Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 549: V423: Feng Chengjin looked around and asked, "Where is Zixuan?
Everywhere he looked, there were doctors, nurses, and some family members.
Of course, people from the company like Ding Hui and Yun Fan were also there.
At the forefront were Ye Xilan’s tear-filled eyes.
He saw this and lightly furrowed his brow, saying, "Mom..."
"Yes." Hearing Feng Chengjin finally call her, Ye Xilan was indescribably excited. Knowing that in the past month, watching Feng Chengjin silently lying there, as a mother, her heart was shattered, wishing it was her lying there, enduring the pain, almost dying.
She moved forward swiftly and asked, "Does it hurt? Is your head dizzy? Do you want water? Do you recognize anyone else besides Mom? Do you remember everything?"
Feng Chengjin naturally recognized everyone and remembered everything.
As for why Ye Xilan asked him that, he understood.
Because just a few days ago, he had already regained some consciousness and hearing at times.
But the chaos in his mind often left him thinking about outer space one moment, mechanical armor the next, then overseas visits, and even fighting with sharks while drowning.
Of course, there were also the repeated sounds of brakes colliding.
When Qiu Mingyan spoke to him, he was aware and could hear, but he couldn’t think too much and was mostly just tired.
He may have opened his eyes, but he could sense his gaze was unfocused at that time.
Furthermore, he vaguely remembered Qiu Mingyan showing him fingers, asking him to do double-digit arithmetic.
But all he wanted then was to sleep, or his thoughts were drifting beyond his control. Even when awake, it felt like a half-dreaming state, he didn’t know what he answered.
Until who knows how long ago, Qiu Mingyan had a nurse inject some medication, comforting his heart. This time, he slept peacefully, like completing a long dream, slowly waking up.
Now, looking at the people present, he nodded, "I recognize everyone."
Then he paused and, facing a very unfamiliar young nurse, hesitantly asked, "Do you know who I am?"
Feng Chengjin looked for a while, smiled, and said, "I know, you’re the dedicated nurse Little Chu at Qiu Mingyan’s front desk, employee number 87223."
In an instant, seeing him remember even such an unfamiliar person and their clear employee number without mistake.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, believing what Qiu Mingyan said—that he might be one of the few with a 20% chance of fully recovering, and with good care, he could completely heal, even making them a bit inexplicably excited.
However, no matter how intense the joy of reunion was a moment ago, what needed to be faced still had to be faced.
Because, the moment after being confirmed, Feng Chengjin began to gently turn his head, looking around...
The look of anticipation and searching made everyone realize something, and a heavy feeling descended, as the tearing reality and pain were injected into everyone’s heart.
In confusion, everyone silently asked themselves, God, isn’t the torment enough? Why let him wake up remembering everything?
After circling once, Feng Chengjin asked, "Where is Zixuan?"
In an instant, everyone’s heart ached, unable to speak.
Ye Xilan’s felt like a dream retreating with the tide, slowly darkening...
...Red-Sleeve-Added-Fragrance-Exclusive-Divider...
Ten minutes later, Feng Chengjin was propped up to sit, silently watching all the doctors and nurses, including Ding Hui and the others, exit the room.
In the ward, only his mother remained.
He raised his eyes to look at her, without speaking.
Ye Xilan was also at a loss for words for what she was about to say.
But there was no choice; Gu Zixuan was already gone, and no amount of searching could find her... and her son, after this year, in three or four months, would turn thirty-five.
At thirty-five, if they couldn’t find Gu Zixuan then what? What if they never find her in his lifetime?
Feng Chengxuan’s past with that Su Xin, she wasn’t unaware, nor was she blind to her eldest son’s continuous search for Su Xin, a search lasting twenty-five years.
If they couldn’t find Su Xin, could they find Gu Zixuan?
Ye Xilan dared not hope.
In the quiet ward, enduring her son’s gaze and scrutiny, she silently recited a phrase in her heart.
There’s no other way, just let it be, since when Gu Zixuan left, she must have done so with this in mind. For her son’s health, and for him to move on from this impossible relationship sooner.
She surely hoped Chengjin would forget her and live well, so just proceed this way.
So, slowly bringing over the flower box left by Gu Zixuan from the windowsill, Ye Xilan paused and said, "She left."
"What do you mean by ’left’?"
Feng Chengjin glanced at the flower box of eternal flowers. Next to it, in a sealed plastic bag, were the bank card he gave her, the car keys for the car he bought her, the keys to the villa, the apartment keys, and a series of other items.
He saw them, but pretended not to, his eyelashes quivered slightly, and he ignored it.
After looking at him, Ye Xilan said, "Well, she said she doesn’t want to forgive you. She asked you to take good care of yourself..."
In an instant, Feng Chengjin sneered.
Whether it was mockery or self-mockery, he could hardly tell, but it was extremely complex, leaving Ye Xilan bewildered.
However, Feng Chengjin didn’t seem to intend to explain; he just tilted his head and lowered it slightly.
He said, "Did she really say that?"
Ye Xilan didn’t know how to answer, so she gave a slight nod and murmured, "Yes."
Pausing, Feng Chengjin didn’t have much of a reaction; he only sat on the hospital bed for a little while before throwing off the covers and trying to get out of bed on his own.
Feng Chengjin’s left calf was fractured; although Qiu Mingyan had set the bone, and it had healed remarkably quickly in the past month, it didn’t mean it wasn’t painful or that he could walk now.
So, Ye Xilan’s face turned pale in an instant, and she raised her voice, "Cheng Jin, what are you doing?"
Putting down the flower box, Ye Xilan rushed over recklessly, wanting to help him back to bed to rest. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
But this time, Feng Chengjin gently pushed her away, "Nothing. Since you don’t want to tell the truth, I’ll go ask her myself."
His reckless words made Ye Xilan’s heart tremble more than a drum, even though some things from eight years ago were replaying.
Ye Xilan knew such a scene would come, but she didn’t know it would happen so absurdly.
Does he not even believe this sentence?
Ye Xilan could only once again lightly block Feng Chengjin’s way, saying, "Cheng Jin, Mom is telling the truth. Look, these items are all things she left behind, things you recognize. If she didn’t intend to do this, she wouldn’t have returned them to you. And she personally left those words; you recognize her handwriting. You should..."
However, before she could finish, Feng Chengjin angrily pushed away the arm his mother used to block him.
He shouted loudly, "How do I know if you saw me injured, forced her, blamed her, and finally made her write this in leaving me! Who knows if those things were forcibly taken or if she returned them willingly!"
Feng Chengjin’s rage sent a tremor through everyone outside the door.
Tears welled up in their eyes, a sense of unspoken sadness; in such a situation, is this still Feng Chengjin’s first thought?
His feelings for Gu Zixuan are really too...
Everyone was choked with emotion, unable to speak.
Inside, Ye Xilan was shaking her head, "But if she hadn’t refused on her own, how would we know what happened between you, or about forgiveness? Cheng Jin, for you to be like this, why would Mom deceive you? I know she’s left and won’t forgive you, and you’re very upset, but your health is like this, you still have your parents, your family. Your father had a stroke and is in the hospital because of what happened to you. Do you really not want to..."
"I don’t want to!"
The brief words interrupted Ye Xilan’s astonishment.
In that moment, Feng Chengjin’s powerful, awe-inspiring intelligence returned intact, "I don’t know if my dad is really in trouble, but even if he was, he should be fine now. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be waiting with all the doctors in my ward for me to wake up, nor would you tell me without a trace of complaint that Gu Zixuan left. Based on your and my dad’s temper, you’d wish to kill her immediately, right?"
In an instant, he faced Ye Xilan’s slightly trembling disbelief.
He paused, then Feng Chengjin turned his head, "So, don’t say I don’t believe your words. After what happened to me, I don’t believe anyone’s words... In that case, I’ll find her myself and wait for her to admit it to me in person."
With that,
Feng Chengjin completely pushed aside his mother Ye Xilan, who was blocking him.
He began to support his leg in excruciating pain and his throbbing head, leaning against the wall to slowly make his way out the door.
Such determination, such stubbornness, reminded people of Gu Zixuan who kept coming like this day after day.
It was like witnessing a modern-day Romeo and Juliet.
But... is it worth it?
The body is like this, life had just come back...
Every doctor and nurse looked on with reluctance at this scene.
Feng Chengjin, as he turned and moved, was using his actions to show what some love compared to life, what was more important.
What truly crushes the mind, makes life unbearable.
Thus, his forehead was sweating, his leg was trembling, his body was pressing forward, his eyes were wet and red...
