Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me

Chapter 523: 【6/5 Update Explosion】2nd Update

Throwing away the last piece of letter paper stained on his fingertips, Feng Chengjin watched the flames fall onto the snow, becoming a puddle of black stains soaked by the snow.With a deeper self-mocking laugh, he said, "It’s useless, there are things between her and me that can’t go back, she won’t want to see them..."

Feng Chengjin fell silent and said nothing more.

After extinguishing the cigarette he’d finished, he lit a second one.

The disappointment allowed He Qimo to see a side of Feng Chengjin he’d never seen before, one so lacking in confidence.

His heart also ached uncontrollably for a moment!

He thought Gu Zixuan loved him enough, that after so many days, she should forgive him to some extent. These things weren’t necessary. But if Gu Zixuan loved her family more, then no matter how much he did, it would all be in vain?

He Qimo’s heart was stabbed with pain.

Having never seen this side of Feng Chengjin, seeing his self-mockery again...

His heart felt heavy, like he couldn’t breathe, regretting past events. As for Feng Chengjin’s words about someone misleading, he knew immediately who that bastard was! His inner rage rose rapidly.

Thinking Gu Zixuan must value love immensely, but without factual basis, if he spoke rashly, Feng Chengjin would take it as the kind of sympathy comfort akin to Qiu Yuan’s attitude, making it more painful, yet not knowing how to start speaking.

After a pause, Feng Chengjin asked after finishing the second cigarette, "By the way, what are you doing here so late?"

Remembering his purpose for coming, He Qimo suddenly frowns, reigning in his thoughts.

"Oh, just wanted to inform you all, Liang Shiman has been frequently out of control recently, I feel it’s not safe. Be wary that she doesn’t launch the biggest revenge after the fox dies."

Hearing this, Feng Chengjin was momentarily stunned.

Thinking of the woman they frequently interacted with not long ago.

Feng Chengjin didn’t think these words were alarmist.

He nodded, frowning, saying, "Alright, I’ll be careful and also add more people to follow her. I’ll protect the Gu Family."

After saying this, Feng Chengjin, whose rationality returned for a moment, put the ring into his jacket pocket and also put on his coat again amidst the swirling snow.

He made a gesture to leave.

No matter what, he would risk his life to protect Gu Zixuan’s heart, which touched He Qimo in that instant.

Just looking at his back covered in snow not yet brushed off before putting on his coat, He Qimo disapprovingly looked at him, "Your body..."

Feng Chengjin stood up, glancing sideways at He Qimo, slightly startled, understanding what He Qimo meant.

With a faint self-mocking smile at the corner of his lips, "Not that sickly, not to that extent."

He completely stood up, throwing out a sentence, "I’m leaving, please return the clothes to Aunt Qiu for me, thank her for her kindness. I’ll come back tomorrow morning."

Walking to the car, he opened the car door, started it, and drove away.

The blue chimney exhaust pipe emitted, leaving a long trail.

He Qimo once again felt heartbroken by Feng Chengjin’s rejection.

But, the bell has to be tied by the person who ties it, he’s not Gu Zixuan. Saying more, for Feng Chengjin who only wants Gu Zixuan’s answer, what’s the use?

A slight pause, in the somewhat frozen body, he stretched and stood up straight, glanced at the windowsill, and went upstairs.

However, neither He Qimo nor Feng Chengjin noticed.

Outside the cold Gu Family District.

Through the iron railings, a pair of sharp and cold eyes sneered at them.

Looking at the notes taken of Gu Zixuan’s outing times over these days.

Her lips curled coldly...

...

Upstairs, Gu Zixuan quietly watched through the curtain gap as Feng Chengjin’s tall figure left with slightly unsteady steps.

Got into the car, then after the car drove away.

Looking down at the calendar, she hadn’t paid attention to him for 23 full days. Counting from when she slapped him, it’s been 20 days.

The night before he went to Beijing seemed to have become a freeze-frame, recalling his gentle words, "Wait for me to come back."

Her lips were full of bitterness.

Perhaps he knew himself that he couldn’t wait?

That’s why he left so unconfidently before pulling the marriage certificate, why he hugged her for so long the day he left.

Then hearing behind her mother quietly say as she pushed open the door, "Zixuan, Qimo is here."

Her eyebrows and eyelashes drooped lower, thinking of the day she had dinner with He Qimo, seeing his good interaction with Shen Jian妮, felt comforted yet sadly smiled.

Then slowly pulled the curtains closed and walked out.

In the living room.

For He Qimo, who was still willing to meet with him, his heart was full of suspicion, feeling with Gu Zixuan’s personality of valuing love, it wouldn’t be like this towards Feng Chengjin.

He came up to inquire.

But, seeing she could still come out as usual, have a drink of water, chat with him.

Even took the initiative to care about how he’s been these days, busy or not?

He also started to become less sure about what Gu Zixuan was thinking?

Could it be that Feng Chengjin’s perception was not incorrect? Despite valuing love, Gu Zixuan values family more. Or perhaps she cares too much about love, that’s why she can’t forgive Feng Chengjin for deceiving her?

For a moment, He Qimo had never laughed so bitterly about his and Feng Chengjin’s different treatment...

After all, in the past eight years, he had countless times wished for Gu Zixuan to finally be nice to him, not bothering with Feng Chengjin?

But now that it really happened, he found that he wasn’t as happy, even felt a touch of heartache.

He pointed to the down jacket and spoke, "I went down to give it to him, he didn’t take it, he just sat there in his shirt until he put on his own coat to leave."

Deep inside Gu Zixuan’s heart, a tremor occurred, she calmly said, "Oh."

He Qimo pressed his lips together, "He has wounds on his temple, on his back, it’s clear he’s had a cold and fever, his body has a strong medicinal scent, he was coughing violently from time to time while talking to me."

Gu Zixuan’s heart trembled even more, she calmly said, "Oh."

"..." He Qimo was speechless, reaching out, he grasped Gu Zixuan’s hand, squeezing it in his palm, he asked, "Do you really not want him anymore? Zixuan, you even have a child together, and he’s sincerely come to apologize."
