Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 809 - V656: Love Spans a Thousand Mountains and Rivers, Love Is a Lifelong Obsession [4]

However, Feng Chengyue paused, thinking about what Qiu Mingyan might say.

Yet, Qiu Mingyan said nothing, just as he had always taken care of her, he slowly handed the towel over.

Her eyes reddened, and she said, "No, don’t open."

He just continued to hand it over.

She said again, "No, don’t open."

He just continued to hand it over.

Finally, after repeatedly insisting, even Feng Chengyue couldn’t bear how Qiu Mingyan tolerated her spoiled temper, he finally placed the towel on her face, gently cupping her noticeably thinner cheeks, delicately wiping her brows and eyes with warm water.

This action made Feng Chengyue’s eyes red.

Qiu Mingyan said nothing, he just, after wiping her face, changed bowls, and took Feng Chengyue’s small feet out from under the blanket, holding them in his palm, and silently placed them into the basin.

Qiu Mingyan’s hands had never served another’s body aside from performing surgery, whether they lived together in the past or now.

Every time after her foot surgery, when she was tired from standing, Qiu Mingyan would bring her a basin of water, carefully massaging her soles, washing her calves, massaging every potential swollen point, and when she was sleepy and tired, wanting to fall right asleep, he would look at her with a helpless smile, then carry her to the bathtub in the bathroom, filling it with water, not touching her private parts, cleansing her whole body...

So, as memories flowed, when Qiu Mingyan’s gentle, meticulous actions once again silently emerged.

Feng Chengyue couldn’t control her emotions, reaching out to embrace his neck.

"Ming Yan~~~ why? Why don’t you want me? Wouldn’t it be good to return to Rong City with me?"

This questioning seemed to pierce the softest, most painful place in Qiu Mingyan’s heart. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

In fact, how could he not want Yu Yu, he loved her, liked her from the first meeting, loved her boldness and persistence from the first time she proactively framed him as her boyfriend.

But... such love was destined to be a path full of thorns.

Thinking of what Jing Country had said to him back then when he found him...

He bitterly smiled, finally, slowly said, "Yu Yu, it’s not that I don’t want you, but let’s face reality, our identities are too mismatched, we can’t be together, now you see the conditions and situation in my family. Besides, I must repay my debt, this is not something I can decide by will or unwillingness, we can’t live just for ourselves, I owe my whole village a debt, I can’t shed this burden, so I’m truly sorry..."

"No way, why there is no way? Ming Yan, I don’t want to hear sorry, are those villagers really more important to you than me? Don’t you love me?"

Qiu Mingyan felt a sting in his heart, perhaps also not knowing how to answer the first question about who was more important, because they were not the same thing.

But the latter...

Looking at Feng Chengyue before him, already crying like pear blossoms in rain, he gazed deeply for a moment, then half-crouched, leaned over, and kissed her lips.

That kiss was enduring and lingering, carrying a seriousness of loving a woman for the first time in thirty-one years.

He kissed deeply and swiftly.
