Chapter 1035 - 82: Brilliant Sparks—Only Deep Feelings Cannot Be Betrayed
Feng Chengxuan’s heart trembled slightly; he understood very well what Su Xin meant.Honestly, as long as he could get the court-mediated document now, even knowing that his divorce was well on its way, he would rush forward without any hesitation.
But now...
Thinking about the brief time, that unwillingness ultimately occupied most of the emotions in his heart.
He moved closer, pressed his cheek against hers, and kissed the side of her ear, saying, "Another day, I will be back soon."
This answer left Su Xin unable to refuse, yet within her, there sprouted an unspeakable pain and panic.
Finally, gazing at his chest, she pointed and said, "Then can you leave your shirt for me?"
Feng Chengxuan was momentarily stunned, puzzled as to why she wanted the shirt, but upon glancing at the fallen button on his chest, he faintly guessed her intention, smiled, and said, "Alright, I’ll go buy a shirt, and when I change into it, I’ll bring you back this one."
Su Xin nodded, and Feng Chengxuan left, smiling.
Going and coming back, he was swift; in just about 20 minutes, he headed downstairs, bought a cheap shirt with poor quality from a local supermarket, returned, wore it, and left his original one here.
Leaving was full of reluctance.
But seeing it was already nearing eleven-thirty, if he stayed longer, it would truly arouse suspicion. Feng Chengxuan paused, clenched his teeth, suppressed all desires within, smiled, kissed her hair, and turned to leave.
The room became empty upon his departure, save for the purple curtains and green plants complementing each other, momentarily easing one’s mood.
What remained more was solitude.
Shed of warmth, her skin started faintly cooling, as she held herself tighter, leaning against the bedpost, the sorrow felt like the days waiting for him, sitting from deep night till dawn repeatedly.
But this time, her heart hurt more!
That mysterious sixth sense began to surge aggressively; through observations over these days, she could tell Feng Chengxuan should love her deeply, including his uninhibited actions tonight, as words felt like being struck by lightning, realizing Feng Chengxuan’s love. Meanwhile, she pondered upon a question.
If he was truly so resolute about the divorce, and his relationship with Li Zhi wasn’t very good, why was the divorce so difficult? Moreover, Feng Chengxuan’s fatigue these days definitely wasn’t coming from Li Zhi.
Thus... children, when divorce once happens, it becomes the largest issue hovering between all parents, akin to a ticking bomb that detonates within her heart—
Feng Chengxuan couldn’t care about Li Zhi; hence the difficulty in divorce stemmed from him inevitably caring about those two children! There must be an issue with the children!
With a faint bitter smile at her lips, Su Xin understood the structure of marriage, and thus between her and Feng Chengxuan, without children as leverage, she couldn’t be optimistic.
And so, faced with the earlier demeanor of Feng Chengxuan, while knowing it bordered ethical edges, she still tried to retain him.
The result was disappointing...
Sitting in the desolate bedroom, Su Xin felt for the second time how distant marriage seemed from her.
Twenty-six years ago, she couldn’t win with children, and twenty-six years later, how could she win without them?
Her heart felt empty as if plummeting into an endless abyss, the weightlessness kept her from grasping even the tiniest chance of survival.
Indeed, facing tonight’s passion from Feng Chengxuan, she speculated, perhaps this was their last intimacy...
He couldn’t finalize the divorce, nor could he even if it did...
But with a trembling heart in pain, clutching the shirt tightly, she lamented—why was it that not even the last time could truly belong to her?
Tears cascaded down, dampening the shirt, soaking the duvet.
That night, Su Xin drifted into sleep amid tearful eyes, tears soaking an entire pillow.
In life, could it be that the potential last chance one envisioned must also be lost, struggling for it yet only watching regretfully as it brushes by?
Su Xin didn’t wish to complain; anyhow, on the path of love, whoever loves more, loses more completely.
And she had been the loser consistently...
Clinging tightly to the shirt, she inhaled the scent of his warmth, heart twisted in the most pain, drifting to sleep...
...
In the subsequent days at the Feng Family, indeed, the lights stayed ablaze each day, just as Su Xin suspected, the tension was palpable to the utmost.
In the middle of the living room, Feng Chengxuan stood coolly, confronting Li Zhi with hostility.
"You still refuse to sign the divorce agreement, don’t you?"
