Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 627: V497: The grand finale’s concluding episode 3.

In an instant.

Feng Chengyue turned her head away in pain.

Without saying a word, and with water splashed everywhere, soaking her dress, Qiu Mingyan glanced at her and quickly lifted her dress to wring out the water.

What couldn’t be wrung out and trickled down her calves, he carefully wiped with tissues from his pocket.

This action caused Feng Chengyue immense pain.

After a pause, her blue-tinted lips trembled.

When Qiu Mingyan had finished dealing with the water and was about to sit back, she suddenly turned, hugged Qiu Mingyan’s chest, and cried bitterly, "Mingyan, why do you treat me like this? Why say these things to me? You obviously like me, you clearly can’t let me go, you clearly care for me and cherish me, you know the one I like is you. I’ve already been trying to persuade my family, can’t you give me a little more time? Why do you have to give up first? I don’t care if you really have a fiancée or not, even if you do, aren’t you still not married? Why can’t you marry me?"

In an instant, Feng Chengyue’s tears flowed more than spring water.

They soaked Qiu Mingyan’s shirt, and made his heart shudder, causing him to hold her bitterly, like he did in the past when he’d support her emotions, he laughed, "Sorry, it was my fault not telling you sooner, letting you hold on to the fantasy of marriage. But I can’t marry you, I have to go back and marry, and I must go back because of a debt I can’t avoid."

"A debt?" Feng Chengyue’s tears fell, amidst her heartache, there was more confusion.

Qiu Mingyan, while pulling away a bit, gently wiped the tears from her face and said with the most bittersweet smile, "I’m a phoenix man, Yu Yu. Look at those students on the playground. They have the time and mood to play basketball at night, and can buy various drinks. But when I was a kid, I couldn’t even afford tuition or normal schooling costs, I couldn’t afford the time to play basketball. I had to spend every single moment either picking up trash to sell for living expenses or barely scraping together tuition fees. I am the only university student funded by our whole village. The first tuition for college was paid by our village chief by selling the only ox in the village, and the village also pooled a full year’s savings, and he even sold his own blood, to get enough. At that time, the village chief only asked two things of me: one, after graduation, return to open a clinic and repay the village’s kindness; two, to marry his daughter."

"So... is that why you haven’t dated anyone for all these years?" Feng Chengyue choked up, as if she understood something.

Qiu Mingyan just laughed and pulled her hand to his palm.

Even while saying the most painful words of separating and leaving, they sounded calm and composed.

He caressed those slender, well-kept fingers, nodding, "Yes, on one hand, I couldn’t start a relationship, and on the other, I couldn’t afford it. Yu Yu, I can be honest with you, even though I know I must marry someone else in the future, I could still try to love someone while at school, for the sake of having a bit of memory and experiencing what free love is like. But the biggest reason I didn’t pursue was because of poverty, truly too poor, dating is too expensive, I couldn’t afford it."

Feng Chengyue’s tears stopped at the corners of her eyes, unable to speak.

Qiu Mingyan continued, "My father is a paraplegic. When I was young, to pay for my tuition, he went up the mountains to try to find some ginseng that could sell but fell down, broke his leg, and during a time when medical technology was poor, and every household in our village was too poor, there was no way. His legs rotted terribly, and they both had to be amputated."

"Later, I swore that in this life I would become a doctor and heal my father. As time went on, because I was the eldest in the family and my grades were exceptional, my parents had to ensure that I received an education, at the cost of my siblings not having the opportunity. My sister even started working early, moved to the county to work, just to help pay my tuition fees. Unfortunately, later on..."

Qiu Mingyan bitterly curled his lips, "She didn’t have any special skills, only her looks, so she ended up as a hostess."

In an instant, Feng Chengyue’s heart was deeply touched.

And Qiu Mingyan continued, "Not to mention my brother, who farmed his whole life, lived to 25 years old, and the furthest place he’s been is the county. When he was young, he fought with others, afraid of being bullied or ridiculed because of our father’s disability. He tattooed a dragon on his arm and has scars from knife fights, he looks like a delinquent."

"So, this is my family, the environment I was born into, Yu Yu, it’s not that I don’t want to marry you, it’s that I can’t. Our family statuses are miles apart, such a family means that the romantic marriage you dream of will never exist, not even having both families sit down for a meal to discuss engagement matters. I’m sorry, not even considering how your family might despise us and the humiliation you would face, I myself cannot withstand such a blow to my pride."

"Mingyan..." In an instant, with Feng Chengyue choking up.

Qiu Mingyan only smiled once more.

"So, I love you, yet I cannot marry you. Not even an ordinary man can marry you, much less me, who is the hope cultivated by the whole village, they are still waiting for me to return. I just cannot selfishly say I have to forget this communal gratitude. I am in deep debt, so, Yu Yu..."

Qiu Mingyan lifted his gaze.

The deep Mo Tong was full of reluctance and attachment, longing and liking towards Feng Chengyue.

There was also a faint glimmer of tears.

Taking out a small box from his pocket, he placed it in Feng Chengyue’s palm bit by bit, but didn’t have the courage to open it, nor did he have the courage to put it on her.

"I know you’ve been waiting for me to propose, but I can’t propose, and what’s even more laughable is I don’t even have the courage to buy us a pair of rings. The ring is custom-made, just a single ring without any significance, I thought I could drag it out until the end of the year, but didn’t expect you to be so eager to marry me, so I couldn’t but leave. Keep it as a memento."

With that, Qiu Mingyan took out from his side bag a letter and a thick document, handing them to Feng Chengyue together.

The next moment, with a shoulder bag, before he stood up, he gently kissed her forehead.

"Find a good husband and have a happy life, I will forever bless you."

Then he turned and left...

As Qiu Mingyan walked away, Feng Chengyue gazed at that tall and slender back, her heart felt like it was being cut with a knife, tears welled up.

Slowly she opened the wedding ring box in her palm.

It was indeed not an engagement ring, but a custom ring engraved with Q?Y.

Feng Chengyue knew, it stood for — Qiu Aiyue...
