Chapter 1028 - 825: [Main Story] Brilliant as Starlight, Only Deep Affection Must Not Be Betrayed [77]
Li Zhi was unable to describe her feelings at this moment, glaring at Feng Chengxuan with hatred, she said, "We’ve lived together for a lifetime, must it be taken to such an excessive extent?"Unexpectedly, Feng Chengxuan sneered coldly, stepped forward and grabbed his jaw, saying, "Who’s really being excessive here? Li Zhi, these years of being my wife, while the third brother earned honors for the family and you became spoiled, have you started acting recklessly? Daring to hit the third brother’s wife? Do I need to remind you of past wrongs?"
Past wrongs?
Li Zhi didn’t know what past wrongs he meant.
However, the faint feeling and the longing written all over Feng Chengxuan’s eyes and presence told her something.
With a mocking smile, she leaned against the wall and slowly stood upright, saying, "The third brother’s wife cannot be hit? Didn’t you see her hitting me? And what are you trying to convey? Isn’t it just about the woman you’ve loved deeply and secretly for half a lifetime! What? Did the third brother’s wife help you find her? Or did she fail to find her, but prefers better men, and your third brother can’t satisfy her, so she plans to seduce you?"
That statement was too excessive!
Feng Chengxuan was furious to the extreme, unable to fathom how Li Zhi could be such a woman!
With a cold face, he turned his hand and delivered a slap to Li Zhi.
"What nonsense are you speaking! You don’t understand the relationship between the third brother and the third brother’s wife! Even you distort this?"
Li Zhi had been enraged by Feng Chengxuan’s defense of Qiu Zhixuan earlier, speaking carelessly, but she didn’t truly believe it.
However, feeling the slap’s sting on her face, her senses gradually returned.
As her face began to sting, the pain in her heart also rose, spitting venomous hatred like a snake.
Shouting angrily, she said, "Feng Chengxuan! You actually dared to hit me! You actually hit me! We’ve lived together for a lifetime, you’ve never hit me for anything before! I bore children for you, you always treated me with respect, we were the model couple in our circle! You’ve always been good to me, yet now you’d hit me for someone like Qiu Zhixuan? Do you know what she’s done? Do you know how many people hurt my family because of her instigation? I should hit her, you’re my family, how dare you hit me?"
"How dare I? Ha..." Feng Chengxuan chuckled lightly, looking at Li Zhi with her high and mighty demeanor, he suddenly felt the woman he lived with for twenty-six years was so unfamiliar.
It seemed that his past acts of compensation born from guilt were also a sort of transparent manipulation.
He gripped her chin again, still giving her a bit of dignity, pulled closer and said, "So, you think my constant courtesy, respect for you is because I care for you, like you? Sorry, Li Zhi, you should be well aware that I have never felt moved by you for even half a day; all my kindness to you stems only from one thing—the values instilled by our generation, that possessing a woman requires marital responsibility, taught by my parents, not because you moved me to make concessions, you know better than anyone how the children were conceived, now, without discussing anything else, I just ask you one question—Li Zhi, was the person who spent that night with me twenty-six years ago really you?"
A chilling tone as if from hell.
Facing the deep black eyes, Li Zhi suddenly realized, she perhaps never really knew that Feng Chengxuan had such a side, somewhat comparable to the third brother’s feelings during the years he lost Qiu Zhixuan!
Is this the hidden blood nature of the Feng Family, or had she been deceived by the family’s graceful exterior bound by etiquette?
But... her heart trembled.
Twenty-six years ago, those words hovered like a curse on her heart, the very thing she felt guiltiest and anxious about.
Now hearing Feng Chengxuan repeatedly say ’all my kindness to you stems only from one thing—the values instilled by our generation, occupying a woman should mean responsibility for marriage’!
Li Zhi’s mind became fearful, feeling a chill run through her spine; the very fear she dreaded most was realized...
Her eyelashes trembled, unsure how to respond for a moment, paused several times, finally looking at Feng Chengxuan’s eyes, firmly said, "Yes!"
