Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 603: V473: Feng: "I naturally defend my own shortcomings, this point follows you..." 2000
When Feng Chengjin left, he didn’t know what had happened to the Feng Family.
He just sat in the backseat of the car driven by Xiao Zuo, looking at the sky in Rong City, his brows deeply furrowed.
Finally reaching this point, he didn’t feel much pain from the rift and breakup with his family, rather he felt like a heavy burden in his heart had been lifted.
As the car made a turn, he paused for a moment, then spoke, "Let’s go to the cemetery."
Xiao Zuo hesitated for a moment, then drove towards the cemetery.
By the time they arrived, the sky was already completely dark.
However, there were street lamps in the cemetery, their white light shining on the ground, making the green grass seem not so lonely and cold.
Besides, perhaps because Qingming Festival had just passed recently, people were still coming to pay their respects one after another.
As he walked along, the graves were adorned with flowers meant for tomb sweeping.
Feng Chengjin also carried a bouquet in his arms, and stood still, looking deep and long.
Kneeling down, as he placed a large bouquet of yellow and white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone, he gazed at the words on the tombstone and slowly said: "Grandpa, I’m sorry, I still didn’t listen to you and have reached this point."
He thought of his grandfather, on his deathbed, with an oxygen tube in his nose, clutching his hand, expressing a few words with frustration, "Chengjin, remember this, you must bring down that boy Gu Qingfeng for your grandpa, all these years of calling him Uncle Gu has been nothing but blind subjugation. Also, you must never again be obsessed with that girl, forget her. You deserve more and better women to like you, do you hear me?"
He remained silent.
Grandpa, holding his hand tightly for the last time, said: "This is my last wish, I just hope you can be happy, is this too much to ask?"
At that time, Feng Shixing was physically exhausted to an extreme, only a pair of hopeful dark eyes remained.
His frequent coughing made others feel heartbroken.
In their final exchange of glances, he could only nod with difficulty, "Alright, I promise."
Afterwards, grandpa seemed to slowly fall asleep as if in relief, and never woke again...
And he could only start to take action against Gu Qingfeng at the beginning of the fourth year, also trying to forget Zixuan.
The process was undoubtedly painful.
Not to mention that taking action against someone he had called Uncle Gu for half his life and had a good relationship with was heartbreaking.
On the very first day of action, he realized that he would never have a chance with Zixuan again in this lifetime.
Whether her marriage was going well or not, or whether she ever took his letter and proposal seriously, it didn’t matter between them anymore.
He began learning to forget, going on blind dates, meeting other women, knowing that in this lifetime he could never face a woman whose family he had personally destroyed, nor could he ever bring such a woman home.
Until he met her again.
On that day, drunk and crying uncontrollably, she leaned on his shoulder and asked him that question, ’Do you or do you not like me?’...
He didn’t know who that question was really for, could only smile bitterly inside, and silently answered, ’Like.’
Then glanced at the wedding ring on her hand, averting his eyes.
And at this moment...
Feeling the warmth of the marriage certificate in his pocket, then looking at the cold tombstone, Feng Chengjin’s eyes revealed a bittersweet smile, his hand brushing the stone wall, he slowly said: "Grandpa, don’t blame me, I really can’t let go of her, no matter how many times she hurt me, how many decisions she made that pained me, as long as I see her for the first time, as long as she’s single, if she wants me, I can’t help but want to be with her. I think I liked her from the first moment I saw her. Whether you believe it or not, she truly was the first person in my life who made me realize that a woman could be more interesting than work."
"So... sorry, I ultimately didn’t follow your advice, but I know you’d forgive me because you truly cared for me and wished for my happiness. I am very happy now, because the happiest thing in life is when the person I like also happens to like me. Grandpa, this may sound ridiculous, but all that stood between us was a misunderstanding, she loves me, only by some twist of fate did things end up this way. So I’ve let go, you can rest in peace now. The only regret is that this journey took ten years, never having the chance to bring her along to serve tea and bow to you... But I will try my best to give you a great-grandson, by then, for the sake of your great-grandson, forgive Chengjin for all his recklessness today... If... you still want to blame anyone, just blame me, not her. I’m born to defend my own, this trait is like yours..."
At the end of his words, Feng Chengjin laughed, a gentle and indulgent laugh, like a natural disposition shared by grandfather and grandson.
Thinking back to when Feng Chengjin was born, Feng Shixing often taught lessons to Feng Jingguo, to the point of almost constantly scolding his son and pampering his grandson.
Feng Jingguo was filial, taking Feng Shixing’s words as principles and goals, placing the highest hopes on Feng Chengjin, never daring to utter a word more.
But Feng Chengjin somehow understood Feng Shixing’s true nature very well.
Feng Chengjin always felt that what grandfather truly wanted back then was for him to be happy, wasn’t it?
Grandpa wasn’t a vengeful person, and neither was he.
He was someone who could easily forgive others as long as they could change, he thought... grandfather probably would too.
The night was deep and long.
So that night, Feng Chengjin stayed in front of the tombstone for a long, long time.
Until before leaving, he saw a bouquet of relatively fresh flowers.
Feng Chengjin frowned.
The Feng Family usually gathered during the Qingming Festival for tomb sweeping, a strict tradition, and this year both he and Zhi Xuan were not here. He had just come back to Rong City, so who would have come to pay respects to grandpa during this gap?
Feng Chengjin was puzzled, glancing around, and took another look at the white lilies the other person sent.
Frowning as he left.
Not far away, Xiao Zuo had been following Feng Chengjin back and forth all night, with Qin Nuo not around, he naturally followed him closely, so in this quiet night, he vaguely heard much of what the president said to grandpa.
To be honest, it was his first time seeing the stunningly beautiful woman the president had brought back this time, he was shocked, he couldn’t believe there was someone more visually compatible with the president from just appearance alone.
Miss Qi was already very beautiful, but standing next to the president always seemed somewhat mismatched.
Of course, the other shock was because he felt like he had seen this woman’s silhouette two years ago, not sure if his memory was off, he remembered he seemed to have had something, went to find his mother at her office.
His mother was consulting a female patient, whose silhouette was breathtaking, except the hair length and aura didn’t quite match...
The result diagnosed by his mom for that female patient at the time was—ectopic pregnancy?
