Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me

Chapter 1043 - 836: Sparks Shine Bright, Only True Feelings Must Not Be Betrayed

In the Feng Family’s garden.Feng Chengjin quickly caught up, and called softly, "Miss Su."

Su Xin halted her steps. If it were anyone else, she wouldn’t have had to stop at all. But she thought of how, back when she used to come to the Feng Family, he would always quietly glance at her, then look at Feng Chengxuan, and with a faint smile turn away to leave some space for her and Feng Chengxuan. She thought of that Third Young Master who had frowned so deeply when Feng Jingguo introduced Li Zhi to Chengxuan back then.

Su Xin couldn’t just walk away.

Perhaps, if the Feng Family still had anyone left who could make her pause, it would only be Qiu Zhixuan, who had been willing to fall out with Li Zhi, yet still insisted on getting justice for her.

Feng Chengjin’s heart trembled slightly. He paused and said, "Miss Su, I’m really sorry. I don’t know how you ended up seeing something like that, but our family isn’t like this every day..."

Su Xin smiled and spoke lightly. "Third Young Master, don’t bother trying to hide it from me. Things have already come to this point—what difference does it make whether it’s like this every day or not? It’s fine, I can think it through. Besides, from the moment we met again this time, I hadn’t held out the slightest hope. What happened today, I could have guessed even without coming. And I think the time is about right too..."

His heart gave a heavy jolt. "Miss Su, you—"

Su Xin’s lips lifted slightly at the corners as she turned her gaze back.

Those autumn-tinted eyes looked especially soft and moving in the late spring light, clear and glistening, so that a single glance made it impossible not to be drawn in by the temperament within. If Qiu Zhixuan gave people the feeling of an opium poppy—once you’d come near, you’d never forget—then Su Xin was like a flower of forgetfulness that could quiet anyone’s heart.

Looking at Feng Chengjin, Su Xin said, "I’ve never felt that I could win in this matter. I couldn’t win twenty-six years ago, and I stand even less of a chance twenty-six years later. After all, the person Chengxuan met wasn’t just anyone, but a woman who was just as obsessively in love with him. I know you all feel quite sorry for me, but I don’t see it that way. Do you really think I only recently found out that I’d been deceived by Li Zhi?"

"Then you—" Feng Chengjin’s sharp eyes flickered, as if he suddenly understood something, and a sharp pain cut through his heart.

Su Xin’s smile grew more desolate; she turned her head aside. "After Chengxuan and Li Zhi got married twenty-six years ago, there was once when the two of them met, and Chengxuan’s attitude toward Li Zhi was very bad. Thinking about Chengxuan’s character, I knew then that I’d probably been tricked by Li Zhi."

Meeting Feng Chengjin’s trembling eyes, Su Xin went on, "But with the mistake already made, what could I do? I had no rightful name, no legitimate position. If I kept clinging on at that point, I’d have become the third party. And Li Zhi was pregnant at the time. If I tried to fight for anything, the Feng and Li families would inevitably be dragged to the forefront of public opinion. Our Su Family may be small, but whatever status and reputation we had would have been completely ruined as well. So the moment I heard the news, I quietly went to have an abortion. On the one hand, the environment back then simply didn’t allow any woman to have a child out of wedlock, and I didn’t have the courage to bring a child into the world under those circumstances. On the other hand... I hoped he could live peacefully, without my presence and disturbance, and quietly finish out this life."

"This..." Feng Chengjin had to admit, in that moment, his heart ached.

But Su Xin only seemed intent on making a person’s heart shatter completely as she kept smiling faintly. "In this life, there are some things we’re destined to miss. If you can hold on and the broken mirror is pieced back together, that’s wonderful. But if it can’t be restored—and will only end up smashed into even finer shards—then it’s better to let go. There’s no obstacle we can’t cross. Life isn’t only about romantic love; there’s family, friendship. It’s not as if losing love will crush a person to dust. I imagine your wife, Qiu Zhixuan, must understand this very well. Three years ago, when she was facing you lying on that hospital bed, I suppose she felt just as I do now."

"It’s not that she doesn’t love you, it’s just that compared to loving herself, she loves the other person more..."

"Don’t underestimate women. Sometimes a woman’s persistence and resilience are far stronger than you men imagine..."

"In the end, loving someone means wanting that person to live well. If he’s not living well, and your appearance is nothing but a disaster, if he suffers all kinds of torment and pain because of you, then watching him suffer hurts you even more than it hurts him. In that case, we’d rather be misunderstood, and wish we’d never appeared at all..."

Head turned away, a faint shimmer of tears in her eyes, Su Xin walked farther and farther as she spoke.

In front of the Feng Family’s lonely villa, what was reflected was also a pair of lovers, drawn ever farther apart by the chasm of time and mistakes.

Su Xin’s tears fell onto the lawn, soaking the entire world here.

When she returned to the car, she sat in the car Li Zhi had sent to pick her up and left once more.

As the engine started, she left her faint, quiet mood behind in the Feng Family Villa.

Before leaving, she had said one more thing to Feng Chengjin: "Third Young Master, if you can still think rationally for your eldest brother’s sake, and for the sake of the life Yu Xi has only just begun, then help me keep all of this from them. I’m already fifty; half my life has passed. Whether I’ll be alone from now on doesn’t matter much anymore."

In the end, the car drove away.

The hyacinths in the Feng Family bloomed, and the hyacinths in the Feng Family withered again.

In just two short months, it was like waking from a golden dream.

Su Xin’s appearance had so abruptly opened the door onto the Feng Family’s greatest grievance of the past twenty-six years, and her disappearance, just as abruptly, crushed their last bit of faith in a reunited family.

Feng Chengxuan’s life was all tragedy; perhaps, in the end, a story must hold both joy and sorrow to be called life.

At the same time, it proved the piece of wisdom Su Xin held in her heart: when two people are together, whoever loves more will lose to the very end.

Su Xin got married. Her husband was an Italian, and right after the wedding she immediately went abroad.

The proposal was held with great fanfare. Su Xin was one of Rong City’s rare unmarried, beautiful middle-aged women, an ice queen who had coldly rejected many suitors. That bearing of hers made her proposal ceremony stir up quite a sensation in Rong City. Everyone wanted to know how a woman who’d always said she wanted to remain childfree had suddenly decided to marry.

The wedding itself happened even faster.

When the invitation arrived at the Feng Family, it left them only two messages.

To the Feng Family, she wrote: I have never resented any person or event. In this life, what we gain and what we lose are all predestined. But those who have helped me, I will always remember in my heart. I’m sorry to have disturbed you these past days. I hope that after I leave, your Feng Family can return to its former peace. The old will, sooner or later, grow old; leave the younger generation a stretch of time in which they can continue to pursue happiness. We must live well, and live more earnestly and diligently. Only when the next generation sees the hardships of the previous one will they truly know how to cherish the days ahead. We Chinese have children and raise them; the meaning of inheritance lies precisely in this...

To Feng Chengxuan, she left a single line of seven words: Big Brother, I’m doing well, don’t worry...

In that instant, staring at the handwriting she had penned herself on the invitation—the words "Big Brother," and the marriage certificate she had sent him—Feng Chengxuan’s eyelashes trembled, and tears rolled down...
