Chapter 1024 - 74: Starlight Ablaze—Only True Love Cannot Be Forsaken
Mr. Feng’s action of holding her tightly in his arms frightened Chen Yiyue.Soon, his solid arms pressed tighter against her, pinning her waist firmly against his chest, sparking a difficult-to-describe tingling sensation in her heart...
Feng Chengxuan landed a kiss on her lips, recklessly and without hesitation.
However, due to him being still married at this moment, he couldn’t kiss her where he most desired, and could only rest his lips against her hair, inhaling the familiar scent that haunted him for half a lifetime.
This left him feeling extremely unsatisfied, yet unable to go deeper.
With trembling arms, he suppressed all his emotions as he said, "Xin’er, say whatever you want about me, curse me if you must. I just want to say, it’s so good to find you again, truly good. This time—I won’t let you slip out of my sight again."
His resolute words stirred Chen Yiyue’s heart, especially the tenderness from him after so many years, as if he still loved her.
As if they had crossed the rings of time, still deeply in love, like a young couple dating. He was still that person, and all the vows they once shared had not changed. She could still believe in his promise of ’I won’t marry anyone but you’.
But then she thought of his past ruthlessness, of what he and Li Zhi had done...
She laughed self-mockingly, her eyes reddened, and said softly, "So what if you’ve found me? To recognize me as a sister? To be friends? Sorry, Mr. Feng, I’m not interested in any of that now. I think it’s fine for us to remain strangers all our lives. You should go..."
Finally, she tried hard to push his body away.
Her despair made Feng Chengxuan feel even more pain, especially the indifference and calmness in her eyes at this moment.
Yet her strength was nothing compared to his determination—it was like trying to shake a tree!
She didn’t manage to push him away even an inch, and he exerted more force with his arm, pulling her back into his embrace, saying, "Xin’er, I searched for you for so long, how could I leave again? Please trust me once more this time. I don’t just want to be friends with you..."
"Then what can you do? Are you planning to marry me?" Chen Yiyue swung his arm away when he tried to grip her shoulders, growing more furious.
Feng Chengxuan paused, looked deeply at her, and said, "Yes, should we become husband and wife?"
Husband and wife?
As he spoke these words, it was undoubtedly the truest and most desired thing in Feng Chengxuan’s heart at that moment!
Twenty-six years! Seeing her moist, reddened eyes, thinking of the woman who should have been his wife, with whom he once had a child, Feng Chengxuan felt this was the only way to mend everything! Only divorcing that maddened woman could repair everything!
This statement was like a bolt of lightning that stunned Chen Yiyue.
But soon after she recovered, she fell into a deeper despair, the grievances of twenty-six years exploding completely.
Tears flowed in her eyes, she struggled and shouted, "Feng Chengxuan! Aren’t you being too manipulative? Twenty-six years ago, you turned me from the rightful partner into the third party, and now, twenty-six years later, you want me to be your mistress, your lover? What did you learn all these years? Is the custom of the rich to keep mistresses the most admired and pursued lifestyle for you?"
Mistress?
Feng Chengxuan was also struck by lightning, his eyes trembling in confusion, completely unable to understand why she thought like this?
But looking at Chen Yiyue’s angry struggle, he realized that there were far too many misunderstandings between them, spanning twenty-six years, reducing his credibility to zero, making many things impossible to explain clearly. Even if he wanted to explain, he’d have to wait until her emotions settled to discuss it further.
Unable to express more, unable to speak, leaving the causality unresolved over twenty-six years.
He could only hold her tightly at this moment, preventing her from moving, saying, "No, Xin’er, believe me, it’s not like that. Give me some time and I’ll explain everything to you. For now, don’t move, we just met. I can barely contain my emotions myself, let me quietly hold you for a bit, I..."
Feng Chengxuan didn’t finish the latter half of the sentence, finding it difficult to say—
But Chen Yiyue, who was struggling fiercely, had already understood something.
With their eyes meeting, Chen Yiyue said, "You..."
Feeling embarrassed, Feng Chengxuan forced a smile, suppressing the restless fire inside and the heat rising up his cheeks, lowered his head, "Don’t move, let me hold you quietly for a while."
Chen Yiyue felt chaotic!
Facing such a situation at this moment, she truly didn’t know whether to be furious or blush!
But there was no way around it; any man, facing the woman he loves, can hardly control this impulse, which is human nature.
He didn’t want it to be this way. He simply wanted to hold her tightly at this moment, until he had enough of holding the Xiangsi that had been absent for twenty-six years.
