Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 538: [June 5th Update] 17th Update

However, once rationale returned, both of them understood that at this moment, nothing could be done.

Qiu Mingyan, recovering his senses, felt slightly embarrassed and blushed.

Uncomfortably, he avoided looking at Feng Chengyue, released his grip, rubbed his nose, and turned his face to the side. By feel, he helped Feng Chengyue button up her clothes, "Sorry, I...I didn’t mean it."

For a moment, Feng Chengyue, despite her deep sadness, was somewhat amused.

She curled her lips, knowing that they couldn’t do anything at this moment; there wasn’t enough time, and the mood didn’t permit it. But...facing this Qiu Mingyan, this Qiu Mingyan who had become increasingly proactive after daring to confront his feelings, Feng Chengyue, aside from feeling happy inside, was even more profoundly smiling as she felt his clean palm helping her button her clothes one by one.

The subtle smile was very charming, especially accompanied by her long, jet-black hair.

It made Qiu Mingyan, collecting his thoughts, recall previous affairs and forced himself to return to rationale.

With an awkward smile, he said, "You won’t blame me for showing them a bad face earlier?"

Feng Chengyue was stunned for a second, then smiled and shook her head, wrapping her hands around Qiu Mingyan’s waist again. She nestled her head in, "Of course not, I understand what you’re thinking, Mingyan. You’re actually a very pure-hearted person. Having just witnessed such a touching scene in the operating room, you wish Gu Zixuan could immediately see my brother, to awaken his consciousness. How could you withstand our family’s obstruction? Naturally, you were angry with them, right? But it’s okay; they are all good people; it’s just that right now, both my brother and father are in trouble and they can’t accept it emotionally. Once they get over it, things will be okay."

Feng Chengyue was defending her family.

Qiu Mingyan looked at Feng Chengyue, knowing she was telling the truth; he naturally knew the Feng Family wasn’t that bad.

And her understanding of him moved him deeply.

However, when he recalled Gu Zixuan being slapped hard, Ye Xilan’s dissatisfaction with Gu Zixuan, and the scene in the operating room with the weak Feng Chengjin, he wanted to ask.

Are your family really that good? No matter how angry, wouldn’t they respect what their son truly wants?

If in the future we swapped roles, with you and me, would we also...

However, despite having countless questions, looking at Feng Chengyue’s sincere eyes, Qiu Mingyan couldn’t bring himself to ask.

Besides, thinking of the situation he couldn’t express...

With a bitter smile in his heart, he whispered to himself.

What "we" do we have? Forget it, Qiu Mingyan, isn’t it enough to have a romance? Are you dreaming of marrying Feng Chengyue?

Let it be.

So, in the end, he just smiled, leaned towards Feng Chengyue’s forehead, gave a light kiss, and said, "Okay, as long as you’re not angry."

No more questions.

Thoughtfully, Feng Chengyue finally showed a slight smile, nestled closer into his embrace on this bitter day.

Qiu Mingyan held Feng Chengyue; after an exhausting surgery, this feeling was warm, fulfilling.

...

The days that followed.

Entered into a life completely unsurprising yet expected.

Feng Jingguo waking before Feng Chengjin had already become an indisputable fact.

On the seventh day of the new year, Feng Jingguo woke up.

The situation with Feng Jingguo was both good and bad; after all, it was a brain hemorrhage, so even though the surgery was now quite advanced domestically, avoiding anger or agitation remained fundamental for recovery.

Therefore, upon hearing about his son’s condition, the furious Feng Jingguo not only refused to let Gu Zixuan have any opportunity to see Feng Chengjin in the intensive care unit but was also so angry that he banned Gu Zixuan from even entering the hospital’s inpatient department!

The Southern Fourth Hospital was funded by the old Mr. Feng Shixing, so even though Gu Qingfeng had some influence in Rong City, this incident did not lead to any investigation affecting Gu Qingfeng’s career. Although he was temporarily suspended, his basic rank remained.

But facing the Feng Family, with its closer ties to the Southern Fourth Hospital, the most prestigious family in Rong City, it was futile.

Within the hospital, efforts began focusing on Feng Jingguo’s emotional well-being, often blocking Gu Zixuan from having any chance of seeing Feng Chengjin.

This year’s weather in Rong City was unusually cold.

It never snowed in previous years, but this year the rain and snow kept coming.

Thus, every day Gu Zixuan came, she couldn’t even enter the inpatient building, just stood there in the freezing cold environment, her entire body chilled to the bone.

She was so cold that her whole body shivered, making those around her unable to bear it.

But despite this, she persisted in coming every day.

Because, whether it was to evoke sympathy or hope for some leniency from the Feng Family, occasionally a few doctors or nurses, unable to bear seeing her blocked, would sympathetically inform her of Feng Chengjin’s condition while barring her entry.

It was Feng Chengyue who had the most private interactions with her, occasionally passing on updates to her, even getting scolded by Ye Xilan when caught.

Later on, Qiu Mingyan would occasionally help pass on updates to her.

The New Year in Rong City unfolded in such a hopeless atmosphere, slowly passing by.

He Qimo came by, Yu Yuanshen came by, and every time they saw her standing quietly outside the inpatient department, they almost wanted to confront the Feng Family, yet thinking of Feng Jingguo’s condition, Gu Zixuan each time stopped them.

Facing her perseverance.

Yu Yuanshen and He Qimo were puzzled, "You have a child, what are you afraid of? At this point, are you still worried that the Feng Family won’t acknowledge this child?"

Gu Zixuan gave a faint smile, saying, "I am really afraid they won’t acknowledge it. The baby isn’t quite three months yet; what if they refuse?"

Instantly, Yu Yuanshen and He Qimo were speechless.

After all, with such deep animosity already planted, even if the Feng Family acknowledges the child, it might only want the child, not the mother.

In such a case, while enduring the pain of losing Feng Chengjin, would Gu Zixuan also have to endure losing the child?

But if they don’t acknowledge... thinking of the words from Mrs. Feng that day, words that had been so humiliating to Zixuan, if even the child was scorned by the Feng Family, becoming a synonym for "scheming, manipulating, plotting."
