Good, at least, after twenty-six years, Xin’er seeing him for the first time wouldn’t ask, "Who are you"...
Feng Chengxuan’s heart trembles like a sea, eyes moist like springs, he paused, barely choking out, "... to see you."
In a moment, Chen Yiyue lightly laughed.
Thinking of her current predicament, her unhopeful tearful self-mockery, "See your sister not seen for twenty-six years?"
Saying this, she stood to pack her things, intent on leaving.
Feng Chengxuan deeply hurt by the remark, particularly thinking of his past misconceptions, the words he once told her.
Stepping forward, his eyes turned redder, he said, "I’m sorry, Xin’er, I didn’t know about the past..."
Yet, Chen Yiyue suddenly burst.
Throwing papers she never randomly threw before, transforming the gentleness and elegance of the past.
All thrown at Feng Chengxuan, she tearfully roared, "Twenty-six years ago you didn’t know, then let it remain unknown for a lifetime! Feng Chengxuan! You shamed me for twenty-six years! Now you have family and children, do you want to mock my once decade-long stupid crush, witness my blindness and failure?"
Tearful sobs accompanied with trembling, her body struggled to produce the tearful glow.
She couldn’t comprehend, feeling deeply ashamed at this moment, truly what she tried hiding remained unsuppressed.
She had nothing else to care about now.
Living old enough, should-be and shouldn’t-be love no longer exists; besides repairing her soul daily, creating meaningful work, abandoning past rejection pain, what more could she do?
She could even, without holding grudges, check his troubled son’s wellbeing.
Unfortunately, ultimate calm was breached, Feng Chengxuan’s appearance brought her embarrassing memories to surface, recalling those once profound hopeless moments, she felt breathing near him was painful to extreme.
As they locked eyes, she with sobbing pauses uttered, "Do you realize saying to a woman who loved you for a decade, ’I’ll treat you like a sister henceforth’ is such severe torment?"
Feng Chengxuan understood, even past certain things, having said that, repeated searches for her, the pain was like cutting flesh from his heart each night.
Thus for him, how much more for the woman who loved him dearly?
However...
No matter Xin’er’s grievances towards him today, he knew his appearance’s significance.
Hence, facing Chen Yiyue’s words, wiping tears, proceeding to leave quickly, he stepped forth, grabbing her...
